From the Brink of Bankruptcy to Financial Freedom: A Professional Trader's MACD Rebirth Journey
This is not a fairy tale of getting rich overnight, but a chronicle of capital survival over nine years. In 2015, I entered the cryptocurrency field with a million in funds, and in three years my assets shrank to one-fifth of their original value—family relationships were on the brink of collapse, and life fell into the darkest moment. Now, this remaining capital has completed a transformation of 200 times. This journey has no dramatic twists, only a MACD practical system tempered by the market.
Chapter One: Value at the Darkest Moment 2015-2018: The Cost of Irrational Trading Emotional Trading: Continuously chasing highs during BTC's 1900% rise, yet stubbornly holding positions when the market turns bearish, resulting in significant asset depreciation
3000 turns into 50,000, a steady path to wealth for an ordinary person!
At the beginning of 2023, I entered the crypto space with 3000 yuan for living expenses. After 16 months, this money turned into 50,000—without using contract leverage, without touching the myth of 100x, just relying on three simple methods. Today I want to tell everyone: in the crypto space, surviving long is the true skill. First tactic: Dollar-cost averaging, but smarter than dollar-cost averaging I call this the 'salaryman investment method': every Monday at market open, buy 200 yuan of BTC/ETH without fail. Just like paying off a mortgage, buy regardless of price fluctuations. But there are two key details: When the market crashes (for example, dropping over 15% in a week), temporarily increase the position by 50% Only select the three major mainstream coins; those flashy altcoins should be avoided.
Do you think trading cryptocurrencies requires understanding a bunch of technicals?
Many people think that to get rich in the crypto world, they must study various indicators—K lines, MACD, RSI, almost turning technical analysis into mysticism. But to be honest, the money I've helped my followers make has never come from all those flashy things, but from a method that is ridiculously simple. Four years ago, there was a guy who stayed up late every night watching the market, doing technical analysis better than the experts, but what happened? His account kept losing, he was liquidated twice, and his mentality completely broke. At that time, I told him: "The most ironic thing in the crypto world is that the smarter a person is, the easier it is for them to lose money; those who actually make money are the ones using 'simple methods.'"
From massive losses to stable profits, I only did these 3 things right
I wasn't born a trader,
I used to be just like you: blown accounts, borrowing money to cover losses, and having my mindset collapse.
At my worst, I lost 300,000 in a single day, and I was completely dazed.
But that lesson made me change my bad habits completely,
and gradually establish a trading system that can earn money steadily.
If you are still losing money now, being repeatedly harvested by the market, don’t panic.
These 3 key changes helped me restart from 2000U,
to now earning a five-figure daily income. You can do the same and turn things around.
1. First learn to stem the bleeding, then think about making money
When losing money, the first reaction is always "hurry to make it back",
but the more I traded, the more I lost. Later I realized:
Clear the account, force myself to calm down for 3 days
After starting over, control my position to 20% (only use 400U for a 2000U account)
Absolutely do not touch markets I don’t understand, I would rather miss out than make a mistake
Remember: Only those who survive have the right to talk about profits.
2. Establish your "foolproof" trading system
This method, which I spent 4 years verifying, I still use today:
Only look at the 4-hour trend + key intraday levels
Entering the market must comply with technical patterns + support and resistance
Set stop losses and take profits in advance, never change them on the fly
Don’t pursue complexity; a simple, repeatable system is the key to making money.
3. The key to profit is "compound interest," not all-in
Most people get carried away after doubling down, and end up losing everything. My approach:
After making a profit, increase the position slightly, decrease the position automatically when losing
After taking profits twice in a row, take a forced break of 1-2 days (to prevent overconfidence)
Limit to 3-5 trades per week; stop and review if losing
Remember: The market always has opportunities, but your capital only has one chance.
I’ve walked this path and know where the pitfalls are.
If you truly want to survive in the market long-term, remember:
Doing less is more important than doing more, guaranteed profits are more important than windfalls, and staying alive is more important than anything else.
Starting from 2000U, take it step by step, and you can do it too.
