#数字资产市场动态 Eight years immersed in this market, I’ve seen too many people crash within a year. And my account has long surpassed 30 million. Something quite painful—many traders hold on for over a year, yet their accounts still haven't broken a million. Instead of listening to big shots talk empty words, it’s better to learn from these lessons earned through real money.



Don’t be reckless with small funds. Under 50,000 yuan, really don’t mess around all day. Catching one main upward wave in a year is enough. The biggest test in this market isn’t how frequently you trade, but how long you can endure.

Simulated trading leaves no room for slack. You must complete at least 100 full trading cycles before calling it a day. Live trading will directly expose all your cognitive flaws, leaving no room for negotiation.

The day a major positive news is announced is often the best selling point. The next day opens high? Don’t be fooled; that’s the market setting a trap for slow responders. The principle is like tearing through a piece of paper—opportunity is in that very moment.

Clear your positions before the holiday. I’ve reviewed data from many years; those who held over 70% of their positions before the holiday, on average, retraced 23% afterward. When liquidity dries up, even the most beautiful logic can’t withstand the market’s sell-off.

For medium to long-term trading, learn to roll with the punches. Always keep 30% cash on hand, and trade within key support and resistance levels. Greedy folks who want to eat the whole fish often end up choking on the bones.

Only trade active coins in short-term. Pass on the bottom 50% in trading volume—without liquidity, you’re just flailing in dead water. Short-term trading is essentially a dance with liquidity.

The speed of decline tells you how fierce the rebound can be. Slow, downward declines are followed by long bottoming processes, but rapid crashes often lead to fierce rebounds. It’s like a thermometer of market sentiment.

Stop-loss isn’t optional; it’s an essential skill for survival. When a single loss hits 3%, you must exit immediately. The smoothness of your account curve is far more decisive for your long-term fate than any single win or loss.

Watch the 15-minute K-line, combined with the KDJ indicator. This cycle captures most intraday trading opportunities. Use larger cycles to determine direction, smaller cycles for precise entry.

Rather than knowing a little about everything, master one move thoroughly. For example, fully understand the moving average system—its effect far surpasses superficial knowledge of ten indicators. Depth always beats breadth.

These ten rules are my realizations after losing seven figures. In this zero-sum game, what truly constrains you isn’t new concepts, but your re-understanding of what you already know but haven’t paid attention to.

My trading group still has a few spots available. We focus mainly on the structural opportunities in Bitcoin and Ethereum. We won’t promise you get-rich-quick schemes, but we do offer a proven, eight-year-tested systematic profit approach—making discipline your instinct, and ensuring probability always favors you.

I have a deep understanding of clearing out before holidays. I was greedy and held 70% of my position before the holiday, only to see it break through support right after, and that wave of retracement still hurt a bit. That's right, only those who know how to cut losses truly survive, not those who go all-in every day. The saying "Don't mess around below 50,000" is very true. Small funds should patiently wait for the right opportunity, and not be reckless with daily operations, or the fees will eat up all the profits. I used the 15-minute K-line combined with KDJ for a while. It can indeed catch many intraday opportunities, but it still needs to be aligned with the overall trend. Depth wins over breadth. This phrase sounds smooth, but few people can truly stick to it. Most still want to be good at everything.

The big players with accounts of 30 million are all talking about stop-loss, while I'm still betting on the direction... This is the most heartbreaking.

That's right, but that line "How long can you endure" really hit me. I damn well itch to trade every day. What does 30 million mean? How many years will it take me to catch up? I've been burned by the holiday clearance sale before, and after the holiday, I just threw everything into the ground. The moving average system is indeed effective. I've mastered it, and it works much better than blindly trying ten different indicators. The three points for stop-loss I follow very strictly now; I'd rather earn less than lose too much. I really don't trade coins with no liquidity in the short term; describing them as dead water struggling is spot on. Let me ask, is this approach still applicable in this round of the market?

Stop-loss is really a common topic, but no one takes it seriously. Anyway, I’ve seen too many accounts die because of a 3% obsession; greed is hard to satisfy. This logic sounds right, but knowing it in theory is useless during actual trading. Discipline is essential, and that’s exactly what most people lack. I deeply understand the point about clearing positions during holidays. Only after stepping into the pit do you realize what liquidity exhaustion means. The feeling of a dead water pool with no buyers is truly terrible. Frequent trading with small funds is just asking for trouble. I played that way early on and paid the price. Only later did I understand what it means to bide your time and wait for the right moment. Have you tried the fifteen-minute K-line combined with KDJ? It looks sexy, but in practice, the signals are garbage. Moving averages are indeed more reliable than those flashy indicators, but only if you truly understand them—not just rigidly follow the textbook. The figure of 30 million is a bit questionable, but aside from that, the part about mindset and discipline is the real truth. I agree that short-term trading should only involve active coins. Niche coins are just traps; their liquidity is terrible.

The lessons learned from a seven-figure loss are worth more than a thousand lectures I realized this three years ago, but I still find it easy to be reckless To be honest, the stop-loss rule is what truly disciplines me. I used to think I could just hold on and get through it.

These eight years have truly been a revelation, but the key is still to stay alive. --- Thirty million sounds easy, but that stop-loss discipline is real; many people die because they can't let go of that three percent. --- The holiday clearance sale really hit me; I didn't clear out once before the holiday and I don't regret it. --- Tinkering below fifty thousand yuan is just paying tuition to the exchange. --- Sell on good news day—this is counterintuitive but very true; you'll understand when the market opens the next day. --- Deep understanding and broad perspective—not everyone is willing to listen. --- I remember a friend who kept struggling in stagnant water; he just didn't understand liquidity. --- The short-term dancing analogy is perfect—it's not dancing with coins, but dancing with liquidity. --- I've tried the KDJ indicator with the 15-minute chart; it's much more reliable than shooting at random. --- How many people are cut off by the threshold of a hundred trading cycles?
