After 10 years of trading cryptocurrencies, I have experienced the despair of liquidation and sleepless nights, and I have also found a path that consistently yields an annual return of over 50%. This content is not a trading signal, but a 'survival guide' for newcomers still struggling in the crypto world—only by staying alive can you have the qualification to talk about making money.


My stable profit does not rely on all-in bets or gambling on market trends, but on 'recognizing trends + strictly adhering to discipline'. Follow these 6 core principles for 3 months, and you will break out of the cycle of repeatedly returning to zero.

One, only trade after 9 PM, refuse to be busy during the day

During the day, market news is chaotic and the bull-bear struggle is intense, price fluctuations are like 'cramps', making it hard to grasp effective trends; while the truly clean and clear market trends often emerge after 9 PM.
Especially during the transition period of the European and American markets, once the trend is clear (e.g., bullish/bearish direction established), the market often moves more smoothly, and the win rate is much higher than during the day.

Two, take profits first: Account numbers ≠ real money

The biggest trap in the crypto world is not 'not making money', but 'making money without taking it out'.
My iron rule: As long as the account earns an additional 1000U, immediately withdraw 300U to the bank card, and continue rolling the remaining funds.
The reason is simple: The money you transfer to the bank card is real, while the numbers in the account are just that—numbers. Too many people earn 10,000 U and still want to double it, only to lose everything due to a market pullback because they don't understand the importance of 'taking profits in time'.

Three, look at the candlestick charts, not feelings: Use 3 indicators to determine the direction

Trading based on 'feelings' is a deadly behavior; my judgment is based solely on objective indicators:


  1. Tools: Install TradingView on your phone, focus on the 3 indicators: MACD, RSI, and Bollinger Bands, and only open a position when at least 2 signals are consistent (e.g. MACD golden cross + RSI exiting the oversold zone);

  2. Period: Do not look at 5-minute short cycles (too much noise), for short-term trading, look at the 1-hour chart, and for trend trading, look at the 4-hour chart;

  3. Case: When going long on ETH, wait for the K-line to stay above the middle band of the Bollinger Bands for 2 consecutive hours before entering; if it is sideways, wait until the 4-hour chart hits the support level before entering.

Four, stop loss must be flexible: Don't get washed out by the market makers

Mechanical stop losses can easily be triggered by market makers. Here are 2 practical methods:


  • If you have time to watch the market: dynamically raise stop losses (e.g., if you go long at 1000U and it rises to 1100U, raise the stop loss to 1050U), which preserves profit and gives flexibility to market fluctuations;

  • No time to watch the market: Directly set a hard stop loss at 3%, even if the market crashes, you can control the magnitude of a single loss.
    Remember: Stop loss is not a shame, it is a pass to survive.

Five, withdraw funds weekly: Forcibly lock in profits

This is the habit I developed early on, and it's the key to breaking the 'zero cycle':
Every Friday without fail, withdraw 30% of profits, regardless of how much was earned, first transfer it from the account to the bank card, then plan the subsequent positions.
Stick to it for 3 months, and you will find that 'preserving profits' is far more realistic than 'fantasizing about huge profits'.

Six, remember the 5 taboos: Don't step into deadly pits

  1. Leverage should not exceed 10 times: Newcomers are advised to keep it at 3-5 times, as high leverage is the main reason for liquidation;

  2. Contract orders ≤ 3 per day: Too many trades can lead to 'overtrading' and loss of rational judgment;

  3. Stay away from niche meme coins: Dogecoin, shitcoins, etc., are often high volatility and low value games controlled by market makers, newcomers should avoid them;

  4. Never borrow money to trade cryptocurrencies: Even if you feel it's a 'sure win', do not use borrowed funds, as losses can lead to a debt crisis;

  5. Treat trading cryptocurrencies as a profession, not a gamble: Maintain a work rhythm—check the market at set times, shut down at set times, avoid staying up late, chasing spikes, or fantasizing about 'getting rich overnight'.


Finally, I want to say: In the crypto world, making stable profits is more important than 'getting rich quickly'. It's not that you can't make money, it's just that you haven't learned to 'stay alive and hold onto profits'. Remember this logic, and moving forward in the long run is more reliable than blindly gambling on market trends.
