After 8 years in the industry, I have seen too many magical moments in the crypto market: some have become overnight millionaires through new coins, while others have lost their down payment in just three days by chasing highs and lows. But what truly impresses me is a senior who has been deeply involved for many years—investing 100,000, now holding assets worth 42 million. One thing he said has stuck with me: '90% of the people in this market are emotional puppets following the crowd; if you can control your mindset, it becomes your long-term ATM; if you can't, you are someone else's field of leeks.'
In recent years, I have incorporated the experiences of my predecessors into my own practice, summarizing a set of 'anti-smart' money-making logic. I don't engage in contracts or chase new concepts, yet I have helped many fans climb out of the loss mire. Some even recouped over 600,000 in half a year and happily acquired a vehicle. Today, I'm sharing the goods I've been holding back; if you understand and follow along, you can also earn steady money amidst the fluctuations.
1. Core principle: Don't be greedy for 'small profits,' and don't step into 'deep pits.'
This may seem like nonsense, but it's a hurdle that 90% of people can't get over. I've seen too many people fall into two extremes: either they panic and take profits after making 3%, only to watch the asset double and regret it; or they stubbornly hold onto the obsession of 'making big money,' and when the market reverses, they go from profit to deep losses, ultimately cutting their losses at the lowest point.
My solution is simple: replace 'emotion' with 'discipline.' Set your profit expectations (for example, a periodic target of 20%-30%); if it's not reached, endure the volatility. At the same time, draw a stop-loss line (accepting a maximum of 10% drawdown); once triggered, exit decisively. Don't get tangled up in 'selling at the highest point' or gamble on 'it will rebound after a drop.' With a stable mindset, operations won't distort.
2. Asset selection: focus only on 'hardcore assets,' and avoid 'air stories.'
The crypto market is never short of the hype of 'hundredfold new coins,' but since I started working in this field, I've only done one thing: filter out leading assets that begin to rise slowly after a thorough drop. These 'hardcore assets' validated by the market are like quality blue chips that have hit bottom, with strong risk resistance and clear rebound logic.
My trading habit is: first take 10% of the position to build a base, without guessing the 'absolute bottom.' Wait until the asset stabilizes continuously (for example, when the weekly chart holds above the moving average and trading volume steadily increases) before taking action. Those newly launched coins that are hyped up? Don't even touch them—what you think is an Easter egg is likely a landmine buried by someone else. Being steady is always more reliable than 'taking a gamble.'
3. Position-adding logic: confirm the trend before acting, don't be greedy for the 'thrill of catching the bottom.'
Many people like to 'buy more as the price falls' when the asset is declining, euphemistically calling it 'averaging down,' only to end up stuck halfway up the mountain. I never try to catch the bottom; I only add positions after the trend is clear: confirm that the asset has entered an upward channel (for example, three consecutive weeks of positive closing, and the pullback does not break key support) and then add 20%-30% of the position during a pullback.
Don't think 'the cost is too high to lose out'; the scariest thing in the crypto market is 'I thought it had bottomed,' but in reality, 'there are still eighteen layers of hell.' Only add positions after the trend is stable, even if it's 5%-10% higher than the lowest point, it's better than passively waiting after being stuck—staying alive gives you the chance to make money, and there's no need to bet on highs and lows with the market.
4. Cash-out technique: 'withdraw principal' when profitable, let the rest of the profits fly.
This is the step I value most: money not in your pocket is always just a number on the book. My rule is: when each wave of increase reaches expectations (for example, 20%), first withdraw the principal and half of the profits, and use the remaining with a 'trailing stop' to follow. For example, if the asset rises from 10 to 15, first take back the principal + 2.5 in profit, then set the stop-loss line at 13 for the remaining 2.5 in profit. Even if it pulls back later, you can still keep most of the profits.
Last year, a fan followed my advice and operated like this; within six months, he made back over 600,000 he previously lost and even bought a BMW X3. He said the best thing was 'no longer being led by unrealized profits'; this is the core: don't be greedy to 'sell at the highest point,' just earn what you can control, which can accumulate over time.
To be honest, the crypto market is not lacking in smart people; what it lacks are the 'honest people' who can control their hands and be patient. While others are chasing price increases and decreases, staying up late for a 3-point fluctuation, you can follow the trend step by step, and instead become one of the few who make money.
Those who think 'quick in and out to make big money' are mostly just feeding the market; those who are willing to calm down and do 'simple operations' can survive the volatility and earn long-term profits. If you also don't want to be a 'retail investor,' follow me for more practical tips (such as how to judge asset stability and how to set trailing stops). We're not playing empty games; let's slowly get rich together in the crypto market—after all, making steady money is more appealing than making quick money, and staying alive is more important than anything else. Don't you agree?
