Trading cryptocurrency is not gambling? Stop deceiving yourself!
I’ve been rolling in the cryptocurrency market for eight years, and I’ve seen too many people crying at the exchange gate—some have gambled away their wedding house down payment to zero, while others have rolled from 10,000 to 1 million using a position management strategy.
Today I will reveal the 6 life-saving iron rules and the disruptive rolling strategy; those who don’t understand should exit early, while those who do can survive an additional three years in the storm!
One, don't run out of bullets: surviving is more important than getting rich!
Scene of the bloodbath: In the 2023 bull market, a retail investor put all 200,000 U into a certain MEME coin, shouting, 'Let’s gamble, a villa by the sea', only to see the market maker drop the price by 80%, and he didn’t even have the courage to cut losses.
Survival rule:
Divide your capital into 3-5 parts, build positions in batches (for example, divide 100,000 U into 3 times, each time 30,000 U).
Case: My apprentice used 50,000 U last year to buy PNUT in three batches, adding to his position every 15% drop; in the end, his cost was 40% lower than retail investors, and after the rebound, he doubled his investment.
Remember: Bull markets do not lack opportunities; what is lacking is capital to survive until opportunities arise!
Two, when good news is fully released, it turns into bad news: the market makers are just waiting for you to be the bag holder!
Retail trap: A certain coin announces 'cooperation with a giant', and the community instantly boils, retail investors rush in overnight, only to see a 40% drop on the day the good news is released.
Counter-kill technique:
Ambush three days before good news is announced, clear positions when the news floods (market makers plan half a year in advance, retail investors are always one step behind).
Case: A week before a certain AI coin was officially announced in 2024, I ambushed, and on the day of the announcement, it opened 80% higher, directly offloading and harvesting the market makers' lifting funds.
Warning: When even the market aunties know the good news, it's definitely a signal for the market makers to unload!
Three, the pre-holiday drop curse: more accurate than a menstrual cycle!
Iron rule reappearance: One week before the 2024 Spring Festival, BTC dropped from 80,000 U to 60,000 U, 90% of retail investors added positions before the holiday and got trapped; on Christmas 2025, ETH dropped sharply from 4,000 U to 2,800 U.
Operation guide:
Start reducing positions 10 days before the holiday, leaving 20% of the position to watch.
The first week after the holiday must have a golden pit, the best time to pick up cheap chips!
Four, don't panic during a crash: volume determines life and death!
Retail investor's misconception: holding on during a slow price drop, saying 'this is just a wash'; panicking and cutting losses during a rapid drop, resulting in selling at the floor price.
Truth rule:
Slow decline (volume shrinking): Run quickly, the market maker is cooking the frogs in warm water!
Volume surge crash: Don’t rush to cut losses; the next day there is a high probability of a rebound (market makers wash the positions).
Case: In 2024, LTC crashed 30%, but volume increased 5 times; I decisively increased my position, and on the third day, it rebounded 25%, making a 'double my money'.
Five, stop loss is a life-saving pill: holding on only leads to zero!
Bloody lesson: Brother held onto FTT with 500,000 U in 2022, from 30 U to 1 U without cutting losses; now he trembles at the words 'stop loss'.
Iron rule execution:
Floating loss warning of 5% (reduce position by 30%), 10% forced sell-off (keep 70% of capital for recovery).
Tool assistance: Use the exchange's 'conditional order' to set automatic stop losses to avoid emotional control.
Counterintuitive logic: Stop loss is not admitting a loss, but trading a 10% loss for a 90% chance of survival!
Six, three moves to eat the world: the simpler, the more profitable!
Eight years of practical experience:
Volume-price coordination: Only follow up when breakthrough key resistance with increased volume (e.g., BTC breaking 100,000 U); a rise on decreasing volume is all a sham.
Trend following: Only trade coins that are in a bullish arrangement on weekly and daily charts (moving averages diverging upwards); don’t even take a bear arrangement for free.
Strict stop loss: Calculate 'how much to cut if I lose' before opening a position, then think about 'how much to take profit'.
Rolling for huge profits secret: Why can some people roll from 10,000 to 1 million?
Wrong rolling: Immediately increase position after earning 10%, only to have one pullback swallow all profits (a common retail operation).
Correct rolling - Pyramid principle:
Bull market usage:
❶ Buy 20% position for the first time (e.g., 10,000 U to buy ETH), after a 20% increase, use profits to increase position by 10% (earn 2,000 U plus 200 U);
❷ If it rises another 20%, use new profits to increase position by 5%; the position should get smaller like a pyramid as it rises (to control risk).Bear market usage:
Buy 10% more on a 10% drop, buy 5% more on another 10% drop; the lower it goes, the less you add (to avoid a bottomless pit).
Case: In the 2021 bull market, I rolled over 10,000 U into BTC, adding positions in a pyramid style every 20% increase; after 10 months, it grew to 870,000 U, while most retail investors who were fully invested faced liquidation during the pullback.
The cryptocurrency market is a slaughterhouse, not a charity!
If you are still fully invested, chasing highs and cutting losses, now exit while you can still keep your shorts!
If you want to survive, from today onwards:
✅ Divide your capital into 5 parts, always keep some bullets;
✅ Retreat before good news materializes, enter after bad news is fully released;
✅ Use 'pyramid rolling' instead of 'gambler's style increasing positions'.
In the cryptocurrency world, only a few people make money, and this small group relies not on luck, but on anti-humanity discipline! Let me put it this way today: those who can strictly enforce these 6 iron rules will surely make a fortune in 3 years; those who are stubborn will wait to be harvested by the market makers!
