Have you ever been up at 3 AM frantically checking the market, your eyes as dry as the Sahara Desert, while your account balance is worse than a wallet after Singles' Day? Did you follow the crowd and gamble on 'hundredfold god coins', only to find that while others made gains, you missed out, and when you got in, the prices plummeted, turning your trades into a 'charity donation'?

As an old hunter who started with 800U and has been through the ups and downs of the crypto world for 6 years, I've seen too many small-cap players go from 'full of ambition' to 'leaving in disappointment'. It's not that the market isn't profitable, but 90% of people are just 'betting on price movements', and no one has learned how to 'survive'. Last winter, I met a brother whose 3600U account had dwindled to just 1200U, and he almost smashed his phone. Without giving him artificial intelligence predictions or recommending 'insider information', I taught him my three key 'survival principles'. Three months later, this guy made a comeback to over 30,000U, and now he calls me 'master' whenever he sees me! Today, I'm sharing this exclusive 'anti-loss guide' for small-cap investors, so those who understand can avoid three years of detours!

First trick: Mosquito leg meat strategy - be a 'stingy' short-term player.

Don't be fooled by those 'leveraged wealth' screenshots! Short-term trading in crypto is not about 'high-frequency trading', but rather 'precise shearing' - I personally only make 1-2 trades a day, and even one more feels tiring. The core logic is simple: 'small stop loss + stable take profit'.

When selecting targets, only choose two types: either mainstream coins with stable trading volume and controllable volatility, or potential altcoins with clear benefits that haven't been crazily speculated on yet (don't touch those air coins that don't even have a white paper!). Set a hard stop-loss line at 2%, like installing a 'fuse' on your account. Once triggered, run immediately; never hold onto the illusion of 'waiting for a rebound' - remember, short-term trading is like eating barbecue; no matter how fragrant the burnt meat is, you can't eat it, or you'll easily 'get diarrhea' (lose your capital).

That's how my apprentice did it: focusing only on two targets daily, taking profits at 5% and stopping, regardless of how much more it could rise. After three months, it seems like every time he earned 'small change', but little by little he accumulated a 20% profit, enough for him to enjoy two cups of Starbucks every day, which is quite nice!

Second trick: Winning by riding the trend - be a 'follower' in the market, not a 'contrarian'.

The dumbest thing in a bull market is to short against the trend; the most foolish operation in a bear market is to think about 'buying the dip'. My trading principle is: 'If the trend is not confirmed, play dead; when the trend comes, get on board decisively.'

How to judge the trend? No need to look at complex indicators, just look at the weekly chart - when the short-term moving average firmly stands above the long-term moving average (what old players call the 'turning signal'), and the trading volume expands, that's a 'green light'; if the K-line hops back and forth below the long-term moving average, no matter how tempting the rise is, it's a 'red light', don't even touch it. In November last year, when mainstream coins rose, I had my apprentice wait for a full two weeks, only entering when the weekly trend was fully confirmed, and the result was a direct gain of 35%.

Key operation: When profits reach 30%, take out the principal first! Set the remaining profit position to 'trailing stop', like fastening a seatbelt on a roller coaster. No matter how high it goes afterward, at least the principal is secured. Remember, the core of trend trading is not 'earning the most', but 'earning steadily' - just getting a piece of the fish is enough; don't be greedy for the fish head and tail, or you might get caught by the bones.

Third trick: Digital bulletproof vest - your 'emergency fund' is more important than anything.

In this highly volatile crypto market, true experts always have a 'Plan B' - which I often refer to as an 'emergency fund'. My own rule is to always keep 30% of the funds as a safety cushion, no matter how tempting the market is, this part of the money must not be touched.

During last December's major correction, how many people got 'wiped out' because they were fully invested? My apprentice relied on the 1200U emergency fund left from the 3600U to precisely add positions during the crash, not only avoiding losses, but also making a profit from the rebound. Remember, market corrections are not about 'cutting fingers', but about 'cutting down big trees' - those without an emergency fund are uprooted; those with one can sprout again after the storm.

Here's a 'life and death contract' I've used for 6 years: If a single trade loses more than 5%, immediately stop loss and exit; if profits exceed 10%, raise the stop-loss line to break-even, allowing profits to run. This set of rules is more reliable than a first love's vow, and no one who has followed it has lost all their capital.

In fact, there is no 'holy grail of trading' in the crypto world. What allows you to make money in the long run is not the ability to predict rises and falls, but an 'error immunity system' - knowing how much loss you can bear, knowing when to enter and exit, and knowing how to protect your capital during fluctuations.

I have seen too many small capital players who always think about 'getting rich quick', and as a result, either get cut or are educated by the market. The secret to turning 3600U into over 30,000U has never been about finding the 'hundredfold god coin', but rather learning to 'survive gracefully'. Only by staying alive can one wait for their own market opportunity.

Now that the market is gradually warming up, many newbies are preparing to rush in to 'make money'. But I want to say: don't rush to enter, first engrave these 3 sets of 'anti-cutting heart techniques' in your mind; don't think about getting rich quickly, first learn to preserve your capital.
