I just received a bank notification that 800,000 has been credited to my account.
For me, this isn't the first time withdrawing a large amount, but seeing that transfer record from three years ago: 'Deposit 80,000', it still touches my heart.
Over the past few years in the crypto space, I've made money, lost money, and even faced a complete loss.
But one thing I'm sure of: those who make money in this market never rely on luck.
It's about execution, discipline, experience—plus a solid trading system.
Today, I will summarize the pitfalls I've encountered and the money I've made over the years into a few key points for you.
One, capital allocation = the lifeline of trading.
I always consider portfolio allocation as life.
The most stable strategy:
40% in BTC / ETH as the main portfolio base.
30% allocated to projects with a narrative, logic, and implementation (like the AI narrative sector at the end of last year),
30% reserved for sudden opportunities and high-volatility altcoins.
During last March's crash, the market held the bottom line, and two application coins even rose 50% against the trend.
If I go all in one direction, then I would exit that round.
Two, stop-loss = the brake for your account.
I set myself a rule: if a single coin drops more than 12%, stop-loss unconditionally.
You need to know that you are not losing this trade; you are losing the future of the entire account.
A brother of mine stubbornly held onto a worthless coin, watching it drop from 80,000 to just 9,000.
He spent half a year filling the hole, but in the end, he didn't even catch the bull market.
The first lesson in trading coins is not about making money; it's about learning to control losses.
Three, when the crowd is noisy, it's best to quietly reduce positions.
I always believe in this saying: 'The market is not lacking buy points; what it lacks is your calm moment.'
At the end of 2021, the convenience store owner downstairs was talking about Dogecoin; I went home and saw the RSI was over 90.
That day, I decisively reduced my position by 70%.
A few days later, the market crashed, and everyone who asked if I would chase was dumbfounded.
Trading coins is not about joining the crowd; the hotter the trend, the closer the danger.
Four, the three technical signals I often use are simple and straightforward but practical.
1. Increased volume
An increase must come with volume, at least 50% more than yesterday.
Otherwise, it's just a scam.
For example, the LTC I picked last week saw a volume spike when it broke 80, resulting in a 42% increase in 5 days.
2. Bollinger Band rules.
Lower band + convergence, trial buy;
Upper band + opening, gradually take profit.
At the beginning of this year, that's how I captured DOGE, with an 80% wave.
3. MACD Golden Cross
A daily golden cross above the zero line is my favorite offensive signal.
Last month's UNI wave was based on this, yielding 35% in 10 days.
Five, let me be honest:
I reviewed until 2 AM last night and filtered out two coins: increased volume + Bollinger Band convergence + MACD golden cross overlapping three signals.
I made a profit of 2 million last year from this pattern on DOT.
Originally, I planned to only work with acquaintances, but too many people asked, so I added 10 more to join the wave.
But I must say in advance: no all-in, no chasing highs, no stop-loss, don’t come.
Lastly, I want to say:
You think making money relies on judgment, but it's actually about execution;
You think you have no opportunities, but the truth is you have never held onto a real opportunity.
When the account is up, money is credited, and the path is clear, I finally understand—
In this market, it's not about the trend; it's about the strategy.
