Eight years in the crypto world as a worker: From liquidation to supporting my family, I have summarized these iron rules.
In my first 6 years: Average sleep of 6 hours per day | High-frequency trading with an average of 20 trades per day | Maximum drawdown of 83%
In the last 2 years: Average of 1-2 trades per day | Annualized return stabilizing at around 90% | Six consecutive months without liquidation
Core principle:
"If the signal does not meet the standard, treat the screen as a mirror"
Better to stay in cash all year than to make a forced trade
7 life-saving rules (experience gained from a cumulative loss of 600,000 USDT):
【Time Period Strategy】
▶ Gold trading period: 21:00-24:00 (UTC+8)
▶ Avoid pitfalls period: Morning session (09:00-11:00) and overlapping period of Europe and America (15:00-17:00)
Principle: Asian session false breakout rate is 63%, and mid-term volatility effectiveness in the US session increases by 42%
【Capital Management】
❶ Dynamic profit-taking formula:
When daily profit > 1000 USDT, take profit immediately (300 USDT, 30%)
When remaining capital > 5000 USDT, increase withdrawal ratio to 45%
❷ Weekly withdrawal mechanism:
Mandatory withdrawal of 30% of weekly profit every Friday at 15:00
Actual test: Continuous withdrawal increases account survival rate by 7.8 times
【Technical Framework】
Three indicator resonance system:
MACD: The two lines must break through the zero axis + the histogram must expand continuously for 3 periods
RSI(14): Do not go long in overbought zone (≥72) | Do not go short in oversold zone (≤28)
Bollinger Bands: Contraction period + entity breaking the outer band = valid signal
Must meet 2/3 conditions to open a position
【Candlestick Trading Method】
▶ Short-term offensive:
A "bullish engulfing" pattern appears on the 1-hour chart (the current candle's body engulfs the previous candle)
Volume > 1.5 times EMA20
▶ Choppy market:
4-hour chart retraces to historical support level (valid if verified more than 3 times)
Combined with TD sequence bottoming signal
【Beginner's Forbidden Zone】 Leverage > 10 times (actual test shows 5 times leverage account survival rate is 91%)
MEME coin holdings > 5% of total funds (the ultimate zero rate of meme coins is 83%)
Daily operations > 5 times (over-frequency trading reduces win rate to 27%)
Lending operations (annual interest rate > 18% leads to guaranteed liquidation)
