#ETH走势分析 Last year I met an investor who only had 2,700 USDT in his account and wanted to recover his previous losses. I didn’t use any complicated technical indicators when talking to him; I just shared three ironclad rules I learned from getting burned in the market. As a result, in three months, he grew his account to 50,000 USDT and didn’t get liquidated once during the entire process. How deeply you understand these survival tips depends on how much respect you have for the market.

**Rule 1: Split your money into three parts, survival always comes first**

I told him to divide his 2,700 USDT evenly into three parts, each with 900 USDT, and not touch a single cent. That was a hard lesson I learned after going all-in and getting liquidated, lying awake all night unable to sleep. Use the first part for short-term trades—maximum of two positions per day, and turn off your phone once done. The longer you watch, the more tempted you’ll be to get greedy. The second part is for waiting for trends—if the weekly chart doesn’t show a clear bullish pattern and hasn’t broken through key levels with volume, just play dead. Don’t mess around in choppy markets; that’s just giving your money away. The third part is your emergency fund—if there’s a sudden wick and you’re about to get liquidated, this is your lifeline. At worst, getting liquidated means losing a finger, but losing your principal is like losing your head. Without capital, you can’t catch any opportunities.

**Rule 2: Only chase the bite in the trend, hide during other times**

I used to get burned a lot in sideways markets—nine out of ten trades would end badly. Later on, I only recognized three entry signals: if the daily moving averages aren’t lined up in a bullish pattern, stay out of the market—don’t be afraid to miss out. Only enter small when there’s a volume breakout above the previous high and the daily close holds above it. When profits hit 30% of your principal, withdraw half immediately, and set a trailing stop at 10% for the rest—only what’s in your pocket is truly yours. If you’re greedy and try to capture the entire move, you’ll end up giving it all back.

**Rule 3: Lock down your emotions and survive long-term with discipline**

You must write out your trading plan before entering the market and then stick to executing it no matter what. Set your stop-loss firmly at 3%—close the position automatically when it hits, don’t try to hold on. Once you’ve made 10%, immediately move your stop-loss to your entry price; everything after that is a free ride from the market. Shut off your computer at midnight every night sharp, no matter how tempting the charts look. If you really can’t sleep, just uninstall the app. The longer you stare at the screens, the more your emotions get out of control, and once emotions get shaky, your decisions will be wrong.

The market is there every day, but once your principal is gone, it’s really gone. Master these three rules first, and then it’s not too late to study Elliott Wave Theory or indicator systems.
