Dear fans and friends:

I'm back, and now I want to share my eight years of industry experience with everyone!
First of all, the current crypto market is completely different from the playstyle after the 2021 bull run (contracts). We are now in a mature stage where artificial intelligence and big data are integrated. Major exchanges are continuously upgrading and expanding with the latest algorithms! The first priority is to ensure the exchange won't incur losses before seeking ways to increase profits! It's similar to corporate development—there's always room for breakthroughs!
If you encounter any of the following situations or all of them, I suggest you stop and finish reading before operating!
First: The market seems to be moving sideways, but as soon as you open a position, volatility appears. Rarely do you see huge profits immediately reaching your target! Most of the time, you're just floating with a slight loss after opening the position!
Second: After getting caught, you realize that within a few minutes, the slight floating loss starts to grow, though not enough to liquidate your position. The loss might be around 5 points. After a few minutes or an hour, the price oscillates back near your entry point or slightly in profit. At this point, you think about adjusting your position. Most people won't choose to close a little to reduce risk; instead, they change direction again, and the floating loss continues!
Third: After toughing out a losing position and finally making a profit, you grit your teeth as the price keeps oscillating in a small profit zone, not giving you a big move. But as soon as you close to realize profit, the market suddenly drops, forcing you to sell prematurely! If you don't sell, the price may go down further or stay stagnant. If you sell, it might go up afterward! Regret for selling too early!
Fourth: When a big trend arrives, you jump in and find the price continues to drop or rise in that same direction. You get caught again, oscillate for a while, and start floating in loss until you hit stop-loss or get liquidated, losing your profits!
If you've experienced these situations, don't say it's bad luck! Don't blame yourself for not being firm enough or not holding the position when the trend appears. Remember, the main issue isn't you—it's the backend mechanism!
Reason explanation: When a user registers an account, all data—account balance, opening price, maximum margin before liquidation—can be instantly calculated. Don't doubt it; this can be done in seconds for any current exchange!
Why do these four common phenomena occur? Because the moment you open a position, the exchange automatically triggers a warning, analyzes your data, and before analysis is complete, your position is already being 'trapped.' So, you'll see a slight floating loss initially. After being trapped, your position info is integrated into the big data of all open contracts, analyzing the ratio of longs and shorts, calculating at which price levels the platform maximizes profit while minimizing losses. If a rise causes liquidation of shorts and benefits longs, or if traders and funds push upward, then suddenly the price drops after taking some shorts, preventing profits from escaping—this is the real logic behind the common 'pinning' and 'price stagnation' phenomena!
How to solve this? Or how to find stability in data?
If you're willing to learn humbly, continue; otherwise, unfollow and leave!
The trigger mechanism for opening positions is unavoidable for every user. Once you open a position, the big data will instantly include your position into the database for analysis. The only way to mitigate liquidation risk is to adopt a defensive strategy. The platform compares long and short data—for example, for Ethereum—analyzing only within 50, 100, or even 300 points above and below the current price because beyond that, data becomes less accurate. Many traders adjust from long to short or vice versa, stop-loss, or reverse positions. So, the platform mainly considers data within 50 points up and down. When your margin is far from the liquidation point, even if your direction is wrong, as long as your margin remains, you won't be liquidated. Even if large traders absorb some longs, it prevents shorts from profiting and pulling back, maintaining a balance. When your position hits a profitable point, it's time to take profits. If your initial direction was correct and the profit is small, you should exit—don't fear selling early because taking profits is also earning. Large traders will also prevent the opponent from escaping with profits after absorbing some positions. That's why I emphasize that the entry point and direction are not crucial; what's important is not to risk more than 20% of your capital and to use small leverage. With enough margin, you can ignore the liquidation price set by the big traders. For example, if the liquidation price is $1, they won't bother with your liquidation level. Of course, this is an extreme scenario—your margin must be large enough, or your position size should not exceed 20% of your capital. This helps avoid frequent liquidation events and cultivates good trading habits. Otherwise, I advise you to exit contracts because it's impossible to analyze such large data accurately!
Second, if the market moves against you and the price can't bounce back, how to solve the liquidation problem? Many traders don't know how to operate. They only know to hedge first to protect principal. During my research in the US, top traders avoid simple hedging; they use various methods, such as hedging with other mainstream currencies. The amount of hedge used is based on algorithms—how many pairs to hedge, how to lower the average opening price, how to minimize stop-loss on hedge orders, etc. There are professional algorithms for all this! I can't explain everything here; I plan to post a dedicated article in the future for everyone to learn!
Finally, when the trend is correct, when should you reduce your position? By how much? How many times? How to properly move the stop-profit to lock in profits? There are also standard algorithms for this. Increasing positions isn't necessarily when you're losing; it might be appropriate when you're in profit to reduce risk. Sometimes, adding to a position while in profit is also strategic. These questions can't be answered in a few words—I'll also post a separate article later!
I'm not a perfect trader myself, but my annual trading data remains positive, and I haven't used my capital on contracts for a long time. I've been trading with profits only. Once you understand the reasons behind what I just explained, you'll truly start to become a qualified trader!
These strategies are very suitable for sideways trading ranges. My highest success rate is 89 consecutive wins in sideways market operations with zero failures—my current record!
Finally, I want to remind all fans: say it three times, say it three times, say it three times!
Never open a position exceeding 20% of your capital, and leverage should not exceed 8 to 20 times! This isn't tied to your capital—just open proportionally. This way, you'll have enough risk buffer against manipulation by big traders. Even if you're wrong, you have multiple chances for a rebound using your own funds! Whether adding positions to lower the entry price or hedging, you need extra available funds to operate.
For beginners, I suggest saving at least $1,000 and using this strategy one-to-one. I guarantee you'll thank me later.
Avoid imitation coins—avoid imitation coins—avoid imitation coins. With hundreds of thousands, you can manipulate a scam coin at will!
You can use other mainstream coins for hedging, such as ADA, SOL, DOGE, and other major altcoins.
Don't eat orders when opening or closing positions—use limit orders. Fees vary!
Anyone who wants to criticize me is welcome!
