Just received a bank notification that my card has increased by 800,000.
For me, this is not the first time withdrawing a large amount, but seeing the transfer record from three years ago on my phone: 'Deposit 80,000', I was still a bit moved.
In these years of playing in the crypto world, I have made money, lost money, and even blown up.
But one thing I am sure of: those who make money in this market have never relied on luck.
It relies on execution, discipline, experience— and a working trading system.
Today I will summarize the pitfalls I have encountered and the money I have made over the years into a few key points to share with you:
1. Capital allocation = trading lifeline
I have always regarded position allocation as life.
The most stable strategy:
40% allocate to BTC / ETH for a market base position,
30% layout in projects with narrative, logic, and practical application (like the AI narrative sector at the end of last year),
30% left for sudden opportunities and highly volatile altcoins.
During the crash in March last year, the market held the bottom line, and two application coins still increased by 50% against the trend.
If I were all in one direction, I would have exited.
2. Stop-loss = the brake of your account
I set a condition: if a single coin drops more than 12%, I will stop-loss unconditionally.
You need to know that 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 9,000.
He spent half a year filling the hole and ended up missing the bull run.
The first lesson in trading coins is not to make money, but to learn to control losses.
3. When the crowd is noisy, it's best to quietly reduce positions.
I have always believed in one saying: 'The market does not lack buying points, but lacks your calm moments.'
At the end of 2021, the convenience store owner downstairs was talking about Dogecoin. I went home and saw that the RSI was over 90.
I decisively reduced my position by 70% that day.
A few days later, the market collapsed, 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.
4. The three technical signals I often use, simple and brutal but practical
1. Increased volume
Price must increase with volume, at least 50% more than yesterday.
Otherwise, it's just a scam.
For example, the LTC I picked last week doubled in volume on the day it broke 80, resulting in a 42% increase in 5 days.
2. Bollinger Bands rule
Lower band + convergence, try a small position buy;
Upper band + widening, gradually taking profits,
This is how I caught DOGE at the beginning of this year, with an 80% swing.
3. MACD golden cross
Daily golden cross + above zero line is my favorite offensive signal,
Last month’s UNI wave was based on this, and I made 35% in 10 days.
5. Let’s be honest:
I reviewed until 2 AM last night and filtered out two coins: increased volume + Bollinger Bands convergence + MACD golden cross overlapping three signals.
This pattern made me a profit of 2 million on DOT last year.
I initially planned to only work with acquaintances, but too many people asked, so I added 10 more shares to take a wave.
But let me make it clear 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 fact, you have never seized a real opportunity.
The account has increased, the card has received money, and the path is clear, only then do I know—
In this market, what you earn is not the trend, but the strategy.
