Don't remind me again today

#数字货币市场回调 I have seen too many people stumble in the crypto market. In fact, most of the time it's not bad luck, but rather a problem with their methodology.



Last month, I encountered a typical case: a trader with only 2000U left in their account did not choose to liquidate and leave the market, but instead used a very simple set of money management rules. As a result, in just over a month, the account balance shot up to 82,000.

His first principle - building positions in batches. When market signals are unclear, always use only 20-30% of funds to test the waters. Once the trend is truly established, then increase the position in three batches. Most people face liquidation because they go all in right away, leaving themselves with zero margin for error.

The second more counterintuitive point: never average down on a losing position.
Many people cannot do this; they always think that when the price drops, they should lower their costs. But the reality is that supplementing losing positions is just throwing new money into a pit. The real approach is to only add to profitable positions, allowing profits to generate more profits, while the principal remains locked in a safe zone.

The third point sounds simple but is the hardest to execute - trend trading.
If the market is trending up, go long; if it's trending down, go short; if it's sideways, wait and see. Don't always think about catching the bottom or the top; the market won't follow your script. Many people say the market is hard to trade, but what's really difficult is controlling their own gambling nature.

This case can turn around, and the core is just two words: restraint.
When others panic sell, he holds his position as planned; when others FOMO chase high prices, he takes profits in advance. From 2000U to 82,000, it’s not about magical indicators, but strictly following these few simple and boring rules.

To survive in the crypto market, the amount of capital is not the key; the key is whether you can control your hands. Opportunities arise every day; what is lacking is the discipline to execute.

Sounds good, but most people still can't do it. The stop loss hurdle has stumped a large number of people.

You're right, it's just the inability to control one's hands that's the problem. I've seen too many people keep adding to their losses. --- Turning 2000U into 82,000 sounds impressive, but this whole thing, to put it bluntly, is about waiting and patience. --- Following the trend is the easiest aspect to overlook; we always think we can hit the right rhythm, but in reality, the market doesn't care about you at all. --- The two words 'self-restraint' are really just meaningless talk, yet most people can't do it, including me. --- I’ve been using the method of building a position in batches; at least it prevents me from going all in and getting wiped out immediately. --- The most heartbreaking thing is "adding to losing positions is just throwing money into a pit"—how many people have fallen into this trap? --- From a psychological perspective, making money requires a method, but surviving requires discipline. Feelings are the biggest enemy. --- The account went from 2000 to 82,000; the key isn't some secret indicator, but just these few boring and tedious disciplines.

You're right, it's just that I can't control my hands. I used to be the same, when the price fell I wanted to buy more, and I chased the price too, resulting in a huge loss. Now I understand that restraint is the key.

You're right, I just can't control myself. When I see it fall, I want to buy the dip, and when I see it rise, I want to chase it, and then it's all gone.

You're right, it's about controlling your hands, and that's the most difficult part.
