Today I checked the data dashboard, and it's been exactly a month and a half since I joined Gate Plaza.

The data from the backend looks pretty impressive: 186 pieces of content, 3.4 million views. For a trader focused on short-term Ethereum trades, in this noisy market, this set of data can be considered vibrant. I'm also steadily approaching my private domain goal. $ETH

When reviewing, what I value most is actually another set of hardcore data: in this month and a half, nearly 30 public order prices and reference strategies have been recorded, with 5 stop-losses. All records are traceable, nothing has been deleted.

Someone asked me, Lao Bao, with such high-frequency output and trading, what underlying insights do you have? Today, I’ll share a few words.

1. Dare to put your cards on the table

In this circle, many believe in “making big money quietly,” afraid that strategy stop-losses will lead to criticism or ridicule.

But I want to say: criticism always happens behind the scenes. In the internet age, ordinary people want to cross social tiers, and the logic is simple—if you want to stand out, you must actively showcase yourself.

I have consistently posted nearly 200 pieces of content, openly sharing over 30 short-term strategies. Why? Because some things are not about who is more talented, but about who dares to do. When you help others avoid big pitfalls with real strategies, what you get in return is a flood of green lights and trust.

2. Treat stop-losses as your daily fitness in trading

Nearly 30 trades, 5 stop-losses. That means I’ve taken more than twenty hits, and truly endured 5 cuts.

Many beginners fear stop-losses. But in my system, strict stop-loss is like unwavering daily exercise. Not exercising, eating recklessly—people get four highs; holding positions, heavy positions, frequent trades—these are the four highs of an account.

These 5 stop-losses are the core defensive line of my trading system. Are there times I hesitate to cut? Times I want to hold and wait for a rebound? Not fully skilled yet, sometimes yes. But as soon as the logic level is broken, the cut is inevitable—blood will be drawn, even if it’s against oneself.

Without this counterintuitive discipline, you won’t survive a full cycle of bull and bear markets in this meat grinder of a market. Your account balance is filled with your discipline.

3. Respect your job: manage everything with professional tools

I have friends who look at K-line charts on their phones and open trades based on feelings. As soon as I find out, I always advise them to stop.

Because you lack the most basic respect for trading. Real money is fighting in the market—this is our livelihood. The computer is our weapon, our command center. Screen size, computing power, information density—these directly determine trading quality. Someone who’s unwilling to even open their computer can’t do well in trading.

Secondly, manage everything with data. My win rate, profit/loss ratio, the specific reasons for those 5 stop-losses—all are recorded in Excel. Many people seek mysterious technical indicators but are unwilling to spend effort recording and reviewing their trading history.

Surprises always come from keenly tracking tiny data. This is using algorithms to manage life.

4. Build genuine “economic links” with like-minded people

There’s a saying in the crypto world: good friends shouldn’t trade each other; profits may not be appreciated, but losses will definitely cause conflicts.

I came to the plaza to find like-minded people. What’s the strongest bond? Economic bonds. We’re not here to listen to motivational speeches; we’re here to make money. The followers in the real trading group aren’t cold numbers—they’re real profit and loss interactions generated by these 30 strategies. I sincerely hope everyone keeps up the pace and earns their own profits.

When you use real strategies to create positive economic mutual benefits with brothers, that trust becomes unbreakable.

That’s all for now, just feeling inspired. Moving forward, the iron discipline and rhythm remain unchanged.
