If you have 10,000 in capital, a very simple and not exaggerated method can earn you 1 million. I have traded crypto for 10 years, entering the market with 68,000 saved from my job, and now my assets exceed 20 million. I quit my job to trade crypto full-time, relying solely on trading for my livelihood, focusing only on spot trading and occasionally playing contracts.
Today, I will share the 'ultra-short-term trading skills+' and how to no longer fear losses in crypto trading. Although I haven't achieved some people's goal of turning 10,000 into two small targets, I am very satisfied and stable, dreaming that by the end of this year my account can exceed 100 million, and next year I can have more capital to earn more money.
If you are determined to make trading crypto your primary profession, this article will be your stepping stone, very short yet profound! After 10 years of trading crypto, the core trading secrets that allow me to maintain stable compound interest.
In the crypto world, everyone has heard the story of 'turning 10,000 into 1 million', but the reality is that most people not only fail to make money but are instead completely harvested by the market.
We don't have insider information, funding advantages, or trading experience that can withstand several rounds of bull and bear markets. What we can rely on is only recognizing the market, understanding ourselves, establishing rules, and controlling emotions.
The crypto world is not a shortcut to wealth, but a battlefield where only a few survive.
1. Recognize the market first: This is a world where uncertainty reigns.
The essence of the market is not a technical game, but a complex probability game.
You must accept that no matter how brilliant a strategy is, it cannot consistently make profits in all environments. Any trading system claiming a '100% win rate' is a scam.
What we can do is not to defeat the market, but to adapt to it, using discipline to combat uncertainty.
Profits and losses are two sides of the same coin: the way you make money determines the depth of your losses. Heavy betting: it could double, or it could go to zero. High leverage for rebounds: you might get a bite, but if you get the direction wrong just once, it's a direct bankruptcy. Averaging down against the trend: sometimes it can recover, but in a one-sided trend, it is slow suicide.
Those who can truly survive as traders are the ones who repeatedly bet in the 'probability advantage' using a systematic approach—earning more when right and losing less when wrong. 2. Recognize yourself again: you are not a genius, nor are you invincible.
Most people in the market do not die from ignorance, but from self-righteousness: obsessed with predictions: trying to catch every top and bottom. Technical obsession: frantically piling on indicators while ignoring position and risk control. Superstitious luck: attributing profits to oneself and blaming the market for losses. Overconfidence: after a series of profitable trades, thinking one is invincible.
Remember: discipline > technique, execution > inspiration, stability > excitement.
The truly profitable trades are often boring.
3. The underlying logic that ordinary people can also make money
You don't need to become a genius; you only need to establish a trading system that can be replicated and adhered to.
1) Capital management: Only use a small portion of total capital for each position, lightly testing the waters. Confirm the trend before adding more; do not start by heavily betting. Total position should not exceed 30%, leaving room for maneuver.
2) Cycles suitable for oneself: Short-term: for those with strong market feel and quick reactions. Swing: for those who can endure fluctuations and ride trends. Long-term: for those who understand macroeconomics and fundamentals, as they have a better chance of success.
3) The trading system should be simple, executable, and replicable. Trend strategy: follow the trend, do not increase positions against the trend. Swing strategy: buy high and sell low, stop losses should be quick. Arbitrage strategy: cross-platform price differences, small fluctuations for arbitrage, with high win rates but slow.
4) Stop-loss and take-profit must be executed mechanically. Set the stop-loss line before entering, and cut positions at the designated point. Take profits can be done in batches, without greed or cowardice; just capturing the mid-range movement is enough.
5) Emotional management: reduce the frequency of monitoring the market, avoid impulsive trading, accept losses, do not double down after losses, do not inflate after wins, keep a trading journal, continuously review and optimize the system. 4. The key to truly surviving: mindset and compound interest.
The hardest thing to defeat in the crypto world is not the market, but one's own greed and fear.
What you should do is not 'ten times in a year', but rather stable annualized returns + strict stop-loss + not being eliminated by the market.
Don't underestimate the matter of 'being alive', as compound interest is the only way for retail investors to compete with institutions: annualized 30%, in 10 years it's 20 times, annualized 50%, in 10 years it's 57 times, doubling in one year, going bankrupt in the second year, results in zero.
But if you accidentally incur a loss—
Final advice: Don't aim to become a 'legend'; please strive to be a 'survivor'.
In the crypto world, legendary stories belong to a very few, while the vast majority of winners are ordinary people who can survive in the long market.
Make fewer mistakes, execute more, frequently review, and maintain rationality and patience.
The market is always changing, but the rules do not. Your only goal is: in this great sifting of sand, do not be washed away. If you feel lost, consider saving this article as the starting point for your trading journey. Not for becoming rich, but to always stay in the game.
Let's encourage each other.
There are many ways to trade crypto, but not all methods can be learned. We all hope to achieve good results using the simplest methods, but friends in the crypto world do not fail to find good coins; they just think too complicatedly!
Trading is simply about doing four things well: selecting assets, buying points, selling points, and managing position. Traders need to have an independent trading system to execute these four actions. In trading practice, the ABC trading strategy+ has stable win rates, is simple and easy to understand.
(1) Source and basic connotation of the strategy
The ABC trading strategy is an interpretation based on the author's self-developed abcd core trading theory from the teaching. The teacher's trading method works seamlessly in the A-share market, while Lele has expanded this theory to fit the characteristics of crypto trading. The abcd core trading theory incorporates the essence of Dow Theory, Wave Theory, Turtle Trading Rules, Davaas Box Theory, trading psychology, and more.
Figure 1 shows a classic upward trend. The underlying logic is that the bottom rises, and the upward trend continues.
Figure 2 shows a classic downward trend. The underlying logic is that the top decreases, and the downward trend continues.
The movements of any trading asset's K-line are a continuous repetition and superposition of these two classic patterns. A deep understanding of the following two classic patterns is the basic essence of mastering the ABC trading strategy.
(2) Buy and sell points
The ABC strategy focuses on right-side trading, pursuing a high win rate without chasing extreme profits. It advocates for building positions in batches, taking profits in batches, and stopping losses in batches, maximizing risk dilution.
Taking Figure 1 as an example, the buy points appear at X and Y, with the buying feature at point X being 'four in' (the closing price exceeds the highest price of the left 4 K-lines), and the buy feature at point Y being that the closing price exceeds point B. There are two stop-loss points, the first is 'two out' (the current K-line closing price is lower than the lowest price of the left two K-lines), and the second is point C, with a total stop-loss at this point. The ABC trading strategy allows for a certain position on the left side, with the key being to control position and stop-loss.
In practical application to Figure 3, it has formed an upward ABC structure. Arrow 1 is the 'four in' buy point (the buy points X and Y described in Figure 1 overlap in practical application in Figure 3). The two stop-loss points are the 'two out' and point C that may appear after arrow 1.
Note: 'Four in, two out' also comes from the teaching.
