Who understands, family! In the first two years after entering the crypto space, I lost so much that my hair fell out in clumps, crying all night while staring at the K-line, pouring all my salary and savings into it, and I couldn't even afford to add sausage to my instant noodles! Until I figured out these 8 'down-to-earth but incredibly useful' methods, I now steadily make over 50% profit every year, and last year I bought the dream car I had been thinking about. The key is that I sleep well and stay calm!
Today I brought out the ultimate life-saving tricks that are all experiences built from real gold and silver. Newbies can follow this to avoid 3 years of detours, and veteran players can also fill in the gaps—after all, the market is always there, and the principal is only once!
1. Patience is key: in a market without signals, it’s better to binge-watch dramas and lie flat.
In the past, I was 'itchy hand syndrome', wanting to place orders as soon as the market opened, regardless of whether the K-line pattern was right, always thinking 'what if it goes up'? The result was that I always bought high and got trapped, cutting losses until I was numb.
Now I stick to one principle: unless I see the 'confirmation pattern' I practiced thousands of times, I won’t touch the order button, even if I spend a day on TikTok or binge-watch ten episodes! It’s like blind dating; if I don’t meet someone with compatible values, forcing it will only lead to mutual torture — the crypto market doesn’t lack opportunities, but it lacks the determination to control your hands.
2. Nighttime golden window: after the dealer finishes, the market doesn't act.
The daytime market is like a 'large performance stage'! Fake news is everywhere, the dealers are washing the market back and forth, and the K-lines look like an ECG; beginners can hardly grasp the routine.
I've figured out the pattern: after 9 PM, the dealer 'goes off work for dinner', and capital movements decrease, revealing the true market situation. At this time, brew a cup of tea, open TradingView, and analyze slowly; support and resistance levels become clear, and the winning rate doubles — after all, no one is acting anymore, and the truth is easier to grasp!
3. Profit must be taken: earn 1000, transfer 300 first, and treat the rest as 'entertainment money'.
I've seen too many people fall because of 'greed'! There was a fan who earned 5000U but refused to run, thinking of earning a bit more to buy a bag. As a result, the market turned sharply down, and in the end, he lost 2000U, crying to me for a review.
My iron rule: as long as the profit is credited, immediately transfer 30% to the bank card! Earn 1000U, transfer 300; earn 5000U, transfer 1500; spend the rest freely — even if I lose later, at least I already have real money in my pocket, so I won’t panic. Remember: money is what you take, numbers are what float in the account!
4. Three major indicators filter signals: use TradingView correctly to avoid 80% of pitfalls.
Beginners should not blindly look at K-lines! I always keep TradingView on my phone; before placing an order, I must check three 'mirror signals', and none can be missing:
MACD: Like a couple holding hands and breaking up, a golden cross means 'you can charge', and a dead cross means 'run quickly'. The cross signals are 10 times more reliable than just looking at ups and downs.
RSI: Overbought above 70 means 'everyone is crazy; it’s time to sell', while oversold below 30 means 'no one wants it; it can be bottomed out', avoiding chasing highs and cutting lows.
Bollinger Bands: a squeeze means 'the market is going to stir up trouble', and an expansion means 'the trend is coming'. Follow the range and don't do foolish reverse moves.
I never look at just one indicator; I place orders only when three signals resonate. This tactic has helped me avoid countless false breakouts and fake markets!
5. Dynamic stop-loss technique: sit and watch the market to 'move up the stop-loss'; set a 'safety line' when going out.
Stop-loss is not a rigid rule; you must learn to 'perform magic'! In the past, I set fixed stop-losses and got washed out after earning a little. Later, I figured out two strategies:
Sitting in front of the computer watching the market: earn 100U and raise the stop-loss line by 50U; earn 200U and raise it by another 100U. Repeat the 'nesting', and even if the market adjusts, you can still run with profits.
When going out to walk the dog or on a date: directly set a 5% hard stop-loss! No matter if the dealer crashes the market at midnight or boosts it, first protect your principal — previously, I didn’t set a stop-loss and lost 30% during a midnight crash, and now I dare not be lazy anymore.
6. Friday is dividend day: no matter how much you earn, 30% must be forcibly transferred.
This is a habit I've maintained for 8 years. Even if I earn 100U, I must transfer 30U to my bank card by 3 PM on Friday! Don’t underestimate this 30%; over time, it becomes the power of compound interest — the money for my car last year was largely saved from the 'dividend funds' accumulated weekly.
Crypto investment is not gambling; it should be treated as a long-term career. Forcibly taking profits helps you maintain rationality. Even if the subsequent market worsens, you’ll have a 'safety cushion' and won't panic.
7. Choose the right K-line cycle: for quick money, focus on 1 hour, switch to 4 hours for sideways.
Don't get stuck on one K-line cycle! If you want to make quick money, focus on the 1-hour chart; when two consecutive bullish candles and indicators resonate, go for it, and take profits when you see good results. But when you encounter 'constipation market' (sideways fluctuations), don’t stubbornly stick to it; quickly switch to the 4-hour chart to find support levels — it's like looking for a bathroom; if you stare at one spot, you won't find it, but change your angle and there will be signs, efficiency doubles!
I now rarely waste time during sideways markets; either I change the cycle or directly close the software, spending my time researching patterns, which is much more effective than blindly waiting.
8. Three major life and death lines: touching them will definitely result in losses; beginners, remember this!
These three points are the deepest pitfalls I have ever encountered, and they are now etched in my mind:
Leverage should never exceed 3 times! Beginners should directly practice with 3 times leverage; high leverage is 'suicidal investment'. I've seen too many people using 20 times leverage, and with a small fluctuation, they go bankrupt, losing all their principal;
Don't touch the 'scam coins' in air coins and meme coins! Those coins with bizarre names and no technical support rise quickly but fall even faster; they are just tools for the dealer to harvest profits. I once followed the trend and bought them, losing everything;
Place a maximum of 3 orders per day! Like eating sunflower seeds, it’s impossible to stop, and you will definitely lose — too many orders lead to chaotic judgments and emotional trading. I used to place 10 orders a day, but my earnings didn't cover my losses. Now I limit myself to 3 orders, which is much more stable.
Lastly, a heartfelt reminder: in crypto investment, the more eager you are to make money, the easier you are to be harvested; the more calmly you stabilize, the more your wallet bulges. The market has opportunities every day, but your principal and chances may only come a few times.
