Do you remember that early morning, when the numbers in my account stabbed my eyes painfully? Two years of savings, twenty of them, just like that they were gone. A friend called: “Give it up, this industry eats people alive.”
I didn’t reply, just left all the chat groups. Sitting in front of the screen, flipping through each candlestick, from dusk until dawn. Until a certain moment, I recognized a familiar shape—an opportunity was coming.
At that time, I understood that to continue in this line of work, relying solely on hard work is not enough; I needed my own strategy. What I’m sharing today can be considered a survival manual that I earned with real money.
1. Scout first, then charge.
The most common mistake for beginners is to rush in with a full position as soon as the market moves. My habit is to only put a small portion of the position to test the waters when the trend just emerges, around one-tenth. Once the trend is confirmed, I use floating profits to add to my position, and the capital is absolutely not touched easily. This is not cowardice, but leaving enough room for observation.
2. Set a baseline in advance.
Before placing any trade, the stop-loss level must be set in advance. I set a line for myself at 3% of the total capital; if it touches that line, I withdraw without hesitation. You have to think this way: this is not cutting losses, it's stopping the bleeding. On the battlefield, life is more important than face; in the market, capital is more realistic than fantasy.
3. Let profits run on their own.
Don't rush to withdraw profits. I reinvest the profits into the next trade, using the market's money to earn more market money. What really needs to be bet on is not how much your little capital can grow, but whether you can stay in the car when the trend comes.
4. Only trade in phases you understand.
The market is mostly volatile, and there aren't many truly trending markets. My principle is to stay in cash and wait when the direction is unclear. Many people lose money not because they missed the opportunity, but because they acted too frequently at times when they shouldn't have. Remember, missing out means at most no profit; making mistakes can lead to real losses.
5. Get off in segments, stay calm.
When a wave of market surges, I usually take profits in three batches gradually. This way, whether the market continues to rise or pull back later, my mindset will not collapse. Because part of the profit has already been secured, the rest can let the bullets fly a little longer.
To be honest, it was that wave of market that really turned my fortunes around. The first two weeks were small trials to find the feeling, and then the trend exploded in the third week, causing my account to take off directly. But do you say it's all luck? I disagree. When luck comes, you have to be able to catch it, and the five points above are my catching gestures.
There are no permanent champions in this field, but prepared people always have a better chance than those who go in empty-handed. My experience may not be suitable for everyone, but if you have ever experienced that kind of frustration, you might understand what I'm saying.
Keep the rhythm steady, manage your hands; the next wave might be just around the corner.#加密市场反弹 #加密市场观察 $ETH
