Three years ago, I was just an ordinary office worker, making spreadsheets during the day and tracking cryptocurrency prices at night. I didn't have much savings, so I took 1000U as 'test funds', thinking that I might be able to make some small money.
So what happened? At first, I didn't know how to read candlesticks at all; I just followed others' calls, making five trades in a day and blowing up five positions in three days. The worst was when my account hit zero, and I almost couldn't pay my rent.
At that moment, I suddenly understood that to survive in the cryptocurrency world, it's not about rushing; it's about staying alive.
So I started to save myself, leaving 100U for a trade, taking profits at 150U and cutting losses at 80U. This seemingly 'timid' operation, which I persisted in for over half a year, surprisingly increased my principal to 5000U.
Until the bull market in 2021, I truly seized a big opportunity. At that time, Bitcoin started to rise from 20,000. I didn't go all in but instead bought in three times at lower prices, increasing my position every 10% rise, and finally sold out at 48,000, making over 200,000U in profit.
But to be honest, making money isn't surprising; the hard part is not giving it back.
Too many people become rich overnight and then lose everything; I've seen too much of that, and I almost repeated the same mistake. Since then, I've set three strict rules:
• 1. If a single trade profits over 50%, withdraw 20% immediately;
• 2. Trade a maximum of three times a week; don't act without signals;
• 3. Never touch coins outside the top 20, no matter how loudly someone shouts about them.
These seemingly conservative rules actually allowed me to come out unscathed during the big crash in February this year. While others were fully invested, I watched from the sidelines with a light position, even securing my profits in advance.
Now, my account has surpassed eight figures, but I still only use 1% of my position in the market every day. It's not that I'm afraid of losing; it's that I know — the real experts are the ones who remain calm in the storm.
A few days ago, a friend asked me: Do you have any secrets?
I told him three words: Don't be greedy.
Here are three trading iron rules for him:
• Never go all in;
• Think about the stop loss for every trade in advance;
• Withdraw profits immediately; don't let them die in the market.
In the cryptocurrency world, there are people doubling their money every day, but those who survive through bull and bear markets are the true winners.
Maybe you only have 1000U right now, but don't underestimate it; as long as the direction is right and the rules are stable, it might just be the starting point of your destiny.
Remember: the fiercest comeback in the cryptocurrency world is never about a single trade; it's about making every trade count. Your patience and discipline are the sharpest knives.
