Why do you always lose everything after making money?
The crypto world has a very paradoxical phenomenon:
Everyone has seen stories of others getting rich, yet they always leave the market with losses.
Many people are not lacking vision, nor have they not put in effort; some even study the market diligently and cling to candlestick charts. But in the end, their accounts decline instead of rising, they lose everything and then go all in, only to be harvested again, repeating the cycle.
The truth is: you don't really not know how to trade, you're just trapped by some common 'trading ailments'.
1. Profit-taking obstacles: Reluctance to sell is the first step many people take towards losses.
When I first entered, I said I would leave after doubling my target.
Sun Yuchen now holds 17,000 bitcoins, Ten years ago he was ridiculed for saying "sell your house to buy bitcoin" At the current price, it's worth 14 billion RMB! Too much money to spend Comments section: Some people regret not joining, Some call bitcoin a "scam", And others are puzzled about "how to convert to cash"
Some netizens said: China just doesn't acknowledge it. China has also classified it as illegal. The U.S. wants to use bitcoin to offset debts. The total supply of bitcoin is limited, but it can be infinitely divided, which is equivalent to infinite issuance; The problem is, this thing is like stocks, ordinary people can't hold onto it for that long. Virtual currency has no intrinsic value. This is just the result of manipulation. He has artificially set this price. What does everyone think? #加密市场回调 #币安Alpha上新
A trading genius has realized the iron rules of short-term trading
The ten iron rules for short-term trading include strict stop-loss, light position diversification, following the trend, planned trading, decisive profit-taking, paying attention to Bitcoin and market sentiment, controlling trading frequency, focusing on technical analysis, being wary of external risks, and maintaining a good mindset. 1. Strict stop-loss, refuse to hold positions Each trade must have a preset stop-loss level (it is recommended that a single loss does not exceed 1-2% of total capital), and unconditionally exit when triggered. Avoid losses from waiting to break even or fantasizing about a rebound, especially in the highly volatile crypto market, as holding positions can lead to significant losses.

In recent days, everyone has come to realize that the Australian dollar is worth more than Ethereum,
because Yang Lanlan, who was exposed due to a car accident in Australia, is only 23 years old and has assets of 270 billion Australian dollars, 270*4.68=1.2636 trillion Chinese yuan!
1.23 trillion Chinese yuan, you heard that right.
So this world is unfair; some people are born into trillion-dollar wealth. This is like a short drama in reality, how much Bitcoin can this buy? Having money is truly capricious, and the Australian court set a bail of over 70 million Australian dollars, nearly 400 million Chinese yuan, which was transferred in just a few minutes. Money, money, money, is this a descendant of Heshen? This has stunned the people, something they couldn't even imagine, this wealth.
It seems that even the richest Chinese, Li Ka-shing, is still inferior to this young girl.
Understand what money you want to make & the choice of trading framework There are many ways to make money in trading. Some specialize in hedging for profit, some engage in high-frequency trading, some follow trends with contracts, some go against the trend with contracts, some trade spot in waves, and some accumulate coins.
When you are trading, you must ask yourself clearly what money you want to make. This is very important, as it not only determines whether you can make money but also affects your mindset during the trading process.
Do not use the wrong framework. For example, if you use the framework for spot trading to conduct contract trading, you may find that others made money in spot trading while you blew up your contract. For instance, if spot trading is meant for medium to long-term, but you treat it as short-term, you might go in for a day and find you haven't made any money, resulting in a loss.
So how to choose a trading framework,
For small to medium funds (within a few thousand U), do contracts, but strictly follow the trading framework.
For medium to large funds (within tens of thousands U), contracts (10-20% of the fund amount) + spot trading in waves.
For large funds (over 50,000 U), contracts + spot fluctuations + medium to long-term spot (70% of the fund amount).
If you rely on win rate to make money, then you should be a稳稳狗 (steady trader), requiring stability. For example, to seek stability, look at yesterday's trading framework; you might not even trade. If you don't trade, then you don't trade. Missing out is okay; there’s generally no market on weekends. Look at those few days of sharp declines; if you were using a steady strategy, wouldn't you have made significant profits? This is the win rate. The downside is that you might miss out on big trends.
If you rely on profit-to-loss ratio to make money, recognize when things are not right, protect your capital or take small losses, and then exit, but fully capitalize on big gains. Your win rate might be low, but how many times can you recover your losses with big gains? You will make money. You must not miss out on big trends, but the downside is that it will lower your win rate. Your position management and stop-loss must be well executed, and your mindset must be able to hold steady. (Many top traders use this method because pursuing profit-to-loss ratio means continually experimenting, which is much easier, whereas pursuing win rate is more challenging.)
Tolerance for errors in trading, as I just mentioned, it's nearly impossible for any trading framework for you to always be in profit, or for you to enter a trade and constantly be in floating profit without floating loss. The same applies to short positions. So, tolerance for errors must be managed through stop-losses. Let me give you an example: if you currently open a long position around 80,000. If your position management means you have no forced liquidation price, have you considered that your probability of reaching 100,000 with a win is almost 100%? Of course, I’m not saying everyone should do this.
This brings us to the concepts of full position and incremental position. Contracts must be traded with full positions. Stop-losses must be set. So why do I say that high profit-to-loss ratio strategies have a low win rate, yet you can still make money? If each small loss is managed as I previously discussed regarding position allocation, then each small stop-loss truly accounts for only about 1% of your entire position. What does this mean? If your entire position is 100u, you're only losing 1u on a stop-loss, but if this trade hits a big trend, you could potentially earn 10u.
Position management is included in the trading framework. Many people think that as long as they know the entry and exit points, they will definitely make money in the long term. That's not the case. For example, if I always advise to go long, and I always tell you that going long will win 100,000, then you would find that those who manage their positions well can actually earn 100% from good position management, while those who do it poorly might face liquidation in the middle. Therefore, do not let your chaotic position management affect your ability to make money.
No trader can achieve a 100% win rate, so consider how to make a profit.
If you rely on win rates to make money, you should adopt a stable approach, requiring stability. For example, based on yesterday's trading framework, you might not trade at all. If you don't trade, that's fine; sometimes it's better to sit out. There’s usually no market on weekends, and during the recent sharp declines, if you had taken a stable approach, you could have made significant profits. This illustrates the concept of win rate, but the downside is that you might miss out on substantial market movements.
If you rely on risk-reward ratios to make money, then you can experiment with many trades, exiting when things go wrong to protect your capital or take small losses, while maximizing profits on big wins. Your win rate may be low, but the gains from large profits can outweigh the losses by many multiples. In big market movements, you must not sit out; however, the downside is that your win rate will decrease, so you must manage your position sizes and stop losses effectively, and maintain the right mindset. (Many top traders use this method because pursuing risk-reward ratios involves continuous experimentation, which is easier than chasing win rates.)
In the lows of life, what I have learned is that life is ultimately dust; even if one has a hundred years, it is merely a ripple in the long river of history. Therefore, one must live with integrity and sincerity. No matter how great the trials, as long as sincerity is regarded as the lighthouse on the road, despair can also strengthen me. There are four things one must have in life: the confidence that shines on the face, the kindness that resides in the heart, the spirit that flows in the blood, and the strength that is etched into life.
BTC breaks through the $120,000 mark, cheers worldwide, with screens full of "new highs" and "soaring"
But some domestic media titles are instead — "100,000 people liquidated!"
It’s like you get promoted and receive a raise, and the first thing your relatives say isn’t "congratulations," but "aren’t you going to work too hard and die of a heart attack?"
When the market hits the ceiling, they insist on looking at the floor for dust; While others discuss the logic of a bull market, they focus on the number of liquidation lists.
After all, when things are going well, everyone is happy, but it’s better to talk about something "tragic" to get more clicks.
However, those 100,000 liquidated are mostly the ones shorting — those who were pessimistic, getting slapped in the face by the market with even greater force, this is the most surreal story of this market trend.
🔥🔥Is it illegal to make 10 million from cryptocurrency trading? The key lies in these two steps! Many people are afraid that making money will lead to complications, worrying about being labeled with 'unknown source of huge assets.' In fact, as long as the funds remain on-chain (in cold wallets or exchanges), there will be no immediate issues. But once the thought of withdrawal arises, trouble begins— First hurdle: Dirty money trap Although on-chain transfer records are transparent, the identity of the 'counterparty' sending you money is a mystery. If you accidentally receive money from scams, money laundering, or other illegal sources, even if you are innocent, charges for 'aiding and abetting' or 'concealment' could come your way. On-chain, ordinary traders may unknowingly become 'tools' for illicit money laundering. Second hurdle: Bank risk control sniping If your usual salary is 5,000 and suddenly you receive a million in your bank account? The bank's risk control system is no joke; it will freeze your account regardless of the legality of your funds. If you want to prove your innocence, you need to provide a complete set of transaction records, on-chain transfer trails, capital flow statements, and other closed-loop evidence chains—but the reality is, most #BTC重返12万 people simply cannot gather this 'survival dossier.' Truth summary: Trading in cryptocurrency itself is not illegal, but the withdrawal process is like a 'gateway to hell.' #ETH突破4300 #加密总市值创历史新高
Position management for contracts: Assuming the account is 3wu, divided into 3 parts, each part 1wu, only one part is placed in the trading account, and the other two parts are placed in the capital account. The maximum leverage for opening positions in the trading account is 5x for altcoins and 10x for Bitcoin when fully invested. Each time a position is opened, set the leverage and position firmly. If this trade in the trading account incurs a loss, make up for it from the capital account to ensure that the opening amount and leverage remain consistent for a period of time. This way, when profits are made, they are not excessive, and when losses occur, it is easier to break even, stabilizing the mindset.
Similarly, if this trade in the trading account is profitable, transfer the profits back to the capital account, maintaining consistent position and leverage. Focus on the win rate and profit-loss ratio. Moreover, since the capital is divided into three parts, in extreme market conditions, or if the mindset collapses or operational mistakes lead to liquidation, such as holding a position, the maximum loss is only 1/3, making it highly likely that the remaining 2 parts can recover the losses.
Only when you double your capital through this method, that is, turning 3wu into 6wu, can you increase your position size. The position continues to be divided into 3 parts, but each time the opening position increases, while the leverage and full position remain unchanged. Alternatively, you can double your principal and maintain a capital amount that your mindset can accept. #RWA热潮 #ETH重返3800

Coinbase Executive: Most tokens on Pump.fun and LetsBonk are created by bots
Coinbase Product Head Conor Grogan tweeted on Monday: "Currently, the vast majority of tokens released on PumpFun and LetsBonk are operated by bots." He shared a chart showing that the top accounts on LetsBonk launch a new token approximately every 3 minutes.
If you open a position in Bitcoin at 10,000 with leverage set to 10 times, using isolated margin mode, and only open 10% of the position, that means you are only using 5,000 as margin, which is actually equivalent to 1 times leverage, with a 2-point stop loss. If you hit the stop loss, you only lose 2%, which is only 2%? That's 1,000. How do those who get liquidated actually get liquidated? Even if you get liquidated, okay, you only lose 5,000, right? How can you lose everything? If you're right and Bitcoin rises to 11,000, you continue to open 10% of your total assets, setting the same 2% stop loss. If you hit the stop loss, you still make 8%. What about the risk? Didn't they say the risk is very high? And so on... If Bitcoin rises to 15,000, and you increase your position smoothly, in this wave of 50% market, you should be able to earn around 200,000. Catching two such waves would be around 1,000,000. There is fundamentally no compound interest; 100 times is earned through 2 times 10 times, 3 times 5 times, and 4 times 3 times.
