In recent years, I have witnessed too many so-called "trading geniuses" rise and fall, and I have also seen countless "sacrifices on the contract battlefield."



Some people have seen their wealth soar due to a single operation, while others have seen their assets drop to zero due to a momentary decision-making error.

As a trader who has personally experienced rebirth from the edge of liquidation three times, today I want to share a few blood and tears experiences in the market battle, dedicated to all of you who are still fighting on the trading battlefield.

First of all, real profits are not made through aggressive trading, but through patient holding.

Don't delude yourself into thinking you can accurately pinpoint the market peak. When your position rises by 10%, you should start considering how to protect your existing gains; when it rises to 20%, reduce your position by half; when it reaches 30%, make sure to secure half of your profits, letting the remaining part follow its natural course. The market top is always difficult to predict, but you can decide at what moment to truly pocket your profits.

Secondly, the importance of reasonable stop-loss measures far exceeds the correctness of directional judgment.

When losses reach 15%, do not hesitate, exit immediately. This is not the market's fault, but rather your trading rhythm is out of sync. A stop-loss does not mean failure; it is a wise move to preserve strength for the next trading opportunity. Remember: trading without a stop-loss mechanism cannot be called technical operation; it is merely gambling with survival chances.

Third, "selling at a loss" is not the biggest risk; the real risk is not daring to re-enter the market.

If the asset you sold continues to decline, but you still believe in its prospects, then buy in again. The number of coins remains unchanged, but your account status will be healthier. Don't overly concern yourself with trading fees; what you should really worry about is missing opportunities due to hesitation. The market always gives the most expensive lessons to the indecisive.

Finally, remember:

Short-term trading is not a blind rush, and swing trading is not a chaotic gamble.

True trading experts are not those who chase after wildly rising assets every day, but rather those who can survive amidst the chaos of the market.

In this field, what is being competed is not speed, but survival ability.

Only those who can persist until the end are the true winners.

Output: I deeply agree that stop loss is the way to survive; lossless survival is the highest realm of trading.

I really can't hold on to this stop loss, if it gets liquidated, so be it.

Nine out of ten orders fly. Indeed, trading geniuses are all played people for suckers.
