Having navigated the crypto world for 8 years, experienced 3 brutal bear markets, caught 4 major bull runs, and ultimately accumulated over 50 million in profits—today I decide to publicly share all the core trading principles refined over these years, all built on real-world wisdom earned with real money.



**The First Principle of Capital Allocation**
Only have less than 200,000 in capital? Then focus your firepower on waiting for a major upward wave. Never expect to bet everything every time. Always keep at least 30% of your position as reserve; this way, you have the initiative to respond to any sudden market movements, rather than being completely controlled by price fluctuations.

**Cognition Determines Your Ceiling**
Before trading with real money, practice thoroughly in a simulated environment—mindset, skills, risk control—all must be polished. Demo trading allows unlimited trial and error, but a single critical mistake in real trading could mean immediate exit and no second chance.

**The Window for Positive News and Selling Points**
If you didn’t sell on the day of a major positive announcement, then decisively take profits when the price opens higher the next day. There’s a market rule: once good news is truly realized and reflected, it’s equivalent to bad news arriving. This rhythm has long been set by the market.

**Forced Reduction Before Holidays**
One week before major holidays, forcibly reduce your positions to below 30%, preferably go completely flat. Reviewing the past 8 years of market trends, the probability of prices dipping during holidays exceeds 80%. Protecting your principal is more valuable than chasing small gains.

**Medium to Long-Term Rolling Strategy**
The core logic is: cash is king—sell at high, buy at low, and repeat. With ample cash reserves, you can flexibly adjust positions during volatile markets and continuously earn from price differentials.

**Focus Only on Active Targets for Short-Term Trading**
Volume and candlestick patterns are your signals. Avoid coins that are dead and show no volatility; only active markets are truly profitable.

**Understand the Downward Rhythm and Pinpoint Rebound Timing**
During the deceleration phase of a decline, rebounds are often frustratingly slow; but once the decline accelerates, rebounds come swiftly and briefly. Master this pattern to avoid missing out or getting trapped.

**Cut Losses When You Make the Wrong Move—Capital Safety First**
There’s no limit to gains or losses in crypto. Learning to accept losses is more important than anything else. Cutting losses promptly preserves your capital for future comeback.

**Two Essential Tools for Short-Term Trading**
Use 15-minute candlestick charts combined with the KDJ indicator. This combo accurately captures short-term fluctuations, helps you spot buy and sell signals, and avoids 80% of trap setups for false breakouts or false breakdowns.

**One Skill Outperforms Eighteen Techniques**
You don’t need many trading skills; mastering 1-2 strategies to perfection is enough. Chasing a comprehensive set of tactics only disperses focus. Focus on one or two strategies, refine them repeatedly—that’s the key to stable profits.

Basically, living is more important than making money, and this guy has figured it out. Stop-loss is really the first lesson; it's more effective than any technical indicator. I agree with the rule of staying out of the market before holidays; the 8-year data is right there. Fifty million sounds impressive, but how many can stick to a 30% reserve position? Rolling operations sound easy to talk about, but the psychological barrier is the hardest during actual execution.

To be honest, 50 million sounds really impressive, but the key question is how many people can actually make it to the end and hold onto that money.

It's all just nonsense; in actual operation, you'll get overwhelmed with orders.

Honestly, 50 million sounds impressive, but I've already tested this theory in the blood pit. Wait, a drop of 80% during holidays? I remember last year's Spring Festival directly hitting the daily limit up. No hype, no blackening. Stop-loss has indeed saved me several times, admitting defeat is really more comfortable than holding on to the end. I agree with keeping 30% as reserve funds, but with the current volatile market, sometimes holding too much can also be a kind of torment. I support practicing on a simulated account; back then, I went straight into real trading and almost lost all my capital. The phrase "Cash is king," the problem is, when is cash considered to be at a low point? Isn't that still based on intuition? Good news can be bad news, uh... I feel this is a post-hoc analysis. Who can be 100% sure at the moment of action? Using 15-minute K and KDJ, I've tried this combo, but I have some doubts about the 80% trap avoidance figure. I agree with the one-trick pony approach. Compared to those who change strategies every day, focusing is indeed more profitable. Focusing firepower on the main upward wave—easy to say, but the key is how to judge when the real main rise is happening?

Sounds good, but whether the 50 million can be maintained depends on the situation... I need to try the strategy of forcibly staying out of the market during holidays; I was really affected by holiday market trends before. Mock trading is real; I just missed this step and suffered losses, now I can't turn things around. The idea that good news is a selling point is a bit absolute; I've also seen good news lead to continued gains. I agree that cash is king; too many people are fully invested and end up getting trapped. Having one effective trick is correct; I wanted to learn everything before, but I didn't master anything. Using KDJ with 15-minute candlestick charts can work, but this combination gives quite mixed signals in volatile markets. The lesson of stop-loss is truly a painful one; not admitting defeat can really lead to immediate elimination.
