Seven years in the crypto trading world, turning an initial capital of 35,000 into assets exceeding 60 million, with a stable monthly income of over 200,000. Sounds exaggerated? Actually, there’s no secret, just four words—stability first.

My core logic is simple and straightforward: divide the total funds into 5 parts, and only use one part for each trade. Set a 10% stop-loss, and if you lose once, the loss won’t exceed 2% of your total capital. Even if you make five consecutive mistakes, you only lose 10%. Conversely, set take-profit at over 10%, and over the long term, your profit-loss ratio will have doubled. I teach this strategy to my apprentices—doubling their funds in three months proves I’m not just talking nonsense.

But money management alone isn’t enough. Following the trend is the key to survival. Rebounds during a downtrend are often traps, and pullbacks during an uptrend are usually entry points. If you insist on fighting the trend to buy the dip, that’s gambling mentality. I’ve seen too many people get stuck in this trap.

Avoid coins that surge wildly in the short term; whether mainstream or altcoins, it’s all the same. Truly sustainable upward trends are rare. After a high-level stagnation, a pullback is a physical law—hoping for a rebound is futile.

When entering a position, I use MACD to assist judgment. A bullish crossover of DIF and DEA below the zero line, and stabilizing above zero, is a solid signal. Conversely, a death cross above zero indicates it’s time to reduce or exit. I evaluate such assets with the same logic.

Regarding averaging down—this term has caused many retail investors to fail. The more you lose, the more you buy, and the more you buy, the more you lose—this is a dead end. Remember one iron rule: never add to a losing position; only consider increasing when in profit. If the direction is correct, adding is the icing on the cake; if wrong, averaging down is suicide.

Volume is the real pulse of the crypto market. A sudden surge after a consolidation at a low level is worth noting. But if volume spikes at a high level without further gains, run quickly. Volume-price divergence often signals a reversal.

My criteria for selecting coins are very clear: only trade assets in an uptrend. The 3-day moving average trending upward indicates short-term opportunities; the 30-day moving average rising suggests mid-term; the 84-day moving average trending up usually means entering the main upward phase; and the 120-day moving average rising is a long-term opportunity. This approach improves win rate and avoids wasting energy on bad coins.

One last point: daily review is essential. Check whether your current holdings’ logic still holds, whether the weekly trend has changed, and if the trend has reversed. Timely review allows for timely adjustments. I pay special attention to the trend changes of top coins during my reviews.

After seven years, my biggest takeaway isn’t how much I’ve made, but that I’ve survived until now. This market is never short of stories of getting rich quickly; what’s missing are those who stay alive and keep making money.
