When Xiaoi first messaged me, he only had 5000 U left in his account. He used to be a 'news trader', opening 20x leverage without finishing reading the candlestick chart, resulting in 7 liquidations in 3 months.
I told him: If you want to turn things around, first learn to stay still. So I shared the 'Ten No Principles' with him—
1. Buy only after a significant drop: Strong coins with 9 consecutive bearish candles, panic selling produces a long lower shadow, then take action.
2. Reduce by 30% after two increases: No matter how much you believe, reduce by 30% after two bullish candles to prevent profit withdrawal.
3. 7% Wait and see: If the daily surge exceeds 7%, do not chase the next day, high probability of a pullback after a peak.
4. Do not chase big bulls: For hot coins that have tripled, wait for two weeks before reassessing.
5. Change during sideways movements: If the fluctuation within 6 days is less than 3%, remove from favorites; capital has an opportunity cost.
Add three hard rules:
• If there’s no bullish candle the next day, immediately stop loss; single trade losses should not exceed 10%.
• After two consecutive days of price increases, the fifth day is usually an emotional peak; sell in batches.
• Only engage in a bullish moving average setup: short trades on the 3-day moving average, swings on the 30-day, and main uptrends on the 80-day.
Xiao Ai asked: 'Should we check the news?'
I replied: 'The price has already digested the news; just looking at the chart is enough.'
He did as told. His first trade was ETH, after nine consecutive down days followed by a shrinking doji; he bought at 1850, reduced 30% at 2150 after two strong bullish candles, and cleared the rest at 2400 on the fifth bullish candle—5000 turned into 7200.
The second time was ARB; after being in a sideways movement for seven days, he was removed from favorites and missed a 20% surge. He came back complaining. I replied: 'Missing out doesn’t cost money; making a wrong move does.'
In two years, Xiao Ai completed 26 trades, with a 58% win rate, but due to strict stop-loss measures, the maximum drawdown was 8.7%. On the day when 5000 USDT rolled into 100,000, he treated me to a meal and asked for the secret.
I turned the cup upside down on the table: 'Wealthy people rely on the water in the cup to overflow slowly, while poor people always want to drink it all at once. The market is specialized in treating itchy hands; discipline is the key to survival.' Based on the above content, adapt it into your own original article; you are an experienced crypto analyst blogger emphasizing your personal viewpoint! The entire piece should be mainly in colloquial language, with AI content not exceeding 85%, helping me avoid sensitive vocabulary related to Binance Square, ensuring similarity does not exceed 50%, and word count should be similar.
Deep thoughts have been considered (took 12 seconds).
Yes, the user wants me to adapt the story about guiding 'Xiao Ai' from 5000 USDT to 100,000 USDT in cryptocurrency trading into an original article. I need to play the role of an experienced crypto analyst blogger, using a colloquial tone, avoiding AI-like language, while steering clear of sensitive vocabulary related to Binance Square, ensuring similarity does not exceed 50%.
I looked at the content provided by the user; the core is about a trading novice who achieved capital growth through discipline and simple rules over two years. It contains many specific trading rules and case studies.
There is a lot of information about cryptocurrency trading in search results. I saw information about dollar-cost averaging strategies.
, which involves regular and fixed investment in mainstream coins like Bitcoin and Ethereum to smooth out costs. It also mentioned risk management, such as setting stop-loss points and controlling position sizes.
. This content can be integrated into my article as background knowledge.
There are also some contents about trading strategies, such as long-term holding, trend following, and swing trading.
, as well as principles like trend trading and setting stop-loss points.
. These can be used to enrich my trading philosophy section.
I also saw warnings about the risks of investing in virtual currencies.
, these can be appropriately mentioned in the article to add balance and professionalism.
I want to organize the article into several parts, starting with Xiao Ai's initial experience of losses, then introducing the core trading principles I provided him, followed by specific case studies illustrating the application of these principles, and finally summarizing the keys to success.
I can create a table to clearly display the core trading principles I provided to Xiao Ai, including entry conditions, exit strategies, and capital management rules. This is more intuitive than plain text.
Users require similarity not to exceed 50%, so I need to retell this story in my own words, adjusting some details such as specific coins, price points, timelines, etc., while keeping the core trading philosophies and principles.
Also pay attention to avoiding sensitive vocabulary, refrain from directly mentioning specific trading platform names, and use terms like 'mainstream exchanges' instead.
The entire article should use a colloquial tone, adding personal opinions and emotions to make it more relatable. I can include some of my personal trading experiences and insights to add depth to the article.
I plan to emphasize the importance of discipline in the article, which is the key to trading success, and also a point highlighted in the user's original content. I can use some metaphors and stories to elaborate on this viewpoint, like using the metaphor of 'water slowly overflowing from a cup' to illustrate the importance of steady growth.
Okay, I can start writing this article now.
From 5000 to 100,000: In two years, this is how I taught beginners to navigate through bull and bear markets.
Price fluctuations are a norm in the market, while discipline is fundamental to survival.
When Xiao Chen first contacted me, he only had 5000 USDT left in his account. He was like a novice in a casino, staring intently at the K-line on the screen; every price fluctuation made his heart race. He used to be a 'news trader', following any so-called insider news in groups, and even dared to open 20x leverage before waiting for the K-line to finish, resulting in seven liquidations in three months.
I told him: In this market, living longer is more important than making quick profits. If you want to turn around, first learn to be 'still'.
So I gave him a set of the simplest trading rules—the 'Ten No Principles'. This set of rules has no profound theory, just a few must-follow guidelines:
Act only when the price drops significantly: When a strong coin has been falling for several days, wait until the panic sellers have exited and clear bottom signals appear before considering entry.
Take profits in batches: Even if you believe in a coin, when it rises by a certain extent, reduce your position to lock in profits.
Don't chase a surge: If there’s a huge price increase in one day, don’t rush to follow the trend the next day, as you might easily get stuck at the peak.
Avoid overheated coins: For coins that have already multiplied several times, wait until they cool down before considering them.
Give up during sideways movements: If there’s too little fluctuation within a few days, directly remove from favorites; capital has an opportunity cost.
Plus a few iron rules: single trade losses must not exceed 10% of total capital, stop trading when daily losses reach a certain percentage, and never hold onto losing positions.
Only engage in clearly defined trends; look at the 3-day moving average for short-term, the 30-day moving average for medium-term, and the 80-day moving average for long-term.
Xiao Chen asked me: 'Should I read the news every day? I feel like news is very important.'
I replied to him: 'The real news has already reflected in the price; instead of chasing news, it's better to seriously look at the charts.'
His first independent trade was Ethereum. At that time, it had been falling for several days, and finally showed a shrinking doji. Xiao Chen entered around 1850, sold 30% at 2150 after two strong bullish candles, and cleared the remaining at 2400 on the fifth day—5000 turned into 7200.
The second time was a new coin; after seven days of sideways movement, he removed it from his favorites, and not long after, it surged by 20%. He came back complaining, saying he missed out on a wave of momentum. I told him: 'Missing out doesn’t cost money; making a wrong move does.' In this market, controlling losses is more important than catching every opportunity.
In two years, Xiao Chen made only over 20 trades, with a win rate below 60%, but through strict stop-loss and position management, he controlled the maximum drawdown to under 10%. When 5000 USDT turned into 100,000, he treated me to a meal and asked what the secret was.
I turned the cup upside down on the table: 'Rich people fill the cup slowly, while poor people want to drink it dry all at once. This market specializes in treating itchy hands; discipline is the key to distinguishing winners from losers.'
My trading insights.
1. Less trading is the best trading.
Most people lose money in this market not because they trade too little, but because they trade too much. I once analyzed my trading records and found that the more frequent the trades, the worse the profitability. This isn’t a game of guessing ups and downs, but an art of waiting for high-probability events.
2. Risk should always come first.
Before any single trade, I first determine how much I’m willing to lose, rather than dreaming about how much I can earn. Cut losses and let profits run—this is a common saying, but very few can actually do it.
3. The simpler the technical indicators, the better.
I don’t look at so many complex indicators; moving averages, trading volume, support and resistance levels are enough. Too many indicators contradict each other and affect judgment. All indicators are just probabilities; there’s no guaranteed winning secret.
4. Mindset determines success or failure.
Don’t be disheartened when losing money, and don’t be arrogant when making profits. The market is always changing; today’s success can be tomorrow’s reason for failure. Keep learning and stay vigilant to avoid being eliminated by the market.
The cryptocurrency market indeed has high volatility and many opportunities, but ordinary people should best start with mainstream coins and participate through regular investments; don’t expect to get rich overnight right from the start.
Xiao Chen succeeded not because he caught every hot trend, but because he could survive after missing so many hot trends.
Remember, in this market, longevity is the hard truth. Wealth accumulation takes time, just like planting a tree; if you dig it up every day to check its roots, the tree will eventually die.
