I have been in the crypto world for a full 10 years.
In the first three years, I lost over 700,000 from a capital of 1 million, and my family was on the verge of collapse, almost leading to divorce. I didn't go out for two months, relying on sleeping pills to get through each day.
But I bit my teeth and didn't give up. Used the remaining 300,000 as a last gamble and quit my job to trade full-time.
Later, by summarizing mistakes, learning techniques, and mimicking the rhythm of experts, I grew from 300,000 to over 45.7 million. I want to share some heartfelt experiences to help you avoid detours.
🔥 I relied on these 12 iron laws to turn my losses into gains
The crypto world lacks opportunities, but it lacks 'execution' and 'discipline'.
As long as you understand seriously and act accordingly, even with little capital, you can live better than 99% of retail investors.
1⃣ Not setting stop losses = suicide
Even the strongest signals can be wrong; cutting losses is the first principle of trading.
2⃣ Don't chase highs, don't catch bottoms
Go long in a bull market, short in a bear market. Follow the trend, go against human nature, but it's effective.
3⃣ Every trade must set profit and loss limits
If you don't plan before trading, you'll regret it after.
4⃣ Carefully select opportunities; don't trade junk volatility
Don't trade just because there is an opportunity; frequent trading will only lead to losses.
5⃣ Reinvest profits, always protect your capital
Treat profits as bullets; don't throw your capital in for burial.
6⃣ Emotional stability is the prerequisite for making money
It's easy to make mistakes when excited. Think clearly before placing an order.
7⃣ Keep a trading diary; reviewing will lead to progress
Write down where you went wrong each day, and where you won in that chain.
8⃣ Learn to stay out of positions; wait for opportunities to strike
If the market doesn't move, don't move; experts are all 'lazy'.
9⃣ Only learn one set of techniques and use it repeatedly
If you want to learn everything, you will only understand half of it.
🔟 Only trade coins and logic that you understand
1⃣1⃣ Position control is always the top priority
1⃣2⃣ Respect the market; don't fantasize about getting rich on a single trade
📈 Practical insights: MACD three axes, capture short-term rhythms
MACD is my most commonly used main chart indicator, simple and effective; three moves are enough.
✅ Golden cross buy signal:
Yellow and white lines below the zero axis, white line crosses above yellow line → Market stops falling, enter position
Both lines cross above the zero axis → Bullish starts, add positions in the trend
White line crosses above yellow line above the zero axis → Strong breakout, continue to hold
❌ Death cross sell signal:
White line crosses below yellow line → Market weakens, consider taking profits
Crosses below zero axis → Bears come, mainly wait and see
Death cross below zero axis → Staying out is the safest
🎯 Divergence signals at tops/bottoms:
New high in coin price, red bars shorten → Top divergence, short
New low in coin price, green bars shorten → Bottom divergence, long
MACD combined with moving averages + trend lines is more effective; if conditions allow, combine with Bollinger Bands.
💰 How to play with small funds? Look at my rolling position counterattack strategy
With little capital, you need to be more stable. Don't fantasize about getting rich overnight; learn to 'move quickly with small steps':
1. Choose coins with a clear direction and high intra-day volatility
For example, lightweight hot coins like TURBO, PEOPLE, NOT.
2. Practice with low leverage (5x~10x)
Don't blow up at 20x right after starting; practice accuracy first, then increase leverage.
3. After making a profit, 'roll over into a new position'
Every time you profit, use the profits to open the next order, keep the capital!
4. Always have a stop loss
Don't let a single mistake wipe out several rounds of effort.
5. Keep a stable mindset, don't trade impulsively
The greedier you are, the more likely you are to fail. To win in the crypto world, you have to endure.
✅ To summarize: If you want to make money in the crypto world, don't rely on luck
Whether you can survive in the crypto world doesn't depend on the market, but on:
Do you have a set of rules you can execute?
Can you control your emotions, not follow the trend or gamble?
Are you willing to trade stability for growth using rolling positions, trend-following, and discipline?
