When I first entered this circle in 2018, I was 36 years old, working in game promotion in Changsha.
My monthly salary was less than 5K, and after saving for a year, I managed to scrape together 20,000 yuan to enter the market.
On my first trade, I invested in XRP and made three times my money. At that moment, I thought I had 'understood the way.'
As a result, on my second all-in on a certain altcoin, I was directly cut in half and was completely stunned for three months.
In the past few years, I've shifted from long-term to short-term, from studying fundamentals to purely looking at candlesticks.
My style has changed countless times. Looking back, it's actually about continuously trialing, reviewing, until gradually stabilizing.
Now my account has surpassed seven figures. To be honest, I didn't rely on insider information or cling to anyone powerful.
I rely on three fundamental survival principles:
First: If you make a wrong call, run; it's not shameful to run fast.
In the past, I stubbornly believed that 'the market would come back.' Later, I realized that the market doesn't care about your beliefs.
If you're wrong, cut your losses. Trades driven by emotions will only trap you deeper.
Second: Don't get carried away; emotional trades are poison.
The biggest loss I had was when I stubbornly wanted to recover after losing three trades in a row, and ended up blowing up my account.
After that incident, I set a rule: if I make two consecutive mistakes, I must take a forced break, shut down the computer, and lock my phone to avoid giving myself the chance to mess up.
Third: The market values discipline, not cleverness.
I've seen many technically skilled people end up with nothing. It's not that they can't analyze; it's that they lack rules.
When the market is good, everyone makes money, but when the wind changes, the first to fall are those without risk control.
To this day, the thing I am most skilled at is: repeating simple tasks well, without adding drama or performing.
Some people say I've become 'Buddha-like'; in fact, I've just ingrained the two words 'stay steady' into my trading system.
In this circle, to win, it's not about making 100 times on a single trade,
but about not flipping over on 100 trades.
The cryptocurrency space has never lacked opportunities; what it lacks is you, who can survive.
