After 8 years of navigating the crypto world, I realize that many people's losses are not due to the market being dangerous, but rather due to unstructured operations. If you're also repeating trial and error, it's better to stop and review these proven practical rules—full of valuable insights, no fluff.

**The First Lesson in Fund Management**
For capital under 200,000, there's no need to pursue high-frequency trading. Being satisfied with catching one major upward wave per year is enough. Full position trading only accelerates risk because you're not a market maker and can't withstand the losses from high-frequency trial and error.

**Cognition Is the Ceiling**
Before live trading, you must repeatedly practice your mindset with a demo account, mastering fear, greed, and hesitation. You can lose hundreds of times on a demo, but a single mistake in live trading could wipe out your account. Don't underestimate the importance of mindset in trading.

**Decisions at Critical Moments**
If you don't exit on the day of major positive news, you must act when the market opens high the next day—history repeatedly proves that "positive news realization" often marks the turning point of the trend. Also, decisively reduce or clear positions a week before holidays; holidays are never a good time to send money.

**Mid- to Long-Term Trading Rhythm**
Don't rely solely on faith to hold positions blindly. Keep enough cash reserves, take profits by reducing positions during rallies, and buy back during panic dips. Such rolling operations can help avoid becoming a bagholder. Assets like $CRV often cost investors dearly due to faith-based accumulation.

**Short-Term Coin Selection Logic**
Focus only on active coins with sufficient trading volume and volatility. Coins without volume and volatility are a waste of effort to discuss. Slow rebounds follow declines, rapid surges accompany sharp drops—finding the right rhythm of decline helps choose the correct operation method.

**Practical Technical Framework**
For short-term trading, focusing on the 15-minute chart is enough. Use candlestick patterns and KDJ to find buy and sell points; don't let too many indicators disrupt your rhythm. The method isn't about many tools; sustainable compounding often comes from just two or three tricks. Stability depends on focus, not flashy techniques.

**The Last Two Bottom Lines**
If you buy wrong, admit it immediately; stop-loss must come before everything. As long as your capital is intact, there's still a chance to turn things around. Holding on blindly only hands over the initiative to the market.

The market rewards those who are disciplined, willing to admit mistakes, and can survive, even if they try different approaches.
