#比特币与黄金战争 $ZEC From 3,000U to 280,000U



This is not luck, nor am I particularly smart—it's simply discipline that makes the difference.

I didn't go all-in, didn't gamble with a reckless mindset, I rely solely on 5 rules to stay alive.

Money in the crypto world comes quickly and goes just as fast. Wealth can skyrocket overnight, and it can also vanish in an instant. I suffered big losses early on; without rules, I operated blindly, getting liquidated several times, and my principal shrank almost to nothing. Only later did I realize: what truly helps you go far isn't luck, but whether you can stick to the rules.

These 5 rules are indispensable.

1️⃣ Cut losses ruthlessly, don’t deceive yourself

Once I almost got wiped out because I thought, "Just a little rebound and I’ll break even." Now, my approach is simple and brutal: when the stop-loss level is hit, I exit immediately. Don’t try to turn the tide; preserving your remaining bullets is more important than anything.

2️⃣ Stop after 5 consecutive losses

When the market turns, it’s easy to chase losses one by one. Five losing trades in a row? Close the app and take a day off. Emotional trading is poison; it will drag you step by step into hell.

3️⃣ Withdraw half of your profits once you make money

The numbers in your account aren’t real money. My habit is to withdraw 50% once I earn 3,000U. This way, during a drawdown, I can at least preserve some profits and avoid losing everything back.

4️⃣ Only trade with the trend, don’t mess around in consolidation

Leverage is a magnifying glass in a trending market, but a meat grinder in sideways movement. When there’s no clear direction, don’t enter even the most tempting opportunities. Better to miss out than get chopped up.

5️⃣ Keep your single-position size within 10% of your principal

Making quick money with leverage is an illusion. Long-term survival depends on position management. Traders with small positions stay calm, don’t shake, and have clearer judgment.

These 5 rules are lessons I learned the hard way, paying with failure after failure.

Whether you're new or experienced, set your survival rules first—only then can you talk about making money. Remember: the first rule in crypto isn’t how much you earn, but whether you survive. Those who can stay alive amid volatility and still make profits are the ones who dare to act and are even braver to stick to the rules.

Well said, discipline truly wins. I used to be the kind of fool who thought "just wait a bit longer and it'll turn around," but ended up losing everything in one go. Now I stick to those 5 rules, especially regarding stop-loss; no matter how painful, I cut. ZEC went from 3,000 to 280,000, which is indeed impressive, but the key is surviving first—this is the main point.

Stop-loss has always been a way I deceived myself until a few months ago when a big loss finally made me realize Bitcoin is actually more stable; these coins are really high risk I agree with the strategy of withdrawing half of the profits each time to avoid future regrets Position management is indeed the core of survival, not just empty words

ngl the 3k to 280k zec thing is giving "survivorship bias meets capital allocation theater" but the position sizing rule? that's actually capital utilization 101. most degens ignore it and wonder why they're liquidated by tuesday lol
