In the rapidly changing cryptocurrency market, 'surviving longer' is far more valuable than 'earning quickly'! As a professional trader Zhuque who has managed eight-figure funds and has 7 years of practical experience, I have witnessed countless myths of making fortunes overnight, as well as even more tragedies of going to zero. Today, I am publicly sharing my life-saving trading rules for the first time. Newbies can master it to at least reduce losses by 50%, and experienced traders can double their trading efficiency after optimization!
1. Only bet on 'living coins,' stay away from death traps.
Survival rule: Only choose cryptocurrencies with a 24-hour trading volume exceeding 50 million USD.
- Negative case study: FTT, backed by the 'richest Chinese,' due to volume manipulation, went to zero in three days.
- My core list: Three major mainstream coins BTC/ETH/SOL + 2 leading tokens in emerging sectors (like AI star RNDR)
2. Be wary of exchange risks and ensure asset isolation.
A bloody lesson: In 2022, FTX collapsed, and 19 billion USD of user assets evaporated in an instant.
- Safety iron rule:
✅ Withdraw profits exceeding the principal immediately.
✅ Store 50% of your position in a cold wallet.
✅ Only leave 3 days' worth of trading funds on exchanges.
3. Understand these three candlesticks to catch key signals.
- Weekly MACD: The accuracy of golden and death crosses is 10 times higher than daily charts.
- Daily 200 moving average: Accurately identify bull-bear boundaries (like BTC breaking the crucial point of 25,000 USD in 2023).
- 4-hour trading volume: If it suddenly doubles or more, a big trend is likely hidden.
4. Stop-loss is the first survival rule.
The darkest moment: In 2021, LUNA plummeted from 119 USD to 0.0001 USD, with countless people losing everything due to not cutting losses.
- Mechanical stop-loss standards:
▶ Short-term: Exit immediately if losing 7%.
▶ Mid-term: Decisively liquidate if losing 15%.
▶ Long-term: Sell all if it breaks below weekly support.
5. Different strategies for bull and bear markets to lock in profits.
Bloody experience: In the 2020 bull market, many investors did not cash out when BTC rose to 60,000 USD, ultimately missing the opportunity.
- Scientific monetization strategies:
① Recover the principal after doubling.
② Sell 50% of your position when it doubles.
③ Set trailing stop-loss on remaining positions.
6. Anti-human nature interpretation of market news.
Magical reality:
- In September 2023, when rumors of 'SEC must approve BTC ETF' spread, the coin price plummeted by 20%.
- When the 2024 January approval comes through, the market will instead consolidate.
- News filtering rules:
★ Sell ahead of positive announcements.
★ Boldly enter after negative news is exhausted.
★ A frenzy across the network means a peak.
7. Restart trading cognition each year.
Deadly misconception: Using 2020 methods to deal with the 2024 market.
- Cognition upgrade guide:
➤ Pay attention to 3 professional on-chain data platforms (stay away from delayed information platforms).
➤ Join 2 high-quality paid communities (filter out 99% of ineffective information).
➤ Conduct in-depth research on one new sector each month (currently focusing on RWA and AI fields).
