Five Golden Rules for Trading Discipline

1. Only trade strong assets, using the 60-day moving average as the bullish and bearish dividing line
Price must stabilize above the 60-day line and remain steady before considering entry or adding positions; if it effectively breaks below, exit unconditionally. The key is not in predicting the trend accurately, but in executing decisively.

2. Abandon chasing high during overextended rallies
When a main upward wave exceeds 50% in gains, the expected room for growth has been largely consumed. Chasing at this point offers a poor risk-reward ratio. Instead of getting trapped at high levels, patiently wait for low positions to accumulate.

3. Before the main upward wave begins, there is often a clear buildup structure
Prior to a major trend starting, it usually manifests as narrow-range oscillations (10%-20% amplitude) at low levels + continuous decreasing volume. Recognizing such structures allows for phased light positions, aiming to capture subsequent main upward profits.

4. The golden window for new themes appears in the first few days
After a new hot spot or sector emerges, the initial trading days are the phase with the best risk-reward ratio. Participating in this window in line with the trend is far more efficient than chasing and selling in later stages.

5. Being willing to hold cash in a bear market is a top skill
When the market enters a downtrend, reduce trading frequency or even go completely flat. Those who buy are apprentices, those who sell are masters, and those who hold cash are true experts. Better to miss opportunities than to make mistakes.

Ultimately, trading is not about IQ but about review ability, emotional control, and execution. After a bull and bear cycle, the necessary understanding will naturally come.
This market is transparent enough for ordinary people—mainstream assets like BTC and ETH mainly depend on personal discipline for gains and losses, not insider information.

Final sentence: If you experience long-term continuous losses, accept the possibility that you are "not suited" to this. Exiting timely is also a sign of mature trading awareness.
