So let's start with my heart: Last summer, I almost smashed my keyboard into pieces, and the money in my account evaporated faster than the ice cream in my fridge, until I relied on three "lifesaving tricks" to recover my principal and even made enough to buy a new computer! Today, I'm not talking about vague market predictions, but rather the survival logic that I tested with real money; newcomers can at least avoid three years of detours after reading this.

Retail investors' lifesaving guide for digital assets: With these three tricks, I went from "almost closing my account" to steadily profiting

Last week, a fan said: "Teacher, why do I always lose money when I buy, but make money when I sell?" I almost laughed out loud when I looked at his trading record - either he was "all in because someone said it would rise," or he "wanted to wait for a double after making 5%, and ended up crying from losses." In this market that specializes in "defying expectations," it's more important to "avoid crashes" than to "guess price movements." I've managed to dodge three major corrections over the past few years, thanks to these three "counterintuitive strategies":

First method: Treat placing orders as 'entering ICU', the more cautious you are, the longer you can survive.

Now, every time before I click 'buy', I always ask myself three questions: 'Have I read the audit report for this project? Are there any large funds fleeing on-chain? Has there been any substantial progress recently (not just tweets and empty promises)?' Last year, before a certain 'star project' crashed, I decisively cut 10% of my position when I found that it 'only had heat but no landing', later it dropped by 80% directly— this is not luck, it's 'ICU thinking': doctors don't gamble with patients' lives, and neither should you gamble with your principal.

My position formula is more conservative: a single investment must not exceed 15% of total funds, and it must meet 'two real and one stable': fundamentals are real (with landing scenarios), funding is real (on-chain increase), sentiment is stable (not a sudden spike in air). Last month I used this method to buy a public chain token, made 22% in 10 days, the key is I slept soundly throughout, without having to watch the market until dawn.

Second method: Don't 'argue against the trend', being a 'smooth donkey' is more profitable.

Many people like to shout 'it's going to drop' when the market rises and 'it's going to rise' when it drops— I've seen the most exaggerated case when BTC broke a key point last year, he insisted on 'shorting at the top', and ended up getting wrecked. Remember: the market is not your girlfriend, it won't change direction just because you 'disagree'.

The 'bus following method' that I use is particularly simple:

  1. First train trial: The market just broke through (like stabilizing above a certain moving average), use 3% of funds to test the position, even if it's wrong, the loss won't be much;

  2. Morning peak ticket supplement: If there is a continuous increase for 3 days (not driven by news), then supplement 15% of the position, closely follow the trend;

  3. Off-peak seat reservation: Always keep 25% of flexible funds, in case the market pulls back, you can still have bullets to supplement the position, without being left staring blankly.

Just like a certain Layer2 token last month, I made 18% in 15 days from trial positions to supplementing the position, much more stable than those who 'bet everything waiting for a double'— making money isn't about who is faster, it's about who goes further.

Third method: 'pocket your profits', don't be a 'paper millionaire'.

What pains me the most is when fans say 'last year I made 50% and didn't take it out, now I'm down 30%'— this is like ordering a whole table of dishes at a restaurant, and then dumping it all without eating, pure waste. I now have a 'iron rule': as long as a single profit reaches 12%, immediately take out 40% (convert it into stable and secure assets), the remaining will be divided as '2-6-2': 20% stored as a 'safety cushion' (like low-risk financial products), 60% continue to follow the trend, 20% look for new opportunities.

Last month I did some cross-chain arbitrage, made 15% in 3 days, I first took out 40% to buy a new camera (rewarding myself and securing profits), the remaining money rolled again, and in the end, I made a total of 23%— don't think 'taking out money is a pity', the worst in the market are those who treat floating profits like property certificates, they disappear with the wind.

Finally, let me say something from the heart: don't be a 'gambler', be a 'long-term player'.

Recently, I keep seeing beginners asking 'how to turn 5000U into 100 times', I always advise: 'bro, first think about how to prevent 5000U from turning into 500U.' In this market, a crash is not scary, what's scary is always thinking about 'one big comeback', like my neighbor, who went all-in on some air coin last year, and now lives on instant noodles every day— this is not 'investment', it's 'giving away money'.
