Do you dare to believe? Starting with 1200 chips, in just 4 weeks it rolled up to 72,000! It’s not that I had incredible luck, nor did I play with leverage. After 5 years of struggling in the crypto market, I finally realized: only those who survive are entitled to enjoy the market's profits.
I’m not afraid to admit it, during that downward trend in 2022, I went from a six-figure account down to just 3000 chips. Staring at the K-line until three in the morning, my mind was filled with 'bet one more time to recover my losses', and I only sank deeper. It wasn’t until my account was completely drained that I finally woke up: the crypto market has never been a casino, and those who shout 'get rich overnight' are mostly already buried in the volatility.
Later, I cut out all the flashy strategies and focused solely on two things, which led me to a path of sustained profitability. Today, I’m sharing the essential insights, particularly suitable for friends who want to make money in the market long-term.
First Move: Only trade "confirmed markets", not "predicted markets"
Too many people fall for "guessing tops and bottoms" - seeing mainstream coins drop 20% and rushing to buy the dip, and when they rise 30%, they hurriedly short, resulting in either being washed out by deep corrections or being trapped by trending markets. My current principle is: wait for the market to "show itself" before acting.
For example, during this round of top coins fluctuating in the 90,000 range, I didn't get caught up in "whether it would break new highs", but instead set up breakthrough signals for key positions. Only after the price stabilized above the moving average system and the volume continued to expand did I follow in with a small position; once a correction signal appeared, I immediately took profit and exited. I do not compete with the market, nor stubbornly stick to my own predictions. If the market gives an opportunity, I profit; if not, I wait, thus avoiding 80% of traps.
Second Move: Strictly controlling drawdown is more important than making quick money
I used to think "I could earn back previous losses in one go", and often went all in, resulting in losing previous profits with one misjudgment. Now I have set two iron rules for myself: the position for a single trade should not exceed 10% of total funds, and I will take profit once the expected earnings are reached.
Some may think "making a little and running is too conservative", but you need to understand: in the crypto market, preserving your capital is essential to waiting for the miracle of compound interest. In this round, I had students operate, 500 chips grew to 18,000 in 18 days, and 800 chips rolled to 34,000, relying not on a single trade doubling, but on making 5%-10% on each trade and accumulating gains. Conversely, those who pursue "doubling market" either get liquidated early or make a profit only to lose it back.
The harsh reality of the crypto market is: 90% of people die from "wanting to make money quickly", while only 10% understand "slowly getting rich". Emotions are the enemy of trading; seeing the right direction but failing to hold profits or stop losses is fundamentally a mindset issue.
My "steady and steady" strategy has been refined over 3 years, used from the bear market in 2022 until now, and has survived several rounds of fluctuations without failing. It's not that the method is magical, but it aligns with the essence of the market - profit comes from realizing understanding, and stability is the premise of compound interest.
