#数字资产动态追踪 **From Liquidation to Eight Figures: The Trading Survival Rules I Developed Over 8 Years**

In 2017, at a restaurant in Xiamen where I worked as a waiter, I first entered the market with a Meizu Blue Charm phone. Within an hour, I got liquidated and lost my entire month's salary. That night, I sat on the top floor of the dormitory, blowing wind all night, almost smashing my phone.

Fortunately, I didn't exit the market. After that, I wrote down 8 ironclad trading rules on sticky notes and stuck them beside my screen. Eight years have passed, the sticky notes have turned yellow and brittle, and the ink has faded, but these rules have saved me countless times. Looking back now, my account has long surpassed eight figures, and these seemingly simple methodologies are the true moat.

**Rule 1: Don’t Stick to Daily K and Wait to Die**

Beginners tend to focus on daily charts, only to be misled by larger timeframe fakeouts. I switched to 30-minute charts, which provide higher information density and more responsive signals. During the 2021 Dogecoin long upper shadow scare, many people were scared off, but I saw volume and price rising together on smaller timeframes, and the next day, it surged 50%. That trade helped me buy my mom a new phone.

**Rule 2: If the Direction Is Wrong, Just Lie Flat**

In 2018, during the bear market, I never lifted my head from the EOS daily chart. I was itching to buy the dip and catch falling knives. But Rule 2 on my sticky note slapped me hard — when the trend reverses, get out. In the end, that coin fell 70%, but I managed to preserve my capital by lying flat in time, and I was able to travel to Sanya.

**Rule 3: Coins Without a Story Are Just Air**

I never touch coins without hot topics, narratives, or mainstream capital attention. Not only is it a waste of effort, but it’s also easy to get trapped. The time saved is used to learn cooking, and my wife even praises me for being promising. That’s a very worthwhile trade-off.

**Rule 4: Before Impulsively Buying, Write Down Your Plan**

Before entering a trade, write your plan in a memo, recite it word by word, and don’t correct typos. This ritual can eliminate 80% of impulsiveness. Many times, I’ve felt something was off halfway through reading, and avoided a cut-loss.

**Rule 5: Treat Influencer Tweets as Background Music**

If an influencer is bullish on BTC today and turns bearish tomorrow, I only look at their tweets as memes. Real decisions come from the support and resistance levels I draw myself while staying up late. I accept losses without blaming the market or others.

**Rule 6: Set Your Direction First, Then Pick Coins**

In 2020, I first decided on DeFi as my track, then selected UNI within it. When the direction is right, trading becomes a matter of lying back and winning — much easier than frequently changing directions chasing hot trends.

**Rule 7: Don’t Guess the Bottom, Follow Through Breaks of Previous Highs**

Traders who try to catch the bottom rarely have a good track record. I only buy when the price stabilizes and breaks previous highs. Although the entry isn’t at the lowest point, the resistance is minimal, and I feel more comfortable, increasing the success rate naturally.

**Rule 8: Shut Down During Extreme Market Conditions**

When my account curve skyrockets or crashes wildly, my first action is to withdraw funds and go to cash, then run 5 kilometers downstairs. Sweating, rebooting my brain, and then reviewing the charts helps me place orders with a 90% success rate.

These 8 rules may seem simple, but anyone who can survive and profit in volatile markets is practicing them without exception. From a month’s salary in liquidation to eight-figure assets, it’s not about secret tricks but these repeatedly validated trading disciplines and managing your psychology.

Hope these experiences help you. $XRP $BNB
