Avoid Detours in Crypto Trading: My Practical Strategies, From Market Timing to Position Management—A Complete Breakdown

After years of grinding in the crypto space, I’ve come to realize that the core of trading isn’t about “frequent operations,” but rather “riding the trend + prioritizing risk control.” During recent livestreams, many fans asked how I time the market, manage positions, and uncover potential coins. Today, I’ve organized the core logic I’ve summarized from personal experience—from market understanding to operational details—and I’m sharing it all here. I hope this helps you avoid pitfalls and make more money in a volatile market.

1. The Essence of Market Moves: Profits Come from Riding Waves, Patience Brings Opportunities

There’s no such thing as a market that “only goes up” or “only goes down.” All profits essentially come from “winning the swings.” The market is always about waves of opportunities. Just as a sniper doesn’t fire blindly but waits for the perfect shot, traders should do the same—avoid impulsively chasing highs or selling in panic, and patiently wait for your trend signal.

Many people lose money not because they picked the wrong coin, but because they forced trades in uncertain markets or refused to exit during trend reversals. Remember: opportunities to make money are always there, but your capital is only there once. Learning to “wait” is the first step to trading success.

2. Contract Trading: Apply Spot Logic for Steady Moves

When it comes to contracts, many think of “high leverage, high risk,” but the real key to long-term contract trading profits is “making decisions with a spot mindset.”

Spot logic means never ignoring the fundamental aspects of a token and the market trend—don’t just rely on leverage to gamble on direction. The essence of contracts is “amplifying returns,” not “creating returns.” Only when you have high conviction in a coin’s trend (such as a clear unilateral market) should you use contract tools to enhance capital efficiency. That’s reasonable operation.

One key point: always set a stop-loss for contracts! Crypto is highly volatile—even blue-chip coins can experience sudden wicks. Stop-losses are your last line of defense to protect your capital. Never fall for the hope that “it’ll bounce back if I hold on.”

3. Position Management: Comfort Comes First, Never Go All-In

Position management is the “lifeline” of trading. My core principle is four words: comfort is king—your position size must let you sleep well at night, not let market swings affect your emotions. Here are my practical standards:

1. Prioritize core assets: Focus on major coins (BTC, ETH), as these have strong liquidity, relatively controllable volatility, and higher certainty;
2. Position size matches conviction: Only increase your position when you have a clear, high-conviction signal;
3. Specific position standards: Maximum exposure should not exceed 20x your principal’s value, normal operations at 10x, minimum base at 5x—absolutely no all-in bets.

Remember: survival is more important than getting rich fast in crypto. Proper position management lets you keep a comeback chance during pullbacks and steadily magnify gains when trends continue.

4. Stop-Loss Tips: Simple, Direct, and Immediately Effective

You don’t need complicated formulas for stop-losses. Master these two core methods and you’ll handle most market situations:

- In a unilateral uptrend: set your stop-loss at the previous candle’s low. If price falls below this, the short-term trend may be reversing—exit decisively to lock in profits;
- In a unilateral downtrend: set your stop-loss at the previous candle’s high. If price breaks above, the downtrend may be ending—stop out promptly to avoid bigger losses.

The advantage of this method is “simplicity and practicality.” No complex technical analysis needed—perfect for real-time judgment during livestreams and easy for beginners to pick up.

5. Finding Hot Coins: 3 Key Traits + 1 Filtering Technique

Beyond blue chips, hot coins can often deliver outsized returns—but with higher risk. Here’s my screening logic and entry standards to help you capture potential plays:

Screening method:

Use the gainers list to identify coins with “high trading volume + strong recognition”—volume signals capital inflow, and recognition means strong market consensus, so you avoid “volume-less fake pumps.”

Three entry traits:

1. Clear trend: Only enter clear uptrends, never try to catch bottoms during sideways or downtrending moves;
2. Price and volume rise together: Price rising alongside increasing volume (ideally both double), signaling strong capital inflows and more sustainable trends;
3. Entry on small timeframes: Don’t chase entries at major cycle highs; use smaller timeframes (like 1-hour or 4-hour) to find retracement entries and ride the trend.

Final Thoughts:

There’s no “holy grail” in crypto trading—every profit is the result of knowledge, patience, and risk control. The strategies above are core principles I’ve repeatedly verified through practice and livestreams. They may seem simple, but they’ll help you avoid most rookie traps.
