Starting with 50,000, I grew it to 23.98 million in two years; I’m sharing my short-term trading secrets for the first time!
I am 30 years old this year; I entered the crypto world at 21, so I’ve been an old player in the crypto space for almost 10 years.
But what truly helped me turn a small amount of capital around were the years 2023-2024.
At that time, I used 50,000 as my initial capital, and through short-term trading, I grew it to 23.98 million RMB in two years.
Life is like this now:
When I go out, I must stay in high-end hotels costing over 2000 yuan, even my suitcase and hat have crypto logos on them.
No need to argue with clients, no need to hold inventory, no need to work 996 and stay up late to ship goods.
Much more comfortable than the 80s generation doing e-commerce and the 60s generation doing traditional industries.
But I want to say: in trading crypto, the most important thing is "mindset"; technique is secondary.
Today, I’m sharing some short-term trading principles that I’ve practiced and summarized for you 👇
[8 Principles for Trading Crypto] Dedicated to you who are still confused.
① BTC is the commander-in-chief of the crypto world.
When Bitcoin rises, altcoins generally rise too; when Bitcoin falls, 90% of coins can't hold up.
Of course, there are a few "hard assets" that can trend independently, like ETH and LINK, which are worth special attention.
② BTC and USDT move in opposite directions.
Remember this lifeline: when USDT rises = someone is dumping to switch to USDT, BTC is likely to fall.
When BTC rises, it's a good time to switch to USDT, locking in profits and not looking back.
③ Every day from midnight to 1 AM is the "spike" period.
This is the time when exchanges "play tricks"; they often instantaneously spike to sweep stop-losses.
Suggestion: Place low buy orders and high sell orders before sleeping; you might wake up to profits.
④ 6-8 AM is the golden period for short-term operations.
This period is crucial!
If it falls from 0 to the morning and is still falling → it’s highly likely that it will be in an upward trend all day → suitable for buying low.
If it rises from 0 to the morning and is still rising → it’s likely to surge and fall back during the day → suitable for selling to lock in profits.
⑤ 5 PM is the moment when US capital awakens.
Many major market movements, sudden crashes, and sudden spikes really happen at this point.
Pay attention to market trends + news, and develop the habit.
⑥ Be cautious of the Friday curse.
"Black Friday" may not happen every week, but historically there have been multiple occasions of crashes on Fridays.
Just pay a little attention to global financial turbulence and weekend on-chain trends, keeping risk under control in advance.
⑦ Holding coins with faith is the fundamental way to make money.
The premise is that this coin has liquidity, has a community, and has genuine enthusiasm.
Don't be afraid of short-term declines; time will give you justice.
If you have spare cash → gradually increase your positions to lower costs.
No money → stop-loss without cutting, wait for the cycle to recover.
As long as it’s not an I (air) coin, most can come back.
⑧ Trade spot, keep the trading frequency low for a stable mindset.
Remember this: the ones who earn the most are not the ones who trade the most frequently, but those who hold steadily.
I bought Dogecoin at 0.089, even when it doubled in the middle I didn't sell, I held it until now, and it has multiplied more than 20 times.
What you lack is not opportunities, but the patience to hold coins.
