That transfer record quietly lies in my phone, 80,000 three years ago, 800,000 three years later. In this cryptocurrency game, I've finally transformed from bait into the angler.
Last night I received a bank deposit notification, and suddenly there was an extra 800,000 in my account, which left me dazed for a few seconds. I pulled out the transfer record from three years ago — 'Deposit 80,000', and at that moment I truly realized how long this journey has been.
The nights of liquidation, the pain of cutting losses, the joy of doubling, all have settled into today's calmness. Many people think making money in the crypto world relies on luck, but I know very well: what truly helps you navigate through bull and bear markets is discipline, system, and a constant reverence for the market.
Today, I want to put aside tricks and share a few key insights that have helped me survive and thrive.
01 Diversifying funds is the lifeline for survival.
I have seen too many people go all in; when the market moves, it's either heaven or hell. But true trading is not about gambling; it's about probability and management.
I divide my positions into three parts, like deploying troops in battle:
40% for the market: BTC and ETH are my core holdings; I don't seek to get rich quickly, just to be as stable as a mountain.
30% Betting on narrative-driven sectors: for example, last year I positioned myself in the AI track early, not eating the fish heads or tails, just taking the thickest part.
30% Flexible and agile: chasing hot spots and engaging in altcoins; I define this part as 'high-risk entertainment funds.' Losing all of it won't affect the overall situation.
During that crash last March, my BTC core holdings weathered the storm, while the AI sector even rose against the trend by 50%. Diversifying positions is not about maximizing profits; it's about staying at the table during extreme market conditions.
02 Stop-loss is the brake of your account.
You wouldn't drive a car without pressing the brake, so why do you always want to stubbornly hold in trading?
I set strict rules for myself: any coin that drops more than 12% must be sold without question. This isn't a cold number but a lesson learned with real money.
A friend of mine once stubbornly held onto a 'star' project, from 80,000 down to 9,000. On the day he finally cut losses, he said it wasn't the money lost that hurt, but the regret of not setting rules for himself. The first lesson in trading is not learning how to make money but learning how to control losses. What you lose is not just money but also your future opportunities and time.
03 The other side of market frenzy is risk.
When the convenience store owner downstairs starts asking you which coins can make money, you know what that means.
At the end of 2021, Dogecoin became so popular that it reached outside the circle, and the RSI indicator was overbought for several consecutive days. I felt that kind of frenzy and cleared 70% of my position as soon as I got home that day. Many people laughed at me for being timid, but not long after the crash, they understood.
The true buying point always emerges when the market is quiet and everyone is fearful. The selling point lurks within the frenzy of friends showing off their profits.
04 The three technical signals I often use are simple but effective.
I don't use complex indicators; three tools are enough for me to understand this market:
Volume cannot be deceived. An increase must have volume, at least 50% more than the previous day. An increase without volume is just trickery; for example, when LTC broke 80 last week, the trading volume doubled, and it surged over 40% in just five days.
Bollinger Bands convergence is a key signal. When the Bollinger Bands converge, especially when the price touches the lower band, it's a good time for me to test positions; when the price breaks above the upper band and the Bollinger Bands open, I will start to take profits in batches. The 80% swing in DOGE earlier this year was caught this way.
The golden cross above the MACD zero line is the most powerful. Last month's UNI market rally was due to the daily MACD forming a golden cross above the zero line. I decisively followed in and achieved a 35% profit in 10 days.
Technology is not a crystal ball predicting the future; it's a tool to improve your winning rate. The key is strict execution without emotional interference.
05 My current moment, and your opportunity.
Last night I reviewed until dawn and filtered out two coins with increased volume + Bollinger Bands converging + MACD golden cross, three signals overlapping. This pattern belongs to high win-rate opportunities in my system; last year I made a profit of 2 million on DOT.
In this market, you don't make money from the market's movements; you make money from understanding and execution. You can never rely on luck to get to the end, but you can rely on a workable system and ironclad discipline to wait for your time to come.
Account balances don't lie; the SMS notifications from your bank are the final answer. I only trade real accounts and share real results. The road is long; let's walk steadily together.
