I’ve been grinding in this space for seven years. I started with just 30,000, and now my account has surpassed 50 million. What’s kept me alive until today is the “Half Position Rule”—it sounds conservative, but I average 70% returns per month. I once taught a student who doubled their capital in three months using this approach. Today, I want to share the strategies I’ve summarized over the years—those who get it, get it.



First, let’s talk about position management. Split your capital into five parts, and only use one-fifth for any single trade. Set a 10% stop-loss for each position. That way, even if you get five trades in a row wrong, you’ll only lose 10%. But if you catch the right trend just once, taking profit above 10% is easy, so you don’t have to worry about getting stuck in a bad trade.

Following the trend is always more reliable than trying to pick the bottom. A rebound in a downtrend? Most of the time, that’s just a bull trap. A pullback in an uptrend? That’s the real opportunity to get in. If you want to make quick money, it’s simple: follow the trend—don’t always bet on a reversal.

Stay far away from coins that have surged in the short term. Whether it’s a major coin or a small cap, sustained consecutive rallies are actually rare. After a price skyrockets in the short term, it gets much harder for it to keep climbing. If you see heavy volume at highs but the price isn’t moving, that’s basically a sign it can’t go any higher—most likely a pullback is coming. Everyone knows this, but there’s always someone who can’t resist taking a gamble.

MACD is my most commonly used entry and exit indicator. When DIF and DEA form a golden cross below the zero axis and then break above it, that’s a relatively reliable entry point. If MACD forms a death cross above the zero axis and turns downward, it’s time to reduce your position—don’t hesitate.

Never average down on losing positions! This move has trapped countless retail investors: you lose, then add more, then keep losing, and end up in deeper trouble. The correct approach is to only add to winning positions—never try to rescue a losing one.

You must keep an eye on trading volume. If there’s a breakout with heavy volume after a low-level consolidation, it’s worth watching. If there’s heavy volume at highs but the price is stagnant, get out quickly. The relationship between volume and price is the real key.

Only trade assets in an uptrend. If the 3-day moving average turns up, it means there’s short-term potential. If the 30-day is trending up, that means the medium-term is getting strong. If the 84-day is moving up, it’s entering a major rally phase. If the 120-day moving average is up, that’s a long-term bull market. Time is money—choosing the right trend can save you a lot of effort.

You have to review your trades every day. Check whether your previous logic still holds, whether the weekly trend matches your judgment, and whether there are any reversal signals. Adjust your strategy at any time based on the market.

Only by using systematic thinking and repeatable trading methods can you cut through market emotions and noise and go further, more steadily.

It sounds like a story, but the key is whether you can survive the next bear market.

After all that reading, it just boils down to using one-fifth position sizing with a stop-loss. Doesn’t sound like anything new. Losing five times in a row and only losing 10%? This logic just doesn’t hold up when the market crashes. Average monthly return of 70%? Come on, if someone could consistently make that much, they’d have retired long ago. Turning 30,000 into 50 million? That account growth curve is a bit ridiculous. Don’t be fooled by stories—it’s not that simple in actual trading. No matter how good it sounds, it’s all hindsight analysis; the price action is what’s real. Buy when the MACD golden cross appears, sell on the death cross—who hasn’t tried that? The key is not to get tricked. I’ve fallen into the trap of averaging down on losses too. Definitely a hard-learned lesson. Chase when the moving average turns upward? That just leaves more people stuck at the top. Even replaying a hundred times won’t save you from a single extreme drawdown.

50 million is indeed an impressive achievement, but I’ve heard this theory too many times. To be honest, it’s easy to fall into the trap of trying to make up for losses, but a 70% monthly return with a 50% position size seems a bit far-fetched. Using the MACD death cross to adjust position size is alright, but when prices are really high, everyone wants to take a gamble—it’s easier said than done. I agree with reviewing trades every day, but not many people can actually stick with it. Growing from 30,000 to 50 million in 7 years, you’re either chosen by fate or there’s a story I don’t know about.

Five positions sound good, but a 70% monthly return seems a bit unrealistic. What you said about covering losses is true; so many people get stuck in that situation. Exiting when the MACD death cross appears—I agree, but in practice it’s easy to get confused. It’s true you need to avoid coins that have skyrocketed; buying at the top is a painful lesson. Reviewing trades is important, but sometimes the market changes even faster than you can review. It’s hard to find coins with an upward trend, and the worst is finding a false breakout. A mismatch between volume and price is definitely a signal—will pay more attention to that next time.
