In 2025, I gained a lot on my journey in crypto trading. When Bitcoin broke above $100,000 at the beginning of the year, I felt this bull market had potential, and I focused on allocating to BTC and ETH in the spot market. To be honest, following the trend was easy at first, but then I realized a key principle—risk management is the key to longevity.

I developed a habit: before each position, I set stop-loss and take-profit levels. What's the benefit of doing this? It helps me stay away from emotional trading. When the market fluctuates between red and green, it's easy to make mistakes, but having pre-established discipline acts like a firewall.

I also put effort into trading tools. I use grid trading more frequently, which can automatically help me buy the dip and sell the top in volatile markets; earning coin products give my idle assets a place to stay. Combining these tools makes me much more stable when facing market fluctuations.

During the mid-year Solana ecosystem rally, I didn't miss out and added to SOL-related tokens in time, which multiplied several times. The key is to stay sensitive to the market, but at the same time, stick to my investment framework.

Looking back at the entire 2025, security and liquidity had the biggest impact on my holding mentality. Being able to hold coins peacefully through the winter is already a win. The 2026 market hasn't started yet, but I'm already prepared—continue refining my trading strategies and keep learning.
