Entering an exchange is like walking into a casino—many beginners are doomed to get wiped out from the start.



Why? Because they’re doing the wrong things: guessing up and down all day, watching market sentiment swings, stacking a bunch of technical indicators. And in the end? It’s not the market that defeats you, it’s you who kills yourself first.

My turning point came suddenly. I stopped all predictions and switched to designing trading structures.

What exactly did I do? Before placing an order, I must think through three things—where to cut losses and exit if the account loses to a certain point, at what profit level to take partial profits, and when to withdraw the final profits from the exchange. If I don’t clarify these three checkpoints, I simply won’t act.

There’s a strict rule: as soon as the account profit exceeds the principal, I must forcefully withdraw the money. Those profits sitting in the account? They will eventually be swallowed by the market. **The truly safe money is only the part that has already left the exchange and detached from the market.**

Regarding trend judgment? In the crypto market, most of the time, there’s no clear direction at all. The market frequently oscillates, so I never go all-in on a single direction. Instead, I participate with multiple small positions at different logic points and price levels.

What’s the benefit? Even if your judgment is completely wrong, losses stay within the preset range; once the market moves in your favor, the risk-reward ratio doubles instantly.

My win rate isn’t particularly high, but I’ve survived long enough. Stop-loss is never a failure; it’s a passport to keep sitting at the table. As long as you’re not knocked out by a big loss, the big market will eventually come around to you.

What does trading ultimately come down to? It’s not about who sees the trend most accurately, but who can stay steady and sit there. Remember: the market doesn’t really fear you making mistakes; it fears you getting completely out after just one error.

Now the light is in my hand, and I decide when to leave. What about you?

Damn, I didn't get through any of these three levels.

Stop-loss is truly a craft; few people persevere to the end.

That’s quite a sobering statement. I am the kind of person who only realizes after being cut. --- Stop-loss is really the pass; you can’t continue playing without losing this ticket. --- The profits lying in the account will eventually be eaten up, and this statement hits the mark. --- Using multiple small positions to diversify risk is something I also do, but the execution is not always in place. --- A high win rate doesn’t mean you’ll live long; it sounds simple but actually doing it is really difficult. --- The key is discipline; otherwise, even the best methods are useless. --- The moment you withdraw and exit is the real win; everything before that is just on-paper numbers. --- I’ve seen too many cases where one big loss means the end, so now I must set stop-losses.

No matter how eloquently you put it, in the end, it still depends on who has a stronger mental resilience. Most people simply can't endure that wave of market conditions.
