8 Principles

1

Admit Weakness

In crypto market, retail traders are the weakest. Admit it — this is your first stop-loss.

2

Stop-Loss is Faith

Not cutting losses is not bravery — it's ignorance. Stop-loss is not a strategy option, it's a survival faith.

3

Cognitive Reconstruction

Everything can be folded — your worldview, values, trading system can all be dismantled and rebuilt.

4

Quality Over Strategy

A trader with quality can survive without methodology. A trader without quality dies faster with more methodologies.

5

Probability Thinking

No 100% certainty in markets. Only probability. Replace certainty-seeking with rule-following.

6

System Discipline

Your system is your law. Follow it regardless of emotions. No exceptions — that's what makes it a system.

7

Independent Execution

No one can walk this path with you forever. You are alone. Accept it — and you'll find freedom.

8

Daily Review

Every loss is a teacher if you read the signal. Review daily: what happened, why, and what to change.

Common Questions

Which method should I learn first? +
Start with Turtle Trading Method — it's the most complete, most tested system in history. Then learn position sizing and stop-loss. Don't learn 10 methods at once — master one first.
Can Chan Theory work in crypto? +
Yes, with adaptation. Crypto volatility is 3-5x of stocks, so timeframes should be 4H/daily instead of 30min/1H. Chan Theory's pivot and trend concepts apply universally, but parameters need adjustment for crypto's 24/7 nature.
How to set stop-loss properly? +
Three methods: (1) ATR-based: stop = entry price - 2×ATR, adjusts for volatility (2) Fixed percentage: 5-8% below entry (3) Time-based: if position doesn't move in 3 months, review and decide. Always set stop BEFORE entering trade.
What is position sizing? +
Position sizing determines how much to bet per trade based on your risk tolerance. Formula: position size = (max loss per trade) / (stop-loss distance). Example: if you can accept losing 5000 MXN and stop is 5%, position = 100,000 MXN. Risk ≤ 2% of total capital per trade.
Do I need multiple indicators? +
No. 2-3 indicators maximum. Trend indicator (MA/EMA) + oscillator (RSI/MACD) + volume (OBV). More indicators = more noise = worse decisions. Quality of analysis > quantity of indicators.
