Seven years, from a capital of 50,000 to over 50 million, how was it achieved? Honestly, it’s all about a stable trading system and strict risk management. This seasoned trader recently summarized his methodology, and his apprentice doubled their capital in just three months. Today, I want to share with you the underlying logic of these trading principles.



**First: Position Size is the Key to Life and Death**
Divide your funds into five parts, and only trade one part at a time. What’s the cleverness of this design? It’s simple—one mistake only loses 2% of total capital; five mistakes, and you lose 10%. Coupled with a 10-point stop-loss and a 10-point take-profit, under this ratio, do you think it’s easy to get trapped?

**Second: Going with the Trend is the Winner**
A decline followed by a rebound is often a trap, and an upward correction is a golden opportunity. These words sound cliché, but few can truly execute them. The question is—Is it easier to make money by bottom-fishing or by low-buying? The answer is obvious.

**Third: Stay Away from Coins with Explosive Rises**
Coins that surge rapidly in the short term, whether mainstream or altcoins, are unlikely to continue rising. The reason is simple: after a rapid surge, the momentum often falters. Once a high-level stagnation forms, a decline becomes inevitable. But some still want to gamble—this is the difference between retail investors and professional traders.

**Fourth: MACD Signals**
A golden cross of DIF and DEA below the zero line and breaking through zero? That’s a fairly reliable entry signal. Conversely, if MACD forms a death cross above the zero line and moves downward, it’s time to consider reducing positions.

**Fifth: The Most Forbidden Operation**
The word “averaging down” has harmed many. Losing more and then adding more, only to lose even more, pushing oneself into a dead end. Remember this—always add to winning positions, never add to losing ones.

**Sixth: Volume is the Soul**
In crypto markets, volume is often a leading indicator. A breakout with increased volume at a consolidation low is a key signal; a volume surge at a high level with stagnation suggests it’s time to exit decisively.

**Seventh: Trend Grading Operation**
Only trade coins in an uptrend for the highest win rate. A 3-day moving average turning upward indicates a short-term opportunity; a 30-day moving average turning upward signals a medium-term setup; an 84-day moving average turning upward is a main upward wave; and a 120-day moving average turning upward indicates a large-scale trend. Combining signals across different cycles greatly improves success rates.

**Eighth: Review is Fundamental**
Every trade must be reviewed. Has the logic for holding the coin changed? Does the weekly K-line still support your judgment? Has the trend shifted? Adjusting in time allows you to maintain an advantage in a changing market.

The core of this methodology boils down to six words: Control risk, follow the trend. It sounds simple, but executing it requires discipline and patience.

Adding to your position is really a killer for retail investors... I've seen too many people keep adding and losing more, eventually going all-in, and by the time they wake up, it's already too late.

Adding to your position is just a trap; so many people go all-in in one shot and end up losing everything.

That's right, the strategy of adding to your position is really brilliant. If you don't hold back once, you'll lose everything.

Basically, it's about not being greedy and following discipline. None of these eight rules are new, but the key is how many people can truly stick to and implement them.
