At 3 a.m., a voice message popped up from Xiao Li in the takeout group in Shenzhen, with a crying tone:​
​
“Sis, 4500U is all gone! I opened a 6x long position with the full warehouse, and ETH just dropped by 2 points, how come the money just disappeared?”​
​
I asked him to send the trading records and immediately spotted the problem — he had put all 4300U in, and the stop-loss column was completely clean​
​
Xiao Li entered the market with the money he saved from delivering food, always thinking that “full warehouse profits quickly”, but forgot that a full warehouse is like an electric vehicle without brakes, flipping over at the slightest fluctuation. ​
​
Take this trade of his: with 4500U in the account, he used 4300U to open a 6x leverage, and if the market reverses by 3%, he would be liquidated; but if he only invested 315U (7% of total funds), it would need to drop nearly 48% to lose everything, which is 16 times better in risk resistance. He bet 95% of his principal, and this little pullback he couldn't withstand. ​
​
Later, I taught him the 3 tricks I summarized from my own pitfalls, and after three months, his account rose from 3200U to 5800U:​
​
First trick, only invest 7% of the position in each trade. In a 4500U account, the most he can use is 315U to open a trade. Last time when ETH dropped from 200 dollars to 185 dollars, he entered the market according to the rules, and even with a stop-loss, he only lost 25U, which did not affect the principal for delivering food. ​
​
Second trick, do not exceed a 1% loss in a single trade. With 315U and 6x leverage, set a stop-loss line at 0.9% in advance, with a maximum loss of 5.7U, only 1% of total funds. Xiao Li said: “Before, losing once would hurt a lot, but now I’m not afraid even if I make ten mistakes.”​
​
Third trick, stay out of the market during volatile conditions. He checks the market in between deliveries, and when he encounters sideways movement, he closes the software. “I used to be afraid of missing out, but now I know that doing nothing when there’s no trend is better than acting chaotically.” Last time BTC was sideways for a week, someone advised him to buy the dip, but he held back, and later the coin price dropped another 15%, just in time to avoid the pit. ​
​
Last month, Xiao Li sent a screenshot: his 3200U grew to 5800U, and he even sent 1000U home for rent. He said: “I used to think that a full warehouse was a gamble, but now I understand that full warehouse trading isn’t betting, it’s about holding the risk in your hands.”​
​
What kind of “full warehouse must blow up” curse exists in the crypto world? Ordinary people like Xiao Li, as long as they control their positions well, tighten their stop-losses, and wait for a clear trend, can slowly stabilize their accounts even starting from liquidation. ​
​
—— This is a principle he realized after delivering two hundred takeouts. ​

​ I used to walk in the crypto world alone in the dark, now I’m passing the “light” out​
​
—— This light is the rules and patience; are you willing to follow?​ @Yaya丫

Two years ago, my small studio couldn't sustain itself and dissolved, leaving only 2300U after settling accounts.

—— My former partner constantly flaunted "10x leverage trading," but I personally saw him trading SOL with 8x leverage.

In three days, he lost the 50,000 U I had prepared to restart, and even the rent had to be pooled with friends. ​

I didn't dare to follow the trend and split the 2300U into 5 parts: two 400U for day trading, specifically focusing on BTC and ADA pullbacks;

one 500U for swing trading, waiting for the weekly MACD golden cross before acting; two 600U locked in cold wallets, with 300U reserved for buying more and 300U kept as "emergency funds."

I didn't expect to hit a BTC pullback in the first week. I used 400U to buy at 23,000 and sold at 24,500, making a profit of 261U on that single trade, bringing my account directly to 2561U. ​

In the second week, ADA rose from 0.48 to 0.55, and another 400U made me 583U, pushing my account to 3144U;

in the third week, there was a small market for ETH, where my swing trade of 500U earned 3920U, and my account soared to 7564U; even I was stunned by this speed.

—— Where are the skills? It’s just that when others shouted "BTC is going to 30,000," I quietly took profits at 27,000; when others were cutting losses and cursing "the bear market has no salvation," I used my buying funds to buy ETH in two batches.
From 7564U to 52,000 U, I have been sticking to this "foolish method."

Some laughed at me, saying I was scared of losing money in entrepreneurship and didn't dare to gamble in the crypto world, but they hadn't seen my former partner crying in a café.

—— After he blew up trading SOL, he couldn't even gather enough severance pay for his employees. Once my account broke 50,000 U, I became even more cautious:

I set up scripts to prevent slip-ups, only trading mainstream coins like BTC, ETH, ADA, and I tightened my stop-loss and take-profit settings to the max, even if it meant earning just enough for a cup of milk tea, I would never hold onto a losing position. ​

After all these years of struggles, I finally understood: entrepreneurship and the crypto world are the same, going all-in is gambling with your life, diversifying is leaving a way out for your capital;

Don't bet on one-sided markets, calculate the winning rate of "buy low, sell high" like you would calculate costs; maintain a steady mindset, whether in business or trading, you can go far.

The crypto world is never short of opportunities; what it lacks are those who can control their greed even after suffering losses.

—— Just like me, slowly rolling with 2300U, without using leverage, I still made it back to 52,000 U, which feels much more secure than risking it all with leverage. @Yaya丫

Brothers with a principal of less than 5000U, listen up: don't rush blindly, discipline is the way to survive!​
​
Recently graduated Xiao Lu entered the crypto world with 900U, his hands trembling when placing orders, afraid of losing it all at once. ​
​
I told him: "Follow these three rules, it's better to be steady than anything else."​
​
The first rule is to split the funds: 350U for day trading, only focus on BTC and ETH, take profit when volatility is 2%-3%;​
​
250U for swing trading, wait for the moving averages to align before acting, hold positions for 3-5 days; the remaining 300U locked in a wallet, do not touch it even in extreme market conditions.​
​
—— This is his 'confidence for a turnaround.' One time, Xiao Lu saw others going all-in on altcoins to make quick money and wanted to join in,​
​
but I stopped him: "Those who go all-in rise in euphoria and panic in downturns, they won't go far." Later, that altcoin plummeted, and he was glad he didn’t follow the trend. ​
​
The second rule is to only chase trends and not waste time in oscillations. When the market is sideways, I let Xiao Lu turn off the software and avoid frequent trading and paying fees. ​
​
In November last year, ETH gave a clear bullish signal, and he decisively entered the market, holding for 4 days and making a 12% profit. According to the rules, he withdrew half first,​
​
holding 108U and smiling, saying: "What’s in hand is what’s mine." In contrast, his colleague traded every day during the oscillation, losing over 200U in fees without making any profit. ​
​
The third rule is to stick to the rules and manage emotions: a single stop-loss must not exceed 1%, and exit when the time is up; if profits exceed 2.5%, reduce the position by half. ​
​
One time, he got stuck chasing BTC at a high price, and according to the rules, he stopped out at 9U, not daring to add to his position. ​
​
A week later, when BTC rebounded, he made 36U on one trade, covering 4 stop-losses. ​
​
"Now I understand, it’s not necessary to catch every market move, just stick to the rules." ​
​
Five months later, Xiao Lu's account broke through 21,000 U; after half a year, it directly surged to 30,000 U, with zero liquidation throughout. ​
​
He now often tells newcomers: "Turning 900U into 30,000 U isn’t about luck, it’s about not daring to gamble everything and being disciplined." ​
​
In the past, I walked in the crypto world alone in the dark, but now I pass the 'light'​
​
—— This light is the rules and patience, are you willing to follow?​@Yaya丫

In an afternoon discussion with a seasoned investor who has navigated through two market cycles, she struck me with a single sentence that pierced my obsession with trading:

“The ultimate goal of holding a position is not to accurately predict the market, but to place every bit of capital in a position of peace of mind.”​

This OG, who entered the market early, once fully invested at a high during the market frenzy in 2017,

waking up repeatedly at midnight to watch the K-line. “Later, I cut my position in half, made less profit but regained my sleep

— which one is worth more?” She laughed and said, “Emotional stability is built from a pile of actual chips.”​

1. An uncomfortable position is the first signal of risk warning​

Many investors get caught up in technical indicators or news but overlook their primal intuition:

If your position makes you frequently check the ups and downs, anxious about bad news, it essentially means your position has exceeded your psychological threshold.

As fund manager Wang Mingxu said, “Balance is the state that stabilizes emotions,” he dynamically adjusts allocations to balance offense and defense

— this “sense of comfort” is the precise match between position and risk preference. ​

2. The cognitive leap from “passive entrapment” to “active adjustment”​

Traditional investors often fall into the trap of “long-term holding means no action,” but a mature strategy requires repositioning in three scenarios: reducing positions when stock prices are severely overvalued, switching positions when encountering better targets, and clearing positions when the fundamentals deteriorate.

You can adjust costs through the “pyramid addition method” (starting with a light position, adding to it as it drops) or the “333 control method” (building positions in three stages), and you can also smooth out stock prices by using dividends and rights issues, treating reinvestment as “value welfare.”​

3. The composure comes from optimizing the chip structure​

If your holding cost is below the 20% quantile of market price, or even achieves negative cost through early dividends, you naturally remain calm in the face of volatility.

This requires focusing on “bottom + right side” opportunities (such as positioning during the consolidation after a drop), avoiding the “inverted pyramid addition” of chasing up at high positions.

“Whether you can bear the crash depends on whether you built your position halfway up the hill or took root at the bottom.” The OG's reminder hits the nail on the head.

The highest realm of investing is to make positions background music rather than the focus of life. Not being bound by numbers turns the market from a gladiatorial arena into a place of practice

— both rises and falls are scenery, and choices are made with calm. @Yaya丫

Old Wu made 280,000 from 100,000 on the card, just for a small advantage!!

At 1:30 AM, the phone vibrated non-stop, and the screen was filled with exclamation marks:

"Teacher! 280,000 just transferred to the card, and the bank locked it directly! Clicking in, it's all 'suspended non-counter transactions', this money won't be gone, right?"

I instantly woke up — Old Wu brought 100,000 USDT into the market last year, and I had him split it into three parts:

60,000 focused on BTC for swing trading, 30,000 followed the SOL trend, and 10,000 locked in a cold wallet.

In half a year, BTC swing trading earned 80,000, SOL bought at the low again earned 100,000, seeing it almost doubled, he was eager to transfer money to his son for the down payment, but stumbled at the last step.

On the phone, Old Wu's voice trembled: "To save 500 yuan in price difference, I found a new seller to buy USDT, the money arrived then transferred to the bank card, and it got locked in just two hours!" I understood at once; this was stepping on the "dirty money" landmine

— upstream funds might be involved in fraud, and he was unaware but got caught in the net.

I told him not to panic, pulled out the previous 'Fund Protection Notes': "Did you not apply for a dedicated card? And found a new seller?"

Old Wu hesitated to admit that he initially found the card application troublesome, used his regular salary card, and greedily chose a seller with only a few hundred transaction records.

I taught him to take two steps: first, I helped him organize OTC trading screenshots, chat records, and bank statements, filling up 30 pages;

Then I accompanied him to the police station, explained it was a legal cryptocurrency transaction, and repeatedly emphasized during material submission that he was "unaware and did not profit".

During this time, Old Wu was always afraid of losing the money, I comforted him: "As long as you prove your innocence, there's a 90% chance of unfreezing, but this time you must remember the lesson."

A week later the bank unfroze it, and Old Wu brought me fruit to thank me, saying: "Now I specifically applied for a 'crypto circle card', only used for OTC, sellers only selected with transactions of 100,000+, and 99% positive reviews, no more being greedy for small advantages."

Looking at the screenshot of him transferring 280,000 for the down payment, I remembered what I often said when I first brought him into making money: "In the crypto world, winning lies in the market, but holding on is about funds." Many people focus on K-line profit calculations but forget the final step's hidden reefs

— just like Old Wu, who earned 280,000 and almost stumbled on a card, luckily timely used protective iron laws to resolve it.

In this circle, being able to earn is a skill, but being able to protect is the true winner. @Yaya丫

35 days, 1600U to 125,000 U

I didn't rely on any insider information, nor did I follow others to bet on directions

—— All based on the rules of position I established after falling down hard.

Honestly, I had also suffered before: going all in chasing highs, adding to my position in the wrong direction, and my account of 30,000 U was left with just a small amount.

Only after getting hurt did I understand: in the crypto world, the rhythm of position is 10 times more important than guessing the right direction.

Later, I set three strict rules for myself and never broke them, which allowed me to grow my 1600U.

The first rule is the "safety line" for opening positions: never exceed 25% of total capital.

Even if the market looks stable, I never get greedy —— for example, when I first traded BTC in a swing, I only dared to enter with 400U from my 1600U,

leaving the rest as a cushion. When my profit reaches 12%, I add to my position, but only half of the profit, for instance, if I made 192U,

I only reinvest 96U, and I never risk my principal. This way, even if the market turns against me, the loss is only a small part, and I won't be wiped out.
The second rule is the "dead standard" for stop-loss and take-profit: stop-loss must never exceed 2.5% of the account, and take-profit must lock in half of the profit.

For example, when my account reaches 8900U, trading SOL in a swing, I calculated in advance: I would cut losses at most 222.5U,

and I would take out 801U once I earned enough 1602U. During the rise from 90 to 128 for SOL, I adjusted my take-profit five times,

never greedy for the highest point, and the final profit I made was much steadier than those who gamble blindly

—— Those who play 10x contracts blow up in three days, while I relied on this steadiness to slowly push my account to 52,000 U.

The third rule is the "bottom line" against temptation: only trade clear mainstream coins, and never touch sudden news altcoins.

There was a time when someone in the group shouted that an altcoin "would double," and I felt tempted, but thinking about the previous lesson of blowing up made me clear-headed:

Staying alive continuously is the root of doubling positions; messing around in one go will wipe everything out.

In the end, I still adhered to trading based on the 4-hour structure of BTC and SOL, not stepping wrong once, and managed to surge from 52,000 U to 125,000 U.

Actually, are there any shortcuts in the crypto world? What I can achieve is merely executing simple rules to the extreme: not going all in, not holding onto losing positions, and not being led astray by greed.

When you tighten the "safety rope" of your position, the market dares to offer you the chance to double. @Yaya丫

On the day when 19.1 billion was liquidated across the internet, Old Chen, who opened a building materials store, sent a message filled with panic:​
​
"Brother, I opened a leveraged long position of more than 3 times with 180,000 U, and it was gone after a drop of 6 points! I still have building materials payments pending, and I can hardly keep the store open."​
​
This is not an isolated case — that night many people stared at the plummeting K-line without sleeping,​
​
some deleted their trading apps, and others asked everywhere, "Can it go back up?"​
​
But Old Chen didn't give up; later, he not only made up for the losses but also made an extra 250,000 U, relying on three things:​
​
The first thing, never exceed 5% of a single position. Previously, he invested the entire 180,000 U, but now he only invests 9,000 U at a time for 2 times leverage, "Even if it drops 10%, the loss is just pocket money, and it doesn't affect the store's cash flow." Last month, Ethereum rebounded by 9%, and he entered the market with a light position, earning 40,000 U just from this wave. ​
​
The second thing, the stop-loss line is more important than life. Old Chen now sets a stop-loss at 1.5% for every trade, "Last time Bitcoin dropped by 3%, I lost 270 U on that trade and was automatically out; if it were before, I would have been liquidated already."​
​
He showed me his records: in three months, he set stop-losses 5 times, with total losses of less than 1,500 U, far less than what he earned in a single rebound. ​
​
The third thing, never bottom-fish during a crash. On the day of the 19.1 billion liquidation, someone advised him to "bottom-fish, bottom-fish," but he restrained himself: "In the store, we know to wait for stable market conditions to restock; how can we panic with trading?" Later, the coin price dropped another 12%, and he avoided the pit, waiting for a rebound signal on the daily chart before entering, capturing an 8% increase in one go. ​
​
A few days ago, Old Chen sent a screenshot: account balance 430,000 U, 250,000 U more than before the liquidation. He said: "In the 19.1 billion liquidation, how many people lost due to ‘urgency’​
​
— eager to recover losses, eager to bottom-fish. In fact, by stabilizing and doing the three right things, there will be opportunities during a rebound."​
​
In the crypto world, is there really eternal decline? Those who can turn things around are never relying on luck, but on following the rules. ​
​
Old Chen's experience is the best example: as long as you're alive, there's a chance to earn back. ​

I used to walk in the dark alone in the crypto world, now I am passing on the "light" ​
​
— this light is rules and patience. Are you willing to follow along?​ @Yaya丫

At two in the morning, my phone suddenly vibrated non-stop. It was a voice message from Akai in Hangzhou, his voice trembling:

"Sister, I opened a long position with 3 times leverage on my 7500U account, and it dropped by 4 points, all my money is gone! How could it happen so fast?"

I opened the trading screenshot he sent, and there was not a single cent left in the 7500U account; the stop-loss field was empty—this operation made me frown.

Many beginners always think "the full warehouse can withstand small drops," but a full warehouse is like an electric vehicle without brakes; a slight bump can cause it to "flip over," much faster than a liquidation of individual positions.

The root cause of full warehouse liquidation is not high leverage, but an overly full position. It’s like the 6500U account; if 5500U uses 3 times leverage, a 3% reversal in the market will lead to liquidation;

but if only 650U uses 3 times leverage, even with a 25% fluctuation, the principal remains stable. Akai put all his money on the line; under 3 times leverage, this small drop was simply unbearable.

Actually, it is possible to make steady profits with a full warehouse. I tried three principles for half a year, never faced liquidation, and made quite a bit of money, so I hurried to share them with Akai:

① Use at most 10% of the principal for each trade. For a 7500U account, the maximum single investment is 750U; even if a stop-loss occurs, the loss is just a small part, and it won't collapse all at once.

② Single loss should not exceed 1%. For example, for 750U with 3 times leverage, set a stop-loss line at 1.1% in advance, the maximum loss is 24.75U, only accounting for 0.33% of the total principal, making the risk completely controllable.

③ Do not touch the full warehouse if it has been sideways for more than 4 days. When the market lacks direction, firmly avoid using the full warehouse; wait for the daily candlestick to show a clear trend before entering the market, and do not let short-term fluctuations lure you into increasing your position.

Before, student Xiaomeng cleared his account every month due to full warehouse liquidation, but after following these three principles for two months, his 4500U account slowly rose to 5800U.

He said: "I used to think the full warehouse could make money quickly, but now I realize that first preserving the principal without losing it is how I can slowly earn money."

A full warehouse can be used, but the key is not to treat it as a "gamble" tool; follow the principles, control the risk, and only then can earning money feel substantial.

Later, Akai operated according to this method and never faced liquidation again. Last month, he told me that his account finally recovered the previous losses.

In the past, I walked in the cryptocurrency world alone in the dark, but now I pass the "light" on

— this light is the rules and patience; are you willing to follow along? @Yaya丫
Hide

Encountering sisters with a principal of less than 2000U asking how to play with coins??

"Don't rush to place an order, let me tell you about Xiao Lin's story."

When Xiao Lin added me, her account only had 480U left. Every time she pressed the order button, she was afraid that this money would be gone, and paying the rent was a dilemma.

I told her: "With a small principal, you must be steady. Follow the rules, and you can gradually improve."

The first rule is to split the money and leave a way out.

Split the 480U into three parts: 180U for day trading, focusing only on BTC and ETH, and if it fluctuates by 3%, immediately sell, not being greedy;

150U for swing trading, wait for a clear signal on the weekly chart before acting, and do not hold positions for more than 5 days;

The remaining 150U is locked directly into a cold wallet, with a complex password set, saying "No matter how urgent, I won't touch this money."

I have seen too many people invest all their thousands of U, getting anxious when it rises and panicking when it falls, and they can't go far. Keeping some funds as a backup is the real confidence.

The second rule is to only chase trends and not to exhaust oneself during fluctuations.

The market spends most of its time in sideways movements. When Xiao Lin had no signals, she would stay in the discussion group to analyze without blindly operating;

When the daily chart showed a golden cross signal, she decisively entered the market, and when her profit reached 10%, she withdrew half to her bank card,

sending me a screenshot: "Sister, what is in hand is yours, and any extra earnings are surprises." Unlike some people, who always think "just a little more", in the end, they end up with nothing.

The third rule is to strictly adhere to the rules and not rely on emotions.

I set with her: the stop loss for a single order should never exceed 1%. If the time is up, cut it off, even if it rises later, do not regret;

When profits exceed 2%, first reduce the position by half, and set a trailing stop for the remaining. If there is a loss, never add more, no matter how unwilling, endure it.

Once when ETH dropped, she watched her account turn 2% green, gritted her teeth and didn’t add more, and later it did continue to fall. She said, "Fortunately, I didn’t follow my emotions."

Three months later, Xiao Lin's account surged to 28,000 U; after 8 months, the number broke 59,000 U, without a single liquidation.

Now she smiles and says: "Sister, I used to think having a small principal was lacking confidence; now I understand that rules are the real confidence."

In fact, is there really a saying in the coin circle that "having a small principal won't work"? What is feared is getting anxious and messing up the strategy.

If you also hold a few thousand U without direction, it’s better to first establish these three rules

— I have long lit the "light", it just depends on whether you are willing to follow this steady path. After all, money earned slowly is the one that can be kept. @Yaya丫

After spending 8 years in the cryptocurrency world, my deepest insight is: talk less, wait more. ​
​
Earned 68,000 U from 5,000 U: In the cryptocurrency world, when you can't persuade others, you understand to say less. ​
​
Last year, I met Akai, who came to ask me with 5,000 U, can I turn it around? ​
​
I told him to split his funds into two parts: 3,000 U to trade Bitcoin and 2,000 U to lock up as a fallback. ​
​
Just two weeks later, Bitcoin rose by 20%, and Akai kept messaging me asking, 'Should I sell? If it drops again, it will be gone!' ​
​
I told him that the on-chain chips are still stable, just wait a bit longer. He didn't listen and secretly sold half, and then three days later, Bitcoin rose again by 30%. He regretted it and was willing to listen to me. ​
​
Later, when SOL had good news, I let Akai invest 1,000 U, agreeing to take profits when it exceeds 30%. ​
​
Half a month later, SOL rose by 40%, and Akai got excited and wanted to increase his position for a gamble. ​
​
I advised him not to be greedy and to withdraw part of his profits, but he didn't act. Until one day, SOL suddenly corrected by 15%, he panicked and quickly took profits as I suggested, although he didn't earn at the peak, he still made a net profit of 300 U. ​
​
Once, Akai heard from a friend that a certain altcoin was going to surge, and asked me if he could buy it. ​
​
I told him to look at the project white paper and the unlocking curve; he complained it was troublesome, saying, 'Others are buying, I can’t be wrong by following them.' ​
​
I didn’t advise him further, and a week later that altcoin plummeted by 50%. Akai lost 800 U, and when he came to see me, his voice was hoarse. ​
​
I helped him adjust his strategy, refocusing on Bitcoin, and it took three months to recover the losses. ​
​
Now Akai's account is almost 68,000 U, yet he still frequently asks, 'Will it go up tomorrow?' ​
I no longer explain in detail, just say, 'Follow the previous rules.' ​
​
—— In the cryptocurrency world, where is there a guaranteed profit? I stay up late watching data and monitoring the market, while he only looks at the ups and downs of results. When he makes money, he thinks it’s his luck, and when he loses, he panics. ​
​
Sometimes Akai brags to his friends about 'making money by following the experts,' and when friends come to ask me about the target, I only say, 'I’m not sure.' ​
​
It’s not being evasive; it’s knowing that saying it won’t help. ​
—— They only want an answer but are unwilling to spend time understanding the logic. ​
​
The loneliness of the cryptocurrency world is never about having no one to accompany you, it’s about you sharing your experience, but the other party only takes away the 'result,' leaving you with a screen full of data, and no one understands that caution. @Yaya丫

—— Playing U is risky; remember these few sentences are more effective than anything else​
​
Old Feng sold 60,000 U cards and got frozen, and was also summoned by the police!​
​
He got unfrozen in 3 days, without leaving a criminal record or freezing other cards. ​
​
Upon entering the police station, the first question from the police officer was: "Are you aware that virtual currencies are not protected by law?" ​
​
Old Feng was not flustered and answered according to his notes: "I know the law does not say that transactions are illegal, but in case of disputes, it does not provide protection. A friend of mine was scammed before and could not recover the money; I remembered this early on." ​
​
After hearing this, the police officer did not ask further and directly checked his transaction records. ​
​
Then the police officer stared at the records and asked: "This amount is involved in fraud upstream; why do you need to refund it?" ​
​
Old Feng was well-prepared: "I understand it’s according to procedure; can we negotiate the refund amount?​
​
I just exchanged U normally and really did not know there was a problem with the money." ​
​
Later, with the police's help in coordination, he contacted the victim and after clarifying the situation, refunded part of the money,​
​
and also submitted OTC chat records and transaction screenshots to prove that he was an ordinary player who was unaware. ​
​
In the end, Old Feng proactively asked: "If I do not cooperate, will I leave a criminal record or will my other cards be frozen?" ​
​
The police explained: "If you voluntarily submit materials proving that the funds are fine, there will be no punishment, and it will not affect other cards. ​
​
But if the card is classified as a first-level involved account, all bank cards will be managed; ​
​
the impact of a second-level involved card is smaller, and freezing itself does not count as a criminal record."​
​
Three days later, Old Feng's card was successfully unfrozen. ​
He said with relief: "Fortunately, I remembered the answers to these few questions in advance; otherwise, I would definitely have panicked and been unable to speak at that moment." ​
​
Now, before he exchanges U, he must check the other party's transaction records and resolutely avoids low-priced U with unclear sources, keeping transaction screenshots neatly stored ​
​

At eleven o'clock at night, my phone kept vibrating with voice messages from my cousin back home,

with a crying tone: "Sister, I opened a 3x long position with all 6000U,

and it just dropped 4 points, all the money is gone! How could it happen so fast?"

I opened the trading screenshot he sent, and all 6000U was used to enter the market without leaving a cent, the stop-loss line was empty

— this operation made me sigh. Many beginners always think that "full position can withstand small fluctuations," but a full position is like an electric vehicle without brakes; a slight bump can lead to a "flip," much faster than a liquidation by position.

Full position liquidation is not about high leverage; it is about being over-leveraged. Just like an account of 5000U, if 4000U is used for 3x leverage, a 3% reverse market would lead to liquidation;

but if only 500U is used for 3x, even with a 25% fluctuation, the principal remains very stable. My cousin bet all his money; under 3x leverage, such a drop could not be withstood.

In fact, full positions can also guarantee profits. I have tried three principles for more than half a year without any liquidations and made quite a bit, so I hurried to tell my cousin:

① Use only 8%-10% of the principal for each trade. With a 6000U account, the maximum investment per trade is 500U, even if a stop-loss occurs, only a small portion is lost, and it won’t collapse all at once.

② Single trade loss should not exceed 0.8%. For example, if I use 500U for 3x, set a 1% stop-loss line in advance, the maximum loss is 15U, which only accounts for 0.25% of the total principal, and the risk is completely controllable.

③ Do not touch a full position for more than 3 days of sideways movement. When the market has no direction, firmly avoid full positions, wait for the daily line to provide a clear trend before entering the market, and don’t be tempted to increase positions due to short-term small fluctuations.

Previously, my neighbor Xiao Zhou cleared his account every month due to full position liquidations, but after following these three principles for two months, his 4000U account slowly increased to 5200U. He said: "I used to think full positions could make money quickly, but now I realize that protecting the principal from loss first allows for slow profit accumulation."

In trading, how can there be so many "sudden liquidations"? Most are due to not following the rules well.

Full positions are not unmanageable; the key is not to treat them as a "gamble" tool. By following principles, controlling risks, making money becomes solid.

I used to walk in the dark in the crypto world alone, now I pass the "light"

— this light is the rules and patience; are you willing to follow? @Yaya丫

At two in the morning, my brother burst through the door carrying half a bag of scrap, took out a shiny bank card from his pocket and slapped it on my desk: "Guess what’s hidden in here?"​

I thought it was his hard-earned money from collecting scraps, but then he opened the cryptocurrency app, and a balance of 40,000 was flashing: "Your brother isn’t just messing around, right!"​

I almost laughed to tears: "You can’t even tell the difference between RSI and candlestick charts, and you dare to touch this stuff?"

He held his neck high: "You understand technology, I understand stability, we’ll make a great team!"

Who would have thought that with this partnership, I ended up struggling in the cryptocurrency market for 6 years, starting with 9000 in capital, surviving through three bull and bear cycles, and it steadily supported my family’s expenses. ​

At first, I was very superstitious about technology, staying up late every day learning Bollinger Bands, memorizing RSI parameters, filling my tablet with screenshots,

Even while feeding my child, I would hold the comparison of the "double bottom" candlestick patterns, but my account kept getting thinner, losing 3500 in just six months. ​

Until one day during a short-term operation, I focused on the "double bottom" pattern, calculated the entry point accurately, and just after buying, it dropped.

— Later I found out that the main funds had quietly withdrawn, and the candlestick chart was just a "post-event record" of the market, not some money-making "prophecy book"?​

Slowly, I accumulated a few rules I dared not forget: when I first made a profit of 4500, I withdrew 1300 to buy my mom a massager, and later when the market corrected, seeing my mom’s smiling face using the massager made me understand that "locking in profits" is not just empty talk;

Previously, I was trading frequently and racked up 1900 in fees within a month, later reducing my trades actually increased my profits by 30%;

When adding positions, I miscalculated the ratio, intending to add 8% but wrote down 18%, almost losing my child’s early education fee, since then I check the calculator three times every time I add a position. ​

After 6 years, I finally understood: the cryptocurrency world is not ruled by technical experts, making money is a compensation for understanding, not a reward for staying up late staring at candlestick charts.

Listen less to stories of "doubling overnight", and calculate the accounts on your fingers; don’t fixate on daily gains, see if the annualized return can cover your child’s art class fees. ​

After all, keeping to discipline and knowing the priorities is the real secret to never getting liquidated in the cryptocurrency market and steadily supporting a family. ​@Yaya丫

The community supermarket owner, Awei, entered the crypto space with 820U, always fearing losses would affect his capital for inventory.

I taught him 3 principles, and in half a year, he rolled up to 26,000 U without ever blowing up his account.

Four months in, Awei's account surpassed 17,000 U, and he even added over 2,000 U to buy holiday gift boxes;

When the six-month mark arrived, he shot up to 26,000 U. Now he tells the young people who come to buy things:

"820U rolled to 26,000 U, it's not luck, it's not being greedy for a 'quick comeback', and daring to follow the rules."

The first principle is to split the capital: 320U for day trading, only focusing on BTC and ETH, taking profits with a fluctuation of 2%-3.5%;

250U for swing trading, waiting for the 5-day and 10-day moving averages to cross before acting, holding positions for 2-5 days;

The remaining 250U is locked in a cold wallet, considered his 'minimum inventory money'.

Once when ETH dropped 20%, Awei wanted to use his bottom card funds to buy the dip, but I stopped him: "You have little principal, buying the dip could leave you stranded without even replenishing your stock money."

Later, ETH dropped another 10%, and the neighbor who followed the trend to buy the dip lost all 3,000 U, Awei was glad he didn't act impulsively.

The second principle is to only chase trends and not get caught in volatility. When the market is sideways, I let Awei focus on running the store, avoiding frequent trades and transaction fees.

In September last year, when BTC weekly stabilized at 25,000, signaling a clear bullish trend, he entered as planned, holding the position for 4 days and earning 12%, immediately withdrawing half.

— Holding 49.2U, he laughed and said: "This money is enough for two boxes of drinks."

In contrast, the owner of the neighboring tobacco shop played with SOL contracts every day during the volatility, and within a few days of using 5x leverage, he blew up his account, losing 12,000 U.

The third principle is to follow rules and manage emotions: a single stop-loss should never exceed 1.2%, and to exit at the set time;
If profit exceeds 2.8%, first reduce the position by half. Once, after chasing high BTC, Awei followed the rules and stopped at a loss of 9.8U, not daring to add to his position.

Five days later, BTC rebounded, and he made 36U from one trade, covering three stop-losses.

"Now I understand, you don't need to guess the market every time, as long as you follow the rules, you won't suffer big losses."

In the past, I walked in the dark alone in the crypto space, now I hand over the 'compass'

— This compass represents diversifying positions steadily, chasing trends without reckless actions, and adhering to rules to manage trades. If you're willing to follow, you won't have to fear that a small capital won't make money. @Yaya丫

Don't mess around! 3000U to 100,000 U: I helped Lao Zhou make a profit by sticking to the rules, zero liquidation​
​
Lao Zhou, who has been in the workplace for five years, entered the cryptocurrency world with 3000U, which he saved for half a year for renovation​

At first, he operated chaotically, and within two weeks he lost 600U​

In a panic, he sent a message at midnight: "If I keep losing, I won't even have money to buy new furniture for my family."​
​
I immediately helped him restructure his strategy, with the core being three iron rules. ​
​
The first rule is to split the funds: 1000U for day trading, focusing only on Bitcoin and Ethereum, and taking profits decisively when the volatility reaches 2%-2.5%;​
​
1000U for swing trading, entering the market only when the moving averages show a clear trend, holding positions for 2-3 days without being greedy;​
​
The remaining 1000U locked in a cold wallet, agreeing that even if the market crashes, it won't be touched. ​
​
At first, Lao Zhou didn't follow the rules completely. One day, seeing a meme coin surge 20% in one day, he secretly took 200U from his swing trading funds to chase the rise, only to see it drop 15% that evening, losing 30U. ​
​
This lesson made him completely submit, and he began to strictly follow the rules: on Wednesday morning, when Bitcoin rose 2.3%, he took profits as planned and made 23U;​

The next week, he captured a rebound after Ethereum's correction, holding the position for 3 days and netting 180U. ​
​
I repeatedly reminded him, "Don't waste time with volatility;" during sideways markets, I let him focus on work instead of staring at the K-line wasting energy. Every time the account profit reached 8%, I urged him to withdraw half to his bank card​
​
—— From 5000U to 20,000 U, and then to 50,000 U, he withdrew over 20,000 U in five months, not only recovering previous losses but also saving money for home appliances. ​
​
He was even stricter in executing the rules: single stop-loss strictly controlled within 0.8%, closing positions immediately at the set time;​
​
Profit exceeding 2% would lead to halving the position, allowing the remaining profit to follow the trend. ​
​
One time when Ethereum surged 5%, Lao Zhou was itching to add 200U to chase the high, but I stopped him in time. That evening, the market dropped 3%, and he said in fear: "Good thing I didn't act impulsively, otherwise it would have been in vain again."​
​
Eight months later, Lao Zhou's account surpassed 100,000 U, with zero liquidation throughout. ​
​
He used his earnings to buy new furniture for his home and also left some emergency funds, exclaiming: "It turns out that the cryptocurrency world is not about gambling, keeping to the rules is stronger than anything else."​

8 years of trading coins, 3 times wiped out 8 million

Until I saw that strange ETH "K line", I didn't completely die in the crypto world!

On that winter night in 2023, when ETH dropped to 1200 dollars, I was staring at the screen with trembling hands

—— only 50,000 U left in the account, if I lose more, I really have to exit. Just when I was about to cut my losses,

I suddenly noticed something was wrong: the weekly price hit a new low, but the RSI indicator rebounded by 35% compared to the previous low, and I could still see big whales quietly accumulating on-chain.

This scene was too familiar! When Bitcoin surged to 68000 dollars in 2021, I clearly saw the RSI peak divergence at 30%, but I was blinded by the calls in the circle for "breaking 100,000", and didn't clear my position.

As a result, it plummeted 55% the next day, and my account's floating profit of 3.8 million was wiped out, resulting in a loss of 2 million. When I first got liquidated, I stared at the screen in a daze until dawn.

Later, I stumbled two more times: in 2023, when Dogecoin surged to 0.34 dollars, the RSI dropped by 25% compared to the previous high, I still added to my position and got trapped until now;

In 2024, when PEPE golden cross occurred, the indicator suddenly pulled back, I didn't take it seriously, and lost another 1.2 million. Until this time with ETH's "bottom divergence", I felt like I had opened up my channels

—— It turns out the market had already written the "buy and sell signals" on the K line!

Since then, I have turned the lessons learned from losing 8 million into three life-saving rules:

First, when looking at divergence, pay attention to the "two lines": when the price hits a new high but the RSI doesn't, immediately reduce your position; when the price hits a new low but the RSI doesn't, wait for the big whales' movements. For example, during that ETH incident, I waited 3 days to confirm that the big whales hadn't left before I dared to enter with a small position.

Second, golden cross traps require "secondary confirmation": don’t touch the first golden cross, check if there are large transfers in Binance's hot wallet. Last year, when SOL surged to 40 dollars, I didn’t act on the first golden cross, but waited for the second golden cross plus big whales adding to their positions, and made 3 times the profit when I entered.

Third, don't be afraid of "trouble" in risk control: if there is a peak divergence and big whale net outflow exceeds 4 million U, no matter how reluctant you are, you must cut it;

For bottom divergence paired with a long-short ratio below 0.65, build positions in batches.

I also printed out 80 cases of divergence and look at two cases every night before bed. Now, I can identify false signals even with my eyes closed.

—— Is there really a shortcut in the crypto world? The truth I learned from losing 8 million is simply "understand the divergence, don't fight the market" @Yaya丫

Last week at the class reunion, someone raised a glass and asked me: "At 33 years old, staying in a hotel for 2000 a night, how have you earned in the crypto world over the past 8 years?"

I didn't say "rely on vision" or "rely on luck"; I just took out my phone to check the transaction records:

"It's all based on a 'three-step' investment strategy. It's a bit clumsy, but it's guaranteed profit."

When I entered the market at 25, I was just like the new beginners now, diving in fully with BTC, only to see my account cut in half during a crash in 2019.

I've used this method for 5 years, growing from hundreds of thousands to millions, with the core being three steps.

The first step is to "test the waters", starting with 20% of 80,000, which is 16,000 to enter the market.

With a light position, even if SOL fluctuates in the short term, I won't feel anxious. Last year, when SOL was at 80 dollars, I first invested 16,000, and later it dropped 5%. A friend advised me to cut my losses, but I wasn't in a hurry at all.

— After all, I only invested a small portion, and I can bear the risk. The most common mistake beginners make is going all in, and this step perfectly keeps the risk at bay.

The second step is to "add to the position", taking the remaining 50%, which is 40,000, and slowly increasing it at the rhythm of "add 10% for every 7% drop".

When SOL dropped to 75 dollars, I added 8,000; when it dropped to 70 dollars, I added another 8,000. By the time I completed the 40,000, my average cost was brought down to 73 dollars, significantly lower than those who entered at a single point. Even if the market continues to fall, I won't panic due to being "stuck"; instead, I can wait for a rebound.

The third step is to "wrap it up", waiting for the trend to stabilize before adding the last 30%.

Last year, when SOL broke through 90 dollars and held steady for 3 days, I finally added the remaining 24,000. This step is the most crucial, as it avoids the risk of "chasing the rise".

When SOL surged to 120 dollars last year, my position entered with this method made nearly 60%, while the beginners who chased the rise in the group ended up losing money due to the pullback.

Now some say my method is "too conservative", but I believe: the hardest part in the crypto world is not finding opportunities, but exercising restraint. Resisting the greed to go all in, and resisting the fear of panicking when the market drops.

I can comfortably stay in a nice hotel, not because I gambled correctly on some market trend, but because this "clumsy method" has helped me avoid pitfall after pitfall.

Newbies shouldn't look down on its simplicity; what can be executed and guarantees profit is true skill. @Yaya丫

At 2:30 AM, my phone by the bed kept vibrating, it was a voice message from Ajie in Guangzhou.

His voice trembled: "Sister, I opened a long position more than 3 times on my 6000U account,

it dropped 4 points, and all the money is gone! How could this happen?"
I opened his trading record, and there was not a single cent left in the 6000U account, entering the market with the entire amount without even setting a stop-loss line.

—— This operation made me frown. Many beginners think that 'the whole position can withstand it', but in reality, the whole position is like an electrical switch that hasn't been turned off; if you're not careful, you get 'electrocuted', much faster than a partial liquidation.

The root cause of a full liquidation is not a high leverage but an overly full position.

Take a 5000U account as an example. If 4000U opens with 3 times leverage, a 3% market reversal would lead to liquidation;

but if only 600U is used with 3 times leverage, even with a 20% fluctuation, the principal remains stable.

Ajie bet 100% of his principal, and under 3 times leverage, he couldn't withstand this slight pullback.

In fact, a full position can also be profitable. I have tried three principles for more than half a year without ever being liquidated, and my account has increased significantly. I explained it to Ajie in detail:
① Use a maximum of 12% of the principal for each trade. For a 6000U account, a single investment can be up to 720U. Even if it hits the stop-loss, the loss is only a small part, and it won't collapse all at once.

② Single loss should not exceed 1.5%. For example, if 720U opens with 3 times leverage, setting a 1% stop-loss line in advance means the maximum loss would be 21.6U, only accounting for 0.36% of the total principal, keeping the risk in hand.

③ Do not act decisively during sideways movement. In a volatile market, never touch a full position; wait for a clear direction on the daily line before entering the market, and don't be tempted to increase your position by short-term fluctuations.

Previously, there was a student named Xiao Zhou, who would clear his account every month due to full liquidation. Following these three principles for two months, his 4000U account slowly climbed to 5200U. @Yaya丫

He said: "I used to think a full position was a gamble, but now I understand that a full position must first 'stay stable to survive' in order to make money."

In trading, how can there be so many 'sudden liquidations'? Most are due to not adhering to the rules.

A full position is not inherently bad; the key is not to treat it like a 'gambling table'. When following principles, risks become controllable, and making money feels secure.

For those who want to avoid pitfalls, follow me for more practical strategies to share later!

Brothers with a principal of less than 5000U, don’t place orders yet — listen to my story about Xiao Yu before making any moves.

Six months ago, when Xiao Yu added me, he tightly held onto his 800U account: "Bro, this money is for my meals, I'm afraid that if I make a move, it will be gone."

I told him: "In the crypto world, it relies on strategy; sticking to the rules can help you succeed."

Unexpectedly, four months later, his account exceeded 19,000 U, and in six months, it soared to 28,000 U without a single liquidation.

Some say he was lucky? In fact, it was supported by three iron rules.

First rule: Divide the funds into three portions, leaving a way out.
I had him split the 800U into three parts: 300U for day trading, focusing only on BTC and ETH, taking profits with fluctuations of 2%-4%;

250U for swing trading, waiting for daily signals to act, holding positions for 2-4 days;

250U locked in a wallet, no matter how anxious, don’t touch it. Later, when BTC dropped by 5%, he timely cut losses on his day trading position, while the swing position and the reserve were still intact — if he had gone all in, he would have lost it all early on.

Second rule: Only chase trends, do not waste time on sideways movements.

The market spends 80% of its time in consolidation; at the beginning, Xiao Yu traded every day, and by the end of the month, he paid over 80 U in fees without making any profit.

Later, I taught him: wait for signals; act only when there are signals, and withdraw half of the profits when you gain 12%.

Last month, when ETH had a golden cross, he entered and gained 15%, and according to the rules, he withdrew half of the profits, earning some more with the remaining.

Third rule: Rules first, manage emotions.
I set strict rules with him: the loss for a single trade should not exceed 1.2%, leave when the time is up;

If profits exceed 2.5%, cut the position in half; never average down on losses.

Once, when SOL dropped by 1% and was close to the stop-loss line, he cut it according to the rules, and that day SOL dropped another 3%, preserving his principal.

Having a small principal is not scary; what’s scary is the desire to "turn the tables in one go".
Xiao Yu went from 800U to 28,000 U not by luck, but by rules, patience, and not being greedy. Do you have a direction for your few thousand U?

First, establish these three disciplines; walking steadily is faster than anything else.

I have already lit the "light"; it’s up to you whether you are willing to follow steadily, after all, money earned slowly can be kept. @Yaya丫

At 11 PM, Xiao Lu sent a screenshot of his account, showing that his 150,000 U principal was down to only 50,000 U,

with a text full of sorrow: "Sister, I watch the market every day but keep losing more. If this continues, I'm going to give up!"​

I looked through his trading records, all of which were made based on feelings and random buys.

—— Chasing the rise, holding on during the fall, he couldn't even distinguish between MACD golden cross and dead cross.
Actually, I also fell into this trap years ago, and later stabilized my profits using 6 basic indicators, so I decided to teach him step by step. ​

First, I taught him to find trends using EMA+MACD​
When he trades BTC short-term, he should first look for EMA5 crossing EMA10 (golden cross), and then wait for MACD to turn red on the zero axis before entering the market. Previously, he charged in recklessly regardless of the trend. Now, following these two indicators, he successfully caught the ETH rebound for the first time and made 3000 U in 3 days. He said, "Finally, I'm not just guessing anymore."​

Next, I taught him to avoid pitfalls with RSI + Bollinger Bands​
I instructed him to sell when RSI exceeds 70 and buy when below 30, using the upper and lower bands of Bollinger Bands for support and resistance. Once, when SOL surged to the upper Bollinger Band and RSI spiked to 75, he sold according to the rules, and right after selling, it dropped 12%, preserving a profit of 4000 U, and he never made the mistake of being "greedy" again. ​

Finally, I showed him how to determine position size using VWAP+Volume​
He should use VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price) to judge reasonable entry prices, entering lightly only if it's below VWAP, then looking at Volume (trading volume)

—— Only increase position size when volume expands, and watch carefully when it contracts. Last month, when BTC retraced near VWAP, Volume suddenly increased by 30%, and he followed in, making 8000 U in a week. ​

Two months later, Xiao Lu sent a new screenshot: his account returned to 100,000 U, netting a profit of 50,000 U. He said, "I used to think indicators were useless, but now I understand, these are the 'navigation' for making money."​

In fact, there isn't so much "talent" in the crypto world. I lost 200,000 U in my early years before I realized: compared to blindly charging in, mastering these 6 basic indicators is much more reliable for earning than gambling on luck.

—— Newbies learn by following, and the shortcuts taken are all the principal saved. ​@Yaya丫
