Six years of trading cryptocurrencies, and my biggest regret isn't losing money, but making millions and not selling.


During the 2020 bull market, I heavily invested in ADA at $0.028.
In three months, it rose from $0.028 to $1.26, a full 45x increase.
My account balance skyrocketed, I even wore out my mortgage calculator.
Then I did the stupidest thing—
I didn't sell a single coin.
I kept thinking it could go higher.
Later, the market taught me a lesson.
ADA dropped from $1.26 back to $0.18,
80% of the profit evaporated.
That moment, I finally understood a saying:
The one who knows when to buy is a disciple; the one who knows when to sell is a master.
After that, I set three ironclad rules for myself.
First: Ladder Take Profit
Suppose I enter at 1.1:
Sell 30% when it reaches 2.1 to break even.
Sell another 30% at 3.2 to lock in profits.
The remaining 40% uses a trailing stop—auto-sell if it drops 15%.
I don’t aim to sell at the absolute top, just ride the main upward wave.
Second: Hard Stop-Loss
This is the life-saving line.
If I build a position with 10,000 USDT,
I must cut losses at 4.8%.
Set conditional orders in advance—
When the market crashes, discipline is more important than judgment.
Third: Accept Missing the Final Peak
Many people lose money because of one obsession:
They must sell at the highest point.
As a result, they don’t sell when it rises, and don’t cut when it falls.
Now I only do one thing:
I give others the head and tail of the fish, I only eat the middle part.
This year, my account has achieved a steady return of 36.8%.
Final honest words:
In the crypto world, those who last the longest are not the smartest,
but the ones who understand when to stop best.
Profits that don’t go into your wallet are always just numbers. #震荡行情交易策略
