In the cryptocurrency world for eight years, I can be considered an old hand.

In the deep winter of 2016, at three in the morning, my phone's notification shook me awake.

—— Bitcoin plummeted from 8,000 yuan to 5,550 yuan.

At that time, I only had 32,000 yuan left in my bank account, and I hadn't even gathered enough for the 1,800 yuan rent. My childhood friend, Old Zhou, called me to say I should buy the dip.

I was staring at a screen full of red and green candlestick charts, confused: “This thing looks like an ECG; I can't even understand MA5!”

He sighed on the phone: “Don’t think you can get rich overnight; you have to survive first to enjoy the profits.”

This statement was like a match, waking me up from my panic-driven rush to invest my capital. I gritted my teeth and invested 20,000 yuan, plunging into the waves of the cryptocurrency world.

Now Bitcoin is stable around 93,000 dollars, but I often think back to the days when I lost sleep worrying about my losses.

There has never been an epiphany in the cryptocurrency world; all lessons are earned through real money.

After stepping in countless pits, I’ve figured out a rule: if there’s a sharp drop followed by a slow rebound, it's mostly a ploy by the big players;

If there’s a slow decline followed by a sudden surge, that usually hides the real opportunities.

In November 2020, UNI dropped from 8 dollars to 2.5 dollars, and the community was full of complaints about the project team running away.

I remembered Old Zhou's words and set a strict rule of “buying in every time it drops by 20%,” and over three months, I bought in three times, pushing my cost down to 3.1 dollars.

In May of the following year, it surged to 40 dollars. I was so nervous watching the screen that my hands trembled, but I decisively sold off my holdings, making a 12-fold profit on that single transaction.

Now I fear two types of market conditions: too much excitement and too much silence.

In 2021, when Dogecoin hit the fifth place on trending searches, I found that the on-chain trading volume had dropped 30% for a whole week. That day, I cleared my holdings, and sure enough, it halved three days later;

In 2018, when BTC was stagnant at 3,200 dollars for two weeks, with the trading volume falling to one-tenth of its peak, I consistently invested 100 U every day without fail. Six months later, my cost was down to 3,800 dollars, perfectly catching the subsequent main wave of rising prices.

Old Zhou left the market to open a supermarket in 2019, saying before he left, “The crazier the market, the more timid you should be.”

Now, I have a handwritten note on the homepage of my trading software: “Stop if in doubt.”

The cryptocurrency world has never been a casino; even with Bitcoin's wild fluctuations now, I always remember the significance of my initial 20,000 yuan.

—— Keep to the bottom line of your capital, don’t let emotions lead you astray, and you can walk far in this industry. @在带单的阿猫

Not long ago, a cryptocurrency enthusiast asked me with a worried expression: “Now BTC is fluctuating between $86,000 and $89,500, I haven't dared to touch contracts, and altcoins have collectively stalled. Can we still make money in this market?”

I smiled and pulled up my trading records. Over the past 60 days, I turned my $900 spot account into $68,000, without staying up once or touching a single contract, relying entirely on three sets of 'blunt knife' strategies.

The first strategy is to break the warehouse and resist grinding, refusing to go all in.

Currently, the battle between bulls and bears is intense, and going all in just hands chips to the trapped positions.

I divided my funds into three parts: the short-term position closely monitors BTC's intraday fluctuations, operating no more than twice a day, taking profits of 2%-3% to cover the mainstream platform's 0.1% maker fee and meal costs;

The trend position waits for the weekly MA30 to cross above MA60 and breaks through the $89,500 resistance before entering the market, taking half of the profits after a 30% gain, and setting a 10% trailing stop for the remaining;

The backup position is solely to compensate for floating losses, never adding new funds.

The second strategy is to only chase trends and avoid the choppy traps.

In 2024, the choppy market in the cryptocurrency circle accounts for nearly 60%, and many people engage in high-frequency trading, with transaction fees eroding over 30% of their capital and still getting trapped.

I only trade in markets where 'the daily MA30 is above MA60 + the volume meets standards'; during other times, I directly uninstall the app, taking the opportunity to spend time with family, avoiding 80% of the enticing traps.

The third strategy is to strictly adhere to discipline, protecting capital before discussing profits.

I set a strict rule: if a single loss reaches 3%, I immediately stop loss; if floating profits exceed 10%, I adjust the stop loss to the cost price;

I stop trading at 11 PM sharp, and if I stay up late once, I will be banned from trading the next day. Slow operations can outperform most panic buyers and sellers in a choppy market; this is the survival wisdom in the cryptocurrency circle.

Is the cryptocurrency market changing? How to navigate the turbulent market under institutional control $BTC $ETH

As of December 27, the BTC price is around $87,000, with a slight drop of 0.12% over 24 hours. The long-short ratio in the futures market is 0.99, showing a stalemate. The total liquidation amount over 24 hours reached $93.2714 million, with both sides nearly breaking even in losses.

ETH has also weakened, trading around $2,900, with a 24-hour drop of 1.05%. Although the L2 ecosystem accounted for 62% of trading volume, the token performance is sluggish, with Base leading at a 62% share of L2 revenue.

Big data indicates that the market has completed a paradigm shift, with institutional holdings rising to 24% and retail exit rate reaching 66%. BlackRock's IBIT holds 800,000 BTC, surpassing MicroStrategy, with three institutions monopolizing 89% of BTC ETF assets.

The correlation between BTC and the S&P 500 has risen to 0.5, with traditional finance intensifying volatility. The current market fear index is at a low level, indicating strong risk-averse sentiment among funds.

In response, retail investors need to control contract leverage and closely monitor funding rates and on-chain transaction numbers (averaging 390,000 to 400,000 daily); institutions can position themselves in the RWA sector, with Ethereum serving as a deployment vehicle for 64% of RWA, which has long-term allocation value.

Do not chase high prices of altcoins; among mainstream cryptocurrencies, BTC, boosted by ETF funds, is more resilient than ETH and other altcoins.

28 billion options delivery still drawing the line? How to judge the future of the crypto market to be stable!

The 28 billion options delivery has settled,
BTC, however, keeps performing the "drawing the line" market at the 87,000 mark,
with hidden signals in the market.

In the short term, affected by the holiday liquidity drying up,
volatility has been continuously suppressed,
currently, the open interest (OI) of BTC perpetual contracts remains at 56.384 billion,
the options position has sharply decreased by 45.26% to 28.582 billion,
the long-short ratio is almost flat at 0.9904,
and capital game is in a stalemate.

In the medium to long term,
the emotional dam released by the delivery will be vented as liquidity flows back,
the sideways pattern is likely to be broken,
the volatility of mainstream coins will intensify,
and low liquidity altcoins may suffer from capital siphoning.

The trends of coins can be predicted in conjunction with on-chain data:
BTC is showing a slightly strong short-term fluctuation,
the current price is around 87,000,
at the 87,000 mark, the on-chain chip concentration of 11% is in a safe range,
combined with the net increase of 26.35 million BTC by global listed companies last week,
the support level is sufficiently resilient.

ETH also has the potential to rise in tandem,
Bitmine's holdings are approaching 4.1 million,
the market value exceeds 12.5 billion,
institutional accumulation plus ecological fundamentals support,
and independence is highlighted.

SOL presents structural opportunities,
Hong Kong stock MemeStrategy continues to increase its position to 12,290,
earning through exclusive validators staking,
combined with ETHZilla's heavy holdings,
capital attention is rising.

The risk of low market cap altcoins is maximized,
capital flowing back to mainstream causes intensified selling pressure.

Operationally, it is necessary to anchor the market indicators:
For spot trading, 87,000 is the risk control line,
if it falls below, stop-loss and exit,
if it holds, then a light position layout within 30%,
paired with ETH to hedge risks.

Currently, the funding rate on the contract side is neutral and slightly low,
the Binance BTC/USDT rate is only 0.0017%,
it is strictly forbidden to chase orders with high leverage,
reverse operations when the long-short ratio breaks 1.2 or falls below 0.8.

Avoid altcoins without fundamentals,
keep a close eye on BTC's chip concentration,
once it reaches the warning threshold of 13%, immediately reduce positions,
patiently wait for liquidity to return after the holiday to seek breakthrough direction,
the longer the sideways trend lasts, the stronger the market's explosive power.

For eight years in the cryptocurrency world, the pitfalls I've encountered could stack up like a mountain, far more painful than the money I've made.

Back then, with 1 million in hand, I went all-in on spot trading, catching the wave of altcoin rotations, and when luck was on my side, my account soared to 2 million. I once thought I had mastered the market's patterns, that I was a chosen one among crypto investors.

But a sudden market crash, where prices plummeted 50% overnight, brought me crashing back down to reality.

I finally understood: it might take several bull and bear cycles to double your investment, but losing half can happen with just one contract liquidation or a black swan event. The market is never a charitable place; it only speaks of rules, not fairness.

If you start with 1 million, gain 10% then lose 10%, you end up with only 990,000; whether it goes up then down or down then up, the outcome is the same. The core issue is not the magnitude of price changes, but the direction of compound interest.

I once believed in the strategy of "earning 40% in one year, losing 20% the next," but after six years, the annualized return was only 5.83%, which is even less than stable financial management.

In contrast, a friend strictly adhering to a daily 1% profit-taking discipline managed to multiply his capital by 12 times in a year; slow is truly fast.

Everyone dreams of sudden wealth, but there are no eternal myths in the crypto world. The true advancement is accepting that an annualized return of 25.89% is sufficient—10 years to ten million, 20 years to one billion, relying not on passionate all-ins but on a replicable position control system.

I've also fallen victim to supplementary buying; buying more at 5 after initially purchasing at 10 results in an average cost of 6.67. Supplementary buying is not a savior; position control is the true protective charm.

Now I have a steadfast rule: take out the principal after making a 10% profit and use the profits to play the game, even if it goes to zero, I won’t lose my principal.

True belief doesn’t come from shouting slogans in a bull market, but from having the courage to hold quality coins during a market crash. After eight years of ups and downs, I no longer crave instant wealth; surviving in the crypto world will naturally lead to asset growth over time.

To be honest: it is completely feasible to turn things around in the crypto world with less than 2000U.
The volatility is even higher than the stock market, the feedback from price fluctuations is quicker, and the fairness without market manipulation is more significant. The real deadlock is just one—are you full of thoughts about making a fortune overnight by taking a huge risk?

Once you go all in on spot trading or heavily on contracts, if the market shows a slight dip, you'll immediately go from a dreamer to being a harvested victim. My approach is not flashy, not aggressive, and even a bit 'conservative', but it excels at surviving through the turbulent periods and can slowly profit through compound interest.

The primary task: switch from an emotionally-driven trader to a disciplined player. Don’t be greedy with the coins, focus on 2-3 mainstream coins (like BTC, ETH) and dig deep; with more than that, you simply can't track the flow of funds and candlestick patterns, and when the market moves, you'll panic and make mistakes.

Don’t chase highs during rises and don’t panic sell during drops; these two emotions are exactly what the main players love to harvest. Always leave 1/3 of your position as idle funds in spot trading, those who go all in will not only lose sleep but will inevitably face distorted operations due to subsequent market fluctuations.

Before entering the market, make sure to set your trading plan: lock in your profit-taking levels and stop-loss thresholds in advance and let the rules execute, don’t have any luck-based thinking at the moment.

The gap in returns has always been due to extreme trading discipline. Stick to building positions in batches, refuse to go all in at once; for coins you are optimistic about, gradually lay out in 2-3 phases at the support levels.

Mastering the basics of MA moving averages and support and resistance structure analysis can help you avoid 80% of the traps of false signals. The most critical point is: do not blindly trust any recommendations; those who flaunt their profit orders and shout 'go all in' in the community are mostly those who lead you to be harvested.

The crypto world is never short of waves and trend opportunities; what’s lacking are survivors who can withstand fluctuations and wait for opportunities. Don’t be greedy for daily profits; first, learn to control your positions in spot trading to protect your capital, then rely on compound interest to grow your funds. When the bull market arrives, you will be qualified to catch the dividends.

Many people in the crypto world are worried: How to turn around with little capital?

I have a solution, but I fear you might find it slow and lack patience.

Last year, I helped a brother start with 1500 USDT, and within four months, his account steadily grew to 45,200 USDT. The entire process avoided contracts and did not chase high leverage, relying purely on mechanical execution strategies, with no luck involved—just these three steps.

First step: Diversify for safety and maintain a trading bottom line.

Split the 1500 USDT into three parts: 500 USDT for day trading, capturing wave market trends, taking profits immediately at 3%, and never being greedy or stubborn;

500 USDT for trend trading, never establishing a position unless there's an effective breakthrough with more than 15% expected potential;

The remaining 500 USDT is reserve funds, which should not be touched even in a tempting market. Diversifying is not being conservative; it allows you to have the ability to fight back in bear market fluctuations and bull market corrections. Heavy investment often leads to liquidation.

Second step: Focus only on the main uptrend, shutting down during a sideways market.

The market spends 70% of the time in a range-bound situation. Random operations during this time will only lead to repeated losses; it’s better to wait patiently.

Wait for a clear trend to emerge and for volume to support the breakout before entering. Once profits reach 25%, take some profits off the table, and set a trailing stop loss on the remaining position to let profits follow the trend, while securing some gains first.

Third step: Discipline > Technique, ingrained into trading habits.

Three iron rules posted on the interface: a single loss must not exceed 2% of the capital; trigger stop loss and exit decisively, without making any excuses;

When profits reach 5%, first close half the position to lock in profits, and set a stop loss on the remaining position;

Never average down on losing positions; diluting costs is the fastest path to liquidation for beginners.

The core of doubling small funds is stability, not aggression. Adhering to the rules allows you to go further.

The phone exploded in the early morning, and my buddy in Shenzhen sent several voice messages in a panicked tone: "Bro! I went all in with 10,000 U at 50x leverage to long ETH, and when it pulled back 3%, I got liquidated, losing all my principal!"

I checked his trading records, he entered with 9,500 U without even setting a stop-loss, a typical gambler's mentality.

Many retail investors mistakenly believe that going all in can withstand fluctuations, but that's not the case—going all in with high leverage leads to faster losses than using isolated positions.

The core of liquidation is not about the level of leverage, but rather the combined effect of position size and leverage.

In a 1,000 U account, with 900 U at 10x leverage, a 5% reverse market movement hits the liquidation line;

However, with 100 U at 10x, it requires a 50% reverse movement to get liquidated, with a vastly different margin for error.

I used all my capital for half a year without being liquidated and even doubled my investment, relying on these three ironclad risk control rules:

First, do not exceed 20% of total funds for a single position. In a 10,000 U account, the maximum investment per trade is 2,000 U, and even if I set a stop-loss at 10%, I would only lose 200 U, leaving room for recovery;

Second, strictly control single losses within 3% of total capital. For example, if I enter with 2,000 U at 10x, with a preset 1.5% stop-loss, losing 300 U means exiting, even if there are several mistakes, it won't hurt the foundation;

Third, absolutely do not enter the market during periods of volatility; only trade during trend breakouts, and refuse to add positions after opening to avoid emotional trading.

The essence of going all in is to leave room for market fluctuations, not a tool for gambling. The cryptocurrency market alternates between bulls and bears quickly, and survival is more important than quick profits. If you want to avoid the fate of being cut off and accurately capture trend points, follow my real-time analysis of the market and seize entry opportunities amid volatility.

Uncle Cat has always been engaged in real trading, not creating illusions with virtual accounts. Currently, our team still has openings. If you want to thoroughly understand contract trading logic and break free from the curse of losses, let's band together to practically earn guaranteed profits @在带单的阿猫

There's always someone asking: With just a few thousand dollars in capital, how can one turn things around in the crypto world?
My answer is simple: implement a strategy and stick to discipline!

Last year, I helped a friend start with 900U in spot trading, and after 4 months without touching contracts or betting on hundredfold coins, we steadily grew it to 80,000U.

Today, I will break down this practical guide for you; just follow it to avoid most pitfalls!

First Tip: Diversify and control your positions, keep your lifeline secure. Split the 900U into three spot positions: 300U for day trading, decisively take profits and exit after achieving about 3% returns each time;

300U for trend trading, only enter when the cryptocurrency breaks through key resistance levels and the trend is clear, aiming for over 15%;

The remaining 300U serves as a safety net; no matter how tempting the market appears, do not touch it, as this provides the confidence to withstand corrections.

Second Tip: Only profit from trends, lie flat during sideways markets.
70% of the time in the crypto world is spent in sideways consolidation,
frequent trading during this time just leads to paying fees.

Patiently wait for effective breakouts or trend formations before getting involved,
once entered, take out part of the principal once profits reach 25%,
set a trailing stop on the remaining position to let profits run with the trend.

Third Tip: Strict risk control rules, never cross the line.

Three non-negotiable rules must be etched in your mind: single trade losses should not exceed 2% of your account's principal; trigger a stop loss and exit immediately;
lock in profits by closing half of the position after a 5% gain, set a breakeven stop on the remaining position;
never average down on losing trades; averaging down only accelerates liquidation.
Turning around with low capital, stability is more important than speed.

I, Uncle Cat, have always been engaged in real trading, not playing around with virtuals. Currently, there's still space in my team; if you want to thoroughly understand contract trading logic and break free from the curse of losses, let's band together for practical operations and earn guaranteed profits @在带单的阿猫

Newbies entering the cryptocurrency world should pay attention!
Make sure not to commit this major trading taboo,
otherwise it is easy to fall into a cycle of losses that is hard to recover from.

Many newcomers open the trading software,
just staring at the K-line fluctuations feeling itchy to place orders,
worried about missing out on a wave of market trends,
not understanding how to wait,
nor do they know what signals to wait for,
this is actually a deadly misunderstanding of short-term trading.

Taking cryptocurrency short-term trading as an example,
I will teach you how to accurately find entry points and catch the rhythm.

First, align with market fluctuation rhythms,
short-term closely monitor 1-minute, 5-minute, and 15-minute K-line charts,
capturing immediate market momentum;

Second, simplify tools,
focusing on 1-3 core indicators,
such as K-line patterns, EMA moving averages, and trading volume,
avoiding cluttered indicators that interfere with judgment;

Third, quick in and out,
set profit targets at 3-8 USD,
strictly set stop-loss levels at 1-3 USD,
avoiding wishful thinking;

Fourth, catch the high volatility windows,
the London trading session opening period is a key trading window,
market opportunities are more concentrated.

Short-term trading pitfalls to remember:
Absolutely avoid holding positions in the 5 minutes before data release,
major data like non-farm payrolls, CPI, etc., can easily trigger market spikes,
leading to widened spreads and skyrocketing slippage risks;

Refuse to stubbornly hold,
if losses exceed 2 USD, immediately execute stop-loss,
don't let short-term positions turn into long-term trapped positions;

Do not go against the trend,
even if trading short-term, you should refer to the 1-hour chart trend,
if the EMA moving averages are in a bullish arrangement, then only take long positions;

Strictly control trading frequency,
no more than 5 trades per day,
maintain an empty position and observe more than 80% of the time.

Final reminder: The success rate of short-term trading is usually between 55%-65%,
the core of profitability is to maintain a risk-reward ratio of more than 1.5:1.

It is recommended to first use a demo account to validate strategies,
only move to a real account after stable profits.

Short-term cryptocurrency trading is indeed walking on the edge,
strict trading discipline is the only protective gear.

Last year, I brought my brothers into the market, starting with 1500U,
not touching high-leverage contracts throughout the process, not chasing hundred-fold altcoins,
like executing a programmatic strategy and sticking to the rules,
in four months, I grew the account to 45,200U.

The core is three steps, each step in sync with the rhythm of the crypto market.

The first step is to protect yourself with diversified positions,
strictly splitting 1500U into three parts: 500U for day trading,
seizing short-term fluctuations to earn 3% and take profits,
never holding onto losing trades;

500U for trend trading,
never entering a position without a certainty of at least 15%;
the remaining 500U is reserved funds,
even when tempted, we do not touch it.

Diversification is not cowardice,
but leaving enough room for error,
many people fail by going all in,
a single pullback can wipe them out.

Only make money from the main uptrend,
during consolidation periods, close the software.
The crypto market spends 70% of the time in sideways consolidation,
during this time, following the trend will only result in repeated losses.

What we wait for is a valid breakout signal,
after the trend is clear, then place our bets,
after entering, if profits reach 25%,
withdraw part of the profits to secure them,
the rest uses a breakeven stop-loss to let profits run.

Discipline is a hundred times more important than technique:
no single loss should exceed 2% of the principal,
at the right time, cut losses;
when reaching 5% profit, take half off,
set the remaining position to breakeven;

never average down on losing positions,
averaging down is a shortcut to liquidation.
In these four months, what we did the most was wait,
while others were cutting losses in volatility,
we waited for the trend;

while others were adding positions to recover,
we had already cut losses and exited.
Small funds rely on steady progress rather than rushing,
only by adhering to the rules can we go far.

Many people just entering the cryptocurrency space focus on one thought:
Is this trade's win rate high enough? Can I make a guaranteed profit?

But those who can truly survive through the bull and bear cycles and make big money,
are never just about the win rate of a single trade,
but whether they have established a unique "probability mindset" for the cryptocurrency space.

There are no absolutely certain trades in the cryptocurrency market,
no matter how beautiful the candlestick patterns or how meticulous the volume logic,
they can at most increase the probability of market realization, rather than guaranteeing a rise or fall.

The market will not give you a capital protection promise just because you have scoured on-chain data and closely monitored the fluctuation range,
black swans, spikes, and liquidity traps can strike at any moment.

The difference between cryptocurrency experts and novices lies in this point:
the former do not gamble on single round profits and losses,
the latter treats every trade as an all-or-nothing bet.

Experts execute long-term beneficial strategies repeatedly,
for example, strictly implementing stop-loss and take-profit,
controlling positions without using full leverage,
even if they incur a loss in a single instance,
the overall probability advantage still remains.

Those traders who navigate through bull and bear markets,
their operations are often not spectacular,
there are no legends of accurately bottom-fishing or top-ticking.

It is enough for a strategy to have a slight positive edge,
there's no need to pursue perfect entry and exit points;
if the trading frequency is sufficient and covers the market cycle,
they won't be thrown off by a single spike or liquidation;
the most critical thing is to lock in risk,
not allowing a single misjudgment to hit the liquidation line and exit directly.

Many people find the difficulty in cryptocurrency lies in technical analysis,
but in reality, the challenge lies in mindset and cognition:
Can you accept losses as the norm in contract trading,
can you still execute according to rules when the market is unclear,
can you maintain position discipline even after being spiked multiple times?

Trading is a long-term process of gambling with oneself,
in the probability maze of the cryptocurrency space, maintaining calm,
the outcome has long been determined.

Many people dive into the crypto world and get misled by the hype of 'quick profits, high returns, and doubling out.'

Especially in contract trading, it seems like a shortcut to high returns,

but in reality, it is a brutal market filter—amplifying emotions with leverage,

eliminating investors who chase highs and lows, and have imbalanced mindsets in rounds,

This market is not about who wins more times,

but about who can avoid liquidation and endure until the trend benefits.

My ability to stand firm in the crypto world

is not based on precise top-tapping and bottom-dipping skills,

but on a few simple yet life-saving trading rules.

First, strictly control your position and avoid all-in.

Being fully leveraged is equivalent to handing over your account to market fluctuations,

even a slight pullback can trigger forced liquidation.

Reasonably allocate positions,

leaving enough room for mistakes during drawdowns,

so that after continuous losses, you still have funds waiting for certain opportunities.

Second, follow the trend and avoid going against it.

Bottom-fishing and top-guessing may seem clever,

but they are easily harvested by the main forces.

Before the trend breaks,

the market is always right,

relying on support levels to position with the trend,

pullbacks are actually good opportunities to increase positions,

never go against the big trend.

Third, preset profits and losses and don't gamble on luck.

Making money is easy, but protecting it is hard,

not setting stop losses or profit targets,

essentially exposes the account to boundless risks.

Before entering each trade, clearly define the maximum loss threshold,

control risk exposure,

to avoid account depletion.

Fourth, learn to stay in cash and wait for opportunities.

The common problem for beginners is not being unable to understand the market,

but frequently trading to seek a sense of existence.

Being in cash is not about lying flat,

it is a process of selecting high-probability targets,

trade less and focus on certain market trends,

the win rate will naturally improve.

In the crypto world, it is not about having a big risk appetite,

but about calm judgment and enough patience.

Not going all-in, not going against the trend, controlling risks, and trading less,

stably surviving each round of bull and bear markets,

is what qualifies you to catch the next wave of rewards.

Newbies just entering the cryptocurrency market should pause!
Don't rush to place orders as soon as you open the market software,
this bad habit will only lead to deeper losses.

I also fell into this trap in my early days,
watching the fluctuations on the K-line and fearing to miss out,
chasing orders only to get stuck deeper,
not understanding the meaning of 'waiting',
and not knowing what signals to wait for.

Today, I will use short-term trading as an example,
teach you how to find the right entry points and avoid detours.

The core of short-term trading focuses on three points:
First, align with market volatility,
keep a close eye on 1M, 5M, 15M period K-line charts,
and capture immediate long and short battle signals;

Second, don't be greedy with tools,
focus on 1-3 core indicators only,
for example, K-line patterns (hammer line, shooting star) combined with moving averages (EMA) and trading volume,
simplifying the analysis dimensions;

Third, enter and exit quickly,
set profit targets at 3-8 dollars,
strictly limit losses to 1-3 dollars, and never procrastinate.

The pitfall guide must be remembered:
In the 5 minutes before the announcement of macro data like non-farm payrolls and CPI,
be sure to stay out of the market,
during this time, spreads widen sharply and slippage risks increase;

Refuse to stubbornly hold,
if a single loss exceeds 2 dollars, immediately stop loss,
don't let short-term trades turn into deep positions;

Don't go against the trend,
even when doing short-term trades, refer to the 1H trend,
if EMA shows a bullish arrangement, only go long;

Control trading frequency,
don't exceed 5 trades per day,
maintain a position of 80% or more of the time.

Finally, a reminder:
The win rate for short-term trading is usually between 55%-65%,
the key to profit is a win-loss ratio of ≥1.5:1.

It is recommended to first use a demo account to refine strategies,
and only switch to a real account once profits are stable.

Short-term trading in the cryptocurrency market is like licking blood on the tip of a knife,
discipline is the only protection.

After being in the crypto space for a long time,
most people do not fail due to market volatility,
but rather lose to their own greed and impatience.

Just like cryptocurrencies such as $ZBT ,
many people have limited funds,
yet become obsessed with high-frequency trading for transaction fees,
and end up missing out on one or two significant trends that only occur once a year.

It is important to keep enough reserve funds on hand,
not only to average down costs by buying at low points,
but also to stabilize one's mindset during volatile markets,
and avoid being forced to sell at a loss.

Do not touch unfamiliar cryptocurrencies; this is a bottom line.

It doesn't matter to experiment and make mistakes in a simulation account,
but when real money is involved,
the emotions can be magnified infinitely by the fluctuations.

Before placing an order, clarify the project narrative and chip structure,
understand the logic of the funds before taking action,
which can help avoid most pitfalls.

Remember,
good news becoming reality is often bad news,
when the market is in a frenzy and good news is flooding screens,
it is often the window for the main force to offload,
a high opening is instead a good opportunity to exit,
and not a signal to buy in.

Before holidays, be sure to reduce your positions,
when market liquidity dries up,
prices can easily be manipulated by a small amount of funds,
and volatility will be extraordinarily intense,
being at ease during the holidays is far more reliable than staying up all night watching the market.

For medium-term investments, do not be greedy for overnight riches,
buy in batches during pullbacks,
take profits gradually during rises,
and always keep some cash on hand,
so you can respond to sudden market movements.

For short-term trades, only focus on sufficiently active cryptocurrencies,
a coin that is stagnant with low volume,
even if it has an attractive pattern, should not be touched,
it is easy to get trapped in a liquidity trap.

Coins that are in a prolonged decline still have an escape buffer period,
a rebound after a sharp drop is only suitable for quick in-and-out,
being greedy for just one more second can lead to being trapped.

Stop-loss is essentially about recognizing mistakes in a timely manner,
and preserving capital is necessary for the next round of bets.

There is no need to learn too many technical indicators,
just mastering a few core ones like MACD, volume, and moving averages is enough,
a complex combination of indicators may not be more effective than a simple one.

In the crypto space, when it comes down to the end,
the core principle is two words: restraint,
restraint in frequent operations,
restraint in fantasies of getting rich quickly,
only then can one navigate through bulls and bears without being eliminated.

In cryptocurrency trading,
it's essential to first check the strength rankings of the past week or two, just like checking the weather before leaving home.

I only focus on those coins that have significantly increased trading volume and net capital inflow,
and I won't touch any assets without new capital support,
no matter how beautiful the K-line pattern is.
Only when there are signs of major capital accumulation
(such as a large bullish engulfing candle or concentrated chips),
is there a possibility of trading opportunities.

The direction should never be speculated subjectively,
just keep an eye on the monthly chart for the big cycle.

The up-and-down fluctuations on the daily chart are all noise,
the real trend is hidden in the larger cycles.

A monthly MACD golden cross accompanied by a moderate increase in trading volume
is a clear signal for medium to long-term capital entry,
following the trend is much safer than blindly guessing long or short directions.

I only recognize the 60-day moving average as the key dividing line for bullish and bearish positions.

After the trend is established,
if the price retraces to the 60-day moving average and finds support,
while the trading volume does not shrink (volume and price synchronization),
that is the safety margin I am willing to act on.

Controllable costs and clear support naturally stabilize the holding mentality.

The hardest part of trading is not buying,
but taking profit and cutting losses.

My rules are very strict:
once the price effectively breaks below the 60-day moving average (if the closing price doesn't hold and breaks down with volume),
decisively liquidate all positions and never hold onto hope.

A moment of weakness can instantly erase previous profits.

Lock in a portion of profits when floating gains reach the target range,
and use a trailing stop for the remaining position to follow the trend,
with a lighter position,
the mindset will not collapse.

Some say this method is too rigid,
but in the cryptocurrency market,
relying on a trading system to earn certain profits
and relying on feelings in the moment will only lead to repeated tuition fees.

The market is volatile,
rules cannot be chaotic,
only trade trends that can be understood,
maintain good positions and discipline,
and the market will naturally give you positive feedback.

Many people enter the cryptocurrency exchange,
On the first day, they are destined to become the leeks under the sickle.

All day staring at the candlestick charts guessing bullish or bearish,
Being led by market sentiment,
Repeatedly refreshing MACD and RSI indicators,
In the end, it's not the market that eliminates them,
But they exhaust their capital and mindset in frequent operations,
Just like the fluctuations of coins like $BEAT, the more you stare, the more chaotic it becomes.

After stepping into countless pits,
I only adhere to one principle:
Do not predict the market, only build trading structures.

Before opening each contract,
I first finalize three answers:
How to exit quickly after hitting the stop-loss line,
How to reduce positions in batches when reaching the preset take-profit level,
When to withdraw profits to a cold wallet.

If these three points are not thought through, I absolutely won’t touch any coin.

Once the account profit surpasses the capital,
Withdrawing profits must be decisive.

In the cryptocurrency world, profits that have not been withdrawn,
Are essentially chips temporarily stored by the market,
Sooner or later they will be shaken or spiked back,
What truly counts as secured funds,
Is your own money.

The so-called 'clear direction,'
In the cryptocurrency world is mostly an illusion,
The market is in a long-term state of fluctuation and consolidation,
Betting on a single point is no different from gambling behavior.

I never use all my funds for a big bet,
But use a combination of spot trading and light position contracts,
To participate with different logic spread out.

Even if my judgments are completely wrong,
Losses are locked within the planned stop-loss line;
Once the market aligns with expectations,
The risk-reward ratio will naturally expand.

My trading win rate is not very high,
But I can survive in the cryptocurrency world for a long time.
Stop-loss is never a failure,
It is to preserve positions,
A ticket to stay at the table.

As long as I am not severely injured by a single market event,
When the bull market or coin explosion comes,
There will always be an opportunity for a comeback.

In the end, trading in the cryptocurrency world,
Is not about who guesses accurately,
But about who can stay at the table— the market never lacks opportunities to make mistakes,
What is lacking is the qualification to still be present after making mistakes.

Market fluctuations in the cryptocurrency world: Staying calm is the key to survival

$BEAT Once such assets experience severe fluctuations,
what is tested is not the technical analysis or indicator judgment,
but whether you can maintain your core beliefs during a downtrend and not be swayed by emotions.

Most people's first reaction after being trapped is confusion:
Should I cut my losses and exit?
In fact, most of the losses stem from the moment of 'not being able to bear the volatility',
emotional selling is equivalent to voluntarily giving up your principal.

If you hold spot assets,
your position should be controlled at 20%-30% of total funds,
and use spare money that doesn't affect your life,
then a short-term correction is just a normal market fluctuation,
it is by no means doomsday.

At this time, there is no need to obsess over the internal fluctuations,
it's more important to review the fundamentals of the asset:
the progress of the project, ecological consensus, circulating supply structure,
and assess whether it is worth holding for the long term.

The real challenge comes during the second correction.
Many people withstand the first wave of selling,
yet during the second dip, emotions collapse,
precisely cutting at the liquidity low,
and then watching the asset gradually build a bottom and recover,
only to be left with regret.

As for friends who are out of the market or have already cleared their positions,
remember that opportunities in the cryptocurrency world are never lacking,
what is lacking is the patience to control your hands.
No one can precisely time the bottom,
building positions in batches and gradually increasing your holdings can lower your cost,
and help you survive longer in the market.

The market is not about turning around with one contract or one spot trade,
it is about avoiding major mistakes through repeated actions and accumulating gains through steady operations.

Surviving in the cryptocurrency world,
judging direction is secondary,
managing your mindset is the core.

Control your position well, only use spare money, so you can maintain rationality during fluctuations,
and ignore the short-term noise of ups and downs.

Withstand the worst moments of market emotions,
do not act blindly,
and you will eventually wait for your own trending market.

Many people open the contract interface for the first time, not really aiming for steady profits,

but harboring a belief: “If this trade hits, I can turn things around.”

But let me pour a bucket of cold water on you and shatter this illusion.

Contracts are indeed the place with the highest capital efficiency in the cryptocurrency space,

doubling in a short time is not a myth,

but it is also the slaughterhouse where liquidation to zero happens the fastest,

with almost no room for error.

You think you are trading accurately,

but in fact, you are struggling against leverage—leverage is never just about amplifying profits,

your greed, fear, and hesitation will all be infinitely magnified by it.

Newbies often stumble over three things:

First, using full leverage, heavy positions lead to insufficient margin,

where even slight market fluctuations trigger forced liquidation;

Second, holding onto losing trades, stubbornly clinging to the market,

ignoring trend reversal signals;

Third, going all in, hoping to break even with one trade,

turning trading into gambling.

In short, contracts without stop-loss and take-profit settings are essentially gambling.

The market shows no sympathy for anyone, only striking precisely at your risk threshold.

Those suddenly rising cryptocurrencies,

you see them as opportunities to get rich, while the market makers see them as liquidity pools,

once you chase in, you become their exit liquidity.

Those who can survive long-term in the contract market,

are not the smartest traders,

but those who understand restraint the most.

Low leverage, light positions, strict stop-loss, timely acknowledgment of mistakes,

may seem conservative, but they are the truth of survival.

The core of contracts is to amplify existing trading advantages, not to turn things around.

If you can't even protect your principal, it will only accelerate your exit.

First learn to survive in the market, then it's not too late to talk about making money.

In the cryptocurrency space, those who can stand firm and continue to profit are

never the fast players who frequently chase after trends and panic sell,

but rather those who anchor to the big cycles and maintain a steady mindset. $XRP

What is truly valuable in the market are the major directions on daily and weekly charts,

while the fluctuations on the 15-minute charts,

are mostly the noise from market makers washing out floating positions,

so there's no need to overthink it.

As long as you step on the right macro narrative and big cycle trends,

even if you encounter short-term fluctuations and pullbacks,

it won’t affect the final profit outcome.

When I first entered the market, I also fell into the maze of indicators,

stubbornly focusing on MACD, RSI, watching the market 24/7,

my emotions fluctuated wildly with the price changes,

and as a result, frequent trading consumed a lot of friction costs,

the returns were far less than those of friends who traded infrequently.

The more I settled down, the clearer it became that trading methods can be simplified,

but position management and mental training must be refined.

Now, I am not swept away by FOMO chasing highs,

nor am I afraid of missing out on short-term trends.

I build positions anchored in on-chain signals and macro logic,

and when it's time to add to my positions, I act decisively,

I exit promptly when hitting preset stop-loss thresholds, never holding on stubbornly.

Stop-loss is part of trading,

accepting small losses can help avoid significant capital damage.

Even when the market fluctuates due to policy or liquidity changes,

I am still grounded.

When the direction is right, opportunities will naturally arise,

the core of continuous profit generation,

is knowing when to act and when to stop.

The next round of trends is brewing,

how much profit can be made,

ultimately depends on one's mindset and rhythm control.
