Let me introduce myself briefly. I am De Ge. I entered the crypto world in 2014 with initial capital of less than 3 yuan. By leveraging altcoins and contracts, I have gone through ups and downs, accumulating profits over 10,000 times. I am now a professional trader in the cryptocurrency spot and futures market, having made over 20 million in the market in 2019 alone.
Although I joined in 2014, I only started to see real profits from 2019 as a professional trader. During these more than six years, I have grown from a small investor to a big one. Therefore, I understand the hearts of small investors best. Today, I share this valuable information not to show off, nor to write a personal autobiography, but to document my trading journey and share trading philosophies. I hope to help small investors in the crypto world avoid detours and achieve financial freedom as soon as possible.
1. About Returns: Suppose you have 1 million. When the return reaches 100%, your assets will reach 2 million. If you then lose 50%, it means your assets will return to 1 million. Clearly, losing 50% is much easier than gaining 100%.
2. About price fluctuations: If you have 1 million, and on the first day it rises 10% to 1.1 million, then on the second day it drops 10%, your assets will remain at 990,000. Conversely, if it drops 10% on the first day and then rises 10% on the second day, your assets will still be at 990,000.
3. About Volatility: If you have 1 million, 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 annualized return over six years is only 5.83%, even lower than the 5-year treasury bond's coupon rate.
4. About earning 1% daily: If you have 1 million, and you can earn 1% daily before exiting, then after 250 days, your assets could reach 12.032 million, and after 500 days, your assets could reach 145 million.
5. About achieving 200% annually: If you have 1 million, and if for five consecutive years you achieve a 200% return rate, then after five years your assets will reach 243 million. However, sustaining such high returns is very difficult.
6. About achieving a 10x return in ten years: If you have 1 million and hope to reach 10 million in ten years, 100 million in twenty years, and 1 billion in thirty years, then you need to achieve an annualized return of 25.89%.
7. About averaging down: Suppose you bought a coin at 10 yuan with 10,000 yuan, and now it has dropped to 5 yuan. If you buy another 10,000 yuan now, the cost you hold can be reduced to 6.67 yuan, not the 7.5 yuan you may have imagined.
Here are my summarized rules for trading coins, along with my personal insights:
For trading old coins, choose the top brands. * Top brands include not only BTC and ETH but also leading coins from different sectors, such as anonymous coin Monero.
When trading new coins, prefer big brands. * Big brands refer to those with high popularity and recognition, and also those with investments from well-known investment institutions, which help avoid junk coins.
Avoid touching domestic coins as much as possible. * Domestic coins are mostly subject to trends or short-term speculation, with relatively weak innovation, and there are many junk coins.
Quick in and out of outdated coins. * Old coins that have experienced a round of bull and bear markets often have many trapped positions above. After long-term horizontal trading, they may suddenly spike, but it's best to get in and out quickly. Instead of trading such underwhelming and low-popularity old coins, it's better to trade new coins.
In a bull market, go long and not short. * Go with the trend; although there may be pullbacks, it can rebound, so going long minimizes risk.
Hoarding coins in a favorable trend can create miracles. * Bull markets are suitable for holding coins; earning more coins means earning more money.
In a bear market, go short and not long. * In a bear market, one should go with the trend; though there may be rebounds, the likelihood of continued decline is greater. One should not easily go long before seeing a bottom.
Safety of funds is the most important. * In bear markets, one should focus on fiat currency; coin prices may drop by more than 90%, so ensure the safety of your funds.
Don’t care too much about the truth of the news. * News is always flying around, with both true and false information. One should not trust it too much, as the news seen often has a lag.
Everyone reacts to market trends. * If there is good news but no rise, it indicates a bearish outlook; if there is bad news but no drop, it indicates a bullish outlook. One cannot assume that good news means a rise, and bad news means a drop.
Blind guessing and following others leads to no growth. * Many apps now provide copy trading functions, automatically following the direction of big players' orders. This can easily lead to manipulation, and you won't learn the logic behind their trades, resulting in no growth.
Technology is the compass. * There are usually two types of people in the trading market: one is the news-driven type, who trades based on news, regardless of whether the news is from a small source or public. The other is the technical type, who judges the direction through candlesticks, volume-price relationships, and indicators. I personally believe that for well-traded coins like BTC, technology is the most effective tool. However, for coins that are not well-traded, especially early-stage coins, the depth of trading is poor, and news has a significant impact on their prices.
Do not expect luck. * It is impossible to always have good luck, so one should maintain a calm mindset.
Gains and losses do not seek a single success. * Trading is not like winning the lottery; it is a probability game. One must not be impatient for success, and special attention must be paid to stop-loss and take-profit.
Achieving the unity of knowledge and action is extremely difficult. * Knowing is easy, but acting is hard. Trading is a battle against one's own greed and fear, which is very difficult.
Practice only happens in action. * If you want to practice, why bother leaving home? Trading is enough; only by overcoming greed, anger, and ignorance can one achieve the unity of knowledge and action, being humble in poverty and not arrogant in wealth.
In the crypto world, 3,500 yuan is about 500 US dollars. Here’s a guide to violently rolling from 500 US dollars to 50,000 US dollars: a three-step breakdown of 'small capital leverage splitting methods +'.
(With position management formula +) This method has been practiced in my thousands of trades, with a win rate as high as 98%! Last month in March, I earned 120,000 US dollars in just one month!
1. Start-up phase (500 US dollars → 2000 US dollars): Use '10% position + 10x leverage' to tackle new coins.
Core logic: Always take only 50 US dollars (10% of the principal) to experiment, locking single-loss within 5 US dollars (stop-loss at 10%).
50 US dollars × 10x leverage = 500 US dollars position, target 20% increase (earn 100 US dollars).
In August 2025, HTX will launch BOT, using 50 US dollars with 10x leverage, buying the dip at 15%, rising 30% in 3 hours, earning 150 US dollars, rolling the position to 650 US dollars, and repeating 8 times to reach 2100 US dollars.
Avoid emotional trading.
2. Explosion phase (2,000 US dollars → 10,000 US dollars): Switch to '20% position + 5x leverage' to chase after whale hotspots.
In September 2025, DeFi 2.0 + leading FLX goes live, with a 400 US dollar principal and 5x leverage (2000 US dollar position), stop-loss at 5% (loss of 20 US dollars), target at 15% (gain of 60 US dollars), and a 40% increase in 3 days, directly earning 1600 US dollars, rolling the position to 3700 US dollars.
After a 10% profit, immediately move the stop-loss to the cost line to ensure no loss of principal.
3. Ultimate phase (10,000 US dollars → 50,000 US dollars): 'Hedging + ladder-style rolling positions' to guard against black swans.
After each profit, withdraw 30% to save in BTC spot + reinvest 70% according to 'position halving method'.
Operational Steps
After 11,000 US dollars arrives, use 3,000 US dollars to buy BTC (anti-dip anchor).
2. Split 7,000 US dollars into 7 trades, with 1,000 US dollars each for ETH perpetual + (2x leverage = 2,000 US dollars position).
3. Set a stop-loss of 3% (loss of 30 US dollars) and a take-profit of 5% (gain of 50 US dollars); 4 out of 7 trades can break 20,000 US dollars.
Fatal detail: When total assets fall by more than 15% (for example, from 30,000 to 25,500), immediately close 60% of the positions, and only restart when hitting the '20% profit protection line'.
Trap 1: Going all-in on new coins (there was someone who put 300 US dollars all-in on a meme coin, and within an hour, they were liquidated and owed 200 US dollars).
Trap 2: (Not stopping loss after a 15% drop, but instead averaging down, ultimately losing the principal).
Trap 3: Take small profits and run (earning 1,000 US dollars to 1,500 US dollars, withdrawing 1,200 US dollars, missing subsequent 10x explosion).
Having mixed in the crypto world for so many years, I found that the most effective strategy is actually very simple. The methods I have tested have a win rate of up to 90% (four-step strategy + three don'ts + six rules), which is simple and practical! I share it with everyone:
In 2025, within 3 months, I used a small account of 5,000 US dollars and earned more than 2 million US dollars using the following methods:
If you are currently at a loss, take a few minutes to carefully read this article!
Step one: Choose the right coins.
Open the daily chart, and first check the MACD indicator. Only select coins with golden cross signals (the MACD line crosses above the signal line), especially those that show the golden cross above the zero line. This type of signal has a higher success rate. In simple terms, this is the 'buy signal' that the market gives.
Step two: Set buy and sell based on moving averages.
Focus on one moving average——the daily moving average (for example, the 20-day moving average). The rules are only two sentences:
Hold online: When the coin price is above the moving average, feel free to hold;
Sell offline immediately: Once it falls below the moving average, clear the inventory immediately, don't hesitate.
This line is your 'safety belt'; if it falls below, stop-loss, simple and effective.
Step three: Position management.
1. Timing for adding positions: If the coin price breaks above the moving average, and the trading volume also increases and stabilizes above the moving average, you can consider adding to your position.
2. Sell in batches:
Increase of 40%: Sell 1/3 first;
Increase of 80%: Sell another 1/3;
Break the moving average: Sell everything left.
This can lock in profits and avoid being trapped.
After ten years of trading coins and earning 30 million, please accept these experiences:
Having struggled in the cryptocurrency market for ten years, I have grown from a novice to an investor with some achievements. This journey has been full of hardships and gains. Now having made 30 million, I sincerely thank these experiences. Looking back, I have so many insights to share with everyone:
1. Retail investors' common pitfalls need to be vigilant: Most retail investors often make the mistake of holding on stubbornly during losses without stop-loss, while taking profits too early during gains. In the crypto world, this type of trading is like setting a time bomb for oneself, easily turning hard-earned wealth into nothing.
2. Going with the trend is key: In investing, the most important thing is 'going with the trend'. When the coin price is in an upward trend, thinking of shorting during a pullback is simply self-destructive; if combined with leverage, it is undoubtedly a way to self-sabotage. Once the market trend is formed, it often has strong inertia, and operating against the trend is like a mantis trying to stop a cart.
3. Don't impose your will on the market: The market's direction is a comprehensive reflection of all participants' expectations, and it won't change due to one person's thoughts. Never impose your will on the market; we can only follow the market's rhythm, not try to make the market accommodate us.
4. Winning rate is not the key to profitability: Many people mistakenly believe that a higher trading win rate equals more profit, which is completely wrong. A trading system's profitability is unrelated to its opening win rate. Seeing others earn a few points may make you envious, but you don't know that they also have times of loss. What we should do is patiently wait for our own opportunities, rather than blindly following trends.
5. Not all bullish candles lead to profits: There are many types of bullish candles in the market, but one must understand that not every bullish candle will make you money. Some bullish candles may look tempting but are traps; impulsive entry may lead to being trapped.
6. Opportunities come to those who are patient: True investment experts, like excellent hunters, are never impatient. In a fluctuating market environment, frequent trading makes it difficult to earn big money; only by patiently waiting for clear trends can one strike effectively.
7. Diversify operational methods: In the secondary market, don’t think that there is only the operation of 'buying'. Closing positions, reducing positions, and staying out of the market are also important operational methods. Flexibly using these operations according to market conditions can better control risks and achieve profits.
8. Overcome your greed and fear: For retail investors with capital of several million, don’t always think that the market has 'main forces' or 'big players' 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 may hastily cut losses. All of these are not conducive to investment.
9. Finding longevity in the secondary market is difficult: In the secondary market, we often see some people rising to fame in a short time, becoming dazzling stars, but very few can maintain profitability and become 'longevity' stocks. Investing is a long marathon, not a short sprint; steady and continuous profitability is the key.
10. Most people in the market lose money: One must recognize a harsh reality: 70% of people in the market are losing money, and there aren't that many so-called experts. So, don't be blindly confident, thinking you can easily beat the market.
11. Respect the market and maintain rationality: In front of the market, no matter how much capital you have or how experienced you are, we are all like weak leeks. One must maintain rationality and respect the market. Those seemingly rich-quick opportunities often hide enormous risks; caution is always wise.
12. Correctly view trading gains and losses: Some trades may ultimately result in losses, but from the perspective of trading strategy and logic, they may be correct; conversely, some trades may make money but could be due to luck, which may be wrong from a long-term investment perspective. We should summarize experiences from every trade, not just focus on the gains and losses.
13. Risk control is crucial: In the investment process, rather than pursuing returns, it is more important to manage risk. Only by ensuring the safety of funds can one stand firm in the market and continuously achieve returns.
