Shorting high, longing low? This approach in crypto is basically "actively throwing money back into the market."



I've seen too many people lose — not because they can't read the direction, but because they love catching tops and bottoms. In short, the market loves to harvest the kind of people who think they can grab the extremes.

I was the same in my early days. I lost 8 million in the first three years — messy positions, messy rhythm, and even messier mindset. It took me a while to break down trading into a set of rigid rules, not relying on feelings.

Now I just follow one logic, very simple, very rigid:

First, follow the trend. Go long only when above the moving average, go short only when below — no predictions.

Second, test position. Enter with a small position first. If wrong, it's just a probe. Only add when it works.

Third, stop loss. Exit immediately when support/resistance breaks — no holding, no averaging down.

Fourth, add to position. Only add to floating-profit positions, never to losing ones.

Fifth, trailing stop. Once profit moves in your favor, raise the protection. New positions calculate risk separately.

Sixth, take profit. Don't chase the exact low or high. Exit in batches or wait until the trend turns.

In short: eight words — follow the trend, small losses, big wins. #以太坊突破1700美元涨7.98%

The hardest part of trading isn't the technique; it's restraint. Only those who can control their hands have a chance to survive longer.

Those who get it will gradually fall into the same rhythm.

The eight characters "follow the trend, small losses, big profits" look simple, but very few people can achieve it. I died last year trying to buy the bottom and sell the top, and now looking back, it's all tears.

Rules are easy to write, but executing them is all about human nature, especially the trailing stop rule. How many times have I wanted to hold a bit longer only to see profits vanish.
