Having experienced the ups and downs of the crypto market for eight years and gone through countless lessons, I have gradually developed a set of effective trading strategies. Today, I decide to organize these insider insights in hopes of helping you avoid detours.



**The Correct Approach for Small Funds**
If your starting capital is within 200,000, frequent trading often leads to self-sabotage. Instead of watching the market every day, focus on executing one major upward wave well. Always remember one principle: don't invest all your chips at once; leave enough room for adjustments. This way, you can better handle market volatility.

**Cognitive Ceiling**
Your earning potential is limited by your cognitive boundaries. Before entering the market, practice repeatedly on a demo account. Simulations allow unlimited trial and error, but a single real account margin call could mean losing the chance to start over. Cultivating the right mindset and courage is far more valuable than rushing to make money.

**Positive News as a Signal to Exit**
Once major positive news is released, if you haven't sold off your holdings that day, you should decisively sell when the market opens high the next day. This rule has been proven time and again—when positive news is fully realized, it often marks the beginning of a correction. Greed here can lead to severe losses.

**Risk Avoidance Before Holidays**
One week before major holidays, it’s advisable to proactively reduce or even clear your positions. Historical data repeatedly shows that the probability of a price correction during holidays significantly increases. Avoiding this in advance helps preserve your profits.

**Medium to Long-Term Rolling Strategy**
Always keep cash reserves on hand, employing a flexible approach of "gradually reducing holdings at high levels and adding on dips." Don't stubbornly hold onto your chips; sell when necessary and buy more when appropriate. This ensures continuous profits rather than getting trapped.

**Focus on Active Assets for Short-Term Trading**
If you're trading short-term, focus on coins with high trading volume and clear candlestick patterns. Avoid assets with low liquidity and long-term stagnation, no matter how tempting—they'll only waste your time and capital.

**Grasping Market Rhythm**
If the decline slows down, rebounds tend to be gentle; but if the decline accelerates, rebounds are usually fierce. Understanding this rhythm allows you to more accurately judge buy and sell points.

**Stop-Loss is Life-Saving**
If you make a wrong move, accept the loss. This isn't failure—it's a fundamental skill for surviving long-term in the crypto market. Holding on stubbornly can cause permanent damage, while stop-loss preserves your ability to continue participating.

**Short-Term Trading Tips**
For short-term operations, closely monitor 15-minute candlestick charts, combined with technical indicators like KDJ. This can significantly improve your win rate. Attention to detail and patience are especially important in short-term trading.

**Master One Strategy Better Than Many**
Trading methods are not about having as many as possible; the key is to deeply master a few techniques that truly suit you. Superficial knowledge leads to choice paralysis, while focusing on one approach provides more stability.

Most people who lose money are not because they lack intelligence, but because they blindly explore in the dark. Since you've been through these pitfalls, consider lighting a lamp for others. Market opportunities are always brewing, but wandering blindly will only accelerate failure. Use these rules, and you too can find your way out of difficulties.

Another "eight-year veteran's" journey, it indeed sounds quite insightful. I have a deep understanding of the positive news about fleeing; how many people have fallen prey to greed. But honestly, most people simply can't stick to that discipline.

Good news about selling off, I've fallen into this trap too many times, greed really will kill you --- It's easy to say, but you really need to be burned twice in real trading to understand --- I now use the tactic of clearing out positions before the holiday, it really saves effort --- The difference between simulated trading and real trading is very real; mindset is worlds apart --- Mastering one set of skills > being proficient in everything; this phrase should be engraved in my mind --- Talking about stop-loss and giving up is easy, but only a few can truly do it --- Using 15-minute K-line with KDJ, relying on this for short-term trading is indeed much more stable --- Reducing holdings at high positions and adding at low positions, in plain terms, it's contrarian thinking, most people can't do it --- It took eight years to understand these, I’ve only been trading for two years and am still in the dark

Honestly, I've fallen into too many traps with the good news about dumping. Greed really can kill you. --- I agree with clearing out before the holiday; during the break, what's the point of messing around since you can't even watch the market. --- Mastering a single set of skills is more valuable than being mediocre at everything. I just wanted to try everything, and in the end, I didn't make any profit. --- Eight years of experience have taught me a lot, but unfortunately, most people still end up losing money after reading about it. --- There's nothing wrong with stop-loss to protect your life, but it's just hard to pull the trigger. --- Don't take simulated trading too seriously; the mindset in real trading is a whole different story.

Good news for selling, must sell in two days, this rule is really perfect. --- Frequent trading is suicide, it's high time to recognize that. --- Stop-loss to save your life really hits home; only after enduring too many times do you understand. --- Practicing on a simulated account for a long time is useless; real trading is the true test. --- I strongly agree with clearing out before the holiday; lessons learned the hard way. --- Only active assets are worth watching; avoid holding stagnant coins. --- There's no fault in talking about the cognitive ceiling; it really is like that. --- Watching the 15-minute K-line all the time is better than reckless operations. --- Focusing on one set of methods is much more reliable than learning a little of everything. --- Reducing holdings at high levels and adding at low levels sounds simple but is hard to do. --- Eight years of experience worth listening to. --- Don't trade every day within 200,000; this advice was a revelation to me.

A bullish signal is a sign of distribution, and I have experienced this firsthand many times. --- Eight years already. Looking at your summary, I am even more convinced that stop-loss really saves lives. --- That's right, most people simply can't do it, including myself. --- Mastering a set of skills really hit the mark. I used to want to try everything, and as a result, I lost everything. --- I learned my lesson this year by clearing out before the holiday. A price correction during the holiday is really a common occurrence. --- Cash reserves must be kept sufficient; otherwise, you can't add positions at low levels. I’ve jumped over this pit many times before understanding it. --- Using 15-minute K-line charts combined with KDJ, I feel this combo still works somewhat, at least increasing the win rate. --- The part about cognitive ceiling is the most heartbreaking; some people just can't break through no matter what. --- Frequent trading really is just draining yourself. Now I’d rather miss out than make reckless moves.
