I've seen too many newcomers in the crypto market rush in with dreams of 'going all in to buy cars and houses,' only to lose their principal and be left with nothing but their underwear in less than half a month—don't blame the market for being heartless, first think about whether you've treated this place like a casino?
I am not a wealthy person with resources, nor do I have any insider information. When I started, I had 2000U in my pocket, and now my account balance is nearing the threshold of 1 million U. You might not believe it, but what I relied on was not the 'godly operations' of chasing highs and cutting lows, but three clumsy methods that my peers consider 'too conservative.'
First tip: Treat your principal as an 'experimental field'; practice respect before talking about making money.
When I first entered the market, I divided 2,000 U into 5 parts, using a maximum of 400 U for each trade – that's right, even if I saw a '100% rise' in the market, I never touched the other parts of the money. More importantly, I set stop-loss and take-profit lines for every trade, keeping the stop-loss line strictly within 5% of the principal, and setting the take-profit line at 15%-20% of the expected profit before taking profits.
During that time, I was often teased by friends for 'missing opportunities to get rich', but I knew in my heart: what beginners lack most is not the ability to make money, but a sense of respect for risk. Chasing highs and cutting losses is like holding a lit firecracker; it looks lively but is actually dangerous. Sticking to a losing position is even more foolish, like trying to tough it out with pneumonia when you only have a cold; a small loss can turn into total ruin. I would rather miss 10 market opportunities than make one foolish move – after all, preserving your principal gives you the right to stay in the market and 'wait for opportunities.'
Second tip: Adding to positions when in profit is like 'feeding pigeons'; feed in batches to prevent them from flying away.
As the account gradually climbed to 50,000 U, I adjusted my position strategy, but the single position ratio was still controlled around 25%. When encountering a favorable market, I never go all in at once, but rather increase my position in 3-4 batches: adding 30% when the market starts, another 30% when it breaks through key levels, and then adding 40% after a pullback stabilizes.
Although this approach seems to 'earn less,' it allows you to steadily capture the core profits in the mid-trend. The crypto market is like a temperamental wild horse; if you pull the reins hard, it will kick you. Only by pacing yourself with its rhythm can you ride steadily and go far. Many people fall due to 'greed'; when the market is good, they go all in, and a pullback can throw them off the horse, even if they guessed the direction correctly.
Third tip: Taking profits isn’t about 'fearing losses'; it’s about putting the brakes on greed.
On the day my account broke 200,000 U, I didn’t think about 'pushing it to 500,000' but immediately set a rule: withdraw 20% of the account profit every Friday. When someone asked me if I was afraid of a market crash, I laughed – I was afraid of getting carried away after making quick money.
I've seen too many people make tens of thousands U into hundreds of thousands U, only to crash back down within a month because they thought they were invincible, opening positions recklessly and not setting stop-losses. Taking profits isn’t admitting defeat; it’s putting the brakes on greed. Just like climbing a mountain, when you reach halfway, you should put down the heavy items in your backpack to lighten your load and climb higher. In the crypto market, 'stability' is the biggest profit, and 'staying alive' is a thousand times more important than 'making quick money.'
Last week, a fan who followed my trades grew 800 U to 12,000 U and withdrew profits on time, sending me a message saying, 'I finally feel secure in the market for the first time.' In fact, the method is never difficult; the hard part is that some people always think about 'taking shortcuts.'
I often tell my fans: The crypto market is not an amusement park; there is no 'beginner's protection period,' but it is also not a bottomless pit. As long as you follow the rules and have patience, you can still roll out a snowball even starting from a few thousand U. Those who shout 'get rich overnight' every day are either the scalpers or the ones about to be scalped.
If you also want to 'earn steadily' in the market, why not start with 'splitting the principal and setting stop-losses'? Follow me, and next time we can talk about 'how to judge which markets are the opportunities you can understand' – after all, making money within your understanding is so easy that you can even smile in your sleep.
