Brothers, stop messing around.

I have been mentoring students for 5 years, some have spent their ten years' savings in three months, while others have turned 100,000 into a million. The difference is summed up in one sentence: understand the rhythm, survive; trade blindly, perish.

The most common trap for losing money is always this—when prices rise, you hesitate to take profits; when they fall, you stubbornly hold on. You think you are bottom fishing, but the big players are just practicing their skills.

As a result, with one pullback, your capital is halved, and you can't even hear a sound.

What really threatens your financial health? It’s not chasing trends or trading small coins, but rather analyzing structures and following rhythms.

Looking back at all the coins that have doubled this year, which one didn’t first consolidate into a flat line with reduced volume, then suddenly surge with a long green candle?

The BTC movement from 60,000 to 72,000 was textbook: three weeks of sideways trading, with daily increasing volume, culminating in a final 14% bullish candle confirming the breakout. If you entered right after that candle closed, even with just 30% of your capital, your returns would outperform 90% of short-term gamblers.

When I mentor, I only teach three iron rules:

1. Focus only on core coins and mark key levels.

BTC, ETH, SOL daily charts, mark previous highs, previous lows, and areas of high trading volume. If the key levels haven’t been reached, resist the urge to trade; when signals appear, act decisively.

2. Control your position like you control your life; stop losses are like oxygen.

Before entering a position, calculate how much you could lose first, then how much you could gain. Cut losses at 5%, only take profits at 20%. Don’t fantasize about “averaging down on further declines,” that’s a ticket to losing your capital. Limit a single loss to ≤ 2% of total capital; anyone who breaks this rule will be kicked out of the group.

3. Add positions with the trend, clear positions against it.

In a bullish market, reduce your position by 1/3 with each new high, add more on pullbacks; in a bearish market, treat rebounds as opportunities to escape, don’t catch falling knives. Trends are your friends, counter-trends are your enemies; dining with your enemies will eventually lead to betrayal.

Among those I have mentored, the most stable brother started with 200,000 at the beginning of the year, only traded BTC and SOL, and is now at 1,200,000. He had no insider information, no lucky breaks, he just posted the three iron rules on his monitor and read them three times before the market opened each day.

The market never lacks for opportunities; what it lacks is the discipline to control your hands.

When the market moves, do you dare to add positions with the trend? When stop losses are hit, can you cut decisively? If you can’t do these two things, all the technical skills in the world are just for show.

On public platforms, I can only hint at the details.

Remember: money is earned by sitting back, not by frantically gambling.

The rest depends on whether you have the courage to follow through.
