#美国非农就业数据未达市场预期 Everyone, I need to clarify first—I am not a top influencer in the industry, nor do I have those flashy titles. Honestly, I am just an ordinary trader who has fallen several times in the crypto world, had positions blown up, and stepped into pits.
Some may ask, what’s this little profit compared to real big shots? Indeed, it might not mean much in their eyes. But what I want to say is, being able to pull yourself out of losses and gradually move forward is valuable in itself. $CLO Up to today, I understand more than anyone the importance of capital.
Last year, a fan came to me with 1200U, saying he had lost money before and wanted to turn things around. I didn’t teach him any complex theories like moving averages or MACD indicators; I just gave him three ironclad rules learned from real trading experience. Three months later, his account surged to 38,000U, and he never once blew up his position during the process. If you truly understand these three "life-saving rules," beating most retail traders isn’t a dream. As for how much you can learn, it still depends on whether you have respect for the market.
**Rule 1: Manage your capital separately**
Don’t use all your bullets at once. I split the 1200U into three parts, 400U each, operating independently without intermingling—that’s the bottom line.
The first part is for short-term trades, with a maximum of two positions per day. Once done, close the software and don’t watch the market; don’t keep staring at the screen. The second part is for waiting, if the weekly chart doesn’t show a bullish pattern or if the market hasn’t broken key levels with volume, keep this money sleeping. The third part is insurance—reserve it for when the market suddenly spikes and risks blowing up your position, so you can add a final blow and protect your capital.
**Rule 2: Only follow the trend**
Identify three entry signals and pass on everything else. If the daily moving averages aren’t in a bullish state, even tempting opportunities should be avoided; if you must enter, only do so when the market breaks previous highs with volume and the daily close is stable. Only then can you try a small position. Once profits reach 30% of your capital, take half of the profit off the table, and set a trailing stop at 10% of the remaining position—don’t be greedy.
**Rule 3: Lock in your emotions**
This is the most critical rule. Before entering a trade, write down your plan. Set your stop-loss at 3%. When the time comes, close mechanically—don’t hesitate. When profits reach 10%, immediately move your stop-loss to your cost basis. That way, you’re in an invincible position.
Also, discipline is key. Shut down your computer and all trading apps promptly at midnight. If you can’t sleep, uninstall the app—don’t let a slip of the finger ruin months of gains. I’ve seen too many people lose months of profits just because of a single operation at 3 a.m.
Markets are always playing out, opportunities are always there. But once your capital is gone, even the best opportunities are meaningless to you. Focus on mastering these three rules first, then study wave theories and indicator combinations. Hard work pays off, and trading is no different.

I think this guy's three iron laws are spot on, especially the one about breakups. I used to pile all my money together, and then a dip wiped it all out.

Non-farm data, right? It crashed again? What’s going on, bro? Still trying to rely on macro data to guide trading? Wake up.
---
The most heartbreaking thing is "Once the principal is gone, even the best opportunities don't matter to you." That's why I now prefer to lie flat rather than open random positions.
---
I’ve tried uninstalling the app in the middle of the night, but I ended up reinstalling it the next day haha. Who hasn’t gone through this?
---
But honestly, turning $1200 into $38,000 is a solid return, and the key is I haven't been liquidated. That alone proves the methodology is reliable.
---
Why do I feel like this guy is finally blaming the non-farm data? Haha.
---
A 3% stop loss—this is the most straightforward advice I’ve learned. All those MACD combos and such are really just ways to lose money.
---
Turning off the computer at midnight every night—I can't do that. Traders with irregular sleep schedules, I feel your pain.

It's easy to say, but how many actually turn off their computers at 12? It's easier said than done.

A slip-up at 3 a.m. can really ruin everything—this guy's words are so true.

To be honest, the non-farm payroll data was disappointing, but this guy's explanation is indeed on point, especially that emotion lock. I almost wiped out my account earlier because I slipped up in the middle of the night.

Listen, I don't care whether the non-farm payroll data is bad or not; the key is not to use it as an excuse to make reckless moves in the middle of the night.
