In my early years, I started with 50k in capital, gradually growing to 302k in the first two years, stabilizing at 590k in the third year, and by the fourth year, I was completely floating — in August, my account reached 3.78 million, and by November, it directly surpassed 7 million.

Back then, I was impulsive, quit my stable job, borrowed money to leverage, and always thought "luck will keep favoring me." As a result, when the financial crisis hit, I not only lost all my profits but also took on debt, eventually having to sell my house to pay it off, and my family almost fell apart.
It was only during the lows that I woke up: all the money I made before was just luck, not skill.
After that, I didn’t make reckless trades for three years, spent days and nights reviewing and summarizing, and finally turned things around with a practical trading logic.
These 6 core principles can avoid 80% of the pitfalls:
1. Don’t be a “coin collector.” I used to hold a dozen niche coins, most of which went to zero. Later, I learned that just 3 core strategies are enough: hold BTC long-term to avoid missing out, trade ETH with moderate volatility for swings, and pick one strong sector leader (like AI, RWA). It’s much more reliable than random buying.
2. Stop when your emotions take over. Once, during a surge of liquidations across the internet, I didn’t stop, losing 200k in a day. Now I set strict rules: if liquidation numbers spike, or three big green candles hit the hot search, or amateurs follow the trend and buy, I stop and cool down for two hours — saving myself a lot of losses.
3. Position size is a life line. In the early days, I went all-in, and during a crash, I had no funds left to add. Now I have fixed positions: 50% USDT for emergencies, 30% quality coins for long-term holdings, and 20% for short-term quick trades. Keeping capital intact gives me a chance to turn things around.
4. Take profits and cut losses without illusions. I used to add when prices dropped 10%, only to get stuck in despair. Now I follow strict rules: take half profits at a 10% rise, sell completely at 20% to switch to stable assets; wait for a 5% dip to re-enter if the logic is solid, and cut at 10% loss to reflect — never hold through losses.
5. Master the basics within a week. When I first entered the market, I bought blindly and lost badly. Later, I summarized three steps: look at daily candles + MA10/MA30 for support and resistance, volume increase without price rise is a fake breakout, don’t chase after late-day surges in sectors, and within a week, you understand the market.
6. Build positions like fighting a battle — in batches. I used to go all-in with 3,000 yuan, panicking at every dip. Now I start with 900 yuan as a base, add 900 on support dips, add 600 on resistance breakthroughs, and keep 600 ready for sudden drops — focus on rhythm, not speed.
