If you've been in this market for half a year and are still losing money, don't blame the market conditions first. In most cases, the problem isn't with the market itself, but with your methods and understanding that still can't handle real trading.

I've been in the crypto space for 8 years, experienced margin calls, and also turned things around. Accumulating over 30 million in accounts isn't due to some divine operation, but because I survived time and again. What follows are not tricks, but survival logic—by doing this halfway, you've already outperformed most retail investors.

Don't fully allocate your capital if your funds are limited. For accounts under 20,000, capturing one decent market move in a year is enough. When there's no trend, stay out of the market; this is also part of the strategy. If your understanding isn't sufficient, real trading is just paying tuition. First, test your logic with a demo account; real trading offers no second chances.

When good news is released, the risk often has already caught up. Don't be greedy for the day's gains; if there's a high open the next day, take profits accordingly. Don't wait for the entire market to unanimously turn bullish. Before holidays, keep your position light; holidays are not benefits but landmines.

Mid- to long-term trading is about cash management. Keep your bullets rolling; dreaming of one wave eating everything is just a fantasy. Focus on high-volume coins for short-term trades; no volatility is just grinding and leads to slow losses. The manner of decline is more important than the magnitude—downward declines are hard to operate, but sharp drops can present opportunities. If you buy wrong, just exit; stop-loss isn't admitting defeat, it's survival.

Don't obsess over small cycles. Using simple indicators on 15-minute charts is much clearer than staring at 1-minute charts. You don't need many methods; what's key is consistent execution. Repeatedly testing one model beats changing systems every day a hundred times over.

The core of making money in crypto has never been about how smart you are, but whether you can avoid fatal mistakes. If you're still losing and messing around, it's not that there's no opportunity—it's that you haven't learned how to survive yet.
