The Survival Rules for Retail Investors in the Cryptocurrency Market
1. Develop a Stable and Conservative Trading Strategy
Focus on compound interest through buy low, sell high operations. Spend 20% of your time trading, and the remaining 80% waiting for entry opportunities. Avoid bottom fishing and top-tapping; only enter near the secondary top or bottom, and exit upon breakouts. (Staying alive is the most important)
2. Understand the Underlying Logic of the Game
Follow the main capital: track the main players through the top gainers list and block trades. Use multiple small positions to avoid being trapped. Never exceed 30% of your total holdings. (The market is not lacking opportunities; staying alive is the most important)
3. Accept Market Uncertainty
Strictly control the risk-reward ratio (e.g., when a trade reaches profit targets, reduce position to protect capital: do not let losses exceed 30% of the margin and exit). Do not be manipulated by emotions; wait patiently for opportunities. (The market is not lacking opportunities; staying alive is the most important)
