#美SEC促进加密资产创新监管框架 To be honest, a lot of people watch my trades now and think I'm someone who's just naturally good at trading.



But I have to tell you: a few years ago, I was also that unlucky guy who chased pumps, reacted to every piece of news, and blew up my account three times a night.

What really turned things around for me wasn't some advanced technique, but just four simple words—stick to it till the end.

With this "dumb and slow" approach, I ground my capital from 5,000 all the way up to 8 million. How did I do it?

**First, resist the urge—less trading is better**

Others wish they could open ten trades a day; now, I touch at most two trades a day. Why? Because trading isn’t a video game—the more often you act, the more likely you are to be driven by emotion.

Being able to hold back and not trade is a skill in itself.

**Second, stick to mainstream coins—ignore the hype coins no matter how tempting**

I never chase those shitcoins that double in a day. I just focus on BTC, ETH—assets with good liquidity and stable markets.

Gains are slow? So what. At least I won’t wake up to zero. Surviving longer is a hundred times more important than getting rich quick.

**Third, execute like a machine—stick to your plan once it's set**

Entry price, stop loss, take profit—write everything down before opening a position. Exit when it hits the price, wait if it doesn’t.

Changing your mind on the spot? That’s a surefire way to lose money.

**Fourth, never go all-in—always leave yourself a way out**

My heaviest position is only 30%, usually I keep it at 10-20%. Why am I still here? It’s all thanks to this rule.

Going all-in feels great for a moment, but liquidation brings double the tears.

**Fifth, set stop loss and take profit orders in advance—emotions are account killers**

Once I place an order, I never change it. The moment you start thinking "let’s wait a bit longer"

Damn, this is exactly what I've been saying all along—restraint is the key!

Same old story, heard it so many times... But honestly, people who aren't fully invested do survive longer, I have to admit that.

Well said, that's exactly it. I also went from going all-in to now holding only 30% of my position, having suffered too many losses from going back to previously sold assets. Now, my biggest fear is making impulsive trades.

What you said is quite down-to-earth, but the problem I see is—this methodology essentially boils down to "low-frequency + mainstream + discipline." It sounds flawless, but the real pitfall lies in the execution cost. You see, sustainable growth always tests human nature more than short-term windfalls. Going from 5k to 8 million is indeed impressive, but you have to ask yourself: how many people can maintain restraint throughout that process? That’s not a technical issue; it’s a psychological one. The key is in take-profit and stop-loss—I don’t think they should be absolute. Blindly setting orders sometimes means missing out on changes in the liquidity environment. The market has its rhythm and cycles; rigid execution might actually disrupt the incentive balance. Still, this approach is definitely much more rational than those all-in gamblers.
