I have seen too many crypto newcomers starting with a few thousand in capital, fixated on the myth of 'earning 20% daily', only to leave with losses in less than two weeks. However, one pure novice I guided last year started with 1.2k in assets and turned it into 2.5w in 4 months, now maintaining a stable account of 3.8w+, without hitting a liquidation trigger even once throughout the process.
This is not about luck; it is about my core strategy from early 8k trial and error to now stable profits - the crypto market has never been about 'who earns faster', but 'who survives longer'. Today, I will share my ultimate strategy with you, helping you understand and avoid two years of detours.
One, three-stage funding pools: put a "bulletproof vest" on your capital.
The most fatal mistake for beginners is to put all the money into the same track. The first thing I had that novice do was to split 1.2k into three 400 funding pools:
Short-term pool (400): Only engage in "daily settlement" trading, locking in one core target each day. Set the target price and monitor it; immediately take profits when it reaches the target, even if there are further market movements. Short-term trading seeks "stability", not "quantity"; earning 3%-5% daily is sufficient.
Trend pool (400): Specifically wait for opportunities to "catch the fish's body". The crypto market spends 80% of its time in sideways oscillation; entering the market hard during this time is just giving away trading costs. I taught him to focus on several mainstream varieties; if they are sideways for more than 3 days, close the software directly and wait to act until it breaks below the oscillation range or stabilizes above the 60-day moving average, aiming for more than 10% wave profits.
Bottom line pool (400): This is "emergency money" that should never be touched. Even if the market is in dire straits, do not touch this money. Many people stumble by "adding positions to lower the average price when the market drops", ultimately forcing themselves into a corner. Remember: surviving gives you the qualification to wait for rebounds; if the bottom line is there, opportunities will be there.
Two, refuse "ineffective operations": before the trend is clear, patience is more important than skills.
I often tell my fans: "In the crypto market, being diligent doesn't necessarily mean making money, but acting randomly will definitely lead to losses." Last year, a student made 5-8 trades daily, paying several thousand in fees, yet ended up losing 20% of the capital.
The true rhythm of making money is "lying flat usually, acting precisely when needed". My trading habit is:
When there is no clear trend, open the trading software no more than 3 times a week, focusing on key support and resistance levels, and do not make any subjective predictions;
Once a trend is established (for example, breaking above the sideways range by more than 3%), enter decisively while setting stop-loss orders;
Once profits exceed 20% of the capital, immediately withdraw 30% to secure the gains. Money in your own pocket is real profit; don't let "floating profits" turn into "floating losses".
Core viewpoint: The crypto market does not lack opportunities; what is lacking is the patience to wait for opportunities. Learn to "wait in cash", and you will outlast 80% of retail investors.
Three, the iron triangle discipline: use rules instead of "feeling to place orders".
The most common mistake beginners make is trading based on "intuition" and "emotion": being reluctant to sell when prices rise and being afraid to cut losses when prices fall, ultimately being led by the market. I forced the novice to follow three rules, and now he can strictly adhere to them himself:
Stop-loss iron rule: Set a 2% stop-loss for each trade, and close the position when it hits the target, even if there is a rebound afterward. A stop-loss is not a loss; it's a "brake" for erroneous trades to prevent small losses from turning into large losses.
Take profit strategy: Once profits exceed 4%, reduce half of the position first, and set a trailing stop for the remaining position to let the profits "run on their own". This ensures both securing part of the gains and not wasting the trend.
No adding positions: Absolutely do not add to positions when in loss, no matter if you think "it's reached the bottom" or "it will rebound immediately". Adding positions during a loss is essentially "betting more money on an uncertain outcome", and nine out of ten times it will get worse.
In fact, a small capital has never been a problem; the problem is that you always think about "getting rich overnight". 1.2k can grow to 3.8w, relying not on gambling on the market but on a system of "controlling risk + waiting for opportunities".
