In my early years, I started with 50k yuan in capital, gradually growing to 302k in the first two years, stabilizing at 590k in the third year, and completely flying high in the fourth year — reaching 3.78 million in August, and surpassing 7 million directly in November.
Back then, I was impulsive, quit my stable job, borrowed money to leverage, always thinking "luck will keep favoring me." As a result, when the financial crisis hit, I not only lost all my profits but also accumulated debt, eventually having to sell my house to pay it off, and my family almost fell apart.
It was only at the low point that I woke up: all the money I made before was just luck, not skill.
After that, I didn’t make reckless trades for three years, spent days and nights reviewing and summarizing, and finally turned things around with a set of practical trading logic.
These 6 core principles can avoid 80% of the pitfalls:
1. Don’t be a “coin collector.” Previously, I held dozens of niche coins, most of which went to zero. Later, I learned that just 3 core principles are enough: BTC for long-term holding to avoid missing out, ETH for moderate volatility trading, and one strong sector leader (like AI, RWA). It’s much more reliable than random buying.
2. Stop when your emotions take over. Once, during a surge of liquidations across the internet, I didn’t stop, losing 200k yuan in a day. Now I set strict rules: when liquidation numbers are high, or three consecutive big bullish candles hit the hot search, or amateurs follow the trend and buy, I stop and cool down for two hours — avoiding many losses.
3. Position size is a life line. In the early days, I went all-in, and during a crash, I had no funds left to add. 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 is the only way to turn things around.
4. Take profits and cut losses without illusions. Previously, I added more when prices dropped 10%, only to get stuck in despair. Now I have strict rules: sell half when up 10% to lock in profits, close completely at 20% profit to switch to stable assets; if it drops 5%, wait for logical stabilization before re-entering; if it drops 10%, close immediately and reflect — no holding through losses.
5. Master the basics within a week. When I first entered the market, I bought blindly and lost badly. Later, I summarized three steps: look at daily candlesticks + MA10/MA30 to find support and resistance; volume increase without price rise is a false breakout; don’t chase after late surges in sectors, learn the market within a week.
6. Building a position is like fighting a battle — do it in batches. Previously, I went all-in with 3,000 yuan, panicking at the first dip. Now I start with 900 yuan as a base, add another 900 on support dips, add 600 on resistance breakthroughs, and keep 600 yuan ready for sudden dips — focus on rhythm, not speed.
Crypto is never about gambling luck; only by maintaining discipline can you go far.
