#数字资产市场洞察 , a survival manual that you must read if you only have a few hundred U in your account.



The crypto world has never been a gamble, but rather the one who survives the longest wins. It's not shameful to have little money, but if you keep thinking about making a comeback in one shot, then it's dangerous.

Last year I took a junior to navigate the market; he started with only 500U, and his hands shook when placing orders. I told him one thing: "Don't think about doubling your money, just learn to survive first." Three months later, his account grew to 18000U. During this period, he had zero liquidations and zero margin calls. This isn't luck; it's purely because he followed three rules.

**Rule 1: Divide the principal into three parts, leaving yourself an escape route.**

150U for short-term trading, only touching $BTC and $ETH, clear out when the fluctuation reaches 3%, don’t be greedy; 150U for swing trading, wait for a clear breakout or breakdown signal on the daily chart before entering, hold for a maximum of 5 days before exiting; keep the remaining 200U in a corner of the account, don’t touch it even in extreme market conditions, it’s the seed for a comeback. Those who go all in will be gone with a single needle. But those who diversify their allocations can withstand two or three rounds of pokes.

**Article 2: Only eat the trend, don't gnaw at the fluctuations.**

The market is in a sideways trend 70% of the time. Frequent trading is just giving money to the exchange. My entry criteria are very simple: the 15-minute candlestick chart must show continuous volume increase, and the daily MACD must show a golden cross or death cross; I only take action when both signals appear simultaneously. When profits rise to 12%, I take out half first and let the rest continue to run. The principle is "if you don’t take action, it’s fine; if you do, make sure to bite the meat." Being a beat slow and not chasing highs actually makes it more stable.

**Article 3: Discipline is written next to the keyboard, and emotions are kept in a cage.**

A single loss exceeding 2% should trigger an immediate liquidation—my computer even has software set to automatically close positions; when profits reach 4%, take half off, and set a 3% trailing stop for the remaining position; absolutely do not add to losing positions, the idea of "waiting for a pullback" must be completely eliminated. The market may be misread, but discipline cannot be compromised. By relying on the system to control actions, one can survive in this market for the long term.

Turning 500U into 18000U sounds like a fairy tale, but it is actually the compound interest accumulated by "making fewer mistakes." It's not scary to have a small principal, what’s scary is always wanting to turn things around. Stick these three points on the edge of your screen and read them once when you feel restless: diversify your allocation, wait for trends, and stick to your discipline.

Slow and steady wins the race. When the next round of the main upward wave comes, I hope we are all securely on the bus and not left behind in the ditch.

Capital management is very important and should not be ignored.

This junior is really ruthless, 36 times in three months, my hands are weak. The key is that the phrase about locking emotions in a cage struck me; I am the type that gets itchy hands, seeing two limit-ups makes me want to go all in.

Discipline is really easy to talk about but hard to practice... It's easiest to break the rules when your hands tremble. --- I've heard the story of 18000u a hundred times, but the most heart-wrenching words remain — living long is winning, not winning quickly. --- I'm also using the strategy of dividing the principal into three parts; it feels much better than going all in, at least my heart won't be in my throat every day. --- Close Position at 2%? That's a bit harsh, but thinking it over, that's the real way to live. --- Not chasing the price is truly amazing; waiting just a little longer earns more than chasing in, I've verified this repeatedly. --- What's scary is that 9 out of 10 people who understand these principles can't apply them; a pullback makes them forget everything. --- When can I quit the doubling dream? This is the biggest issue in the crypto world. --- Using automatic closing software is a brilliant move; it prevents me from being impulsive. --- Frequent trading in a volatile market is really just working for the exchange; I suffered huge losses doing that a while ago.

This is amazing, it's exactly what I've been trying to express... making fewer mistakes is really more important than anything else. --- Turning 500 into 18000 sounds great, but the key is that "don't think about doubling, just stay alive," it hits hard. --- I'm the worst when it comes to discipline, I can't control myself when I have the itch to trade... I need to learn to set automatic Close Position. --- I can't believe I didn't think of dividing it into three parts, it seems much more reliable than any precise buy the dip. --- To be honest, I've lost the most in choppy markets, frequent trading really just gives money to the exchange, I can acknowledge that. --- I need to get a tattoo of the phrase "slow down and don't chase the price"... how many people have blown up by chasing high?

From 500U to 18000U, it sounds easy, but how many can truly stick to those three points? I think most people still have itchy hands.

It's better to stick to discipline than to just talk; that's the real secret to longevity. --- It's nice to say that 500U can reach 18K, but the key is still to resist the temptation to increase the position, and that's the hardest part. --- I'm also using the strategy of diversification, but when my hands get itchy, I still want to take a Heavy Position, haha. --- Setting an automatic stop loss is indeed ruthless, but most people can't do it at all. --- If you can't distinguish between trends and fluctuations, it's better not to touch leverage. --- 150 for short-term + 150 for swing trading + 200 for safety funds, the logic is sound, but executing it is hell. --- You're not wrong; the crypto world is a test of mentality and discipline, and most people fail. --- This method sounds dull, but it really helps you survive and is worth more than any doubling secret. --- The thinking of doubling is not to be adopted; that's how I've ended up trapped until now. --- The phrase about not chasing the price when waiting for a trend needs to be repeatedly drilled into your brain.

500U turned into 18000U... to be honest, I've heard this story too many times, the key is whether one can stick to the discipline. Most people get cold feet before they even press the button. Having itchy hands is really a killer, that's how I blew up. If I hadn't set a stop loss for automatic Close Position later, I would have been done for. I have to admit that the diversified allocation strategy is much easier on the psyche compared to going all in. Being able to withstand losses keeps the mindset stable.
