Who understands, family! In the cryptocurrency market, how many people hold a thousand or eight hundred stablecoins thinking they can double it in one go? As a result? They lost everything in half a month and when they cleared their positions, they didn't even earn back the transaction fees; they were just working for the exchanges!
But a pure little newbie I brought last year understood nothing and just followed my logic, starting with 1200 stablecoins, reaching 25,000 in two months, and now consistently staying above 38,000. The key is that there was not a single liquidation throughout the process!
This is really not luck; it's the 'stable profit framework' I painstakingly developed after losing from 8000 stablecoins down to just a few cents. Today, I’m sharing my hard-earned insights with you, rejecting the gambler's mindset. We are the ones who 'survive and make money' in the market!
1. Three-layer position rule: Lock the risk at the source.
Small capital is most afraid of 'putting all eggs in one basket'. I always let my students use the 'three-layer position method'. Money must be used separately, it must not be mixed together:
First layer (33% position, 400 stablecoins): Short-term fast entry and exit warehouse. Focus only on one opportunity each day, when the next order comes, if you make 5%, leave immediately! Don't be greedy; the market can turn its face faster than flipping a book. Taking profit is not cowardice, it's not confronting risk head-on. Think about it, the transaction fees from frequent operations + error rate are much higher than you think; one order a day is enough.
Second layer (33% position, 400 stablecoins): Trend capture warehouse. This part of the money does not focus on small fluctuations, just wait for the 'big fish'. The market is mostly in a sideways sleep, at this time, taking action is like giving away money. We need to be like old hunters, only catching clear trend opportunities above 10%, if there are no opportunities, just lay flat, and when we take action, we must take it steadily.
Third layer (33% position, 400 stablecoins): Safety cushion warehouse. This part is your 'lifesaving money', it must not be touched! Even if the first two trades occasionally lose money, this money can give you capital to turn things around. In the cryptocurrency market, surviving is always more important than 'making quick money'. As long as the green mountains remain, we don't fear the lack of firewood.
2. Lying flat and waiting: Don't mess around during the consolidation period.
I have seen too many retail investors who feel uncomfortable if they don't open a position for a day. Even if the market is so sideways that it makes people sleepy, they still force themselves to trade. But do you know? The cryptocurrency market spends 80% of its time 'spinning in place'. Opening positions every day is not making money; it's paying the exchange an 'IQ tax'.
My rule is: if the market is sideways for more than 3 days, close the software directly! Go binge-watch a show, pet a cat, or even take a walk downstairs, it's better than staring at K-line charts and pondering aimlessly. What are we waiting for? Wait for the market to break through the consolidation box and stabilize above key moving averages (like MA30), then the trend will be completely clear before entering the market. At this time, entering the market is like hitchhiking, and the probability of profit doubles directly.
There is also a small tip: as long as the single profit exceeds 20%, immediately pocket 30%! Transfer this part of the money to your wallet and keep it safe; let the rest follow the trend. Don't think 'selling early is a loss'; I have seen too many people who made 50% but still wanted to make 100%, ending up with losses and locking in profits is the real solid.
3. Three iron rules: Use discipline to defeat emotion.
In the cryptocurrency market, the core of making money is not how accurately you judge, but how well you execute. These three rules must be memorized by my students: whoever breaks them will lose:
Hard stop loss at 2%: No matter how reluctant you are, as long as the loss reaches 2%, immediately stop loss and leave the market! Don't fall in love with the market, nor hold on to the fantasy of 'just wait a bit for a rebound'. The stop loss is your 'life-saving charm', keeping losses within a small range.
Take profit at 4% first: As long as you make a profit of 4%, sell half of your position first! Put half of the profit in your pocket, and use the rest to pursue higher returns. Even if the market reverses later, you have already made money and won't end up with nothing.
Never average down on losses: This is the most important rule! Many people think about 'averaging down to reduce costs' when they lose money, but the more they average down, the more trapped they become, ultimately leading to liquidation. Remember, averaging down during losses is not a rescue, it's adding to losses, purely self-destructive.
In fact, small capital is not scary; what is scary is the 'impatient and greedy' gambler mentality. My beginners have rolled from 1200 stablecoins to 38,000, relying not on guessing the market but on 'controlling risk, waiting for opportunities, and maintaining discipline'. The cryptocurrency market is not short of myths of overnight wealth, but it is even less short of tragedies of going to zero overnight. What we ordinary people want is not 'double in one shot', but 'steady happiness'.
Follow Mr. Ke, and jump out of the 'gambler's trap' to become a 'steady winner' in the cryptocurrency market!
