TK Trading Rules
1. Cherish your chips, never lose everything, and stay at the table to win. This market is not about luck; it's your persistence, experience, accumulation, determination, and logic that make you profitable.
2. Learn to review and summarize. Always reflect and summarize daily, preferably in written form.
3. Shitcoins are a financial game. Political perspective > monetary perspective ≈ cultural perspective > pure construction perspective. Projects tied to election narratives (e.g., Pnut) > Sotheby's Ban ≈ traditional cultural cult > ordinary project token issuance (project funds > project strength) / pure meme.
4. When you can't resist showing off your gains, it's time to take profits.
5. Maintain emotional stability in your holdings. Avoid self-induced FOMO. For non-top-tier narratives, exit profits anytime. Non-top-tier narratives don't require long-term vision; profit is enough.
6. If you didn't get into the leading token early, don't chase the second-tier token. Wait for the second phase of the leading token. Trust that the strong will remain strong!
7. When encountering a hot trend, rush in immediately without fear of chasing highs. When facing a certain opportunity, judge the peak based on market sentiment, not price (e.g., Trump).
8. Always withdraw your principal after doubling. This market is not about who earns the most but who survives the longest.
9. Use dynamic thinking to analyze narratives. Narrative development often goes in the opposite direction of static logic due to external forces.
10. Only join during an uptrend; don't bottom-fish during a downtrend. There are 18 levels of hell below the bottom.
11. Memes are essentially a game of attention. Think about who will notice a token and who will buy it.
12. Opportunities are endless, and the next one is always better. If you miss or mishandle one, preserve your principal and wait for the next chance.
13. Build your own trading logic. Invest heavily in opportunities that align with your logic. Don't envy money made outside your logic.
14. The obstacles to making money are not market conditions but your own greed, fear, impatience, and hesitation. Missing out, turning profits into losses, and selling too early all stem from poor emotional management.
15. Avoid trash projects and distractions. Focus your limited energy on the most valuable ones.
16. Prejudices are like mountains in the heart. Always remain unbiased and approach new things and narratives with an open mind. For unfamiliar narratives, start with a small position. After entering, research with a different mindset. Even if the outcome isn't significant, you won't completely miss out or damage your mindset.
17. Small narratives should be exited within the day. 3-5M is typically the peak for small narratives. Most shitcoin small narratives don't exceed 1M. For major narratives, 200-300M is a peak; beyond that, it depends on emotional fermentation.
18. Avoid sudden spikes in old projects with small pools, as early investors have already positioned themselves. Entering now only provides them with exit liquidity.
19. Preserving principal is the primary principle. Let profits run to have a chance at big gains.
20. In long-term trading, avoid excessive FOMO-driven additions above your cost line. Reverse bottom-fishing can infinitely raise costs.
21. When a token's market cap/LP and trading volume are severely imbalanced, with a very low market cap but high trading volume, the best strategy is to add some LP to earn fees.
22. The primary market is a place for small bets with big returns. Never aim for big returns with large bets, and avoid large bets for small returns.
23. Quantify every trade strictly: e.g., withdraw 50% of principal at 1.5x, sell 10% for every subsequent 1.5x increase, and prohibit replenishing positions. This is similar to the "cap strategy," where investing 100k to buy 1000u and reaching 100M can yield 130k in excess returns while significantly reducing risk (the reason for withdrawing 50% at 1.5x is that many opportunities may not reach 2x, but top-tier opportunities like Trump can consider not withdrawing principal).
24. Before heavily investing in any token, consider whether you can bear the risk if it goes to zero.
25. For small bets with big returns, don't set stop-losses. For large bets with big returns, always set stop-losses.
26. Many top earners are KOL (Key Opinion Leader) alt accounts. Follow these alt accounts to buy, and let KOL main accounts provide exit liquidity.
27. Avoid replenishing positions if trapped. Adding to positions to average costs often backfires in short-term speculation.
28. After a major loss, immediately summarize, preferably in written form, to give yourself time to calm down. Avoid rushing to recover losses, as impulsive actions can lead to further mistakes. This situation can also occur when refusing to exit after losses and blindly adding positions to bet on rebounds.
29. Prohibit adding positions or replenishing at high levels.
These rules: Red indicates the highest priority, blue indicates secondary priority.
Final note: The most important thing is persistence, reviewing, researching, and continuous learning. Spending 12+ hours daily on persistence, chain scanning, and thinking will eventually bring the desired results. If you can't endure this hardship, don't pursue this field. Remember, we are the most talented traders. We will succeed. We will achieve our big results. Let's encourage each other.

A summary from a fellow trader, very insightful, worth reading.
《TK Trading Rules, A Beginner's Review》
1. Cherish your chips, never lose them all, and stay at the table to win. This market is not about luck; it's your patience, experience, accumulation, persistence, and logic that make you profitable.
2. Learn to review and summarize, always reflect, and make it a habit to summarize daily, preferably in writing.
3. Shitcoins are a financial game, with political perspective > monetary perspective ≈ cultural perspective > pure construction perspective. Join the election narrative Pnut > Sotheby's Ban ≈ traditional cultural cult > ordinary project token issuance (project funds > project strength) / pure meme.
4. When you can't resist showing off your gains, it's time to take profits.
5. Keep your holdings stable, don't FOMO yourself. For non-top-tier narratives, retreat profits at any time. Non-top-tier narratives don't require a grand vision; profit is enough.
6. If you didn't get in on the leader first, don't go for the second leader. Wait for the second wave of the leader, and believe in the strong getting stronger!
7. When encountering a hot market, rush in immediately without fear of chasing high. When encountering a certain opportunity, use market sentiment to judge the top, not the price. (e.g., Trump)
8. Always take out your principal when doubling. This market is not about who earns more but who survives longer.
9. View narratives with dynamic thinking. The development of narratives often goes in the opposite direction of static thinking logic due to external forces.
10. Only join in an uptrend, don't bottom fish in a downtrend; there are eighteen levels of hell below the bottom.
11. Memes are essentially a game of attention. Think about who will see a coin and who will buy it.
12. Opportunities are always there, and the next one is better. If you miss or mishandle one, protect your principal and wait for the next opportunity.
13. Establish your own trading logic. Bet heavily on your own opportunities and don't envy money outside your logic.
14. What hinders you from making money is not the market trend but your own greed, fear, impatience, and hesitation. Missing out, turning profit into loss, and selling too early are all due to poor emotional management.
15. Don't touch trash, don't scatter your focus. Allocate your limited energy to the most valuable one.
16. Prejudice in people's hearts is a mountain. Never be biased, approach new things and narratives with an open mind. For narratives you don't understand, start with a small position. The mindset after getting in is completely different. Even if you don't achieve great results, you won't completely miss out and ruin your mindset.
17. Small narratives must be run within the day. 3-5M is basically the top for small narratives. Most shitcoin small narratives can't even reach 1M. For big narratives, 200-300 million is a top, and beyond that, it depends on emotional fermentation.
18. Don't get into old pools with small liquidity that suddenly surge, because those who were already in have preemptively entered, and going in now just provides them with exit liquidity.
19. Preserving your principal is the primary principle. Letting profits run gives you a chance to catch the big gold dog.
20. In long-term trading, don't let your cost line be exceeded by FOMO adding too much. Reverse bottom fishing will infinitely raise costs.
21. When a token's market cap/LP and trading volume are severely imbalanced, with a very low market cap and very high trading volume, the best strategy is to add some LP to earn fees.
22. The primary market is a market of small bets for big returns. Never think of making big bets for big returns, and even less for small returns.
23. Quantify every trade: for example, take out 50% of the principal at 1.5x, and sell 10% for every subsequent 1.5x increase. Prohibit replenishing positions, similar to the cap strategy. Buying 1000u at 100k to 100M can also yield 130k in excess returns, greatly reducing risk (the reason for taking out 50% of the principal at 1.5x is that it often doesn't reach 2x, but for top opportunities like Trump, consider not taking out the principal).
24. Before buying any coin heavily, think about whether you can bear the risk if it goes to zero.
25. Don't stop loss on small bets for big returns, but must set stop loss for big bets for big returns.
26. Many top earners are KOL small accounts. You need to follow these small accounts to buy, and let KOL big accounts help you exit liquidity.
27. Don't replenish positions. If trapped, avoid averaging down, as it often backfires in short-term speculation.
28. After a big loss, immediately summarize, preferably writing it down word by word, to give yourself time to calm down. Don't rush to recover losses, as it's easy to get carried away and make impulsive decisions. This can also happen when you don't want to leave after a loss and blindly add positions to bet on a rebound.
29. Prohibit adding positions at high levels.
30. Meme is a track for small bets for big returns. Don't bottom fish (there will always be newer, better, and more exciting narratives for everyone to FOMO) and only catch the first wave.
In conclusion, the most important thing is to persist in patience, review, research, and continuous learning. Sitting for 12+ hours a day, scanning chains, and thinking will eventually bring you the results you want. If you can't endure this hardship, don't do this job.
Remember, we are the most talented traders, and we will succeed. We will all achieve our great results. Let's encourage each other.
