Let me say something that might hit hard: The ones who make big money in the crypto world are never those with the best technology, but rather those who can catch the right rhythm and survive long enough.
My strategy of 'Base Position + Trend Amplification + Profit Rolling' has saved many retail investors from losses, even complete beginners can get started — the core is three words: Stable, Fierce, Accurate.
Step 1: Base Position, survive first before talking about taking profits.
When the market hasn't exploded, 90% of people are betting on 'the next trend', while I will only use 20% of my capital to test the waters:
For example, with a 3000U principal, first invest 600U to enter, and keep the remaining 2400U idle — while others gamble with larger amounts, I use a small position to explore; while others bet on direction, I wait for the trend to become clear.
The key at this step is 'not to lose': set a stop loss at 3%-5% (losing a maximum of 30U on 600U), even if wrong, it won’t be a devastating loss.
Remember: there are plenty of opportunities in the crypto world, if you can't survive, no matter how great the market is, it has nothing to do with you. When the trend hasn't arrived, you are the hunter (patiently waiting); when the trend comes, you can be the butcher (daring to act decisively).
Step 2: Trend Amplification, hammering into the main upward phase.
Once the signal arrives, I won't hesitate. I only look for three 'trigger signals':
Volume Breakthrough: For example, if BTC breaks its previous high, the 5-minute trading volume is more than 50% larger than the previous 3 candlesticks;
Structural Reversal: During a pullback, it does not break key support (like the 4-hour MA20), but instead quickly rebounds;
Emotional Surge: The discussion heat in the community skyrockets, with the long/short ratio jumping from 1.2:1 to over 2:1.
When the three signals resonate, I directly increase my position to 70% (investing 2100U out of 3000U), riding the main upward wave — not making small profits, not being greedy for swings, but holding onto the core profit of the trend.
Step 3: Profit Rolling, letting the snowball grow bigger.
After making a profit, ordinary people either sell everything or keep everything, but I do it this way:
For example, if the 600U base position earns 300U (50% profit), first lock in 200U, and use the remaining 100U profit to continue scaling up — keeping the principal unchanged while 'rolling profits' with profits.
This way, even if the market pulls back later, the loss will only be from earned profits, and the principal remains safe; once the market continues, the funds will grow like a snowball.
Don't doubt it, these people have already turned their fortunes around using this method.
A brother from the construction site started with 500U, using 20% base capital for testing and 70% for trend scaling, and in six months made it to 43K, now trading full-time;
A brother in debt, with a 2000U principal, strictly followed the 'profit rolling' rule, and in 2 months not only paid off 60K debt but also made an extra 18K;
A mother with a small capital of 300U, watching the market while the baby sleeps, gradually using 'base position' now has an account of 26K.
Lastly, let me be straightforward:
Trading cryptocurrencies is never about who is smarter, but about who can withstand temptation and hold onto profits. If you chase trends every day and gamble on contracts, you are essentially using 'gambler's mentality' to take risks — and those who can truly turn their fortunes around are those with a system: knowing when to take small positions to test, when to go heavy, and when to lock in profits.
What you lack is not 'the next big profit', but a complete system that can run through a whole wave of market. Want to avoid liquidation, not chasing highs, and catch the main upward wave? Start with 'base position' and gradually get the rhythm right — the secret to making money in the crypto world has always been hidden in 'stability'.
