In my early days, I started with a principal of 50,000 and gradually grew it to 302,000 in the first two years, stabilized at 590,000 in the third year, and by the fourth year, I was completely carried away — in August, my account reached 3.78 million, and by November, it exceeded 7 million.

Back then, I was impulsive, quit my stable job, borrowed money to leverage, and thought “luck will always be on my side.” As a result, when the financial crisis hit, I not only lost all my profits but also took on debt. I had to sell my house to pay off debts, and my family almost fell apart. It was only during the lows that I woke up: all I had earned before was luck, not skill.
In the following three years, I stopped making reckless trades, reviewed and summarized day and night, and finally turned things around with a practical trading logic. These 6 core principles can avoid 80% of the pitfalls:
1. Don’t be a “coin collector.” I used to hold a dozen niche coins, most of which went to zero. Later, I learned that just 3 core strategies are enough: hold BTC for long-term to avoid missing out, trade ETH with moderate volatility for swings, and pick one strong sector leader (like AI, RWA). It’s much more reliable than random buying.
2. Stop when emotions run high. Once, during a surge of liquidations across the internet, I didn’t stop and lost 200,000 in a day. Now I set strict rules: if liquidation numbers are high, or three consecutive big green candles hit the hot search, or amateurs follow the trend and buy, I stop and cool down for two hours. It saves a lot of losses.
3. Position size is a life line. In the early days, I went all-in and had no funds left to add during a sharp drop. Now I have fixed positions: 50% USDT for emergencies, 30% quality coins for long-term holdings, and 20% for short-term quick trades. Keeping capital intact is the key to turning things around.
4. Take profits and cut losses without illusions. I used to add to positions after a 10% drop, which led to despair. Now I follow strict rules: take half profit after a 10% rise, close completely after 20% gain to secure profits; wait for a 5% dip to re-enter if the logic is solid, and cut losses at 10% without hesitation.
5. Master the basics in a week. When I first entered the market, I bought blindly and lost badly. Later, I summarized three steps: look at daily candles + MA10/MA30 to find support and resistance; fake breakouts happen when volume increases but price doesn’t rise; don’t chase after late gains in sectors, understand the market in a week.
6. Build positions like fighting a battle—step by step. I used to go all-in with 3,000 yuan, panicking at the first dip. Now I start with 900 yuan as a base, add 900 on support dips, add 600 on resistance breakthroughs, and keep 600 for sudden drops. It’s about rhythm, not speed.
Crypto is never about luck; discipline is the key to long-term success.
