As an analyst who has been immersed in the cryptocurrency market for 7 years, I've seen too many people chasing highs and lows with a few thousand in capital, only to end up with barely anything left; on the other hand, those who seem 'clumsy' in their execution, through extreme discipline, have achieved astonishing leaps with a small amount of funds — just like that fan last month who came to me with an initial 800 units, following the rhythm throughout, and now their account has surpassed 31000, multiplying nearly 40 times!
Many people think that making money in the cryptocurrency market relies on being 'fast and accurate', but the truth is the opposite: slow is fast, and stability is profit. Today, I'm going to break down this 'clumsy method' that has been validated in practice. If you understand and follow it, you can avoid 90% of the pitfalls:
1. Position rules: Surviving is more important than making money.
I have always emphasized that 'the position of a single variety should not exceed 15% of total capital; in extreme market conditions, cut it in half directly.' This fan initially wanted to bet all 800 on a popular variety, but I forcibly stopped them — the crypto market is highly volatile, and even the most promising assets may suddenly correct. The result of betting heavily is either good luck in making a profit or a complete exit. Our operational logic is 'diversified layout + light position trial and error,' using only 10%-15% of funds each time to enter. Even if the judgment is wrong, after cutting losses, there is still enough principal to start over, which is the premise for long-term profitability.
2. Take profit without greed: Securing gains is the real profit.
Most people's losses are due to 'greed': earning 10% and wanting 20%, earning 20% and wanting to double, ultimately turning profits into losses. Our profit-taking strategy is 'stepped realization': after a 30% profit, first withdraw 20% of the principal to a safe account, and the rest use 'trailing stop loss' to cushion, for example, if it corrects by 10%, it will automatically exit; when profits reach 100%, directly halve the position and lock in profits. That fan strictly follows this set of rules, decisively cashing out whenever reaching the target, never lingering in battle, but instead becoming more stable with increasing profits.
3. Rules above all: Reject 'feeling-based' operations.
What frustrates the market the most is not a crash but a long, slow market. After half a month of consolidation, suddenly a small bullish line appears, and many can't help but chase in, resulting in being trapped at a high point. I repeatedly emphasize the 'three no-principles' to my fans: do not temporarily change strategies, do not add positions based on feelings, and never average down without stop loss. All operations should have predetermined entry points, stop loss points, and profit-taking points, written in the memo. When the time comes, execute it, even if the market seems 'about to rise,' there are absolutely no exceptions. Discipline is the moat of the crypto market, more effective than any technical analysis.
In fact, the crypto market has never been a casino, but rather a 'trial ground for human nature.' Those who make big money are not necessarily smarter than others, but they are better at controlling their desires — not rushing to double their investments, not betting on a single asset, and not panicking to cut losses. Slow markets filter out the impatient, leaving behind those who are patient and disciplined executors.
