Ten years ago, I entered the crypto world with 50,000 capital, enduring countless hardships, confusion, and self-doubt, ultimately gaining enlightenment. I simplified trading skills to the extreme, turning complexity into simplicity, and finally achieved stable profits. Now, I live a leisurely life, fishing, playing football, and socializing, enjoying it all. Today, I am willing to share these insights!
Before enlightenment, the journey was arduous; after enlightenment, it became effortless.
The path to success in crypto trading lies in the integration of philosophy, mathematics, psychology, and the art of strategy!
(Observe trends with a philosopher's eye, analyze topics with logical thinking, perceive emotions with human insight, and master trading with strategic skills)
The way of cryptocurrency requires a philosophical vision to grasp the overall situation, not just logic (observe the trend with a philosopher's eye); otherwise, mathematicians would already dominate.
You need to analyze topics with logical thinking, not just from a human perspective (using logical thinking to analyze topics); otherwise, psychologists would already be at the top.
You need to perceive emotions from a human perspective, not just from strategy (using human insight to perceive emotions); otherwise, gamblers would already run rampant.
You need to guide trading with strategic thinking, not just philosophy (master trading with strategic skills); otherwise, philosophers would already be leading the way.
The journey in the crypto world requires not only the profundity of a philosopher, the rigor of a mathematician, and the sharpness of a psychologist, but also the wisdom of a master strategist!
Mastering strategy is not something everyone can achieve. Only by continuously enhancing the level and depth of strategic thinking can one remain undefeated in this contest of wisdom.
I didn’t chase trends, didn’t go all in, didn’t rely on feelings. I only did one thing: wrote 'rolling positions + controlling positions' into muscle memory.
The secret to my doubling? It’s just three words: Control the rhythm!
📌 The Iron Law of Positioning
Each position ≤ 20% of total capital; never go all in.
Lock profits first, reduce positions during withdrawals, let profits run and risks stop themselves.
📌 Frequency of action.
At most 3-4 trades per week; cut emotional trades directly.
Only trade high win-rate setups; if the direction is unclear, turn off the computer and sleep.
📌 Doubling rhythm.
First doubling: 10 days.
Second doubling: 18 days.
Third doubling: 24 days, account surpassing 5WU.
Many people privately ask: Why can you always make money while I keep withdrawing?
The answer always boils down to one sentence: The market is just an excuse; rhythm is the key.
❌ You don’t cut losses.
❌ You are fully invested in betting on a rebound.
❌ You blindly follow signals.
❌ You don’t have a rhythm chart.
The market won’t cause losses; uncontrolled emotions will.
When I wrote 'stop-loss, position, frequency' as three lines of code and executed them daily, luck completely took the back seat.
Friends who have been following this rhythm are rolling from 1,500U to 4WU in as little as 4 weeks, while the slower ones are gradually recovering.
Remember this:
Doubling is not a metaphysics; it's a calculation.
Stable profits do not rely on market movements, but on the ruler in your hand.
If you really can’t quit contracts, I suggest you stick to these 8 bottom lines; it's more effective than reading 100 skill articles!
The essence of contracts is 'small bets for big gains': high risk, high volatility. Those who truly survive rely not on 'divine skills,' but on mindset and discipline.
1. Stop-loss is the norm.
A single stop-loss is not the end of the world; the key is how you respond. Some rush to 'recover losses,' leading to even greater losses; others immediately stop and review, allowing them to brake timely. If you incur consecutive stop-losses more than 2 times, you must turn off the computer for the day; don’t let the market provoke you.
2. Don’t believe in 'doubling in three days.'
Just lost one trade and want to recover with a large position? There’s an 80% chance of liquidation. Making money in contracts relies on steady gains, just like running a red light—occasionally, you might get lucky, but in the long run, something will go wrong. Earning a steady 3% daily, in the long run, is much better than blindly scrambling.
3. Go with the trend.
If you don’t understand the trend, don’t act. When the market is clearly in a one-sided rise, trying to guess the top, or when it’s continuously falling and you insist on catching the bottom—this isn’t confidence; it’s a head-on clash. Once the trend forms, it flows down like a flood; counter-trend trading will eventually get you overturned. Wait for clear signals before entering the market—there’s no shame in that.
4. Calculate the risk-reward ratio first.
If a single trade can make a maximum of 100U but might lose 200U, don’t touch it. It must reach at least 'profit 2, accept loss 1' to be worth executing. In contracts, the probability of 'what if I make money' usually leans toward losses.
5. Trade less.
Newbies fail from being 'too diligent,' while veterans win by 'knowing how to be lazy.' Opening seven or eight trades a day might seem busy, but in reality, it’s just paying transaction fees to the exchange. 90% of market fluctuations are noise; the chances to make big money might only appear once or twice a week. Resisting the urge is more important than anything.
6. Only earn money you understand.
Some rely on MACD, others on trend lines; each has their own livelihood. Don’t envy others who catch limit ups; that’s within their understanding. If your own model isn't practiced to perfection, blindly following will only lead to losses.
7. Don’t hold positions.
Holding onto positions is the fuse for a liquidation. Thinking 'just wait a bit longer to break even,' turning a 5% loss into a 50% loss, ultimately getting liquidated. The stop-loss line is your retreat; once it’s reached, cut it, don’t hesitate.
8. When making profits, you must maintain discipline.
Just made a few profits and think you're a god, start increasing your position, changing strategies recklessly, burning the midnight oil to gamble on market movements—this is when the market will often slap you in the face. Maintaining discipline after making money is key to surviving long term.
There are as many crypto experts as there are cows; technical analysis and indicators are everywhere, and K-line charts can be dazzling.
But do you know? Many experts end up losing everything, while I easily rolled from 1000U to 10WU using the simplest methods.
How foolish is this method? Let me summarize it in three sentences.
1️⃣ Don’t bet on tops and bottoms; don’t chase highs and sell lows.
2️⃣ Only use 30% of your capital for trades; if you lose, don’t panic.
3️⃣ For each round of profits, take partial profits to stabilize rolling positions.
Specific operational steps:
Position management is the most important: never go all in, control each trade's position to no more than 30% of your capital.
Don’t guess market directions; just watch the rhythm: enter when market fluctuations are obvious, rest when it's sideways.
Strict stop-loss: if losses reach 3%, stop-loss immediately to avoid liquidation.
Take partial profits: when profits reach 15%, sell in two halves to lock in gains.
Daily review, adjusting your mindset, avoiding emotional trading.
Don’t believe in those 'get rich overnight' myths; real money-making is a step-by-step process.
The steadier you are, the longer you can survive; the longer you survive, the more opportunities you have to earn real money.
1. Only trade certain markets; don’t be a slave to K-lines. Throw away 1-minute K-lines and focus on breakthroughs of 4-hour or higher levels. It’s better to miss 10 opportunities than to make 1 wrong trade—large trading volume does not mean making money; less trading allows for profit space.
Maximum 3 trades per day; if you feel restless, go work out or take a walk; don't touch the keyboard. At first, he couldn’t help but stare at the market, but later he really pulled out his gym card, and his mindset stabilized.
2. The devil's rolling method: Win big, lose small; let profits run wild. The first position never exceeds 10% of your capital (just use 500U). Once you earn 20%, immediately take half the profit and set a trailing stop for the rest to let profits run free.
Cut your position directly after a 5% loss; don’t average down or fantasize about 'it will rebound.' Stop-loss is a life-saving symbol; holding onto luck will lead to death—he lost badly before because he kept thinking 'just hold on a bit longer.'
3. Discipline is above all; if you consistently stop-loss twice in a row, immediately turn off the computer to prevent emotional breakdown and reckless trading.
Don’t hold onto the obsession of 'holding until I break even'; every time you lose, write down the reasons, and when you profit, refine the methods to perfection. He later specifically bought a notebook to mark each trade with 'signals, positions, reasons for profit and loss'; his thinking became clearer.
He practiced this method for several months, and his account finally stabilized and recovered. Later he asked me, 'Why didn’t anyone say these things before?' I laughed and said, 'Because 99% of people would rather blow up than admit they're gambling.'
I rely on these 6 'dumb but stable' iron laws; the truth that no one tells you.
No exaggeration or negativity; the hardest part of the crypto world is that there are too many traps.
If you understand these 6 points, I guarantee you’ll lose at least 100,000 less.
If you truly accomplish three points, you will have already beaten 90% of retail traders!
① When it rises quickly and falls slowly, don’t rush to escape.
Do you understand the main players' tactics? First, they make a big move to scare you, then slowly shake the market to wash out weak hands while those who ran early cry for help.
Only those that 'skyrocket in volume and plummet instantly' are traps to lure buyers; take profit when it's good!
② When it falls fast but rises slowly, don’t foolishly try to catch the bottom.
In the crypto world, there's no lowest, only lower!
A flash crash + weak rebound is the most toxic trap; catching the bottom often results in losses.
Recognizing this will reduce the probability of severe losses by 70%.
③ If there's volume at the top, don’t panic; lack of volume is what’s truly dangerous.
There is still trading volume at the top, indicating that there are still main players paying attention.
If the water is stagnant and the volume has completely shrunk, don’t hold any illusions.
④ Don’t rush to go long just because the volume is increasing; it’s only credible after several days.
Don’t get excited by one or two days of increased volume; it could be a fishing attempt.
It’s only when there are several days of increased volume followed by decreased volume fluctuations that we see signs of main players accumulating positions!
⑤ Volume represents emotion; K-line is just a façade.
Market heartbeat is in the volume; the main players cannot hide their entry volume.
Staring at K-lines? You're already half a beat behind others.
⑥ The hardest part is the wisdom of being in cash.
Making money is easy; holding onto it is hard.
Don’t be greedy, don’t gamble, don’t fear emptiness; living long gives you the chance to turn things around.
I have encountered more pitfalls than you can imagine.
But life is only one; living means having a chance to turn things around.
Bro, there are opportunities in the crypto world every day.
But do you have that calmness and judgment?
How can you not get cut in the dark?
Don't rush to run; don’t rush to catch the bottom.
First, see through the rhythm; walk slowly.
If you absolutely must trade contracts, be sure to uphold these bottom lines; it’s more effective than reading 100 skill articles:
1. Contracts are inherently a game of 'small bets for big gains'; stop-loss is the norm, and don’t treat a single loss as the end of the world. But stop-loss reveals mindset—some rush to 'recover losses' by trading wildly, leading to even greater losses; others immediately stop to review, allowing them to brake timely. Remember: if you incur consecutive stop-losses more than 2 times, you must turn off the computer for the day; don’t let the market provoke you.
2. Don’t believe the myth of 'doubling in three days'; contracts earn money through steady, gradual gains. Just lost a trade and want to recover with a large position? There’s an 80% chance of liquidation. The most taboo thing in trading is 'being too eager for quick success,' just like running a red light—occasionally, you might get lucky, but in the long run, big problems are guaranteed. Be steady; even if you only earn 3% daily, it accumulates better than blindly scrambling.
3. If you don't understand the trend, don't act; going with the trend is more important than anything else. The market is clearly in a one-sided rise, and you insist on shorting ‘guessing the top’; obviously falling continuously, yet you still want to catch the bottom ‘to pick up bargains’—this isn’t confidence; it’s a head-on clash with the market. Once the trend is formed, it flows down like a flood; counter-trend trading is equivalent to standing on a wave carrying wood; being overturned is just a matter of time. Wait for clear signals before entering the market—there’s no shame in that.
4. Calculate the risk-reward ratio before opening a position; this is a life-saving math problem. If a trade looks like it can earn a maximum of 100U but could lose 200U, don’t touch it no matter how tempting. It must at least achieve a ‘2-to-1’ profit-to-loss ratio to be worth executing. Don’t think ‘what if I make money?’ The probability of ‘what if’ in contracts often leans towards losses.
5. Newbies fail from being 'too diligent,' while veterans win by 'knowing how to be lazy.' Getting anxious to place an order every time the market moves, opening seven or eight trades a day seems busy, but in reality, it’s just paying fees to the exchange. Remember: 90% of market fluctuations are 'noise'; the chances to make big money might only come once or twice a week. Resisting the urge is more important than anything.
6. Only earn the money you understand. Ignore markets that you can’t comprehend, no matter how lively they are. Some make money with MACD, others with trend lines; there’s no need to envy someone who caught a limit up— that’s within their understanding. Your understanding hasn’t reached that level, and blindly following will only lead to losses. Master your familiar patterns to the extreme; that’s more valuable than anything.
7. Holding positions is the fuse for a liquidation, especially for newbies—never 'fall in love' with your trades. Always thinking 'just wait a little longer to break even,' results in losses from 5% to 50%, ultimately leading to forced liquidation by the system. The stop-loss line is not just decoration; it’s the retreat line you leave for yourself. Once it’s reached, cut it, don’t hesitate.
8. When making profits, don't get carried away; being carried away makes it easy to fall into pitfalls. Just made some profits and think 'I am a god,' and start increasing your position, changing strategies recklessly, or even staying up late to gamble on market movements—at this point, the market will often slap you in the face. After making money, it's even more important to maintain discipline because the moment you get carried away is the beginning of your losses.
Contracts are not about technology; they are about mindset and discipline. Review these 8 points every day before opening a position; they can help you avoid 80% of the pitfalls.
