The crypto world has never lacked the myth of "getting rich overnight," but the reality is that most people become numbers in "blow-up overnight." I have seen too many cases—someone投入五千块，梦想合约一把翻倍，结果三十分钟就彻底爆仓. To be honest, this isn't a matter of luck; it's a lack of methodology.

What I want to share is a somewhat "counterintuitive" approach: give up on getting rich quickly and focus on steady profits. This logic helped me break out of a cycle of repeated losses and reach a stage of consistent profitability. Summarized in six words—position sizing, following the trend, discipline. It sounds simple, but few can truly do it.

**The first key: treat capital as "life," position sizing is your lifeline**

Many newcomers go all-in right away, telling themselves it's "a gamble," but in reality, they're just throwing themselves into the fire. My approach is completely opposite: for example, with a capital of five thousand, I divide it into five parts, risking only one thousand each time.

What are the benefits of this? Suppose a trade hits a stop loss and loses 10%, that’s only a hundred bucks, which is just 2% of the total capital. The remaining four parts become your "ammunition reserve"—used for adding positions or waiting for opportunities, always keeping the possibility of turning things around.

It may seem inefficient, slow progress? But in crypto, opportunities are never scarce; what’s scarce is the capital to stay alive. I know someone whose capital was wiped out, yet they kept borrowing to add to their positions, ultimately losing everything and ending up in debt. This is not a joke; it’s a real lesson. So position management isn’t just an investment skill; it’s survival instinct.

**The second key: only eat the middle part of the fish, don’t bite the head or tail**

Everyone has heard of "following the trend," but few truly understand it. How many have been wiped out by the vague intuition of "I think it might be over"?

The key is to distinguish between two scenarios. In a downtrend, any rebound is just a trap for more shorts; trying to bottom fish at this point is suicide. Conversely, in an uptrend, each pullback is a genuine entry point; waiting for a higher high or a limit-up before chasing is just fear of missing out.

How to quickly judge the strength of a trend? My method is to look at moving averages. When the 3-day moving average is rising, short-term opportunities appear; when the 30-day moving average is upward, it indicates a healthy mid-term trend and a good setup; if the 120-day moving average is also rising, congratulations, the main upward wave has arrived. At this point, no need to time the market—just hold and ride the wave, no one can stop this rise.

Last year, Bitcoin went from 20,000 to 30,000 in a rally. I was fully long throughout. Every time the price retraced to the 30-day moving average, I added to my position. This isn’t gambling; it’s the highest probability move within a confirmed trend. And the result? I was quite satisfied with the gains from that rally.

**The third key: discipline is more valuable than technical skills**

After all I’ve said, I want to emphasize one last point: execution. You can learn all the indicators and complex theories, but without strict discipline, even the best methods will be destroyed by emotions.

My rules are simple: cut losses at 10%, no bargaining; never risk more than 20% of total capital on a single position; when the market is unclear, stay in cash rather than forcing trades. These rules may sound restrictive, but in reality, they are my insurance policy.

The market daily creates temptations and traps. A good rally today can make you greedy; a sharp decline tomorrow can make you panic. But if you have discipline as a line of defense, emotional swings won’t damage your account. That’s the real secret to consistent profits.
