They say, “In crypto trading, nine out of ten lose.” The one who doesn’t is either playing dead or lining up at the ICU.


I used to be one of those who “wouldn’t listen,” a so-called chosen one. Looking back now, it’s all a joke.
In the day, I sneak glances at the K-line charts; at night, I stay up drawing trend lines.
When it pumps, I think I’m a genius; when it dumps, I doubt myself, and even doubt the world.
Make a few loose coins and treat it like a treasure, and I refuse to leave no matter what.
But when I lose, I get stubborn—in the name of “value investing.”
So what happened in the end? No profits, but I lost a lot of hair. Even my underwear is almost gone.
Later, I finally understood one thing:
In this market, the ones who can survive for long are never real technical gods—it's ordinary people who can treat trading like a “job” and do it that way.
Don’t worship yourself, don’t blindly trust indicators—just follow the rules.
Let me tell you my current set of down-to-earth methods. It may not fit everyone, but at least these past few years I haven’t exploded my account:
1️⃣ Time selection: only trade after 9 PM
Daytime is a zoo—messages, callouts, FOMO emotions all mixed together, pure noise.
At night the market quiets down, and the moves look like a normal person’s steps, not a pack of rabid dogs running wild.
2️⃣ Money management: take profits and withdraw immediately
When the account hits 1000 dollars, I transfer out 300 first.
Don’t talk to me about compounding miracles—numbers inside the account are fake.
Only what you withdraw into the bank account becomes the money your wife can actually spend.
3️⃣ Indicator minimalism: three-piece set is enough
MACD, RSI, and Bollinger Bands—I only watch these three.
I won’t act unless at least two of them give me the nod at the same time.
Don’t understand them? Then hold cash and wait.
4️⃣ Stop-loss discipline: 3% is the iron rule, no hesitation
If I’m wrong, I admit it—cut it directly at 3%, no averaging down, no fantasies, no haggling.
For winning trades, I move the stop-loss up, letting the profit run on its own.
5️⃣ Trade frequency control: at most two trades per day
When I finish, I power off. Even if it’s still lively outside, I don’t open a third trade.
You come here to make money, not to show off presence.
One last hard truth to send everyone:
Once you start feeling anxious, impatient, always thinking about flipping it all in one trade, you’re no longer a trader—you’re a gambler.
Gambler outcomes are never good—that’s the iron law.
Keep your rules, and live a little longer
