Many people are blinded by profits and speed before entering the market, thinking they are taking shortcuts, but in reality, they are accelerating their "exit."



My ability to hold out in this market until now is not because my operations are highly precise, but because I never trap myself in a dead end.

**Position size is the first line of defense**

Holding a large position seems to yield high efficiency, but essentially it means handing your account over to volatility. When the market moves against you, your mind immediately goes into chaos, and every subsequent step becomes a patch-up rather than a true decision. The real significance of position size is to allow you to make mistakes and still stay in the game.

**Don’t go against the market**

Guessing bottoms and tops sounds clever, but before the trend is clear, all judgments are gambling. When the trend is intact, follow the momentum; don’t change direction recklessly. Going against the trend, one loss is not enough.

**Know your loss threshold**

Many people only think about how much they can make, but they never seriously ask themselves—if I make a wrong move, how many points can I bear? Think through your acceptable loss range thoroughly before taking action. A stable mindset naturally follows, and your account won’t collapse inexplicably.

**Learning to "stay still" is more valuable than frequent trading**

The biggest mistake beginners make isn’t misunderstanding the market, but being unable to stop their fingers. Bitcoin isn’t something you get a chance to trade every day; sometimes waiting on the sidelines is more challenging than constantly tinkering. Trading less often can help you better grasp the true rhythm.

Don’t be greedy, don’t go against the trend, and prioritize protecting your principal. As long as you’re still at the table, good opportunities will come to you eventually.

Trading is never about who runs faster, but about who can see clearly in uncertainty and walk steadily.

Really, I really dislike those who keep shouting about bottom-fishing every day. I'm tired of the scene where they go all-in in one shot and then get liquidated immediately. As for position sizing, honestly, it's just to prevent yourself from messing up.

Really? I once lost money because I couldn't stay idle, but now I've become more stable in making profits.

That's so true, position management is really the key to survival. I used to be reckless before, but now I've learned to stay out of the market and wait, which actually earns me more.
