Just received a bank notification, there is an additional 800,000 in the account.
For me, this is not the first time making a large withdrawal, but seeing that transfer record from three years ago: 'Deposit 80,000', I was still a bit moved.
In the past few years of messing around in the crypto world, I've made money, lost money, and even blown up accounts.
But one thing I am certain of: those who make money in this market have never relied on luck.
It's all about execution, discipline, experience—and a reliable trading system.
Today, I will summarize the pitfalls I've encountered and the money I've made over the past few years into a few valuable points to share with you:
First, capital allocation = the lifeline of trading.
I have always regarded position management as a matter of life and death.
The most stable strategy:
40% allocated to BTC / ETH as the main portfolio base.
30% allocated to projects with narrative, logic, and implementation (like the AI narrative sector at the end of last year).
30% left for sudden opportunities and high volatility altcoins.
During the crash last March, the market held the bottom line, and within application coins, two went against the trend and rose by 50%.
If I fully invest in one direction, that round I will exit.
Second, stop-loss = the brakes on your account.
I set my own rule: if a single coin drops over 12%, I will stop-loss unconditionally.
You need to understand, you are not just losing this trade, but 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 trying to recover, and 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.
Third, when the crowd is noisy, it's best to quietly reduce positions.
I always believe in one saying: 'The market doesn't lack buying points, it lacks your calm moments.'
At the end of 2021, even the convenience store owner downstairs was talking about Dogecoin. I went home and saw that the RSI was above 90.
Decisively reduced my position by 70% that day.
A few days later, the market crashed, and those who asked me if they should chase were all dumbfounded.
Trading coins is not about joining the frenzy; the hotter the trend, the closer the danger.
Four, the three technical signals I often use, simple and straightforward but practical.
1. Volume expansion
An increase must come with volume, at least 50% more than yesterday.
Otherwise, it's just a scam.
For example, the LTC I chose last week, on the day it broke 80, the volume doubled, and it rose by 42% in 5 days.
2. Bollinger Band rule
Lower band + closing, trial buy-in.
Upper band + opening, gradually taking profits.
At the beginning of this year, this is how I captured DOGE, with a swing of 80%.
3. MACD golden cross
Daily golden cross + above the zero line is my favorite offensive signal.
Last month's UNI surge was entered based on this point, yielding 35% in 10 days.
Fifth, let’s be honest:
I reviewed until 2 AM last night and filtered out two coins: volume expansion + Bollinger Band closing + MACD golden cross signals overlapping.
I made a profit of 2 million last year on DOT with this pattern.
Originally planned to only work with acquaintances, but too many people asked, so I opened up 10 more positions to ride the wave.
But it must be said in advance: no all-in, no chasing highs, and don't come if you don't set stop-losses.
You think making money relies on judgment, but it actually relies on execution;
You think you have no opportunity, but in reality, you have never held onto a real opportunity.
My account has increased, the money has arrived, and the path is clear, only then do I realize—
In this market, it's not about the market trends, it's about the strategy.
