Those who trade contracts know, analysis feels like a textbook, but practice is like hell mode. The market can change face at any moment; messages in the group, sudden news, or even a midnight turn can make you doubt life. Today, let's discuss real stuff—how to survive in crypto and still make profits.
I. Choosing Coins: Don’t be deceived by volatility.
Leverage is About Certainty, Not Betting on Who Jumps Higher.
Patterns > Volatility: Coins like EOS go crazy when they rise, but most of the time they sway like a drunken man, specifically targeting those who are impatient.
Follow the Strong, Not the Weak: In a bull market, focus on the ones that rise the most (like ETH), in a bear market, short the ones that drop the hardest (like BTC), don’t switch it around and give away your head.
II. Opening Positions: Patience is a Top Talent.
Be Patient: In this market, there will definitely be a comfortable entry point in 2-3 days; chasing at market price? Expect to be ground down to doubt life.
Mobile Phones Can Be Harmful: Looking at K-lines on a small screen makes you feel 'it's dropped enough' or 'it has risen too much', and once you act, you're stuck halfway.
Don’t Be the Atmosphere Group: Is someone in the group calling for trades? First, ask for logic. If they can only say 'charge, charge, charge', chances are they’re panicking and looking for support.
Admit Mistakes: If something feels wrong after opening a position, even if you lose a bit on fees, you must run; stubbornly holding usually ends on the rooftop.
III. Holding Positions: Against Human Nature.
Leave Stop Loss to Machines: Manual stop loss? When the point is reached, you’ll absolutely want to 'hold on a bit longer', and the hole just gets deeper.
Take Profits First: Don’t be greedy after making money; take half of the profit, and set the remaining for break-even loss. The money earned through skill goes into your pocket, and the rest is left to luck.
Less Loss Equals Win: If you’re trapped, don’t fantasize about 'returning to break even' immediately; cut losses quickly. Losing 10% is more important than making 20%.
Stay Out of Groups While Holding Positions: Scrolling through messages will only cause you to explode mentally; fearing drops when it rises, fearing explosions when it falls, leading to distorted operations.
IV. Position: Surviving is Key to Turning the Tables.
High Leverage ≠ High Risk: 100x leverage with a 1% stop loss is equivalent to 10x leverage with a 10% stop loss; the loss amount is the same. The key is stop-loss discipline.
Single Loss ≤ 10%: Losing more than 30% at once means you need to double your capital to recover, which is as hard as climbing to the sky.
Cut Losses Quickly When Close to Liquidation: Don’t fantasize about miracles; keep some principal left for another chance. Recharging after a liquidation? That’s a highway to bankruptcy.
Reject Compound Interest Traps: If you make $1000 to $2000, don’t rush to increase your position. Newbies die from rolling over positions, while veterans die from inflation.
V. Cultivating the Mind: Forgetting Prices to Make Money.
The Most Toxic Psychology in Crypto is 'Anchoring'—always thinking 'it has dropped enough to buy' or 'it has risen enough to short'. What’s the result?
Shorting in a Bull Market: Remembering BTC at $3000, feeling $6000 is 'too expensive', only to be driven to doubt life as it rises.
Bottom Fishing in a Bear Market: Thinking 'cheap' when it drops from $14,000 to $10,000, only to see it halved again.
Experts Only Recognize Trends: If a key level is broken, don’t dwell on 'how much it was before', just reverse if needed. Clearing emotions allows you to keep up with the market.
