#数字资产动态追踪 Seven years ago, I was the same—buying high and getting cut, bottom-fishing and stepping into traps, full positions爆仓到只剩零头. Watching others showcase profits, I constantly doubted whether I was cut out for this. But it was during that dark period that I was forced to make a change: I had to develop a methodology that could help me survive.
In these seven years, I have lost three accounts, stepped into all the rookie traps—listening to insider tips, trading with leverage, chasing highs to buy in. After countless painful lessons, I distilled nine ironclad rules for trading. With this approach, I turned my account into an eight-figure sum in five years, maintaining a win rate of over 85%. Today, I share all of this in hopes of helping you avoid detours.
**Iron Rule 1: When a strong coin drops 5%, don’t sell; if it drops 7%, watch the market** It’s okay if the price drops 5%, but if it continues to fall for 7 days without stopping, don’t touch it yet. Conversely, once it stabilizes around day 7, you can try a small position on day 8, likely catching a rebound.
**Iron Rule 2: Take profits after 3 consecutive days of rise** I learned the hard way that “rises for 3 days must retrace.” Now, whenever I see a coin rising for three days in a row, no matter how much profit I’ve made, I sell 30% first, and hold the rest to observe the trend. Greed is the most expensive tuition in crypto.
**Iron Rule 3: Don’t rush to buy coins that drop over 5% in a single day** Don’t think that a 5% dip in a bullish coin is an opportunity. Usually, there are another 2-3 days of inertia downward. Wait until the decline slows significantly and volume starts to shrink; then it’s safer to enter.
**Iron Rule 4: Re-enter after a major coin’s correction breaks key support lines** If a key support like the 30-day moving average is broken, a short-term rebound is unlikely. Be patient and wait, or exit first.
**Iron Rule 5: No signals after 5 days of sideways movement, cut 50% and watch** Market sideways can be the most misleading. If there’s no direction after 5 days, the risk outweighs the reward. Reduce your position by half and wait for real signals.
**Iron Rule 6: If holding for 2 days without profit, cut your losses immediately** Time is also a cost. If after 2 days there’s no profit, the position might be wrong. Exit decisively and look for the next opportunity.
**Iron Rule 7: When the top three losers drop over 10% with decreasing volume, expect a rebound the next day** If the biggest losers in the market all fall over 10% simultaneously with a sharp volume decline, it’s often a bottom signal. The next day, there’s a 3%-5% chance of a rebound.
**Iron Rule 8: Divergence between volume and price must lead to a change in trend** If the price is rising but volume is shrinking, it’s a false rally—reduce your position to avoid risk. Conversely, if the price is falling but volume is shrinking, it’s often a sign of stabilization, and small positions can be added.
**Iron Rule 9: Only trade coins with both the 5-day and 30-day moving averages trending upward** Trend is king. Coins with both lines moving up are the strongest in market sentiment. Don’t follow the crowd into other trades; stick firmly to this zone.
I used to be a gambler, but I later realized: the crypto market isn’t a casino, but a battlefield for those who follow the rules. Gamblers will eventually be eliminated by the market; only by embedding these ironclad rules into your bones can you survive to the end and earn real profits.
Over these seven years, I’ve seen too many stories of people entering and losing, then leaving. I’ve also seen those who persist and achieve stable profits through methodology. The difference is that some are taught lessons by the market, while others actively learn.
If you’ve already stumbled in crypto or haven’t found a stable trading method yet, these 9 ironclad rules can be directly applied. Each one has been verified with real money.

Honestly, only those who dare to buy after 7 days of decline tend to live longer. I once got caught in the trap of rushing in after 5 days of decline and learned a bloody lesson.
Selling half after 3 days of consecutive rise is something I also do now. Greed is truly the most expensive tuition fee, no doubt.
Only buy when the 5-day and 30-day moving averages are both trending upward. That’s the right way. No need for too many words, just follow the trend.
Avoid coins that break the 30-day moving average; too many people get caught on the phrase "It will definitely rebound."
Stop loss if no profit is made in two days. I couldn’t do this before, but now it’s ingrained in my mind.
All 9 rules are tested with real money, which is admirable. But how many people actually follow through?
Reducing positions after 5 days of sideways movement is a very clear logic, yet some people get fooled by news every day.
I find the divergence between volume and price the most practical; if it looks like a fake rally, you should run immediately.

technically speaking, the volume metrics here are demonstrably sub-optimal—if you actually analyze the data, most retail traders can't consistently execute rule 6 without incurring unnecessary slippage costs. the math doesn't check out empirically.

Listen, 9 ironclad rules? Tried them and you'll see the market will teach you a lesson in reverse
---
Running after 3 consecutive days of gains? I only got out after 5 days of continuous rise, and it dropped 20% immediately. Who can withstand that?
---
I need to remember the divergence between volume and price; I've stepped into the trap of fake rallies too many times
---
The difference between gamblers and traders, it's really spot on. I was awakened by this sentence
---
85% win rate? Not bragging, I believe it. But the problem is most people simply can't stick to discipline
---
The worst feeling is when you don't sell after a 3-day rise, and then on the 4th day, it starts to pull back
---
The dual upward trend of the 5-day and 30-day moving averages is a bit absolute. Give it a try
---
I used to completely do the opposite when the price didn't touch the 7-day dip for 7 days. No wonder I kept losing
---
Setting a stop-loss for 2 days is a bit harsh, but thinking in reverse, it definitely saved me a lot of money
---
One truth: no matter how awesome the methodology is, without self-control, it's all useless

That really hits home. I used to get cut so badly that I doubted life... Now I just stick to these few rules and stop messing around.
Selling after 3 consecutive days of rise—I've experienced this deeply. How many times have I greedily taken a chance only to get caught in a reversal?
3 accounts in 7 years... buddy, that's a huge price to pay. But those who survive truly understand this point.
It still feels like it needs to be refined over time. Even the best methodology is easy for beginners to violate.
Not daring to move after a 7-day decline—I need to remember this to avoid getting caught again.
The concept of time cost is pretty good. I used to completely ignore the time spent holding.
Only act when both lines are trending upward—simple and straightforward. At least this way, I can survive a bit longer.

It's another 8-digit legendary story. I just want to know where the account screenshot is.
