$PIPPIN has grown from 3,000U to 280,000U. Honestly, it's not that my skills are extraordinary, but that I understand the importance of respecting the market and have strong execution.
The flow of wealth in the crypto world is very fast. Those relying on luck will eventually be washed out. Only those who stick to their bottom line and survive until the end will be the ones laughing.
Over the past few years, I have stepped on countless pits. Every loss has been a hard lesson taught by the market. I later realized that the secret to survival is hidden in these "untouchable rules."
**Rule 1: Admit mistakes immediately, don't fight the trend**
When the trend reverses, exit as soon as possible. The market is never wrong; only your money is at risk. Those hoping for a rebound or betting on miracles will find reasons when they get margin called. Admitting mistakes is not shameful; it's a basic quality of professional traders.
**Rule 2: Stop immediately after consecutive losses**
It's normal to have a few unsuccessful trades, but if you keep blowing up positions, it's not a technical issue—your mindset has already been disturbed. The best thing to do at this point is not to grit your teeth and continue, but to stop, calm down for a few days, and regain your feel. If your emotions control your trades, turning the situation around will be a distant dream.
**Rule 3: Take profits promptly**
No matter how beautiful the numbers look in your account, they are not real money until you withdraw them to your wallet. My rule is: after earning a certain profit, take out a part immediately. Never give the market a chance to wipe it all out in one go. Making money should be steady, and taking profits should be decisive.
**Rule 4: Follow the trend, stay away from choppy markets**
When a trend appears, go with it. When there's no trend, be a spectator. Choppy markets are the biggest deceivers; entering them is like paying tuition to the market makers. The real big opportunities always exist within clear trends. Otherwise, it's better to stay on the sidelines.
**Rule 5: Control your position size, never be fully invested**
The larger the position, the easier it is for your mindset to spiral out of control. Small positions allow you to survive longer and attract continuous opportunities. Once you go all-in, not only will your account explode, but your rationality will also vanish completely.
Ultimately, the real game in the crypto world is never about getting rich overnight, but about surviving. Those who can sit at the table the longest will find that making money is just a matter of time.
Remember this: Survive first, then talk about turning things around. Starting today, engrain these rules into your bones, live longer, and earn more steadily.

Listen, I admit the third point hit me. Account's lucky numbers are really very deceptive. So many times I hesitated to withdraw, and a wave of pullback wiped it all out. This time I learned my lesson, take the profit and run, don't be greedy.

Sounds good, but I'm more concerned about how many people can actually cut losses. Most people just talk the talk, and when there's a pullback, they start buying the dip.

Basically, it's just two words: survive. Watching so many accounts blow up and still talking about technical analysis—it's hilarious.

It sounds good, but it's just good luck that you hit the right coin. However, I truly agree with the point that once your mindset is messed up, you should stop. After losing a few times, I realized that continuing will only make things worse and worse.

Surviving is indeed eye-opening, but no matter how eloquently it's said, execution is what truly matters. Most people forget after they turn away.

This set of rules sounds good, but very few people can actually follow them. The friends I know who are fully invested have gone silent now.
