The crypto world often discusses technical analysis and project fundamentals, but rarely pays attention to the underlying logic of 'trading behavior itself.' Those who have made a name for themselves in the crypto world with small funds share a core understanding with the trading philosophy of the 'God of Retirement'—it is not about luck, but a profound understanding of the essence of trading.
1. The 'counterintuitive truth' of trading in the crypto world: low win rate ≠ not making money
The strategy of '7 losses, 2 draws, and 1 win' is more extreme in the cryptocurrency world. For instance, chasing the rise of new hot coins may seem to have a low win rate, but the strong volatility in the crypto market amplifies the risk-reward ratio. Taking a new AI concept coin as an example, entering when it breaks through a key resistance level, if it fails, stop loss promptly (controlling losses within 5%), and if successful, it could yield a 30%+ increase.
Most people focus on individual wins and losses, neglecting the overall returns of the 'strategy system.' In high-frequency trading in the crypto world, consistently executing the 'small losses, big gains' model far exceeds occasionally guessing the market correctly.
2. The core barrier of small funds: it’s not technology, but 'anti-humanity discipline.'
The stop-loss iron rule of the 'God of Retirement' is even more valuable in the crypto world. The 24-hour trading and the normalization of wild price fluctuations make emotions easily out of control. For example, holding a certain altcoin that falls below the stop-loss line, yet due to the 'wait for rebound' mentality, the trader holds the position and ultimately faces liquidation.
The advantage of small funds is 'flexibility,' but most people misuse it as 'arbitrariness.' True discipline is: setting a clear exit mechanism (such as leaving unconditionally when breaking below the support line), executing trades like a robot, rather than being driven by FOMO (fear of missing out) or FUD (fear, uncertainty, and doubt).
3. The hidden 'profit effect password' in the crypto world: it’s not about finding a dark horse, but creating a trend.
The 'God of Retirement's understanding of the 'profit effect' has evolved into 'building emotional consensus' in the crypto world. When a certain sector (like DePIN, RWA) has leading coins, funds will pour in due to 'profit demonstration,' forming a trend. For example, when a certain DePIN project surges, it attracts following investors, pushing up the entire sector.
Small funds do not need to predict trends but should become 'followers' of the trend. However, it is necessary to distinguish between true trends and false hotspots—true trends have sustained capital inflow (observe on-chain trading activity and exchange capital flow), while false hotspots rely solely on short-term speculation, lacking fundamental support.
The essence of survival in the crypto world is 'anti-instinct cultivation.'
The trading philosophy of the 'God of Retirement' transplanted to the crypto world focuses on breaking retail investor thinking: not getting obsessed with predicting rises and falls, but concentrating on the execution of the trading system; not being swayed by emotions, turning trading into 'disciplined operation.' The temptations and traps in the crypto world are numerous and deep; the key for small funds to succeed is never about finding a hundredfold coin, but rather establishing your own 'anti-instinct trading system' amidst the volatility. What is the strictest trading discipline you have executed in the crypto world? Perhaps that is the beginning of breaking the deadlock.
