Let me introduce myself briefly. My name is Qing Tian, I entered the cryptocurrency space in 2014 with initial capital of less than 10,000 yuan. Using altcoins and contracts as my tools, I have experienced many ups and downs, and have accumulated over 10,000 times profit to date, becoming a professional trader in the cryptocurrency spot and contract markets, earning over 20 million in the market in 2019 alone.
Although I joined in 2014, I only started making profits from 2019 as a professional trader. Over the past 6 years, I have grown from a small leek to a bigger one. Therefore, I understand the inner thoughts of small leeks very well. Today, I am here to share practical insights, not to show off or write a personal biography, but to document my trading journey, share trading philosophies, and hope to help small leeks in the cryptocurrency space avoid detours and achieve financial freedom sooner.
1. About returns: If you have 1 million, after achieving 100% return, your asset will reach 2 million. If you then lose 50%, it means your asset will go back to 1 million. Clearly, losing 50% is much easier than earning 100%.
2. About price fluctuations: If you have 1 million, and on the first day it rises by 10%, your assets will be 1.1 million. Then on the second day it falls by 10%, your assets will be reduced to 990,000. Conversely, if it drops by 10% on the first day and increases by 10% on the second day, the assets will still be 990,000.
3. About volatility: If you have 1 million, and earn 40% in the first year, lose 20% in the second year, earn 40% in the third year, lose 20% in the fourth year, earn 40% in the fifth year, and lose 20% in the sixth year, your remaining assets will be 1.405 million. The six-year annualized return rate is only 5.83%, even lower than the coupon rate of a five-year treasury bond.
4. About earning 1% daily: If you have 1 million, and you can earn 1% daily before exiting, then after 250 days, your assets can reach 12.032 million, and after 500 days, your assets will reach 145 million.
5. About achieving 200% annually: If you have 1 million, and if you can achieve a 200% return continuously for five years, your assets will reach 243 million after five years. However, such high returns are difficult to sustain.
6. About achieving tenfold in ten years: If you have 1 million, hoping to reach 10 million in ten years, 100 million in twenty years, and 1 billion in thirty years, you need to achieve an annualized return of 25.89.
7. About averaging down: If you bought a coin at 10 yuan with 10,000 yuan, and it has now dropped to 5 yuan, then buying another 10,000 yuan now means your average cost can be reduced to 6.67 yuan, rather than the 7.5 yuan you might have thought.
I have summarized my trading mantras, along with my own insights:
Choose top coins for trading * Besides BTC and ETH, it also includes leading coins in different sectors, such as the anonymous coin Monero.
Trading new coins should prefer big brands * A big brand refers to popularity and high visibility, and investment by well-known investment institutions helps avoid garbage coins.
Try to avoid domestic coins * Domestic coins are often more about following trends or short-term speculation, with relatively weak innovation and many being garbage coins.
Quick in and out of obsolete coins * Old coins that have gone through a round of bull and bear markets often have many trapped orders above. After long-term sideways trading, they may suddenly spike, but it's best to get in and out quickly. Instead of trading such underwhelming, low-interest old coins, it's better to trade new coins.
In a bull market, go long, not short * Going with the trend, although there will be pullbacks, it can bounce back, so going long has the least risk.
Going with the trend can create miracles * In a bull market, capitalizing on coins means earning more coins equals earning more money.
In a bear market, shorting is preferred over going long * In a bear market, one should go with the trend. Although there may be rebounds, the probability of continued declines is greater; do not easily go long before a bottom is seen.
Capital safety is the most important * In a bear market, one should be in fiat currency; the price of coins often falls by more than 90%, so ensure your capital safety.
Do not pay too much attention to the truth of news * News is always flying around with truth and falsehood; do not trust too much, and news seen from the media has latency.
Everyone reacts to the market * If there is good news but the market doesn't rise, expect a downturn; if there is bad news and the market doesn't fall, expect an upturn. Do not think good news means rising and bad news means falling.
Blindly guessing and following others leads to no growth * Many apps now provide following functions, automatically following the direction of big players' orders. This can easily be manipulated, and you won't learn the logic behind big players' orders, leading to no growth.
Technical analysis is the compass * There are typically two types of people in the trading market: one is the news type, who trades based on news, whether the news is private or public. The second is the technical type, who judges direction through candlesticks, volume-price relationships, and indicators. I personally believe that for trading robust currencies like BTC, technical analysis is the most effective tool. But for under-traded currencies, especially early-stage coins, where trading depth is poor, news has a significant impact on their prices.
Do not expect luck * You cannot always have good luck, so maintain a calm mind.
Gains and losses should not seek one-time success * Trading is not like winning the lottery; it's a probability game, and one should not be anxious for quick success, especially paying attention to stop losses and taking profits.
Unity of knowledge and action is extremely difficult * Knowing is easy, doing is hard. Trading is a battle against one's own greed and fear, which is very difficult.
Practice is in the action * If you want to practice, there is no need to become a monk; just trading is enough. Only by overcoming greed, anger, and ignorance can you achieve the unity of knowledge and action, being poor without restlessness and rich without arrogance.
In the cryptocurrency space, 3500 yuan is about 500U. A violent rolling guide from 500U to 50,000U: 3-step breakdown of 'small capital leverage fission+'
(Including position management formula +) I have practiced this method in over ten thousand trades, with a win rate of 98%! Last month in March, I also earned 120,000U in just one month!
1. Startup phase (500U → 2000U): Using '10% position + 10x leverage' to bite into new coins.
Core Logic: Test with only 50U (10% of capital) each time, locking single loss within 5U (stop loss at 10%)
50U × 10x leverage = 500U position, target 20% increase (gain of 100U)
In August 2025, HTX launched BOT, 50U leverage 10x, buying the dip after a drop of 15%, 30% increase in 3 hours, earning 150U, rolling to 650U, repeated 8 times to 2100U.
Avoid emotional trading
2. Explosive phase (2000U → 10,000U): Switch to '20% position + 5x leverage' to chase whale hotspots
In September 2025, launch DeFi 2.0 + leading FLX, 400U principal with 5x leverage (2000U position), stop loss at 5% (loss of 20U), target 15% (gain of 60U), 40% increase in 3 days, directly earning 1600U, rolling to 3700U.
After a 10% profit, immediately move the stop loss to the breakeven point to ensure no loss of capital.
3. Ultimate phase (10,000U → 50,000U): 'Hedging + ladder-style rolling' to prevent black swans.
After each profit, withdraw 30% to store BTC spot +, and re-enter 70% based on 'halving the position method'.
Operational steps
After receiving 11,000U, buy 3000U of BTC (anti-fall anchor)
2. Split 7000U into 7 orders, each 1000U to open ETH perpetual + (2x leverage = 2000U position)
3. Stop loss at 3% (loss of 30U), take profit at 5% (gain of 50U); 4 out of 7 trades profitable can break 20,000U
Critical detail: When total assets drop over 15% (e.g., from 30,000 to 25,500), immediately close 60%, and only restart after hitting the '20% profit protection line.'
Trap 1: Going all-in on new coins (someone once invested 300U in MEME coin, got liquidated in an hour and owed 200U)
Trap 2: (Not stopping losses after a 15% drop, but instead adding to positions, ultimately losing principal)
Trap 3: Running away after making small money (earning from 1000U to 1500U and withdrawing 1200U, missing a subsequent 10x explosion)
Having been in the cryptocurrency space for so many years, I have found that the most effective strategies are actually very simple, methods I have tested: with a win rate of up to 90% (four-step strategy + three don'ts + six phrases), simple and practical! Sharing with everyone:
In 2025, in just three months, I turned a small account of 5000U into over 2 million U using the following methods:
If you are currently losing, spend a few minutes to carefully read this article!
Step 1: Choose the right coins
Open the daily chart and first look at the MACD indicator. Only choose coins with golden cross signals (when the MACD line crosses the signal line from below), especially those that show a golden cross above the 0 axis; such signals have a higher success rate. In simple terms, this is the 'buy signal' given by the market.
Step 2: Use moving averages to determine buy and sell
Keep an eye on a moving average - the daily moving average (e.g., 20-day moving average). The rule is only two sentences:
Hold online: When the coin price is above the moving average, hold confidently;
Sell immediately offline: Once it breaks the moving average, liquidate immediately, don’t hesitate.
This line is your 'safety belt'; if it breaks, stop loss immediately. Simple and crude but effective.
Step 3: Position Management
1. Timing for adding positions: If the coin price breaks through the moving average, and the trading volume also increases and stabilizes above the moving average, consider adding to the position.
2. Sell in batches:
After a 40% increase: sell 1/3 first;
After an 80% increase: sell another 1/3;
Break the moving average: sell all remaining.
This can lock in profits and avoid being trapped.
After ten years of trading coins, I have gained 30 million; please accept these experiences:
Having struggled in the cryptocurrency market for ten years, growing from a novice to a successful investor, the journey has been full of hardships and rewards. I have earned 30 million, and I sincerely thank these experiences. Looking back, I have so many insights to share with everyone:
1. Common problems among retail investors to be wary of: Most retail investors often make the mistake of holding on when losing and not stopping losses, but taking profits too early when winning. In the cryptocurrency space, this way of operating is like setting off a time bomb for oneself, easily causing hard-earned wealth to vanish instantly.
2. Going with the trend is key: The most important thing in investing is to 'go with the trend'. When the coin price is in an upward trend, thinking about shorting during a pullback is simply self-destructive; if you add leverage, it is undoubtedly a recipe for disaster. Once a market trend is formed, it often has strong inertia, and going against the trend is like a mantis trying to stop a car.
3. Do not impose your will on the market: The market's direction is a comprehensive reflection of all participants' expectations, and it will not change because of one person's thoughts. Never impose your will on the market; we can only follow the market's rhythm rather than trying to make the market accommodate us.
4. Win rate is not the key to profit: Many people mistakenly believe that the higher the trading win rate, the more profit they will make, which is fundamentally wrong. The profit potential of a trading system is unrelated to the win rate at entry. Seeing others earn a few points can make one envious, without realizing that they also face losses.
5. Not all bullish candlesticks can be profitable: There are many types of bullish candlesticks in the market, but one must understand that not every bullish candlestick can make you money. Some bullish candlesticks may seem tempting but are actually traps; impulsively entering could easily lead to being trapped.
6. Opportunities come to those who wait: True investment experts, like excellent hunters, are never impatient. In a volatile market environment, frequent trading makes it hard to make big money; only patiently waiting for clear big opportunities can lead to success.
7. Diversify your operating methods: In the secondary market, do not think that 'buying' is the only operation. Closing positions, reducing positions, and going flat are also important operational methods. Flexibly applying these operations according to market conditions can better control risks and achieve profits.
8. Overcoming your own greed and fear: For retail investors with a few million in funds, do not always think that 'big whales' are targeting you. In fact, your biggest enemy is your own greed and fear. When greed takes over, you may blindly chase high prices; when fear strikes, you might rush to cut losses, neither of which is beneficial for investment.
9. Hard to find long-term players in the secondary market: In the secondary market, we often see some people rise to fame in the short term, becoming dazzling stars, but very few can maintain profits and become 'long-term players'. Investing is a long marathon, not a short sprint; steady and continuous profit is the way.
10. Most people lose money in the market: It is crucial to recognize a harsh reality that 70% of people in the market are losing money, and there aren't that many so-called experts. So, do not be blindly confident and think you can easily conquer the market.
11. Respect the market and maintain rationality: In front of the market, regardless of the amount of capital or the richness of experience, we are all like fragile leeks. Always maintain rationality and respect the market. Opportunities that seem to make people rich often hide significant risks, so it's better to be cautious.
12. Correctly view trading profits and losses: Some trades may ultimately result in a loss, but from the perspective of trading strategy and logic, they might be correct; conversely, some trades may make money but could be due to luck, which is fundamentally wrong from a long-term investment philosophy. We should summarize experiences from each trade rather than just focusing on profit and loss outcomes.
13. Risk control is crucial: In the investment process, it is more important to control risks than to pursue profits. Only by ensuring the safety of funds first can one stand firm in the market and continuously obtain profits.
