Two years ago, my small studio couldn't sustain itself and dissolved, leaving only 2300U after settling accounts.
—— My former partner constantly flaunted "10x leverage trading," but I personally saw him trading SOL with 8x leverage.
In three days, he lost the 50,000 U I had prepared to restart, and even the rent had to be pooled with friends.
I didn't dare to follow the trend and split the 2300U into 5 parts: two 400U for day trading, specifically focusing on BTC and ADA pullbacks;
one 500U for swing trading, waiting for the weekly MACD golden cross before acting; two 600U locked in cold wallets, with 300U reserved for buying more and 300U kept as "emergency funds."
I didn't expect to hit a BTC pullback in the first week. I used 400U to buy at 23,000 and sold at 24,500, making a profit of 261U on that single trade, bringing my account directly to 2561U.
In the second week, ADA rose from 0.48 to 0.55, and another 400U made me 583U, pushing my account to 3144U;
in the third week, there was a small market for ETH, where my swing trade of 500U earned 3920U, and my account soared to 7564U; even I was stunned by this speed.
—— Where are the skills? It’s just that when others shouted "BTC is going to 30,000," I quietly took profits at 27,000; when others were cutting losses and cursing "the bear market has no salvation," I used my buying funds to buy ETH in two batches.
From 7564U to 52,000 U, I have been sticking to this "foolish method."
Some laughed at me, saying I was scared of losing money in entrepreneurship and didn't dare to gamble in the crypto world, but they hadn't seen my former partner crying in a café.
—— After he blew up trading SOL, he couldn't even gather enough severance pay for his employees. Once my account broke 50,000 U, I became even more cautious:
I set up scripts to prevent slip-ups, only trading mainstream coins like BTC, ETH, ADA, and I tightened my stop-loss and take-profit settings to the max, even if it meant earning just enough for a cup of milk tea, I would never hold onto a losing position.
After all these years of struggles, I finally understood: entrepreneurship and the crypto world are the same, going all-in is gambling with your life, diversifying is leaving a way out for your capital;
Don't bet on one-sided markets, calculate the winning rate of "buy low, sell high" like you would calculate costs; maintain a steady mindset, whether in business or trading, you can go far.
The crypto world is never short of opportunities; what it lacks are those who can control their greed even after suffering losses.
—— Just like me, slowly rolling with 2300U, without using leverage, I still made it back to 52,000 U, which feels much more secure than risking it all with leverage. @Yaya丫
