Thirty years on the east bank of the river, thirty years on the west bank. Who would have thought that the person who once held 5,000 yuan in principal and chewed on steamed buns while staring at K-line charts could, relying on a trading system that many mocked, survive in the crypto world for a full 12 years and finally accumulate enough to relax and enjoy life.

Honestly, I don’t have any special talent, insider information, or rely on luck to win big in a single bet. The only weapon I have is sticking to a simple, efficient trading logic.

I’ve organized my insights into a straightforward, easy-to-use guide that both beginners and veterans can refer to:

**First Trick: Money Management, the Foundation of Survival**

Never go all-in. Divide your principal into 5 parts, only move one part at a time. Limit single-loss to no more than 10%, and keep your total risk exposure within 2%. Calculate this: even if you lose five times in a row, you only lose 10%. As long as you catch one decent market move, your gains will cover all losses. Stability is the starting point of compound interest.

**Second Trick: Follow the Trend, Never Fight It**

When the market is crashing down, don’t rush to buy the dip; it’s probably a trap. When the market is rising, don’t rush to sell everything; it might be the golden opportunity. Patience is the real skill of a trend trader.

**Third Trick: Stay Away from Outrageous Pump Coins**

Rapid increases don’t equal opportunities; more often than not, they’re traps. Whether it’s mainstream coins or altcoins, when prices are skyrocketing, the chances of getting caught holding the bag are much higher than making money. Controlling impulsive greed is already a win.

**Fourth Trick: Indicators are Tools, Not Saviors**

MACD is pretty good: when DIF and DEA form a golden cross below the zero line and break through, it’s usually a buy signal; when they form a death cross above the zero line, it’s time to start reducing your position. Replenishing positions should follow logic—don’t add to losing positions, but can add to profitable ones. This helps avoid emotional trading.

**Fifth Trick: Volume is the Market’s Pulse**

A volume breakout at a low point often signals the start of a trend. When analyzing trends, look at the 3-day, 30-day, 84-day, and 120-day moving averages—are they turning upward? That’s the key. Don’t follow the herd or indulge in fantasies; only trade coins with established trends.

**Sixth Trick: Review Your Trades, That’s the Secret of Masters**

Review every trade: Why did you buy that way? Why did you make mistakes? Has the weekly K-line trend changed during this period? Experts don’t rely on predictions; they grow through continuous review and learning.

This method may seem unremarkable, but very few people can stick to it consistently. The market ultimately rewards those who are disciplined, able to stay calm amid volatility, and maintain rhythm amid noise.

I was once someone fumbling in the dark, but now I hold a light in my hand that’s always shining. Are you willing to follow?
