#数字货币市场洞察 Last year, a friend of mine traded with me using 3,000U, and the first trade smoothly doubled to 6,000U. In the early hours of that day, he excitedly said, "Making money is this easy?" I just replied, "The real test is only just beginning."



The next day, he was swept up by a "tip-off" and went all in with heavy leverage. Within ten minutes, his account shrank to 3,300U. In a panic, he asked me what to do. My advice was simple: calm down first.

Over the next three months, he explored step by step, moving from blindly following the crowd to building his own trading system. In the end, his account grew from 3,300U to 90,000U, step by step. What he learned in this process wasn't some advanced technical indicator, but a simple truth: being able to restrain your impulses when making money, and staying rational when losing money—this is the key to surviving in the crypto world.

**The Half Hour After Profiting Is When It's Easiest to Slip Up**

Many people stumble by getting carried away the moment they make money. As soon as their account shows a profit, their vigilance collapses, and they throw their original plan out the window. Truly reliable traders are different: when they make money, they actively pull back, take some profits off the table, and don't let emotions hijack their decisions.

**A System Beats Intuition, Discipline Beats Guesswork**

My approach is actually simple:

Each position is capped at 15% of total funds, and stop-losses are strictly set at 2%. Once profits reach 5%, I immediately take out half of the gains; the number of trades per week is fixed, and no matter how the market fluctuates, I don't increase the number of trades.

This logic may sound rigid, but it's this rigidity that saves you from the vicious cycle of big wins followed by big losses. Opportunities come every year; only those who survive until the next opportunity deserve to wait for the wind to turn.

If you've also experienced the despair of winning and then losing it all, maybe it's time to pause and think: is the market really that ruthless, or are you being controlled by your emotions? For the true experts, buying at the lowest point isn't actually that important; what's important is not wavering between greed and fear.

For the past three years, I've only believed in this approach—discipline is the real foundation.

That all-in move my friend made was really something—gone in just ten minutes. Honestly, the crypto world is just a psychological game. The moment you make money is when you're most likely to slip up.

That's right, it's just so easy to get carried away. A couple of days ago my friend made some profits and went all in, ended up getting liquidated instantly. Now he's too scared to even look at his account. Going all in is really the number one killer in crypto, no exceptions. This set of rules feels really solid, way more reliable than my random guessing. The moment you make money, your mind just goes blank—every time it's like this and ends in disaster. "Only those who survive until the next opportunity deserve to wait for the wind to rise." This line is savage, it really hits home. System > intuition, I need to remember this. Honestly, what happened to that friend afterwards? Did he really go from 3,300 to 90,000? Sticking to a 2% stop loss is actually pretty hard, I always hope for a rebound. I think the real issue is still mentality, technical indicators are all just an illusion.

Really, my mind just went blank the moment I went all-in. I've made the same mistake before.

Damn, that friend is me. I still remember going all in that time. --- Making money is easy, losing money is hard—it all comes down to mindset breaking down. --- 15%, 2%, 5%—it sounds rigid, but damn, it really works. That’s exactly what I’m doing now. --- "Whether you buy at the lowest point isn’t that important." That really hits home. I used to always bet on catching the bottom. --- Turning 3,300 into 90,000 in three months? Bro, you’ve got to share that system. --- Still the same—surviving is more important than making money. In crypto, the real winners are those who make it to next year.
