Don't scroll away! Can you believe it? At 35, I own two properties in Hangzhou—one for self-use along the river and one for rent in the old city. I didn't rely on my parents or change jobs; all of it was earned from seven years of struggling in the crypto circle. But early on, I almost defaulted on my mortgage because of this. Today, I'm sharing my 'foolish method' that I didn't dare to tell anyone, which can help beginners at least avoid losing for three years!

I was originally involved in internet operations, holding 300,000 in savings and wanting to start a side business, so I jumped into the crypto circle. Looking back now, I was like a 'newborn calf not afraid of tigers,' daring to enter the market without even understanding K-lines. As a result, I hit a big market correction six months after entering, and the money in my account shrank directly to 80,000. The over 6,000 monthly mortgage felt like a mountain pressing down on me, and at night I would lie awake staring at the ceiling, calculating: if I lose more, where will I live if the house is taken away?

But I didn't follow the crowd to cut losses — this was the first life-saving trick I learned in the crypto circle. People around me were panicking, asking at three in the morning whether to sell. I, however, turned off the operating screen: I knew that the dumbest thing in the crypto circle is to 'panic and act recklessly'. Think about it, if you buy a fruit tree, and it just starts bearing fruit, would you chop it down just because a gust of wind knocked down a few fruits? At that time, I adhered to my own 'dumb method': not focusing on short-term fluctuations, but looking at the big trend.

The most memorable thing was two years ago when a certain mainstream crypto asset fell to its historical low. I split the remaining 80,000 into 4 batches for building positions — here's a quick tip: Why do it in batches? Because you never know where the 'bottom' is. Entering in 3-4 times won't get you stuck due to a full position in one go, and you won't miss the rebound. At that time, I even turned off my phone notifications and didn’t watch the market every day, just waiting for the trend to reverse.

Result 4 months later, that wave of market directly made my bottom position increase by 280 times! Looking at the numbers on the operating screen, I refreshed it three times, thinking the system was stuck — 28 million ah, more than all the money I earned in the past 5 years doing operations. That day I didn't go out to celebrate; instead, I took out my notebook and wrote down the operational logic of that time, which later became my 'trading iron rules'. Now I review it every day before the market opens.

First, mindset is more important than any indicator. Especially when you have little capital, you need to be 'stable'! I have seen too many beginners learn MACD today, chase hot stocks tomorrow, panic and cut losses at dawn, and in the end, they are like a bear blindfolded trying to pick corn — I did the same thing in my early years, and only understood after losing money that the more anxious you are to make money, the more money will evade you.

Second, returns are always linked to understanding. Don't think that just practicing on a demo account will allow you to make money; only when you enter with real money will you understand how to write the two words 'fear'. When doing medium to long-term trades, be sure to leave enough money for living expenses; don't invest all your meal money into it! My current habit is: if it rises beyond expectations, reduce by 20%; if it falls below support, add 10%; don't be greedy and don't panic.

Third, stop-loss must not wait! If it breaks your preset point, walk away immediately! I suffered losses in my early years because I didn't stop-loss; a small loss could have been stopped, but I stubbornly held on until it became a big loss. Remember, as long as the principal is there, there is a chance to recover; if the principal is gone, you don't even have the qualification to play.

By the way, if you do short-term trading, I only look at the 30-minute K-line: using MACD to find turning points, with KDJ helping to gauge strength. But I have to advise beginners: short-term trading seems to bring money quickly, but in fact, it has the most pitfalls. Now, 90% of my trades are medium to long-term, after all, in the crypto circle, 'slow is fast'.

In fact, making money in the crypto circle is not that complicated. Why do most people experience 'seven losses, two break-even, and one profit'? The key is 'greed'. I have tried at least 5 different strategies and finally found: rather than changing methods every day, it's better to practice one trading system until you can operate it 'with your eyes closed'. Over time, you will naturally make a profit.

In 2025, when my account surpassed eight figures, what I was most grateful for was not how much I earned, but that I did not lose the 'stable' original intention. When I was groping in the crypto circle in my early years, no one told me these things, and I stumbled through countless pitfalls before getting through.

Now I want to pass the 'light' on: If you are also a confused beginner in the crypto circle, or have lost money because of panic, follow me! Next, I will gradually reveal the specific steps for building positions in batches, and the details of observing turning points on the 30-minute K-line. In the next update, I will also teach you how to calculate the 'safety cushion' to avoid almost running out of supply like I did in my early years.

Have you ever lost a lot of money because you didn't stop-loss? Or didn't know how to choose the timing for building positions? Share your experiences in the comments, and I will pick one friend to help analyze the operational logic. In the next update, let’s not miss each other!
