I've been in this circle for eight years and have seen too many people come and go. To be honest, surviving here doesn't depend on any advanced skills, but on two things—keeping your mindset steady and never relaxing your risk control.

A lot of people come in wanting to get rich quick. I get it—who doesn't? But those who rush to make fast money usually die the fastest. Trading is about endurance, not bursts of energy. If you panic the moment the market fluctuates, you're basically done. I often tell my friends: "Learn how to survive first, then think about making money." It may sound cowardly, but that's the truth.

I have a few ironclad rules when it comes to risk control. First, never go all-in—keep each position under 10%. Second, always set a stop-loss; don't wait for the market to "give you a chance to bounce back"—that's gambler's thinking. If the trend is wrong, cut your losses immediately. Losing a little is always better than getting liquidated. Third, diversify your positions—don't put all your eggs in one basket. Even elementary school kids understand this, but when it comes to actually trading, many people forget.

Now, about trends—I don't use any complicated indicators, just trend lines, moving averages, and trading volume. Simple and direct. The key is not to blindly follow market sentiment—chasing when it goes up, panicking when it drops. That's letting the market lead you by the nose. What's the right way? Wait for a pullback, look for a low point, and enter patiently. "Buy low, sell high" sounds easy, but very few people actually do it—most just can't wait.

I've seen so many people with decent skills who still end up falling because of greed and impatience. So what if you miss a few waves? As long as you survive, there will always be more opportunities. Those who operate steadily may make money slowly, but their accounts keep growing. The ones hoping for a quick turnaround usually end up getting liquidated in one go.

That's why I always emphasize: the most important thing in this market isn't how much you can make, but how long you can survive. Stick to the rules, keep your emotions in check, control your risks, and time will naturally give you the answer. Stop stumbling around in the dark—I'm already holding up a light for you.
