After three consecutive liquidations, he only changed one habit, and the account started to turn positive!
Last night, an old buddy sent me a voice message, filled with despair: "Bro, I went all in three times, and I've been buried... I feel targeted by the market."
I didn't advise him to buy the dip or throw him any codes; I just asked, "Have you reviewed these three trades and put them into a table?"
He smiled bitterly: "What’s there to review? I lost in both uptrends and downtrends, the rhythm is all messed up."
The root of the problem lies here—there's a market every day, but the method is wrong.
I made him shut down for 48 hours and write down the time, price, reason, and emotion for each recent order in Excel.
The results were clear:
- Chasing after seeing a bullish candle, and catching the knife at the peak;
- Setting stop-loss at a position that felt "uncomfortable", and setting take-profit at the fantasy of "just wait a bit longer";
- Following whoever in the group calls the trade, turning his wallet into someone else's touchstone.
So I gave him a set of "anti-instinct" battle manuals:
1. First find coins that "don’t drop in the wind"
If the market crashes and it doesn’t follow, or even shows small bullish consolidation, it means there are people defending it, retail investors can't break through the selling pressure, note it down and add it to the watchlist, then wait for a volume reduction to retest.
2. Let indicators be the referee
The rules are extremely simple:
If the closing price breaks below the 5-day moving average, reduce position by half;
If the closing price breaks below the 20-day moving average, liquidate the position.
No room for emotion.
3. Cut the position like an onion
Initial position ≤ 10%, add 10% after a 5% profit, add another 10% after another 5% profit.
If the direction is right, advance step by step; if the direction is wrong, only trim the fingernails, without injuring the bones.
4. Introduce "time stop-loss"
If it doesn't go according to the script within 48 hours after buying, exit immediately, regardless of profit or loss.
Money is alive, it can’t pretend to be dead.
Three weeks later, he sent a message: "The account is only up 30%, but I can sleep now, and my hands don’t shake when placing orders."
This is the real turning point for profit—from "betting big" to "having a rhythm."
The crypto market never closes, opportunities are always present; what’s lacking is a system that allows you to live longer, lose less, and gradually accumulate wealth.
Don't rush to recover losses; first, learn to avoid crashes.
