#ETH走势分析 A lot of people ask me how I’ve managed to survive in the crypto market—in all honesty, it’s not because of some secret technique; it’s simply because I made myself more “cautious.”



Now I can make around 800,000 a year, a number I wouldn’t have even dared to imagine before. Back then, my account balance would drop so low it made me anxious just to look at it. The first thing I did when I woke up in the middle of the night was grab my phone to check the market, terrified I’d miss some huge pump or crash.

The turning point was after I got liquidated twice in a row.

How did I operate before? If I saw some altcoin pump 20%, I’d rush in and go all-in. If it dropped 10%, I’d panic sell to cut my losses. I got shaken out like this several times. The worst was when I chased a hot project and lost three months’ worth of savings in a single night—it honestly made me feel sick.

Later, I forced myself to make a few changes:

**First, I cut my position size down to 15%.** No matter what opportunity I saw, I’d use no more than 15% of my principal in a single trade. Friends laughed, saying, “How much can you really make with that?” I shot back, “How many times have you made money going all-in?” They fell silent. The good thing about small positions is even if you’re wrong, your mindset stays intact, and you can wait for the next opportunity.

**Second, I stopped chasing pumps.** If a coin had already pumped 30% or 50%, I’d just ignore it. Instead, I’d review why it pumped, study the distribution of positions, and see if there was any logic to support further growth. Most of the time, after my review, I wouldn’t want to enter anymore—I’ve been trapped by chasing tops too many times. Now, I’d rather miss out than force myself in.

**Third, I set hard limits for myself.** Before every trade, I’d set my take-profit and stop-loss points and stick to them with zero hesitation. This might seem clumsy, but it’s helped me avoid several major drawdowns.

Using these “simple methods,” after just under 8 trades, my account started to move steadily upward. My profit curve was no longer a rollercoaster; instead, it slowly climbed toward the upper right.

Looking back now, what really eats you alive isn’t market volatility—it’s your own greed and impatience. The market always has opportunities, but you only have one principal. Those who shout about “going all-in to get rich” have either already reached financial freedom, or they’ve disappeared from the market.

If you’ve experienced liquidation, or if you’re feeling lost and don’t know how to adjust, remember this: you don’t need to be smarter than everyone else, just more stable than you were yesterday.

What to do next is up to you. Keep gambling on gut feelings, or try this approach that seems slow but actually gives you a better chance to survive. The outcomes start to diverge from the moment you make that decision.

The 15% position trick is genius. I used to go all in and got taught a lesson over and over. Earning 800,000 annualized sounds easy, but who knows how many pitfalls were stepped on behind the scenes. This is the real secret to surviving. Absolutely right, there's only so much principal. Those who went all in didn't survive to talk about it now. I also learned the hard way by getting liquidated. Mindset is worth much more than skills. The stop-profit and stop-loss approach may seem clumsy, but as long as you stick to it, you basically avoid disasters. It's way more reliable than when I used to trade on gut feeling. 800,000 a year isn't a small number, and the key is you're still alive. That's more important than how much you make. Are there still people going all in and chasing the top? They must be tired of living, haha. This is what you call steady growth, unlike the feeling of crashing overnight like I did back then. A light position can really save your life. I'm at 15% now too, and with a steady mindset, my trades are on the right track.

This is what's real. Where have all the people who went all-in with full positions gone now?

Really, I'm also using the 15% position strategy. Compared to going all-in before, life is much more comfortable now.
