I have been trading coins for eight years, and the most unforgettable crazy experience happened during the legendary wave of altcoins in 2017. $ADA
At that time, I focused on ADA, gradually building my position from $0.03, and who would have thought that in just three months, it soared to $1.2—my account skyrocketed nearly 40 times.
Every day, the first thing I did upon waking was to check the market, watching the zeros behind the numbers continuously rise, and I even began to consider buying a house outright.
But the most fatal thing was that slight greed—I didn’t take profits.
Later, ADA plummeted back to $0.2, with profits evaporating by 80%, and the house I was so close to buying was gone.
That experience taught me a powerful lesson:
A good buyer is a student, but a good seller is a master.
After eight years, I have summarized a set of profit-taking and stop-loss methods that ordinary people can use, allowing them to maintain a steady rhythm without having to watch the market all day:
✅ Profit-taking: I use the "stair-step profit-taking method"
Taking $1 as the buying price:
When it rises to $2: first sell 30% to recover the cost
When it rises to $3: sell another 30% to lock in most of the profits
Set a "trailing stop loss" for the remaining 40%: as long as it falls back 15% from the highest point, automatically liquidate
This way, you can ride the main upward wave without being wiped out by a single bearish candle.
✅ Stop-loss: I have only one ironclad rule
Single trade losses are not allowed to exceed 5% of the principal.
Immediately setting a conditional stop-loss at -10% after buying is like buying insurance for the trade.
Don’t be afraid of missing market opportunities—there are always chances in the crypto world, but if you lose your principal, you really have lost everything.
In eight years, I have seen too many people get rich overnight, and even more who went bankrupt during the wild fluctuations.
Those who truly survive until the end are not the prediction kings or geniuses, but—the ones who strictly adhere to discipline.
I once had to stop-loss on a trade, and then that coin doubled shortly after; my friends laughed at me for being conservative.
But three months later, it went straight to zero.
At that moment, I truly understood:
In the crypto world, making money quickly is not a skill; staying alive is the hard truth.
