It's all tears when I think about it. The dumbest thing I did back then was turning short-term trading into a "malicious swiping game." During that time, I was crazy, making 8 trades a day, staring at the Candlestick Chart until my eyes turned green. And the result? The transaction Commission I spent was more than what I earned!

Later I realized: short-term trading relies on precise targeting, not mindless spraying. Now I take these few rules as my creed and stick them next to my monitor to remind myself every day.

**Only trade top cryptocurrencies with good liquidity**

Those obscure altcoins with names I can't even remember? I won't touch them. Right now, I'm only focused on the top ten mainstream coins by market cap. It's not about acting superior; these coins have enough depth—when I want to sell, I can execute immediately, unlike those shoddy projects that trap you.

Be patient when looking at technical indicators: wait for the MACD golden cross to see the red bars actually appear before taking action. When the Bollinger Bands are narrowing, hold back first and wait until the direction is fully open before entering the market. It's just like crossing the street; if the red light is on and you insist on rushing, it's no surprise if something goes wrong.

**Divide the principal into five parts**

A few years ago, I put 50,000 yuan into a single bet and lost 20%, which kept me awake all night. Now I've learned to be smarter: no matter if your account is 3,000 or 50,000, split it into 5 equal parts and only use 1 part to open a position each time.

Even if this order incurs a loss, the remaining 4 portions can still cover you. Remember, do not let your position exceed half of the total funds, keep half in cash as a reserve. When the market suddenly crashes and presents opportunities, only then will you have the ammunition to pick up bargains, otherwise, you can only stare blankly.

**Up to 3 trades per day**

The craziest time I tried was staring at the market and executing 8 trades continuously. In the end, when I calculated, the money I made wasn't even enough to cover the platform fees. Now I strictly follow the rules, with a maximum of 3 trades a day. Feeling restless? Then just turn off the computer and go have some tea; don't make excuses for losing money.
