1. Why can people who don’t understand the industry still make money by dollar-cost averaging Bitcoin?
I have figured it out: their behaviors completely exclude human emotional interference.
When it comes to investing, getting involved with subjective emotions can be fatal. Swayed by market panic to cut losses, pushed by FOMO to chase highs, profits will only get thinner, even leading to devastating losses.
The father of quantitative trading, Simons, relied on macro fundamental research early on and did not earn any money for 13 years; later, he turned to mathematical models, completely eliminating human emotions, achieving an annual return of 64%, far exceeding Buffett’s 20%. This is the answer: emotion is the biggest enemy of investment.
2. Those who can make money in the crypto world are all doing the same thing - blocking out emotions.
The paths to making money in the crypto world are varied, but the core logic is highly consistent: replace emotions with rules.
Coin hoarders: No matter if the price goes up or down, they regularly buy Bitcoin, not looking at charts or news, holding for at least two cycles. They may not understand the technology, yet can outperform 90% of the “experts”.
Trader: What to buy, how much to sell, where to set profit and stop-loss points, all according to plan. No chasing highs, no bottom fishing, and definitely not following the trend because “others are buying.”
Contract player: Fixed opening position ratio, stop-loss line, and profit point. Withdraw profits when in the green, stop when losing continuously. Never hold onto positions, never use high leverage, and never open positions based on feelings.
Airdrop chaser: Regardless of whether airdrops are happening, mechanically completing tasks, switching to the next if this one doesn’t work, without complaints or discouragement.
Conversely, those who buy and see prices drop, or sell and see prices rise, are often blinded by the thoughts of ‘fear of missing out’ or ‘wanting to get rich quickly’. Remember: when you think “everyone else is making money, I can’t miss out,” that trade is likely to be cut.
3. My ten-year practical strategy: From 300U to 400 million, relying solely on “simple methods”
In my 10 years of trading, from losing all my savings to a net worth of 400 million, 90% of the profits come from “following the rules.” I will share some proven strategies that are based on real experience.
1. Turn 5,000 into 1 million: High sell low buy method for BTC/ETH
Only trade mainstream coins, using 4-hour moving averages and support/resistance levels to set buy/sell points; simple and crude but with a very high win rate.
Short position opportunity: On the 4-hour chart, if the price is continuously suppressed by the MA60 moving average, open short positions in batches near the moving average. Set stop-loss at the “previous high after a spike down” (for example, resistance at 2440, spike to 2450, stop-loss above 2450).
Long position opportunity: At the support level of the same level (for example, 2320), wait for the price spike to 2310 and then rise, opening long positions in batches near the support level. Set stop-loss below 2310 (near 2300).
Iron discipline:
Daily stop-loss should not exceed 20% of the principal; if it does, stop trading;
Consistent position size for each trade; never “gamble”;
In a market downturn, absolutely avoid positions; not losing money is earning;
Do not trade overnight or on weekends; if stopped out, enforce a 1-hour cooling-off period.
2. Contract doubling plan starting from 300U: Earn steadily through account separation and discipline.
Core principles: Strictly separate accounts + only trade mainstream coins + prioritize stop-loss + limit to 3 times.
Initial stage (300U→1100U):
100U x 3 times, 10x leverage, 7% profit taking, 5% stop-loss (profit-loss ratio 1.4:1).Level 1: Earn 70U from 100U to 200U; if losing, remain at 200U and adjust;
Level 2: Earn 140U from 200U to 400U; if losing, remain at 100U as the bottom line;
Level 3: Earn 280U from 400U to 800U; after reaching the target, enter the stabilization phase.
Stabilization phase (1100U): Three-dimensional matrix strategy
Ultra-short position (300U): 15-minute chart, EMA12 + MACD signal for entry, 3%-5% profit taking, 2% stop-loss, stop for 1 hour after 2 consecutive losses;
Swing position (500U): Enter on 4-hour Bollinger Band breakout, using 5x leverage, weekly profit of 40% for BTC investment;
Trend position (200U): When weekly RSI is overbought/oversold, use 3x leverage to seize big market trends, only re-enter when the profit-loss ratio ≥ 3:1.
Ultimate risk control: Stop trading for 24 hours if losing 15% in a single day, reduce leverage by half if earning 30% weekly, and ensure to withdraw 20% of profits monthly.
3. The engulfing pattern trading method with a 98% win rate: Only do this type of trend for a lifetime.
I’ve done over ten thousand trades based on this pattern, earning 120,000 U in a single month last month. The key is to catch the “double K reversal signal,” simple enough for beginners to grasp.
Pattern recognition: Two candlesticks, where the latter completely engulfs the previous one’s body (including shadows). Bullish engulfing appears in a downtrend, bearish engulfing appears in an uptrend, both are strong reversal signals.
Entry timing: Wait for “confirmation candlestick” - after a bullish engulfing, the closing price of the third candlestick breaks above the upper edge of the engulfing candlestick; after a bearish engulfing, the closing price of the third candlestick falls below the lower edge of the engulfing candlestick.
Stop-loss and profit-taking:
Stop-loss: For bullish engulfing, place stop-loss below the lower shadow of the engulfing candlestick; for bearish engulfing, place stop-loss above the upper shadow of the engulfing candlestick;
Profit-taking: At least earn “the height of the engulfing pattern” (distance between upper and lower shadows), then use 3-5 minute charts to adjust stop-loss.
High win rate technique: The engulfing pattern that appears at support/resistance levels doubles the success rate. For example, when dropping to a strong support level, look for a bullish engulfing; when rising to a strong resistance level, look for a bearish engulfing; trading with closed eyes is easy profit.
4. Holding coins in a bull market guarantees profit: 6 key points to remember
The bull market has arrived; don’t be blinded by the heat. These 6 rules can help you lock in profits:
Regular investment: Regular purchases, no chasing up, holding positions is king, using “infinite addition” to dilute costs;
Mindset first: Buy according to your capital amount and risk tolerance, make your purchase and step away, focus less on the charts and more on learning;
Diversified allocation: Don’t heavily invest in a single coin, pair mainstream coins with potential coins, with proportions according to your preference;
Timely withdrawal: Withdraw principal first when earning, reinvest profits, and stay calm even if the market crashes;
Flexible holding: Can hold long-term, but adjust positions according to trends, but don’t change frequently;
Be cautious during market frenzy: Participate in hot topics with at most 20% of your position and take profits when you can.
Lastly, let me be honest
The essence of the crypto world is the game between retail investors and whales; without rules and discipline, you are just waiting to be harvested. My journey from huge losses to today relied not on “divine predictions,” but on making “anti-human behavior” a habit - able to hold back when it’s time to go short, not hesitating to stop-loss, and being patient when it’s time to hold.
If you want to plan together and avoid pitfalls, feel free to chat with me. Remember: those who survive and make money in the crypto world are always the ones who execute rules like machines.
