Seven years ago, I entered the crypto space with just 30k yuan. To put it bluntly, it was a gamble to see if I could turn my life around. At that time, my mindset was simple: as long as I caught one wave, it seemed like my life could be rewritten.
Now that I've reached eight figures, I've become more conservative instead. It's not that I lack courage; the longer I do this, the more I understand that this market is not about who makes money faster, but who can survive longer.
To sum it up, there are three points—very basic, but many people can't stick to them.
First is position sizing. I never go heavy. I usually test with small proportions and enter and exit in batches. Because after doing this for a long time, I know that making money once is not important; if you get wiped out once, the game is over. So I care more about risk control.
Stop loss is also a hard rule. Set it in advance, and when it hits, you leave—no holding, no dragging. Many people don't get it wrong because they misjudge; they die because they refuse to admit they're wrong.
Second is only trading with the trend. No bottom fishing, no betting on bounces. Because the easiest trap in crypto is "it looks cheap," but before the trend changes, it will only get cheaper.
I only wait for the trend to emerge, then enter after a pullback confirmation. This way, it's not exciting, but it's more stable.
Third is keeping the system minimal. I only look at the moving average structure and RSI, and I don't let information distract me. If the structure is intact, I trade; if it breaks, I leave.
I only add to positions that are already profitable. I never add to losing positions, because adding to a loss is essentially magnifying a mistake.
To put it simply, there is no holy grail in this market. Whether you can stay in the game doesn't depend on how much you make, but on whether you get eliminated by the market.
So it's just one sentence: trade with the trend, control risk, and wait for opportunities. When the trend is there, follow it; when it's gone, retreat.
The ones who survive long in the crypto space are never the most aggressive, but the steadiest. $BTC
