I've been trading for nearly eight years, growing my funds from 20,000 to 50 million. The core secret is actually very simple — never fully load the position, stick to 50% of your capital, and steadily build your position. Monthly returns can then consistently break through 70%. I teach this method to my apprentices, and they double their capital in just three months. Today, I want to systematically organize these practical experiences. If you read carefully, you should be able to avoid many detours.

First, let's talk about capital management. Divide your principal into 5 parts, only invest one-fifth each time, and set a 10-point stop loss. This way, even if you make 5 consecutive wrong trades, your total loss is only 10%. As long as you get one correct trade with a take profit of over 10 points, you can recover your losses immediately. Many people can't withstand drawdowns when fully loaded, and they get stopped out in a single market wave.

The second key point is following the trend. During a downtrend, every rebound is a trap; during an uptrend, every pullback is a golden opportunity to buy the dip. Too many traders operate against the trend, thinking they see through the market, but in the end, they get harshly taught.

Regarding coin selection, avoid coins that have surged sharply in the short term. Whether mainstream or altcoins, it’s all the same. Coins that can sustain continuous main upward waves are truly rare. The probability of further rapid increases after a short-term surge is actually very low. When the coin reaches a high level of stagnation, it can’t be pushed higher and will inevitably fall back. The logic is simple, but many still want to gamble on it.

MACD is a good auxiliary tool. When DIF and DEA form a golden cross below the zero line and break above zero, it’s a relatively stable entry signal. When MACD forms a death cross above zero and moves downward, it’s time to consider reducing your position.

Never believe in the theory of averaging down. That’s a trap for retail traders. The more you add to losing positions, the more you lose — this is the deadliest cycle in trading. Only add when you’re profitable; never average down when you’re losing. This ironclad rule must be ingrained in your mind.

Volume decides everything. In the crypto world, the soul of buying and selling is volume. Pay attention to volume breakthroughs at low levels, and be decisive about selling when volume stagnates at high levels.

When choosing coins, only focus on those in an uptrend. This maximizes your win rate and saves time. The 3-day moving average turning upward signals short-term upward movement; the 30-day moving average turning upward indicates medium-term initiation; the 84-day moving average turning upward marks the start of a main upward wave; and the 120-day moving average turning upward signifies a long-term trend.

The last point is review. Every trade must be reviewed: does the holding logic still hold? Does the weekly K-line trend meet expectations? Has the trend changed? Adjust your strategy promptly based on the review results. Continuous iteration is the key to surviving longer in the market.
