#美联储回购协议计划 Crypto enthusiasts all understand these principles, yet they repeatedly stumble in actual trading. I’ve compiled some often-overlooked but crucial trading disciplines, simply put, ways to survive longer.



First, you must have a clear exit plan before entering a trade. This is not empty talk; take profit points must be locked in advance—too many people give back all their gains out of greed. At the same time, stop-loss positions should be decided before pressing the buy button; if possible, don’t move them later.

The risk-reward ratio may seem simple, but it is the underlying logic of trading. Every time, ask yourself: what is the worst outcome I can tolerate? Can I accept losing everything? Only after calculating this can you place an order.

Position management has a simple truth: you can pursue big gains with small positions, but never gamble on a big loss to turn things around. This is the foundation of survival.

Don’t be too superstitious about average cost. Many rely on continuously adding to their positions to "average down," but in a bear market, they sink deeper and deeper. Sometimes admitting loss and exiting is much wiser than self-deception.

Mastering this market takes time. The first cycle is the tuition fee—gradually understanding the market’s temperament through losses; only the second cycle can lead to steady profits. Skipping the first cycle is almost impossible unless you’re very lucky.

The volatility of the crypto market is crazy—after watching it a few times, you’ll understand. Many prefer to be liquidated rather than cut losses and exit; the final choice is often spot holdings, abandoning high-leverage fantasies. Long-term leverage is like sleeping in a casino—problems will come sooner or later.

The essence of trading is to survive and make money, not to make a big fortune and then disappear. These rules may seem old-fashioned, but they shine brightly in any market cycle.

It sounds good, but there are very few who can actually do it. I'm the kind of person who knows to cut losses but just can't bring myself to press the button haha

That's so true. I kept falling into the same traps with stop-loss, and only then did I realize that surviving is more important than anything else.

That's right, it's just that stubborn refusal to repent, still adding leverage over and over again despite knowing these things. Understanding a hundred times, still acting impulsively, this is the reality of the crypto world. Writing the word "stop loss" on paper and trying to remember it in your mind are two different things; the bloody lessons are too many. Average cost is truly a poison; I understand all too well the feeling of sinking deeper the more I average down, now I'm scared. No matter how well the article is written, once the market drops, everyone forgets everything. Let’s just go through this cycle repeatedly. Living and making money sounds simple, but when it really comes to critical moments, you still want to take a gamble. Greed is a disease that truly can't be cured.

That's right, knowing what to do is easy, but actually doing it is hard. I myself got textbook-style chopped for the first round.

You're right, it's really easy to understand but hard to implement. Every time I think this time will be different, but I end up in the same trap.
