For nine years, friends around me who traded cryptocurrencies have changed over and over again, but my twenty thousand yuan principal has been steadily growing in my account. To be honest, I really don't have any talent for trading cryptocurrencies, nor do I rely on metaphysical luck; I just use a set of methods that my friends mock as 'too rigid and too slow.'
But the market is really interesting: sometimes, slow is actually the fastest way.
1. Money must be separated in order to go far on the road.
The money in my account is always divided into five parts. Each time I place an order, I only use one part, and I strictly adhere to a 10% loss limit on any single transaction—this means that even if I get extremely unlucky and make five wrong bets, my account still has half a life left. However, the crypto world is filled with volatility; as long as you catch a real trend once, all previous losses can be recovered. In the crypto world, first learn to protect your life, then think about getting rich.
2. Don't compete with the market; it’s more stubborn than you.
When the market drops, don't always think 'it's the bottom' and rush to buy; when it rises, don't be too excited and sell hastily. The trend is there; it's just that most people don't have the patience to wait. I learned from losses that going with the flow is ten times easier than stubbornly holding on.
3. Coins that skyrocket are like fireworks, beautiful but hot to handle.
Those coins that double in a day tantalize the heart, right? But now when I see this kind, I tend to keep my distance. The most expensive tuition in the market is often buying at the moment of peak. If you can control your hands, you've already won half the battle.
4. Indicators are maps, not the car you drive.
When the MACD golden cross moves up, I consider it a bullish signal; if there's a death cross on the zero line, I think about reducing my position. There’s also an iron rule: only add to profitable positions, never average down on losing ones — this isn't technique, it’s an emotional firewall.
5. Volume is more honest than price; trends are seen through volume.
A real breakout must be characterized by low position and volume increase + moving averages turning collectively. I basically don't look at those that spike up with no volume. Don't chase highs, don't bet on rebounds, only operate in clearly defined trends; I might miss some opportunities, but I'll avoid many pitfalls.
6. Reviewing trades late at night is my most valuable habit.
After each trade, I must force myself to write a few sentences: Why did I enter? Why did I exit? Where did I go wrong? This isn't self-criticism; it's real growth. The market doesn't lie, it's often our own memories that deceive us.
Over the years, I've increasingly felt that what the market favors most isn't smart people, but those who can 'stay steady.' Repeatedly doing simple things, combined with time, is the best strategy.
Perhaps my approach isn't stimulating enough, but it allows me to sleep soundly — in the crypto world, that's already quite luxurious. #加密市场反弹 #加密市场观察 $ETH
