Brothers, let me talk about myself.
I wasn't born knowing this either. A few years ago, I was just like you, stepping into this market with a bit of savings in my pocket, having stumbled into every pitfall, experiencing explosions, losses, and encountering frustrating matters. The hardest part wasn't losing money; it was that feeling of not knowing which way to go in utter darkness, and I understand that all too well.
How did I climb out later? To put it bluntly, it was the lessons learned from falling that turned into the map in my hands. Today, let’s not talk about the abstract; let me share some practical insights with you.
1. The first bucket of gold relies not on 'courage', but on 'rules'.
At the beginning, when the funds were small, everyone wanted to grow quickly. I tried various methods, but later found that during the small capital phase, discipline is more effective than any genius strategy.
At that time, I set a strict rule for myself: only use a very small portion of money to 'test the waters', focusing only on the hottest one or two directions at that time. The goal is very simple: not to seek instant success, but to ensure that every move is on point. For example, using a little bit of capital to earn, I would take out some profits, and continue with the rest. After a few consecutive successes, I would force myself to stop. This is not cowardice; it's a breathing technique to survive in the market.
How specifically to look at the market?
Sprinting: I focus on one or two mainstream ones, looking at short cycle charts, acting quickly, and not getting attached to battles.
Swing trading: use small positions with moderate tools to make moves in slightly larger cycles, and steadily convert the profits into Bitcoin or Ethereum to hold.
Trend: usually don't act lightly, only when you see those particularly favorable risk-reward opportunities do you consider putting in more chips. Until then, just be patient.
Just stupidly repeat; only then can the capital curve slowly climb out of the pit and start to rise. This process is not about technique, but mindset.
2. From 'rolling snowballs' to 'lying flat', the mindset needs to shift.
Once the principal becomes thicker, the strategy needs to change. In a bull market, the easiest way to lose money is to operate blindly.
During this stage, I mainly do two things with most of my positions:
'Keel': put the majority in Bitcoin and Ethereum. Don't think it's slow; in a bull market, they never neglect those who hold them for real. This is the foundation of your confidence.
'Satellite positions': use a small amount of funds that don't affect your mindset to scout a few potentials that you feel could be promising. Even if you only hit one out of ten, that's enough. This bets on the upside, while the 'keel' protects your downside.
Remember, in a bull market, most people lose money due to their impatience. When it's time to act, act; when it's time to lie down, you must be able to lie down.
3. These years, the market has taught me a few hard lessons.
This is all exchanged for real money; think about it:
Looking at 'volume' is like looking at 'life': slow rises and quick falls may be opportunities; if it shoots up and then cascades down, you often need to be cautious. A market without trading volume is like a stagnant pool; no matter how you draw the price, it's all illusory.
Don't rush to reach out during a crash: especially after the first rebound following a flash crash, that is often not a lifebuoy. The real bottom requires patience to wait for it to come out by itself, and only when it stops making new lows should you consider it.
The scariest thing is not the hustle and bustle, but the silence: when prices are high but trading volume has disappeared, and everything is silent, this is often the calm before a big storm.
Learning to 'stay in cash' is a compulsory course: when you can't understand or earn, force yourself to step away from the screen. Don't be greedy or afraid; only earn the money you truly understand. This is harder than any technique, but it is useful.
Finally, let's talk about mindset.
I used to think that this market was a matter of life and death. I don't think that way anymore. I feel like we are all people walking in the dark. When walking alone, it can be unsettling, and it's easy to fall into a pit; but if you can see that there are lights shining not far away, knowing that someone is walking with you makes you feel much more at ease.
I am not a deity; I have just been groping in the dark for a long time. The light in my hand shines a little earlier. I share my route and the pitfalls I see with you.
I am willing to hold this light a little higher.
The road is still long. If you are also on the road, why not walk together and support each other.
