These 8 iron rules helped me roll from 1000U to 300,000U
The survival rules for small investors: Catch 1 wave daily, never fully invested under 100K, making a profit once during a big market movement is enough!
• Reject high-frequency trading (more than 3 times a day will definitely lead to loss)
• Position ≤ 50% (leave some bullets for averaging down)
• Example: The ETH waterfall market in 2024, shorting with 5% position, took 3 hours to gain 30 times
2. Good news becomes bad news: The art of running fast after major good news = escape top warning!
• Didn’t sell on the day of policy/project good news? Must sell on the next day's high open!
• Beware of “news turning into a sickle”
3. News + holidays: A god's view in advance for trading cryptocurrencies, first check the calendar!
• Must reduce positions on the 10th of each month (US CPI data day)
• Clear contracts 48 hours before Chinese New Year/US Thanksgiving! Extreme case: On the day of the FTX crash in 2023, full position traders had a liquidation rate of over 90%
4. Medium to long-term: Light position guerrilla warfare
“5% position to conquer the world”
• Set stop loss 5% below support (to prevent false breakouts)
• Take profits in batches at 50% gains (refuse greed)
My holding table: BTC dollar-cost averaging position only accounts for 3%, yet annualized returns outperform 90% of heavy investors
5. Short-term core: Fast, accurate, and ruthless + empty position philosophy
Today “15-minute candlestick + KDJ golden cross = best hitting zone”
• Trend indicators: RSI > 70 short, < 30 long (harvesting against human nature)
• In sideways markets, stay out; it’s top-level self-discipline (shutdown for safety when daily volatility < 2%)
6. Volatility rules: The time-space code of slow rise and fast fall
“Rise like a snail, fall like an avalanche!”
• Slow rising market: Retracement must break previous lows (shorting signal)
• Rapid falling market: Rebound does not exceed previous highs
January 2025 SOL rapid drop case: 40% drop in 1 hour, rebound only lasted 18 minutes
7. Stop loss: Dignity is more important than money
• “Cut immediately if the direction is wrong, hesitating for one second loses 10%”
• Fixed stop loss method: 3% of capital is the red line
• Dynamic stop loss method: After 50% profit, must run if retracement is 20%
> Blood and tears lesson: 2024 anti-single ADA long position, lost half a year’s profit in 3 days
8. Technical trading bible: 15-minute line + KDJ
Q “The microscope of short-term traders”
• KDJ golden cross + volume breakout: Go all in!
• MACD top divergence + shrinking volume: Run away
