#美联储重启降息步伐 To be honest, those first few years after entering the space were really tough. Getting jolted awake by market fluctuations in the middle of the night became the norm—one vibration from my phone and my heart would be in my throat. During that time, I often doubted whether I was even cut out for crypto trading.

The turning point came after I suffered several major losses in a row. I started to seriously reflect: maybe it wasn’t that I wasn’t smart enough, but that my approach was flawed. Looking back now, those seemingly “dumb” trading disciplines actually became the cornerstone of consistent profits.

When it comes to position management, I have a strict rule:

Suppose there’s 100,000 in the account; I only use 10,000 per trade to test the market, and my total position never exceeds 20%. Many people think this is too conservative and that the gains are too slow, but this “slow” is precisely the prerequisite for survival.

I also set stop-loss and take-profit points in advance: if I lose 3%, I admit defeat and exit; if I gain 5%, I immediately lock in profits. After mechanically executing this set of rules, I found I no longer made mistakes due to emotional decisions.

I’ve seen too many people lose because of their mindset—adding to their position after a drop to try to average down, or not knowing when to cash out after a gain, always thinking “maybe it’ll go up even more if I wait a little longer.” I used to be like that too, so I totally understand the struggle. But the market won’t change direction just because you wait.

Here’s a pretty classic comparison case:

Two friends started at the same time, both with 100,000 as their principal:

One went all-in and even used leverage; when the price dropped, he panicked and kept adding to his position, which only made the hole deeper. In the end, he got liquidated and wiped out.

The other only used 20,000 as a base position, strictly executed take-profit and stop-loss, and only took two or three high-certainty trades a week. After 30 days, he made a steady 8%, and over a year, compounding his returns, the gains were considerable.

The difference wasn’t about who could read the charts better, but about who could stick to the rules, control the pace, and manage their mindset.

Now, I don’t chase get-rich-quick myths anymore—I just focus on how to consistently and steadily cash out actual profits. I’ve seen too many people gamble with their living expenses; that’s not investing or trading, that’s gambling with your survival bottom line.

In the crypto market, those who can survive long-term are usually the last winners. Patience and discipline matter more than any technical indicator.
