A senior who turned 100,000 yuan into a market value of 42 million yuan once said something that I have remembered for many years: 'Most people in this market are led by emotions. If you can control yourself, the market will be your ATM.' Later, I developed a 'foolproof method' based on his thinking, which seems counterintuitive but truly helps avoid the pitfalls that most people fall into.
One, break the 'small gains and large losses' deadlock first.
'Don't earn small money, don't lose big money'—these eight words are the core that seniors repeatedly emphasize, but it's harder to implement than expected—most people fall into the rhythm of 'earning 5% and running, losing 20% and holding on.'
I've seen too many examples: Opening a position at 20,000, eagerly taking profit at 21,000, only to see the market surge to 25,000, regretting missing out on 50%; next time learning to 'hold on,' opening at 20,000 and resisting selling at 21,000, only to see it drop back to 19,500 and panic to stop loss, suffering a loss for nothing.
The essence is not understanding the difference between 'trend profit' and 'volatility profit.' Taking profit on small rises earns short-term volatility gains but loses out on the larger trend profits; not stopping loss on falls turns 'controllable small losses' into 'devastating losses.' True profit requires learning to 'let the trend give you money, and not let volatility dig into your pockets.'
Two, selecting coins: Prefer 'foolish screening' over 'flashy gimmicks.'
The senior's coin selection logic is very simple: Focus solely on 'mainstream coins that have dropped excessively and stabilized'; he avoids new coins and concept coins altogether. He always says, 'No matter how flashy a new coin's story is, it's not as solid as an old coin's foundation.' The specific approach involves two steps:
First, look for 'excessive dips'—mainstream coins that have undergone a round of correction, dropping more than 50%, and have been sideways for over 3 months, like Bitcoin dropping 60% from its peak and oscillating within a certain range without creating new lows; this is a signal that it has 'dropped excessively.'
Then wait for a 'slow crawl'—not guessing where the bottom is, but watching for the appearance of 'small upward trends with volume': consecutive small upward daily candles, gradually increasing trading volume, with prices not jumping up dramatically but moving up little by little. At this point, throw in 10% of the position as a base, seemingly 'buying halfway up,' but in reality, avoiding the pitfall of 'catching the bottom during a downward continuation.'
He often says: 'Being foolish is fine, but mainstream coins have consensus support. Even if you get stuck short-term, as long as the trend hasn't turned bad, there will always be a way to break even; new coins haven't undergone cyclical verification; if they drop, they may not recover.'
Three, adding positions: Don't catch the bottom, wait for the 'trend to stabilize before getting on board.'
While others always think about 'buying at the lowest,' the senior takes the opposite approach: 'If the trend isn't stable, don't touch it even if it's lower; if the trend is stable, even if it's a bit expensive, dare to add.'
His position-adding rhythm is very fixed: After building the base position, he doesn't rush to add more; first, wait for the price to 'confirm going upward'—for example, breaking above the upper range of a sideways market or retracing without breaking key support levels (like the MA60 moving average). At this time, during a pullback, he adds 20%-30% of the position, even if it's 10% higher than the base cost, it's better than blindly catching the bottom and getting stuck halfway up.
Last year, when guiding a friend who had lost over 600,000 yuan in practical operations, I used this tactic: After Ethereum dropped from 2000 dollars, establish a base position at 1800 dollars, and wait for it to stabilize at 2200 dollars and retrace to 2000 dollars to add positions. At that time, my friend complained that 'it was too expensive,' but later Ethereum soared to 3000 dollars, and he not only recovered but also made enough to buy a BMW X3 in half a year.
Four, take profit: 'Securing the bag' is true profit.
No matter how crazy the market is, the senior has a strict rule: After every surge, first withdraw the principal and half of the profits, and let the remaining part 'play around.'
For example, with a capital of 100,000 yuan, when it rises to 200,000, first withdraw 100,000 of the principal and 50,000 in profit, leaving 50,000 in—at this point, it's equivalent to 'playing with profits,' and the mindset is stable; even if the market pulls back, the earned part is secured, unlike others who go from floating profits to losses.
He always says: 'The biggest deception in the coin circle is 'floating profits'; the numbers on the candlestick chart don't count; what is transferred to the bank account is yours.' Last year, when Bitcoin surged to 100,000 dollars, he sold part of it according to his drawn 'take profit line.' Later, when the market corrected, people around him were cursing, but he had already used the secured money to buy a school district house.
Finally, I want to say: What the coin circle lacks is not smart people, but 'patient fools.'
This market is never short of 'smart people' who can 'grab three limit-ups in one day,' but most people earn and then lose, going in circles and ending up the same. Instead, it's the seniors like him, the 'patient fools' who can control their hands and endure, who slowly grow their capital by not being greedy for small profits, not betting on bottoms, and cashing out in time.
Simply put, the money in the coin circle is not 'traded' but 'waited for'—wait for the trend to stabilize before acting and wait for profits to be secured before stopping. Rather than following the 'smart paths' of chasing highs and lows, it’s better to try this foolproof method: be steadier, be slower, and every bit of profit earned is solid.
