Trading is about understanding certain principles that need to be repeated often. Today, I want to share some heartfelt thoughts with my brothers$ETH

1. Keep your position size fixed, don’t play with percentages

Profit and loss come from the same source. These four words must be engraved in your mind. Why do I always say not to open positions with dynamic percentages? Because the larger the account, the greater the risk. After winning ten trades, just one mistake can wipe out all previous profits in one shot.

Fixed position size is the right way. Take profits when you earn, and don’t let success become the accomplice of the next liquidation.

2. Only the money you withdraw is truly yours

Achieving stable profits for a while, or doubling your account—say from $10,000 to $30,000—at this point, don’t rush to fully leverage. Withdraw $10,000 and secure your gains. Continue trading with the remaining $20,000, keeping a fixed position of 100 ETH.

Why? The numbers in your account are just tools; the money you withdraw and put in your pocket is real. When the principal grows, your risk exposure stays the same, and your mindset becomes much more stable. Lock in profits, keep your position fixed—that’s a healthy cycle.

3. Price points are just references, not commandments

Entry, take profit, stop loss—these are approximate zones, not exact figures to two decimal places. When you monitor the market, combine your habits and real-time data to find the most suitable position for yourself. I set the framework, but pay attention to the details.

Don’t cluster all your orders at one point for take profit or stop loss. Big round numbers tend to attract market “queue jumping.” I suggest setting take profit at 2000; you can set it at 2005, and others at 2003—spacing out orders makes execution smoother. The same applies to stop loss: if the reference is 1920, you might set it at 1921, and others at 1922.5. Be flexible and take different paths.

4. Stop loss is a cost, not a failure

Three years learning to take profits, five years learning to stop loss. When you’re afraid to cut losses or can’t hold onto profits—that’s human nature, not your fault. But to survive in this market, you must learn to go against human nature.

Stop loss is just a cost, like paying rent for a store. Don’t see it as failure. When the price hits your level, cut it cleanly and decisively—no hesitation.

What if you can’t hold onto profitable trades? Once you have profits, set a breakeven stop loss immediately or move your stop loss. At least ensure this trade doesn’t lose money, and leave the rest to the market.

One last old saying: preserving your principal is the only top priority in trading. Everything else is nonsense.

Let’s motivate each other.
