I've seen too many retail investors run away after losing everything, and I've heard countless nonsense about 'value investing.' But for those who are down to their last pair of shorts, 'surviving first' is the top priority.
When I lost three years' worth of hard-earned money, I was worse off than you: staring at my account balance at 3 AM, with the leftover amount barely enough for a cup of milk tea, my hands shaking so much that I couldn't even hit the buttons on the trading platform correctly. But I didn't run away; I left 5000 units not on luck, but betting on my ability to overcome 'human weaknesses.'
My core view: The crypto circle's turnaround has never relied on how skilled one is; it's about using 'greed and fear' as tools for profit. Don't talk to me about holding for ten years while the big shots sip coffee waiting for a double; we need to seize the 'opportunity to cash out in 10 minutes.'
2. Three anti-human nature tips: I relied on this method to roll from 5000 to 50,000
1. Leading coin 'pullback hunting': EMA20 line is your lifeline
Don't blindly chase the fluctuations of mainstream leading coins! The real opportunity is to wait for it to 'quickly thrust and then pull back' (those who understand will understand) — at this moment, it's not about panicking and cutting losses, it's about waiting for signals:
Focus on just one leading coin (don't be greedy, too many and you can't manage them all)
Wait for it to pull back to the EMA20 line without breaking for 3 minutes
Open a light position with 5x leverage (more than that is giving away your head), make 5% and close immediately; even an extra second counts as a loss
I still remember that operation at 2 AM: my palms were all sweaty, my fingers trembled like they were shaking, but 10 minutes after the transaction, I reached my target, and at the moment of closing the position, I almost laughed out loud — not because I made money, but because I finally wasn't swayed by greed.
2. New coin 'ambush technique': picking up money in chaos is not gambling
The 10 minutes before a new coin goes live is 'a playground for madmen' and also 'a cash machine for smart people': depth is thin, volatility is high, but opportunities are concentrated.
My operations never chase up prices:
Limit order: set 1.5% lower than the current market price (equivalent to 'picking up bargains')
Once the transaction is made, immediately place a 3% take-profit order (never be greedy and wait longer)
Don't look at K-line fluctuations during the whole process, do whatever you need to do after placing the order
Some say this is gambling? Wrong! Gambling is closing your eyes and going all in, this is 'precise hunting based on calculated volatility' — 10 times steadier than those chasing highs to the peak, after all, 'buy low and sell high' is the essence of trading.
3. The most ruthless move: withdraw once you profit, lock in the gains!
This is where 90% of people trip up — I set a strict rule: whenever the account balance reaches 20,000 units, 50% must be withdrawn by 8 PM that evening and transferred to an offline storage tool to lock it up; no persuasion will work!
Don't believe the nonsense of 'just a little more profit and I'll withdraw' — I've seen too many people roll from 10,000 to 30,000 and then fall back to zero because of greed. Making money in the crypto circle is hard, but keeping it is even harder: human greed is 'infinite betting', and what we need to do is 'actively hit the brakes'.
3. Finally, a heartfelt statement: going solo = looking for death
The reason I was able to climb back up years ago was not only because of my execution but also because I had a group of 'comrades' who would pull you up when no one else was watching, reminding you to lock in profits; no matter how good the skills, they are useless without that.
The biggest enemy in the crypto circle is not the K-line, but your own 'desire to earn a little more'; turning the tables relies not on courage, but on hitting the right rhythm; stability relies not on luck, but on ironclad execution.
Don't wait until you've lost everything to regret it, and don't bear it alone; real profit is turning 'anti-human nature' into a habit and turning 'someone reminding' into confidence.
