Seven years ago, when I first entered the crypto space, I had only about 30,000 yuan. To be honest, I came here to gamble on fate.


Back then, I didn't think too much. There was only one sentence in my eyes: Go all out this one time—whether I can turn my life around depends on this shot.
But now, after reaching eight figures, I've become more "cautious" instead.
It's not that I lack guts; it's that I've seen too much.
The truest thing about this market is this: many people make fast money, but few stick around.
After slowly summing it up, there's really nothing profound—just three things, but many people just can't do them.
First, keep your position size light; don't get carried away.
Now, I basically never enter with heavy positions. I just test with small positions and scale in gradually.
Because once you've been at it long enough, you'll find that whether a single trade makes money doesn't matter—what matters is whether you can survive to the next trade.
The cruelest thing in the crypto space isn't losing money; it's getting knocked out of the game in one shot.
So what I care about most isn't profit, but whether I've calculated the risk first.
I never delay stop-losses. Once I set them, I execute. When the price hits, I leave. I don't get emotional with the market.
Many people don't fail because they get the direction wrong—they die from "wait and see a little longer."
Second, only trade with the trend.
I don't catch bottoms, and I don't guess bottoms.
To put it bluntly, cheap doesn't equal safe. In fact, many positions that "look cheap" are the most dangerous traps.
Before the trend changes, the market only becomes more extreme.
I only do one thing: wait for the trend to emerge, then trade the pullback confirmation after that.
Not thrilling, but very steady.
Third, keep your system as simple as possible.
What I look at now is very minimal—just moving average structure + RSI.
That's enough.
Too much market information actually confuses people easily.
If the structure is intact, I trade; if the structure breaks, I exit.
I only add to winning positions, never to losing ones.
Because adding to a losing position isn't optimization—it's amplifying mistakes.
In the end, there is no holy grail in crypto, and no surefire way to make money.
Whether you survive never depends on how much you make in a single wave, but on whether you get wiped out by the market in one go.
Finally, just one sentence:
Follow the trend, control risk, and wait for opportunities.
When the market moves, ride it for a while; when the market turns wrong, rest.
In this market, the one who goes the farthest is never the one who charges the hardest, but the one who can steady themselves.
