#Gate广场四月发帖挑战 Many people ask me, why am I willing to openly trade with my followers?
#ETH The answer is very simple: I’ve experienced liquidation losses myself and understand that surviving in the crypto world is more important than making quick money.
2020 was the most difficult year for me. At that time, I was managing contracts for over twenty followers on altcoins, and a sudden wave of bad news caused us all to get liquidated.
Late at night, my phone vibrated, and a message pierced my heart: “Bro, this money is for my mom’s surgery.”
That night, I couldn’t sleep, turning over and over, finally realizing: what matters in trading isn’t how accurate your predictions are, but whether you can protect others’ principal.
Since then, I’ve established three ironclad rules for trading, which I haven’t broken in four years.
First rule: pass the “survival” test before entering. My first question is always: “If you lose all this money, will it affect your life?” If the answer is “yes,” I advise them to cut their position in half or even practice on a demo account first.
Second rule: stop-loss is a lifeline. I never take it lightly; every stop-loss point is marked in red and bold in the group, and I keep reminding everyone: “If you hit the line, get out—don’t hold onto false hopes.”
In March this year, I guided everyone through a swing trade on SOL. A follower messaged me privately, saying he wanted to cancel his stop-loss and take a gamble. I immediately sent a voice message to advise him for ten minutes.
Less than an hour later, the price plummeted 28%. He later sent me a special gift to thank me—this incident strengthened my belief that risk control is always more important than profit.
Third rule: waiting for the right opportunity is more reliable than chasing every chance. I don’t trade every day; most of the time, I teach followers to “sit tight.”
Last month, ETH was consolidating sideways. Someone in the community kept asking, “Why aren’t you trading?” I showed them a data chart: in the past six months, we only made 10 trades, but with an 85% win rate.
The best opportunities only come three to five times a year; reckless trading just hands fees to the exchange.
After four years of trading, my deepest realization is: how much you can help others earn depends on how well you can help them avoid pitfalls.
The most frightening thing in crypto isn’t missing opportunities; it’s losing all your principal when you shouldn’t. Protect your capital, and endless possibilities will follow.
