Don't remind me again today

To be honest, when I entered the market with 20,000 yuan 10 years ago, I never thought I would make it to today. Back then, I lived in a basement, staring at Candlestick charts every day, while everyone around me thought I was crazy.



I have no talent, don't know any big shots, and I certainly don't have the guts to gamble on luck. I just stubbornly stuck to a set of clumsy methods, and looking back now, they really worked. I'm sharing this; I can't say it will make anyone rich, but at least it can help avoid some pitfalls.

**First, let's talk about how to manage money**
I have a strict rule: divide the money into 5 parts and only move 1 part each time. If a single trade loses 10%, I cut my losses, which means my total assets can only lose a maximum of 2%. Even if I make five consecutive mistakes, I'll only lose 10%, but if I catch a big market wave, I can earn back all previous losses. Slow is fast; this saying is really not empty.

**Don't go against the trend**
I don't catch the bottom when it falls – that's likely a knife. I also don't rush to run when it rises – it might just be the beginning. It's a hundred times better to patiently wait for clear signals than to guess blindly.

**The skyrocketing coins are not worth touching**
Whether it's mainstream coins or small coins, I don't pay attention to those that have skyrocketed in the short term. It's normal to buy the dip after a surge; making a profit is the exception. Just being able to hold back while watching others profit means you've already won half the battle.

**Indicators can be used but don't be superstitious**
I often look at MACD: when DIF and DEA cross above the zero line, it's usually a good time to enter; when they cross below the zero line, it's time to reduce positions. Another rule: do not add money to losing positions, only add to winning ones. This can prevent 90% of emotional trading.

**Volume doesn't lie**
A breakthrough on high volume at a low level is often a signal for the start of a trend. I focus on the 3-day, 30-day, 84-day, and 120-day moving averages, and only take action when several lines have turned upward, avoiding chasing hot spots or indulging in fantasies.

**Reviewing is more important than predicting**
After each trade, I have to ask myself: Why did I buy? Where did I go wrong? Has the weekly chart changed?
Real profit comes not from guessing, but from repeatedly analyzing and improving skills.

This set of things looks unremarkable, but few people actually accomplish it. The market will reward those who are disciplined, especially those who can remain steady when others are panicking and maintain calm amidst the chaos.

the risk management framework here is basically a position-sizing primitive... 5 equal tranches with 10% hard stops? that's just optimizing your liquidation threshold through composability. but yeah, the execution layer matters more than the theory - most ppl know this stuff, they just can't hold the line when emotions are running high. discipline is the rarest token in this space, ngl.

Well, according to the database, this gentleman's 20,000 from 10 years ago is still "appreciating" today, with the first extension notice, and the project party's pie is still being baked...

The part about eating steamed buns in the basement is really incredible; there aren't any pure people like that in the crypto world anymore. I've tried everything you've said, and the stop loss has indeed saved me several times. Going in below the MACD golden cross pattern sounds simple, but when faced with the market, it's still easy to get shaky. When others are catching a falling knife at the peak, to be honest, that's the hardest part. Reviewing trades is the real skill; I used to buy blindly. This discipline sounds boring, but it really is the most stable way to make money. The idea of only moving 1 out of 5 positions is brilliant; I need to revise my Position management according to that.

Living in the basement and gnawing on steamed buns was truly incredible, and looking back now, it was worth it. In the end, it's all about discipline; everything else is just nonsense. Over the past 10 years, I've seen it all; the greedy have all died before the big pump. I have deep experience with stop loss; I suffered too many Rekt in my early years. The key is to review your trades; most people are simply unwilling to see where they went wrong. I often use the signal of higher trade volumes at low levels, it's more accurate than anything else. Being able to remain calm when others are going crazy is the essence of making money, right? Watching others make money and being able to resist it really requires mental toughness; it's easy to say but super hard to do. I've been using the strategy of only moving 1 out of 5 parts for several years, and it really helps you survive longer. I'm also using the MACD death cross to reduce position; although it's tedious, it’s effective.
