'The 'god-tier operations' that analysts are raving about aren't as good as my 'clumsy method' that I've used for 8 years. Don't scroll past; this article might help you avoid the 100 pitfalls I've encountered.'
Last week, while drinking coffee on the terrace of a hotel in Sanya, I was stunned when the front desk handed me the bill for a seaview room at two thousand a night. I surprisingly didn't instinctively calculate 'how many fast food meals I could buy' like I did five years ago. I glanced at the asset curve on my phone and suddenly felt the need to open up to my old and new fans: as a 35-year-old crypto 'veteran', I really didn't earn my first pot of gold by luck.
At 25, I jumped into this circle with a severance pay of 30,000 after just resigning. Looking back now, I see that I was just a 'newbie' who blindly followed community leaders' tips and invested everything, panicking and selling at a loss when the market dipped. At my worst, I even survived on instant noodles for half a month, cursing myself for being 'out of my mind' when I looked at my bank balance. It wasn't until the third year, after stepping into enough pitfalls, that I realized: in the crypto market, 'quick money' often comes with hooks, and true guaranteed profits are usually hidden in 'counterintuitive clumsy methods'.
Today I'm sharing my '343 phased layout method' that I've kept under wraps; it’s straightforward without fancy jargon, purely practical insights that even beginners can follow:
The core logic is simple: don’t put all your eggs in one basket, and certainly don’t put them all in at the same time. The so-called '343' means dividing the funds you plan to invest into 10 parts and completing the layout in three waves.
The first wave of 'initial position' accounts for 30%, and I call it 'testing the waters'. For example, if you have 100,000 in capital, first invest 30,000. The key here is 'not to chase highs'; even if an asset rises for a week, wait for it to pull back 3%-5% before taking action. When I laid out my position in a certain mainstream asset in 2020, I waited for it to drop 4% from its high before establishing my initial position, which later proved to directly avoid the risk of a short-term pullback. Remember, the purpose of the initial position is to 'secure a place', not to 'make quick money'; a steady mindset is essential to avoid panic.
The second wave of 'main position' accounts for 40%, which is the core of making money and the step that tests patience the most. When to add? I only look for two signals: either the asset pulls back to a key support level (such as the previous low of a fluctuation platform), or there is a clear favorable development in the fundamentals (like a technical upgrade landing or regulatory progress breakthrough). In 2021, when I increased my position in a certain project, I waited for it to pull back to near the 200-day moving average, and decisively added 40% to my position, which directly contributed 60% to the total returns. Here’s a reminder: don’t add all at once to the main position; split it into 2-3 times to leave room in case of extreme market conditions.
The third wave of 'supplementary position' accounts for 30%, which is your 'safety cushion'. There are only two situations where you can use it: one is encountering a black swan event where the asset drops more than 20% in the short term; at this time, use 30% of your funds to supplement in batches and dilute costs; the second is when the trend stabilizes completely, breaking through the previous high and confirming with a pullback; at this time, supplementing can follow the trend to reap benefits. But remember: this 30% is not 'market rescue funds'; if the asset breaks down and the fundamentals deteriorate, decisively stop and keep cash rather than being stuck.
Some say my method is 'too conservative' and less exciting than going all in. But I’ve seen too many people earn money through luck, only to lose it all through skill. In the 2022 bear market, I knew a guy who went all in on a certain altcoin, going from a profit of a million to a debt of hundreds of thousands in just three months. In the crypto market, 'surviving' is always more important than 'making quick money'. My eight-figure assets were built up little by little using this 'clumsy method'.
Now I stay in hotels costing two thousand, not because I'm so 'amazing', but because I've figured out the temperament of this market: it doesn't reward impulsive gamblers, only those with a planned layout. If you're also a newcomer or have been scared off by chasing highs and cutting losses, why not try this '343 method'? Start with small funds to practice, stabilize your mindset, and pay attention to Yangyang.
