Today, let's not discuss candlestick charts. I want to talk about how to survive longer in this market.

Over the years, I've seen too many people rush in dreaming of getting rich overnight, only to lose their initial capital. From turning 2000U into 380,000U, every step has been a lesson learned with real money. Today, I’ll share these five ironclad rules, which might be helpful to some.

**Rule 1: Cut losses immediately, don't hope for a rebound**

The market will never turn around just because you stubbornly hold on. Once your stop-loss is hit, walk away without hesitation. The greed to hold on longer only deepens the wounds. This isn't about giving up; it's about protecting yourself with the most basic operation.

**Rule 2: Rest after consecutive mistakes**

If you keep losing on five consecutive trades in a short period, it's not bad luck—your rhythm is completely out of sync. The smartest thing to do at this point is to turn off the screen and get a good sleep. Restart your brain, and tomorrow's market will be clearer.

**Rule 3: Turn profits into cash immediately**

The numbers in your account are illusions; only what you withdraw to your wallet is real money. My habit is to transfer out a portion every time I earn $3,000, so I can experience the real sense of gains and also accumulate evidence of my ability to survive.

**Rule 4: Follow the trend, stay put during consolidation**

The trend is your friend, and sideways ranges are like a meat grinder. When you can't understand the direction, doing nothing is the best approach. If you get itchy to chase the oscillations, nine out of ten times you'll get cut.

**Rule 5: Limit single position size to 10%**

Only by accepting losses can you go further. Small positions keep your mindset stable and your vision clear. When your position size grows, you start doing stupid things.

The most important truth in this market is: surviving longer is a hundred times more valuable than making quick profits. The abyss is always there, but you can choose not to jump down.

One last message for everyone: you come here to make money, not to gamble with your life. Master the skills of survival first, and making money will come naturally.
