Ten years ago, I entered the crypto space with fifty thousand capital, experiencing countless hardships, confusion, and self-doubt, eventually achieving great enlightenment. I simplified trading techniques to the extreme, turning complexity into simplicity, and finally achieving stable returns. Now, I enjoy a leisurely life, fishing, playing football, and small gatherings, finding joy in it. Today, I am willing to share these insights wholeheartedly!

Before enlightenment, the journey is arduous; after enlightenment, it feels effortless.

The key to success in trading coins lies in the integration of philosophy, mathematics, psychology, and superb gaming artistry!

(Observe the trend with a philosophical eye, analyze topics with logical thinking, understand emotions with human insight, and master trading with gaming techniques.)

The way of the crypto world requires a philosophical vision to oversee the overall situation, not something logic can reach (using a philosophical eye to observe trends); otherwise, mathematicians would have long been dominant.

Logic should guide analysis of topics, not human nature (using logical thinking to analyze topics); otherwise, psychologists would have long been at the top.

Need to gain insight into emotions from a human perspective, not from gaming (using human insight to understand emotions); otherwise, gamblers would have long been rampant.

Trading should be guided by game theory, not philosophy (using game theory to master trading); otherwise, philosophers would have long been unrivaled.

The journey in the crypto world requires the depth of a philosopher, the rigor of a mathematician, the sensitivity of a psychologist, and the skill of a high-level game player!

Superb gaming skills are not accessible to everyone. Only by continuously improving the level and depth of gaming thinking can one remain undefeated in this battle of wits.

Always getting liquidated on contracts? Don’t blame luck; you must see through these 3 essential trading truths.

Many people step into the contract market with only 'quick riches' in their eyes, often resulting in account zeroing and total loss. In fact, liquidation is never the market's fault, but rather your operational logic is fundamentally wrong. I have organized low-risk contract rules derived from my trading career, avoiding pitfalls that lead to liquidation and truly grasping the path to profit.


Three major disruptive trading truths.

1. Leverage does not determine risk; position size is the core. Do you feel your heartbeat quicken at the sight of 100x leverage?

Do you think that the higher the leverage, the more you earn? This is actually the pitfall that beginners are most likely to fall into.

The real risk formula is: Actual risk = Leverage × Position size.


$BTC always getting liquidated on contracts? It’s not bad luck; it’s because you haven’t seen through these 3 essential trading truths.

Three major disruptive trading truths.

1. Leverage does not determine risk; position size is the core.

Do you feel your heartbeat quicken at the sight of 100x leverage? Do you think the higher the leverage, the more you earn? This is actually the pitfall that beginners are most likely to fall into.

The real risk formula is: Actual risk = Leverage × Position size.

For example, using 100x leverage but only putting in 1% of your capital, the actual risk is no different from being fully invested in the spot market at 1%. I have a friend who has used 20x leverage on ETH for years, only moving 2% of his capital each time, and after three years, he didn’t just avoid liquidation, but his account increased nearly tenfold.

Leverage is just a tool; position size is the switch that determines risk.

2. Stop-loss is not a loss, but a 'safety airbag' for the account.

How many people get liquidated not because the market fell, but because they stubbornly held on after a 5% drop, thinking 'it will bounce back,' only to watch their positions get forcibly liquidated.

The iron rule of professional traders: single losses must never exceed 2% of capital. This is like a safety airbag in a car; it’s not needed most of the time, but when something goes wrong, it can save your life — once the market exceeds expectations, immediately stop-loss and leave to preserve the account's vitality.

3. Rolling positions are not gambling; the key to compound interest is 'stability.'

When the market rises, going crazy with position increases, thinking ‘I’ll earn enough in one go’? Such operations often lead to losing all profits when the market slightly corrects, or even incurring losses.

The correct approach is:

- The maximum initial position is 10%.
- After each profit, only use 10% of the profits to increase positions.

Just like when BTC rose from 75,000 to 82,500, some people only added 10% of their total position, but their safety margin actually increased by 30% — steadily earning when it rises, and keeping losses manageable when it falls.

An institutional-level risk control model that ordinary people can learn.
1. Dynamic position formula (so simple that if you can’t remember it, count me as defeated).

Total position ≤ (Capital × 2%) ÷ (Stop-loss range × Leverage).

For example, if you have 50,000 capital and want to set a 2% stop-loss using 10x leverage:
Maximum position = 50000 × 0.02 ÷ (0.02 × 10) = 5000 yuan.
Once you understand this, you will have a sense of how heavy your position should be.

2. Three-stage profit-taking method, let profits run.

- When profits reach 20%, first close 1/3 of the position to secure profits.
- When profits reach 50%, close another 1/3 to recover most of the cost.
- Set a trailing stop for the remaining position (for example, leave the market if it drops below the 5-day moving average).

Last year during the halving market, someone used this strategy, turning 50,000 capital into a million, with a return rate exceeding 1900% — not relying on gambling, but allowing profits to grow gradually.

3. Hedging insurance, the 'umbrella' against black swans.

Buying a Put option with 1% of the capital when holding positions can hedge 80% of extreme risks. Just like the sudden crash last April, this strategy helped many preserve 23% of their account net worth, preventing a single black swan from destroying years of accumulation.

The essence of trading is actually a math problem.

Expected profit = (Win rate × Average profit) - (Loss rate × Average loss).

For example, if you set a 2% stop-loss and a 20% take-profit, even with a win rate of only 34%, over the long term, you will still profit. Why can professional traders achieve stable profits? Most maintain an average stop-loss of 1.5% and an average profit of 15%, easily achieving an annual return of over 400% — not due to luck, but through mathematical probability.


Ultimate trading rules (just remember these four points).

- Single loss ≤ 2% (preserve capital for opportunities).
- Annual trades ≤ 20 (trade less, wait for certain opportunities).
- Profit-loss ratio ≥ 3:1 (one profit is enough to cover three losses, to withstand volatility).
- 70% of the time in cash (the market is in a range most of the time, waiting for trends to clarify).

Finally, I want to say: the essence of the market is a probability game; smart traders never bet their entire fortune, but use 2% risk to seek the dividends brought by trends. Control losses, and profits will naturally come knocking. Establishing a disciplined trading system is the ultimate solution for sustained profitability.

1. Practical maxims: turn complex market conditions into 'catchy phrases.'

Entry section: stabilize first, then attack.

‘Test the waters in the crypto world, prepare to proceed; enter steadily and refuse to rush.’

The most common mistake beginners make is charging forward with their capital. Elder predecessors often say: ‘Before entering, ask yourself three questions: Do I understand this coin? Can I withstand a 30% drop? Have I set my take-profit and stop-loss clearly?’ Think it through before taking action, and it’s better than anything.

Sideways trading section: don’t panic in sideways movement, place orders based on levels.

‘When the price is low and ranges sideways, it's the right time to buy heavily; when the price is high and breaks through, sell decisively without hesitation.’

Sideways movement is not dead water; it is a contest between bulls and bears. When the price is low and stops falling, it means selling pressure is almost gone, dare to add positions; when the price is high and still surges, it is often the main force inducing more buyers, hurry to run — in 2021, when BTC was ranging at 60,000 dollars, I cleared my positions based on this principle and avoided the subsequent crash.

Volatility section: follow the rhythm and don’t become a ‘bag holder.’

‘Sell at the peak, buy quickly during a plunge; observe during sideways movement, reduce trades.’

When the market rises rapidly, don’t be greedy for 'just a bit more'; the main force is waiting for you to chase it. When it dips quickly, don’t panic thinking 'it will fall further'; the panic selling is the opportunity. During sideways movements, observe more and act less; frequent operations will only cost you fees to the exchange.

‘In a sideways market, hold tight to your chips; in a rapid rise, be wary of a crash; in a slow decline, gradually accumulate.’ This describes the 'character' of volatility: if it hasn’t fallen in a sideways market, it indicates support; if it rises too quickly, it often needs to correct; if it falls slowly, that’s just the right time to buy in batches and lower costs.

Timing section: coming from the opposite direction makes it easier to win.

‘Don’t sell when it doesn’t spike; don’t buy when it doesn’t plunge; don’t trade during sideways movement.’ This is the 'three no principles' from the elder predecessors, filtering out 80% of ineffective operations.

‘Buy on the bearish candles, sell on the bullish candles; operate in reverse to stand out.’ When everyone is chasing bullish candles, you quietly buy on bearish candles; when everyone is cutting losses on bearish candles, you decisively sell bullish candles — this is the anti-human logic for making money.

There’s another time maxim that’s more practical:

‘Buy in the morning when it drops, sell in the morning when it rises;

Don't chase the highs when there's a big afternoon surge; buy the dips the next day after a big afternoon drop.

Don’t cut losses in the morning when it dips, and rest when it neither rises nor falls.

The volatility in the crypto world has time patterns; morning drops are often panic selling, while afternoon surges are mostly traps for more buyers. Understanding this can help avoid many pitfalls.

Risk awareness section: Surviving is more important than anything.

‘Full position trading is a big taboo; stubbornness is not feasible; know when to stop in the face of uncertainty, and grasp the timing of entry and exit.’

Elder predecessors often say: ‘The crypto world is not lacking opportunities, but rather 'the breath to turn things around.’ I have seen too many people win 9 times and lose 1 time, wiping out all gains — never be fully invested, always leave room in your positions.

‘Trading coins is actually about trading mindset; greed and fear are the biggest enemies; chasing highs and cutting losses should be cautious; being calm leads to freedom.’ In the end, what matters is not technique, but mindset: don’t be greedy when it rises, don’t panic when it falls, follow the plan, and that’s better than anything.

2. Super practical trading methods: usable by both beginners and veterans.

1. Volatility trading method: earn 'steady money.'

Most of the time, the market is in a range, and at this time, using 'high sell low buy' is the most stable.

Using the BOLL indicator to observe the range (the upper line is resistance, the lower line is support), sell when it reaches the upper line, buy at the lower line, and find entry and exit points by combining with candlestick patterns.

Remember: in a volatile market, don’t be greedy; earn 3-5 percent and leave. Accumulating small amounts is more reliable than chasing big trends.

2. Breakout trading method: seize 'quick profit opportunities.'

After a long period of sideways movement, the market will always choose a direction (either break upwards or break downwards).

When the market is about to change, don’t hesitate: upward breakout of range + increased volume, decisively go long; downward breakdown + increased volume, hurry to short.

But set a stop-loss — in case of a false breakout, don’t get trapped. When ETH ranged at 1800 dollars for half a month in 2023, I chased it on the breakout day and made 40% in three days.

3. Unidirectional trend trading method: eat the 'big market gains.'

After a market breakout, a unidirectional trend will form (either rising all the way or falling all the way); at this time, 'trading with the trend' will yield the most profits.

In an uptrend, buy when it pulls back to the 20-day moving average; in a downtrend, sell when it rebounds to the 20-day moving average. Refer to candlesticks and Bollinger Bands to confirm the trend, don’t go against the trend — in a unidirectional market, going against the trend is like giving away money.

4. Resistance and support trading method: find 'precise points.'

When the market reaches critical positions (like previous highs, previous lows, or golden ratio points), it often 'gets stuck.'

Use trend lines, moving averages, and Bollinger Bands to find resistance and support: sell at resistance and buy at support.

In 2022, when BTC dropped to 15,000 dollars (previous low support), I bottom-fished using this method, and it later rebounded to 40,000 dollars, making a profit of 3 million on this wave.

5. Time-based trading method: place orders according to 'personality.'

Morning session (9:00-12:00) and afternoon session (14:00-18:00): small fluctuations, suitable for beginners, take it slow and earn steady money.

Evening session (20:00-24:00) and early morning session (1:00-5:00): large fluctuations, suitable for veterans, quick in and out, earn quick money but set stop-losses.

Finally, I want to say: what 'secret weapon' is there in the crypto world? It’s just about executing simple truths to the fullest, controlling emotions, and adhering to discipline. The elder predecessors went from 100,000 to 42 million, relying not on luck, but on 'unity of knowledge and action' — knowing when to buy and sell, and being able to do so.

If you're still losing now, stop messing around; write down these maxims and methods, practice against the market until it becomes muscle memory, and making money will come naturally.

Remember: the market is always there, opportunities are always available, and those who can control their emotions can hold onto profits.

Ultimately, in the ups and downs of the crypto world over the years, what is hidden is never some profound technique, but the simplest truth — only those who can stabilize their heartbeat can catch the opportunities the market provides.

In the notebook of the elder predecessors, the line 'Trading coins is actually about trading mindset' is circled repeatedly. I later understood that those 'watching levels during sideways movement' and 'chasing orders during breakouts' maxims are merely putting reins on volatile markets; those 'don’t sell when there’s no high' and 'don’t operate with full positions' rules ultimately set boundaries for the tumultuous emotions.

Over ten years, the mistakes I’ve made and keyboards I’ve broken all convey the same principle: the difficulty of trading is not from not understanding candlesticks, but from clearly knowing when to buy and sell, yet being pulled by greed and pushed by fear, making the wrong choices. As the elder predecessors said, 'unity of knowledge and action' is heavier than all indicators combined.

The ceiling fan in the tea room is still spinning; during reviews, I always think of the first thing he taught me: 'The market never lacks opportunities; what it lacks is people who can wait, endure, and follow the rules.' If you are staring at the screen in confusion, don’t always think about finding 'shortcuts.' Write those maxims down, practice against the market until you can remain calm in the fluctuations, and profits will naturally follow.

After all, the real 'ATM' in the crypto world is never found in candlesticks, but in the steady heartbeat you can maintain, and the discipline you can adhere to.

From trash to engraved in bone: MACD helped me navigate the crypto world!

Why is MACD called the 'King of Indicators'? I’ll tell you from ten years of practical experience.

Many people think MACD is too simple and look down on it. But I dare say: if you truly master it, you can avoid 80% of the pitfalls and seize 60% of the significant trends.

1. A 'lifesaver' proven over decades.

This indicator is not arbitrary; decades of global markets have verified its effectiveness. I suffered huge losses in my first three years because I didn’t believe in these 'old tools,' always thinking there were 'shortcuts.' Later, I found that MACD can help you directly judge: whether to enter, exit, or just lie flat.

For example, in 2021, when BTC surged to 60,000 dollars, MACD showed 'top divergence' (price made a new high, but MACD did not), I cleared 70% of my positions, and indeed, I was not stuck during the subsequent crash — this is the power of old indicators.

2. A 'mirror' to capture trends.

The core of MACD is the EMA (Exponential Moving Average), which helps you see the 'big direction.' When both the DIF line and DEA line of MACD are above the zero axis, and the red bars continue to expand, it indicates an upward trend — at this time, holding positions can yield significant gains; if below the zero axis with green bars expanding, it indicates a downward trend — being greedy will only lead to losses.

In 2020, ETH started at 200 dollars, with MACD crossing above the zero axis, and red bars getting longer. I followed this signal for half a year, from 200 to 1800, this wave multiplied my investment by 9 — when the trend is right, making money is really not hard.

3. Top and bottom divergence = the 'alarm' for bottom fishing and peak escaping.

This is the trick I use the most, simple enough for beginners to learn:

Top divergence: price makes a new high, but the peak of MACD keeps getting lower (red bars shorten) — indicating that the price can’t go up anymore, hurry to run.

Bottom divergence: price makes a new low, but the valley of MACD keeps getting higher (green bars shorten) — indicating it has fallen enough, which means it’s time to lay out positions.

In 2022, when BTC dropped to 15,000 dollars, there was panic everywhere, but MACD showed bottom divergence (price made a new low, but MACD did not), I added 30% to my position based on the signal, and it later rebounded to 40,000 dollars, making a direct profit of 17 million.

4. Old hands are all about 'returning to the basics.'

I have seen too many people: starting with MACD, thinking it’s too simple, running off to study various flashy indicators (like RSI + Bollinger Bands + volume overlays), resulting in more confusion and greater losses. In the end, they circle back and find that MACD is the most reliable.

Just like an experienced driver, they don’t watch all the data on the dashboard, only the speed and RPM are enough. MACD is the 'tachometer' of the crypto world; understanding it is sufficient.

5. Even quantitative funds are using it.

Don’t think only retail investors look at MACD; in the quantitative strategies of large funds, MACD is one of the core tools. Its logic is simple and stable, and can be written as code for automatic execution — this shows it’s not 'mystical,' but has real mathematical logic backing it.

Lastly, a heartfelt statement:

I turned 200,000 into 40 million, relying not on talent, but on maximizing the use of MACD, combined with strict discipline: don’t act unless signals are clear, stop-loss immediately if the trend is wrong, and dare to go heavy when divergence occurs.

Now there are still people asking me: 'Is there a faster method?' I can only say: in the crypto world, the fastest route is the steadiest route. MACD may seem clumsy, but it allows you to stand firm amidst storms.

If you're still losing now, stop messing around; thoroughly understand this MACD strategy, review it repeatedly, and avoid taking ten years of wrong turns.

The crypto world only leaves two kinds of people: either the hunters who understand the trend or the leeks that get cut. Want to turn the tables? First, engrave MACD into your bones.

Ultimately, what 'secret to getting rich quickly' is there in the crypto world? It's just that some people have fallen enough to finally learn how to read the compass amidst the storms.

I have been watching that MACD line for 10 years, and what I learned from it is not just the fluctuations of red and green bars, but the word 'not greedy' — daring to pull back during top divergence, daring to layout during bottom divergence, and daring to wait when the trend is unclear. Those things I once thought were 'old-fashioned' are exactly what can anchor you amidst the chaos.

In this murky crypto swamp, to wade through it, you need not clever tricks, but rather diligent effort — fully understanding one indicator, strictly following one rule, and regarding 'survival' as more important than 'quick profits.'

If you're also losing, don’t panic. Turn off those signal groups, calm down and look at MACD, and consider those 'old rules' you’ve overlooked. Once you truly understand the fluctuations of that line, you will realize: avoiding reefs is never about being the fastest boat, but having the steadiest compass.

Be steady, the road is long.
