ETH is performing well today, so I’d like to take this opportunity to share some of the lessons and strategies I’ve learned from years of grinding in the crypto space. 🔥



Starting with an initial BTC investment of 30,000, my account balance has now surpassed 50 million. Honestly, luck played a minor role over these seven years; it was mostly due to a set of market-tested strategies. My monthly return rate has been consistently above 70%! Let me break down this approach for you—avoid as many pitfalls as you can. 👇

**Capital management is absolutely critical.**
Divide your principal into five equal parts, and only use one part each time you open a position, with a hard stop loss set at 10%. Even if you make five consecutive wrong calls, you only lose 10% overall. But if you get the direction right even once, and set your take profit above 10%, the risk-reward ratio becomes very comfortable, and you won’t get trapped.

**The second pitfall is always trying to catch the bottom.**
Most so-called “bottoms” in the market will continue to drop. Every pullback during an uptrend is the real opportunity—not for you to guess where the bottom is, but to wait for the pullback to stabilize before buying the dip. Remember, the success rate of buying the dip is much higher than trying to catch the bottom!

**Next is chasing the hype.**
Many coins skyrocket several times over in a short period, which can be tempting. But think calmly—such explosive moves rarely have more than a couple of strong upswings. More often, there’s a pump and then a dump, and those who chase end up getting stuck. So don’t be impulsive; patiently wait for sustainable opportunities.

**When it comes to technical indicators, MACD is truly useful.**
When the DIF and DEA lines form a golden cross below the zero line, it’s usually a safe entry point. If these two lines form a death cross above the zero line and start diverging downward, it’s time to consider reducing your position. Mastering this logic will keep your entry and exit timing in check.

**On adding to positions—never add to a losing one!**
This is the easiest way to get yourself stuck. The correct approach is to add to your position only when you’re already in profit, using your gains to compound, not new money to average down your losses. Reverse your thinking on this.

**Trading volume is also an important signal.**
A breakout with high volume at a low price often means capital is flowing in and there’s room to rise further. High volume with stagnant prices at high levels means big players are cashing out—if you don’t get out then, you’ll get stuck. The logic of price-volume coordination must be ingrained in your mind.

**One last thing: only trade coins with a clear trend.**
Those that are range-bound with unclear direction not only waste your time but also make you prone to losses. Check the 3-day, 30-day, 84-day, and 120-day moving averages—if they’re all turning upward, it means a bull trend has formed, and that’s when following the trend gives you the best odds.

Stick to this strategy. Don’t expect to get rich overnight, and don’t blindly go all-in. Approach trading with a systematic mindset and most people will be able to outperform the market average. 💪

I wish you all find your own rhythm in this market and make steady profits!

Sounds good, but I really can't trust that 50 million part. --- I actually agree with the MACD part, but the rest... easier said than done. --- Capital management is indeed important, but it's still easy to get impulsive during execution. --- Catching the bottom really is a curse. I've fallen for it countless times. --- The part about averaging down really hit home. It's when you're losing that your hands shake the most. --- 70% monthly return... that's a bit too idealistic, isn't it? --- Buying the dip is definitely better than trying to catch the bottom. I agree with this one. --- The trend part is the hardest to grasp. The moving averages seem to give signals, but they're always lagging.

Looks like another story of making 70% a month, I kind of believe it... But that MACD method is actually pretty reliable. --- From 30,000 to 50 million, just listen to that number, the key is how many people can really stick to not chasing highs. --- I've tripped up over the logic of averaging down many times, it's really hard to break the habit when in a loss. --- The distinction between buying the dip and bottom fishing is so crucial, so many people die waiting foolishly for the bottom. --- Volume and price coordination... easy to say, but during live trading, every signal is everywhere, and you end up trapped. --- Moving average combinations look simple, but when they actually turn upward, very few can get in on time. --- Only increasing positions when profitable, perfect in theory, but when emotions hit during execution, you forget everything. --- Not sure if this strategy is stable, but at least it’s way better than blindly chasing hot spots and all-in. --- 70% a month... why not go to the moon, but the part about capital management is spot on.

70% monthly return? Dude, that number sounds a bit far-fetched. --- I agree with the capital management part, but the reversed thinking on averaging down is really spot on. --- I've fallen into the bottom-fishing trap before. Now I'm just waiting for a stabilized pullback—learned that lesson the hard way. --- Honestly, this approach is exactly what retail investors should be doing. No secret tricks, just discipline. --- I'll remember the MACD death cross part. I got trapped before because I didn't see it clearly. --- 70% in a month? Maybe we should chat privately about your strategy. --- Buying the dip vs. catching the bottom—I couldn't tell the difference before, but now I get it. --- When there's heavy volume at the top but prices stall, I bail immediately. That signal has saved me several times. --- "Don't expect to get rich overnight" should be tattooed on every trader's forehead. --- The interplay between volume and price really is key. Most people are just trading blindly.

Another guy claiming to make 70% in a month, but how come I've never seen him on the contract liquidation leaderboard? --- Sounds right, but would you actually dare to trade like that in real trading? The real key is whether you can actually stop or not. --- The point about money management is spot on, but this textbook approach of opening five positions—does the market really give you five tries? --- I agree that buying the dip is better than trying to catch the bottom, but it's so hard to get past the psychological hurdle—I always want to try catching one more bottom. --- I've heard about MACD golden crosses for years, but why is it always a trap? Technical indicators should only be used as a reference. --- It's true that you should only add to winning positions, but who can actually catch that many winning trades? Easier said than done. --- Is that fifty million for real? Dare to show your wallet address? In this space, nine out of ten people talking those numbers are just bragging. --- I trust the moving average turning upward, but how do you know when it's a real turn and not a false breakout? You only figure it out after getting stopped out a few times. --- Systematic thinking makes sense, but this stuff doesn't work at all in a bear market—once the trend reverses, it all falls apart.
