In the cryptocurrency market, many investors hold dreams of getting rich overnight, blindly following trends, often ending up trapped at high positions and falling into a pit of losses. As an experienced investor, I want to tell you that those who can achieve stable profits in the crypto space are not the speculators pursuing short-term profits, but those who possess rational thinking and a steady approach. Today, I will share with you how to invest steadily in the crypto space, using rolling strategies and reasonable position management to achieve long-term stable profits.
1. The mindset of investing in the crypto space: Control emotions and avoid greed
In the crypto space, successful trading relies not only on technical analysis but also on good emotional control. Many investors make irrational decisions during market fluctuations due to emotional swings. For example, they impulsively chase prices when the price rises sharply, and panic sell when the price drops. Such emotional trading is one of the main reasons retail investors incur losses.
As an investor, you need to remain calm and rational. Especially when facing significant market fluctuations, you need to be firm in your investment strategy and avoid blindly chasing prices. Do not be influenced by short-term price fluctuations; instead, judge the timing of buying and selling rationally based on the long-term market trend.
2. Position management: Reduce risk, ensure steady profits
Position management is one of the most important parts of investing. Especially in the crypto space, where market volatility is fierce, reasonable position management can help you retain capital during market corrections and quickly profit during price increases. Here are my personal position management suggestions:
1. Position management to reduce risk
The core principle of position management is to diversify risks and not invest all funds in one trade. If you have 30,000 USDT, you can split it as follows:
Divide the capital into three portions, each of 10,000 USDT.
Use one portion of your capital for each trade. This way, even if you incur losses, they won't affect all your funds.
Specific leverage settings: For major cryptocurrencies (like Bitcoin), use no more than 10x leverage; for altcoins, leverage should not exceed 5x.
2. Operations for increasing and decreasing positions
When in profit, consider increasing your position. Especially when the market trend is clear and the situation is good, increasing your position can amplify returns. However, before increasing your position, make sure that your costs have already been reduced to avoid blindly increasing positions and leading to greater risks. One misconception to avoid here is that floating profits are not an unlimited reason to add to positions; you must ensure that the market trend is still moving in a favorable direction.
3. Set take-profit and stop-loss points to avoid excessive greed
Setting take-profit and stop-loss points is a basic operation that every investor needs to establish. Failing to set stop-loss points properly may result in missing exit opportunities due to minor fluctuations, leading to significant losses; unreasonable take-profit points may cause you to miss profits when prices reverse. A reasonable take-profit and stop-loss strategy can not only help you protect profits but also avoid emotional interference from chasing prices up and down.
3. Rolling strategy: Capturing the 'big opportunities' in the market
The rolling strategy is to achieve a compound effect by increasing positions in a major trend. Many investors misunderstand rolling positions as blindly adding to their positions, but in reality, rolling positions is a method that emphasizes timing and strategy. It is only suitable to roll positions when the market trend is clear and signals are strong.
Three applicable scenarios for rolling operations:
1. Choosing a direction after a long period of consolidation: When the market enters a phase of horizontal consolidation, and price fluctuations narrow, it usually indicates that a breakout is forthcoming. If the market breaks through key support levels above or below during this time, rolling operations can be performed.
2. Corrections after a significant rise in a bull market: Corrections in a bull market are often a good buying opportunity. When a significant rise is followed by a 20%-30% correction, it is suitable to increase your position and wait for the market to recover.
3. After breaking through key resistance levels: When the market breaks through long-term key resistance or support levels, it usually signifies that prices will enter a new upward cycle. At this point, rolling operations can yield significant returns.
Specific operational methods for rolling positions:
Floating profit position increase: If you have floating profits after the market rises, you may consider adding to your position, but only if you have already reduced your holding cost to ensure minimal risk.
Base position + T strategy rolling: Divide your capital into two parts, keeping one part as a base position and using the other part for high sell-low buy rolling operations. This not only reduces losses but also allows for gains during fluctuations.
4. Risk management: Stay calm amid volatility
In the cryptocurrency market, risk control is the key to determining long-term profitability. The market's volatility is significant, and rapid price fluctuations often impair investors' emotions, leading to wrong decisions. Therefore, maintaining a good risk control mechanism is essential.
1. Establishing risk tolerance:
Psychological preparation: The retracement in the cryptocurrency market is usually substantial, so you must be psychologically prepared to endure a 30%-50% retracement. Only with a stable mindset can you maximize returns amid market volatility.
Diversified investment: Do not concentrate all your funds in one trade. Diversified investment can effectively reduce the risk posed by fluctuations in a single market.
2. Avoid excessive speculation with high leverage:
The high leverage characteristic of the cryptocurrency market can easily lead investors to develop a mindset of excessive speculation, but behind high leverage lurks enormous risks. When engaging in leveraged trading, you must act within your means, reasonably control the leverage ratio, and ensure that risks are manageable.
5. Conclusion: Rational investing, staying away from the fantasy of 'getting rich quick'
Through reasonable position management, rolling strategies, setting take-profit and stop-loss points, and analyzing market trends, you can achieve stable profits in the cryptocurrency market. However, remember that the crypto space is not a place for overnight riches. Investors should remain rational, avoid blindly chasing short-term profits, and focus on long-term planning. The high volatility of the market and short-term temptations may make you lose your rationality, but only by maintaining a calm mindset and scientific investment methods can you navigate steadily in this turbulent market.
