Trading is not gambling; surviving is the ultimate game rule.

Use Rules to Win the Market, Use Discipline to Win Yourself If you’ve ever experienced the feeling of your eyes glued to the screen, hands trembling as you place an order, and only one thought in your mind: “Go up, go up…” — then this article is for you. And what happens next? The price moves against you. You can’t accept it. You add more orders, hold on tight, average down… and finally, all you can do is watch your account evaporate in a few minutes. After hundreds of real trading orders, I’ve learned a harsh truth: Many people think they are trading, but in reality, they are just rolling dice. Consistently profitable traders do not rely on feelings or luck, but on a System – Discipline – Risk Management. Core Principle: Stop Guessing Price, Follow the Trend The biggest mistake beginners make is treating opening long or short positions as a guessing game — hit or miss. But the market doesn’t reward good guessers; it rewards those who go in the right direction. Experienced traders always follow the sequence: Identify the trend first Enter orders when the trend is clear Stay out if unsure Remember this: Trading is a game of probabilities, not about seeking strong feelings. Leverage Is Not a Money Printing Machine Leverage is just a tool to amplify — amplify both profits and mistakes. 10x: price moves against you by 1% = serious account loss The higher the leverage, the more costly a wrong move is, potentially wiping out your entire account. This is why most futures traders end up with a blown account. Before each order, I always ask myself 3 questions: Is the current trend clear? (On the 4H timeframe, check EMA structure or price trend) Is there any major news or event coming up? If I’m wrong, where should I cut losses? It’s better to enter a little late than early and get slapped in the face by the market. Build a Trading System – Say No to Emotional Trading Beginners trade based on feelings. Long-term traders trade based on systems.

1. Choose Carefully Selected Assets Focus only on major, high-liquidity coins Combine trend, technical analysis, and news Avoid small, low-liquidity coins — even a single unusual candle can wipe out your stop loss Less but quality. No need to trade a lot to make money.
2. Capital Management Is a Survival Condition A simple but highly effective rule: Divide your capital into multiple parts Use only a small portion per trade Never all-in Always keep cash to: Fix mistakes Seize better opportunities Most importantly: avoid being eliminated from the game
3. Clear Trading Discipline Don’t trade excessively in one day Don’t hold onto losing positions Don’t average down when wrong Once stop loss is set, don’t move it Don’t “love” a trade Discipline is the boundary between a trader and a gambler. Risk Management: Survive Before Thinking About Profit Choose Appropriate Leverage Beginners: 2x – 5x is enough Stable traders rarely use more than 10x High leverage doesn’t make you rich faster; it only makes you burn out faster Stop Loss Is Not Failure Cutting losses is a necessary cost of this profession. Without a stop loss, you are not a trader — you are a potential victim. Accept only a small part of your capital at risk per trade Use trailing stops to lock in profits When reaching an important resistance zone, take profit, don’t dream of more Prioritize Isolated Margin Mode Each order independently A blown order doesn’t wipe out the entire account Many people go to zero just because they use full margin without risk control. Conclusion: Trading Is a Journey of Training The longer I stay in the market, the more I understand: Longevity is more important than quick gains. A good trader is not someone who flaunts huge profits on social media, but someone who: Has a clear system Is persistent in execution Always prioritizes risk over reward Keeps a cool head when the market fluctuates If you remember only one thing after reading this, remember this: Use rules to win the market, use discipline to win yourself. Abandon the dream of overnight wealth. Build a system that suits you. And execute it like a machine. That is the only way to sustainably withdraw money from this tempting market.
