The three iron laws of trading, I used them to accumulate 1.32 million USDT in one year.

No luck involved, nor any sudden news predictions.

When I was a beginner, I always dreamed of doubling a single trade, but most of the time I ended up losing.

It was only later that I realized, what truly makes your wallet grow fat are those seemingly "boring" rules.

**Rule 1: Don't follow the trend, don't trade blindly.**

When the market trend is unclear, I stay out of the market and wait. I don't guess the top or try to catch the bottom. I wait until the trend truly reveals itself before entering. Less trading means less natural loss. This rule is the hardest to understand, but also the most effective—many people lose money because they get "stuck at the bottom" or "rush to the top."

**Rule 2: Keep some room for survival in your position.**

No matter how optimistic I am about a certain direction, I only allocate 20% to 30% of my funds to a single position. The reason is simple: as long as you don't go all-in, there's no situation of "total defeat." The market will teach you humility, but you don't have to use your principal to learn that lesson. I've seen too many people wipe out months of gains overnight due to heavy gambling. The essence of position management is to continue operating on the basis of "I might be wrong."

**Rule 3: Take profits when you should, admit mistakes when you need to.**

Before entering a trade, plan your take-profit and stop-loss levels. When the time comes, close the position directly. Don't chase the last percentage point, don't hope for a reversal, and don't argue with the market by adding positions. Calm and stable minds are often the ones who make the most money.

Honestly, this trading style isn't exciting at all; there's no rollercoaster thrill in front of the screen.

But look at the net value curve of your account—that's the most honest feedback—steadily upward.

I now also have friends in the crypto space. Some are hundreds of times better at technical analysis than I am, with candlesticks, moving averages, and volume-price relationships at their fingertips. But their accounts are not as stable as mine, and they often fall into difficulties. What's the difference? It's not technical depth, but self-discipline.

Those who can stick to the rules gradually make money. Those who can't, no matter how good the market is, are just moving money in and out—money can't stay in the account.

This is the biggest dividing line in trading.
