The numbers on the screen fluctuate, but what truly determines victory or defeat is the heart behind the screen.
My old friends who entered the circle around the same time should still remember those crazy days. Every day in the group, there were screams of 'I doubled again' and ' skyrocketed 10 times', as if the crypto world was an ATM that never shuts down.
Three years have passed, and most of those 'masters' who frequently shared their trades are now silent. As for me, starting from 1000U, my account has steadily reached 100WU.
My deepest realization can be summed up in one sentence: the crypto world is not about who earns faster, but about who lasts longer. Today, I will share with you this decision-making system that has allowed me to grow steadily, based on three key principles.
1. Control position practice: take small steps quickly, refuse to go all in.
I remember when I first entered the market, I allocated 1000U like this: split it into 5 parts, each part 200U. Yes, that little! Set stop losses and take profits for every trade, never chase the market, never hold onto losing trades, and never bet against the trend, only take opportunities I can understand.
The essence of this stage is: exchange the smallest cost for the greatest experience.
Many newcomers fantasize about 'doubling overnight', but the result is often a return to zero overnight. I've seen too many people turn from shallow positions to deep ones because they held on, and ultimately had to cut losses and exit. The cruel truth in the cryptocurrency world is: you may have seen the right direction, but you died in position management.
My discipline is very simple:
Strictly control single losses within 5% of total funds.
Stop once monthly earnings reach 10%-20%, never be greedy.
Investing with spare money, even if all is lost, will not affect life.
Don't turn investment into gambling; this is the first lesson of survival.
2. Profit accumulation: let profits run, rather than letting positions expand.
When the account grows to 5000U, my strategy starts to upgrade. The core idea is: after confirming the trend, gradually increase the position to capture the golden segments.
I won't fully bet before the market starts, but will first invest a portion of funds to test the waters. After confirming the trend, I will gradually increase the position using profits. Before each increase, ensure there are already profits as a safety cushion.
Behind this is a harsh reality: in the cryptocurrency world, high leverage is the fastest highway to bankruptcy. I suffered severe losses due to leverage in my early years, and later set a rule: even if the trend is very clear, leverage should not exceed 3 times.
True art is not about how much you can earn at once, but how to protect profits and let them grow steadily.
3. Take profit withdrawal: lock in profits, prevent the illusion of wealth.
After my account broke 20,000U, I did the most important thing: lock in a portion of profits for withdrawal every week.
It's not about fearing losses, but about fearing that I might get carried away. The scariest thing in the cryptocurrency world is not loss, but the illusion of wealth—thinking that money is yours when the market is just temporarily holding it.
The psychological significance of withdrawing is far greater than the financial significance: it allows you to turn the numbers on the screen into real wealth.
My withdrawal strategy is very simple:
Withdraw a fixed percentage of profits every week.
Keep enough 'game chips' to continue participating.
Invest withdrawal funds into low-risk assets, completely isolate from market risks.
Many people make a fortune in a bull market and give it all back in a bear market simply because they lack this action. The goddess of fortune in the cryptocurrency world doesn't like round numbers, nor does she like show-offs.
The most core decision-making system: should I get in?
I never get caught up in 'how much can I earn this time', I only judge 'should I get in this time'. The core of this decision-making system is:
Trend judgment: only trade in upward trends, do not guess tops or bottoms. When prices stabilize above important moving averages, and the moving averages are in a bullish arrangement, it is a clear upward trend; I only go long, not short.
Signal confirmation: must meet three conditions simultaneously: technical breakthrough, volume cooperation, and market sentiment resonance to enter. Better to miss out than to make a mistake.
In this industry, those who can survive until the end of a bull market are naturally in the top 5%. Remember, the longer you survive, the more profits will grow on their own.
The market is never short of stories of overnight wealth, but it always lacks people who ‘survive’. What truly determines how far you can go is not the leverage ratio, but the height of your understanding and the execution of discipline.
Investing is essentially a form of cultivation; the market is just a mirror reflecting your inner self.#巨鲸动向 $ETH
