2025 was a bountiful year for my crypto trading career. From hitting a new all-time high with Bitcoin at the beginning of the year, to participating in multiple Launchpool projects and airdrops mid-year, and finally learning to stay calm amidst intense volatility by the end of the year—this entire experience has given me a clearer understanding of the market. I have explored spot trading, futures, and financial products, covering various trading methods, and my overall portfolio growth exceeded 150%.

To summarize, there are three key points worth sharing. First is diversification of the investment portfolio. I used to make the mistake of putting too much capital into a single asset, only to realize later that this approach carries too much risk. Diversification not only reduces the impact of a single point of failure but also helps find opportunities across different market cycles.

Second is discipline in stop-loss and take-profit strategies. Honestly, this is more effective than any technical indicator. The market is full of emotional decisions—greedy when prices rise, panicked when prices fall. I spent a lot of time learning to overcome these psychological traps, setting proper stop-loss levels and sticking to them, preventing emotions from hijacking judgment.

Finally, making full use of trading tools. Grid trading performs well in sideways markets, and dual-currency investments can generate additional income amid volatility. The common point of these tools is that they reduce the difficulty of market timing, making trading more mechanical and stable.

How the market will evolve in 2026 remains uncertain, but I am more confident in my trading system. I hope more people can find a rhythm that suits them in this market.

150% Haha... The contract leverage is still based on spot stacking. You need to see clearly through the hype.

150%？Bro, are you serious or just bragging again... Honestly, I need to learn discipline for stop-losses; I keep getting itchy and changing the stop-loss positions. Grid trading is really effective, but it tests your mentality a lot. Diversified allocation is indeed important, but I still have a bit of a gambler's mentality that I can't shake off haha. A stable mindset is the key; technical indicators are really unreliable. When will the market take off in 2026? I can't wait anymore.

A 150% return sounds impressive, but honestly, what I fear most is this kind of narrative of "I made money, so you can too"... --- Stop-loss is really more valuable than any technical indicator. I didn't cut losses and ended up losing from 100,000 to 30,000... --- Diversified allocation sounds simple, but when it comes to actual execution, who isn't tangled in hesitation? --- Grid trading is indeed comfortable in a bull market, but don't celebrate too early when a bear market comes. --- How are those who went all-in at the beginning of the year doing now? This article has a bit of a survivor bias. --- It's easy to talk about mindset, but try not to panic when the market drops 5000 points. --- Dual-currency investment sounds like packaged spot hedging, but can the actual return rate hold up? --- A 150% portfolio growth definitely involves luck; don't take this experience as a bible.

150%... Bro, these numbers are pretty impressive. Using both grid and stop-loss strategies, you're really someone who sticks to discipline. --- Honestly, what hit me the most was that "emotional manipulation judgment" line. I'm the one being manipulated. Every time I try to hold a bit longer, and then... --- Diversified allocation is indeed the way to go. Relying on a single coin feels like playing with fire; sooner or later, you'll get burned. --- Grid trading is really effective, but I still get itchy hands. I always want to manually operate, and as a result, I end up losing. --- Talking about stop-loss and take-profit is easy, but executing them is a whole different story. How many lessons does it take to develop this habit? --- This trading system sounds quite systematic, but for someone like me who’s impatient, I probably need to suffer a few more losses to truly understand. --- 150% directly doubles the investment. If I could consistently achieve this return, I could just relax, but the probability feels quite mysterious.

150%？Bro, are you serious? I feel like I'm sleepwalking. To be honest, I need to review my stop-loss discipline; I keep impulsively closing positions. Is grid trading really that profitable? I haven't tried it before, and I'm a bit tempted.

150%？Bro, are you serious? Luckily I didn't go all-in on a single coin. --- I have to admit, my stop-loss discipline is better than mine... Still exploring on the road to losing money. --- Grid trading has definitely saved me many times. No need to always think about buying the bottom and selling the top, much easier. --- Diversification makes sense, but when the market heats up, I still want to go all-in on a certain coin. Human nature. --- That 150% number is a bit extreme. Did I catch a big airdrop whale? --- Mastering stop-loss is the hardest part. Watching it hit the daily limit and still wanting to buy the dip... Need to work on my mindset. --- I'm using both dual-coin investment and grid trading. Definitely more stable than reckless operations. --- Earning so much in 2025, won't 2026 crash? Feels like the crypto world always has surprises.

A 150% doubling is amazing; I lost all my IQ last year.
