#数字资产市场动态 I've seen too many people rush into the crypto world with ambitions, only to quietly disappear without a trace.

The crypto space is never short of stars; what’s lacking is those who last long enough. Truly enduring traders rely not on extraordinary skills but on a reverence for market rules—without this, no matter how smart you are, you'll have to pay tuition.

The reason I’ve come this far is because of these eight ironclad rules, which I keep refining myself:

**1. Short-term cycles set the rhythm, long-term cycles set the direction**

Look at the daily chart to identify trend direction, and find specific buy or sell points on the 1-hour or 4-hour charts. Don’t foolishly look for entry signals on the monthly chart—that’s a mistake. Real profits are often hidden in smaller timeframes; look for them carefully.

**2. When the trend becomes unclear, staying out of the market is the best position**

What happens when candlesticks become a tangled mess? Forced trading is just giving away money. True market opportunities aren’t snatched; they’re waited for quietly.

**3. Don’t chase hot trending assets; avoid cold coins**

Understanding capital flow reveals market sentiment. Coins with low trading volume, even if cheap, are traps—stay away.

**4. Plan your trades, follow your trading plan**

Before placing an order, think clearly: Why are you entering? At what point will you cut losses? How much profit will make you exit? Those impulsive moves are almost always traps.

**5. Learn from others’ ideas, but never rely on them as your main guide**

Information can be referenced, but the decision-making power must stay with you. Logic that hasn’t been verified by yourself will cause panic when the market swings violently.

**6. Clarify the big picture first, then choose specific targets**

The movements of Bitcoin and Ethereum set the tone for the entire market. If they go bad, small coins are unlikely to go against the trend. Reversing the order leads to total failure.

**7. Never try to guess the bottom, nor force a bottom buy**

During a decline, what you think is the “bottom” is often just the halfway point. Entering from the right side might earn less but will allow you to survive longer.

**8. After large fluctuations, force yourself to stay calm**

Whether you make big profits or suffer big losses, never open new positions on the same day. Decisions made under emotional control are 90% likely to be regretted later.

**The harsh reality of the crypto world**

Sometimes, more people lose money in a bull market than in a bear market—greed ultimately defeats reason.

Among traders who get wiped out, 80% aren’t wrong about the direction; they simply lose control of their positions.

What truly helps you turn things around isn’t some miraculous operation, but the discipline you repeat every day.

I’ve seen many people rise from lows, and I’ve observed their common trait—none of them rely on luck. They are driven by four words: execute to the end.

The market is always there, but your capital may not last until the end. Embed the rules of the market deep into your bones, and you might be the last one sitting at the table.
