On the day I blew up for the sixth time, I stared at the only 32 USDT left in my account, the cigarette butt burned to the point where my fingers had no feeling — the nights I spent in the crypto circle over the past three years and the pits I stepped into have left me with nothing even for a decent hot pot meal. Ironically, at that time, the group was still posting screenshots of leverage saying "one shot to break even," and I finally realized: most people lose everything not because of bad luck, but because they haven't even touched the door of "information mining."
If it weren't for that retired old player throwing me a set of "life-saving value-added rules," I would have long returned to a nine-to-five brick-moving life. Now I have been doing crypto analysis for 5 years, and I have seen too many newcomers paying tuition with real money. Today, I dissected this card-flipping logic, especially the fourth step; those who can get through it are the real winners.
Phase one (1-7 days): Stop first! Use the 'three-part method' to protect your principal.
Those who just went bankrupt are most likely to make a mistake: rushing to recover losses by leveraging, resulting in losing the last bit of capital. At that time, I strictly followed the 'three-part rule' of experienced players, splitting 3000 U into three parts:
Main position (2000U): Only engage with the top 20 mainstream cryptocurrencies on leading trading platforms. Avoid those 'new concept coins' that can't even clearly write a white paper; mainstream coins won't go to zero even if they drop, this is the foundation of survival.
Arbitrage position (700U): This is the 'starter' for future profits. In the early stages, don't pursue high returns; first practice and familiarize yourself with the rules.
Emergency fund (300U): I have set a separate password for this money. No matter how tempting the market may seem, I will never use it, equivalent to installing a 'safety airbag' for my account.
Many people who just entered the market think about 'getting rich overnight', but I tell you with hard-earned lessons: the first rule of survival in the crypto world is not to be eliminated by the market. If you can't even preserve your principal, how can you talk about making money?
Phase two (8-30 days): Stable arbitrage! Daily 3%-4% secret signals.
After surviving the first 7 days, you reach the most crucial profit phase—cross-platform arbitrage. Don't think 'arbitrage' sounds complicated; in fact, accurately capturing two signals allows beginners to earn steadily.
The core indicator taught to me by experienced players is the 'spread + funding rate' dual signal: when the price difference of mainstream coins against stablecoins on two second-tier trading platforms exceeds 1.3%, and the funding rate of perpetual contracts is negative for 10 consecutive hours, an opportunity arises.
The operational logic is very simple: buy the spot on platform A at a low price with the arbitrage position, while opening a short position of equal amount on platform B at a high price. This way, regardless of market fluctuations, we can earn the price difference from both platforms, as well as the subsidy from negative rates, ensuring stable earnings even in large fluctuations. At that time, I spent 1 hour a day monitoring, and made a maximum of 4.2% in one day; after 30 days, the arbitrage position grew to over 1500 U.
Here's a critical reminder: don't be greedy in arbitrage. For a single cryptocurrency, take profits quickly after each arbitrage, and frequent switching can easily lead to pitfalls. I've seen people trade back and forth for a 0.2% price difference, ultimately paying more in fees than they earn.
Phase three (31-90 days): Breakthrough appreciation! Seize the doubling opportunity of 'new coin volume'.
When the total account funds exceed 18,000 U, you can take out 30% of the funds for 'appreciation layout'—the goal at this time is not to be stable, but to seize doubling opportunities. My core logic is 'watching for new coins showing initial trading volume', lurking a step ahead of others.
How to do it specifically? Focus on second-tier coins that have just been launched on top platforms for 1-2 weeks, and open the candlestick chart to look for 'unusual trading volume': if a new coin's trading volume has been gradually increasing for three consecutive days, and its price stabilizes more than 10% above the issue price, you can enter the market with a small position, ensuring that the position does not exceed 15% of the total capital.
I relied on this method at the time and captured a new coin in the IoT concept, increasing 4.3 times in 22 days, with my account directly jumping from 18,000 U to 210,000 U. But remember: when investing in new coins, take profits when they are good, decisively take profit when reaching the target price, and don't be greedy to become a 'long-term shareholder'.
To be frank: the winners are never 'gamblers'.
Many people ask me: 'Can this method still be used now?' In fact, methods are just frameworks; the real core is 'sensitivity to information' and 'execution ability'—I now spend 2 hours a day reading industry reports and monitoring platform announcements, discovering signals half a day earlier than others, allowing me to earn an extra cent.
The crypto world has never been a 'gambling casino'; those who have been losing money for years either got carried away by the slogan of 'getting rich overnight', or are too lazy to spend time researching information. I moved from 3,000 to 200,000, not relying on luck, but executing the discipline of 'stop-loss, arbitrage, appreciation' to the extreme.
In the future, I will continue to break down arbitrage techniques under different market conditions, and will also share how to quickly filter valuable industry information. Follow me, and next time we'll discuss 'how to earn 15% monthly from arbitrage during a bear market', so you don't have to pay tuition with real money!
