#加密货币市场动态 Last winter, a fren of mine brought 1800U to drink with me. After a few rounds, he suddenly said he wanted to learn something practical from me.
I didn't take it seriously at the time, thinking it was just a casual remark at the dinner table. As a result, three months later he sent me a screenshot of the account, where 1800U had turned into 80,000U, and he had never faced liquidation.
It’s not luck, nor is it some kind of extraordinary talent. He just did one thing right, executing to the extreme the three iron rules that I summarized from losing over a hundred thousand back in the day.
The first point, position management is the line between life and death.
That day I had him split that 1800U into three parts. 600U for short-term trading, only touching it once a day at most, and if unsure, just play dead. 600U for swing trading, if the trend is unclear, treat that money as if it doesn't exist. The last 600U is for emergencies, unchangeable.
Later, when the market crashed, while others were wailing in the group, he managed to escape unscathed because of this rule. Betting everything feels great for a moment, but a liquidation is a funeral pyre; this is not just talk.
The second rule is to only eat the fish body, don't think about the fish head and tail.
The crypto market is mostly frustrating, with only a few real big movements in a year. Are you itching to trade every day? The fees and false breakouts can wear you down. The method I taught him is very simple: if there’s no opportunity, just watch; when the opportunity comes, then take action.
When a single order's profit exceeds 20%, you must take some off the table and not fight against the market. Last week's wave of ZEC行情, he only took the middle 30% of the profit, clean and straightforward. Greed is poison; taking profits when they are good is the antidote.
Third, throw your emotions into the trash can.
You come to the market to make money, not to seek thrills. Cut losses immediately at a 2% loss, and you must reduce your position at a 4% profit. At first, he found these rules uncomfortable, feeling restricted, but looking back now, every one of them was a lifesaver.
He told me a couple of days ago that his mentality towards trading is as calm as a stagnant pool now. If he needs to cut losses, he will; if he needs to hold positions, he will. He won't lose sleep over fluctuations in his account anymore.
This market has never lacked smart people; what it lacks are those who can abide by the rules. In the end, those who survive are often not the ones with the highest IQ, but rather those who understand respect the most.
If you are still operating blindly based on your feelings, getting restless at the sight of candlesticks and always fantasizing about a turnaround, the market will eventually teach you a lesson, it's just a matter of time.

This fren has indeed understood that position management is not just empty talk. I used to be impulsive as well, and as a result, I went all in and wiped out everything. Now, I even have to wear gloves to dare to click when looking at the market.

Talking on paper, those who really earn are the ones who understand restraint.

To be honest, I've been tired of hearing these three iron rules for a long time, but seeing your fren's screenshot is really hard to resist; those who seriously implement them can really survive.

Damn, from 1,800 to 80,000? That’s insane. I need to copy his strategy, especially that position-splitting into thirds method—it feels tailor-made for someone like me who always wants to trade.

The story of going from 1800U to 80,000 sounds a bit familiar... I've seen too many multiples like this, it all depends on whether I can survive until next year to talk again.
2. Has this guy really never blown up his Position? That just means he has purely locked his greed in a cage, which most people can't do.
3. I agree with the point about Position management, but the article feels a bit like it's marketing "iron rules"; you still have to learn from your own mistakes to gain wisdom.
4. The transaction fees can really drain a person... that's quite heart-wrenching; I'm just that fool who operates every day.
5. Did he just take 30% from ZEC and run? I really didn't expect myself to be so rational; maybe I just buy coins for the thrill.
6. I like the word "awe"; the first lesson the market teaches you is often: you aren't as smart as you think.
7. Wait, 1800U turning into 80,000 in three months, that's an average return of 50% per month? That's a bit exaggerated...
8. Throwing emotions in the trash sounds easy, but who can not lose sleep when watching their account take a fall?

From 1800 to 80,000, it's easy to say, but sticking to the rules is indeed difficult. Most people end up getting into trouble because they can't resist the temptation.
---
The three iron rules sound simple, but very few actually follow through, and I'm the type who always wants to take a gamble.
---
I really respect the point of taking profits, I got greedy with that wave of ZEC, and as a result, I was slapped in the face when I took the opposite position, my mindset exploded.
---
Throwing emotions in the trash can sounds nice, but I've hardly seen anyone who can sleep well when their account falls by 3%.
---
Position management is real, last year I went all in once, and I didn't sleep well for two weeks; I never want to experience that again.
---
This method is the secret to living long, not the secret to getting rich; they're two different things.
---
The phrase "Get Liquidated, cremation ground" should be tattooed on the forehead of every person in the crypto world.
---
Those who operate based on feelings will eventually get played for suckers by the market; there's no need for deeper bloody lessons.

Wow, going from 1800 to 80,000, this fren is really ruthless. But to be honest, I've never managed my Position well.

From 1800U to 80,000, this is outrageous... But to be honest, this set of position management is indeed a lifesaver. I used to be impatient and trade every day, and now I finally understand why I was always played for suckers.
---
The hardest part is knowing when to take profits; every time I want to wait a little longer, the result is a slap in the face from the market.
---
The thrill of going all in is real, but the feeling of getting liquidated... you know what I mean, so now I strictly adhere to the three-position method.
---
2% stop loss, 4% reduce position. It sounds simple, but only when executing do you realize this is the ultimate test of human nature.
---
Really, the ones who survive in the end are not the smart ones, but rather those who can hold back.
---
This guy said that having a calm mindset is like dead water, and that wisdom comes from experiencing countless sleepless nights and liquidations...
---
The two killers, fees and false breakouts, are harvesting the impatient every day. It’s safer to act only when you are sure.
---
The phrase 'respect the market' hit me hard; sometimes doing nothing is actually the smartest move.
