The coin protected by the market maker, hold on tight!
When the market crashes, but your coin remains stable? Congratulations, this is the market maker protecting it. Don't sell it impulsively; it will likely make you smile later.
Beginners should focus on two lifelines for buying and selling
Short-term: 15-minute K-line + daily line, hold online, run offline, simple and straightforward.
Mid-term: Daily line determines life or death, don’t mess with fancy indicators; the simpler, the more profitable.
If a short-term coin doesn't rise in 3 days, switch it out
Bought and it dropped? Cut losses at 5% immediately; don't fight the market. A coin that the market doesn’t recognize is like a person who doesn’t love you; it’s useless to force it.
A 9-day crash = a rebound signal
After the coin price is halved and continues to fall for 9 days? It indicates that the bears are exhausted; a rebound is just around the corner, act when it’s time.
Only play leading coins, don’t be a bag holder
The strongest risers are the leaders; the most resistant to falling are still the leaders. Weak coins are like a helpless situation; don’t be greedy and end up with big losses.
Bottom fishing? Better to wait for the trend
A coin that's falling is like jumping off a building; you think you're bottom fishing, but you're actually halfway down the mountain. Trend is king, don't go against the market.
Don't get complacent with profits; reviewing is the way to success
One-time profit may be luck; continuous profit relies on real skill. After each profit, ask yourself: Was this skill or just luck?
It's not shameful to hold cash, it's the chaotic operations that are deadly
Holding cash at least won't lose money, while chaotic operations are equivalent to giving money away. Trading is not about speed, but about brains.
New coins can skyrocket and plummet; be careful not to get cut.
New coins rely on hype to rise, but lack real ability to support it. Once the hype fades, it will teach you a lesson in no time.
In the crypto world, faith is what matters
The value of a coin is determined by how many people believe in it. If many people believe, it will rise; if consensus collapses, it will drop to zero.
The core is just one sentence:
Follow the market makers, watch the trend, play the leaders, cut losses when necessary, and hold cash if uncertain.
Remember these tips, and it will be hard to lose money!
Seven years ago, like all newbies, I watched Bitcoin rise from 789 to 19783, FOMO kicked in, and I went all in, only to see a 40% drop a week later... But now, my investment portfolio has outperformed the market by 470%, the key being— the method of rolling positions:
● Adding positions with floating profits: After gaining floating profits, you can consider adding positions. But before adding, ensure that your holding cost has decreased to reduce the risk of losses. This does not mean blindly adding positions after making profits, but doing so at the right moment.
● Core position + T+0 rolling operation: Divide funds into multiple parts, keep a portion of core funds intact, while using the other portion for high sell-low buy operations.
Specific ratios can be chosen based on personal risk preferences and capital size. For example, you can choose half positions for rolling T, or 30% core positions for rolling T, or 70% core positions for rolling T, etc. This operation can lower holding costs and increase profits.
The defined 'right time' mainly has two types, in my opinion:
1. Increase positions during convergence breakout trends; after breaking out, quickly reduce the added positions to capture the main uptrend.
2. Increase trend positions during pullbacks in the trend, such as buying in batches during moving average pullbacks.
Rolling positions can be done in various ways, the most common is through adjusting holdings. Traders can gradually decrease or increase their positions based on market changes to achieve profitability. They can also use trading tools like leverage to amplify returns, but this also increases risk.
Three factors to pay attention to in trading:
First, the factor is mindset.
Second, it is the truth of human nature.
Third, be diligent in learning and improving your understanding.
Survival Guide for Beginners: How to 'stay alive' in the crypto world?
✅ Control your position and keep enough bullets
Never invest all your capital at once; leave yourself some room and keep enough liquidity to cope with sudden market changes.
✅ Stay away from high leverage, be cautious with contracts
Contract trading is extremely risky, especially for beginners; liquidation is often just a matter of time. Don't be tempted by short-term high returns; preserving your capital is key.
✅ Focus on mainstream currencies
Mainstream currencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum are relatively stable in volatility and have stronger risk resistance, suitable for beginners to accumulate assets through regular investment or long-term holding.
✅ Strictly take profits and cut losses
Greed and luck are the biggest enemies in the crypto world. Set reasonable profit-taking and stop-loss points, decisively exit when it's time, and don't let profitable trades turn into losing ones, nor should you have unrealistic fantasies about losing trades.
✅ Always have stablecoins on hand
Keep a certain amount of USDT, USDC, and other stablecoins on hand, so you can respond to funding needs in emergencies and quickly enter the market when opportunities arise.
✅ Refuse to chase highs, maintain rationality
There are market opportunities every day; missing one is okay; blindly chasing highs is the biggest risk. Stay calm, avoid being influenced by market emotions, and patiently wait for the real opportunity.
Why do people say that trading spot in the crypto world is not about making big profits, but at least it’s not easy to lose money?
As someone who started with 50,000 yuan in the crypto world and achieved financial freedom, I am increasingly convinced of one fact: if you have enough understanding of the crypto world, trading spot is a market where it's extremely hard to lose money.
Of course, this also depends on the person. Newbies, if you're not careful, can easily lose money by buying high and trading emotionally; but as long as you've experienced two rounds of bull and bear markets and truly understand the market, you'll find that trading spot is the real way to steadily make money.
