#ETH巨鲸扩大持仓 Three years ago, I entered the market with 20,000 yuan in New Year's money, and now I dare to quit my job without backup.
It's not about getting rich quickly, it's about finally learning how to "live" this thing. Many people think that the cryptocurrency world is a casino, but it's not — gamblers rely on luck, while traders rely on systems.
The tuition fees I've paid over the past three years could buy a second-hand car. Liquidations, breaking even, small profits; after going through it all, I finally understand: the ones who can truly survive are not those ruthless people chasing hundredfold coins, but those foolish ones who engrave discipline into their bones.
**First, let's talk about how not to die**
The principal must be diversified. I split the money into five portions and only use one portion to enter each time. If the 10% loss line is touched, I cut it without any hesitation. Even if I make five mistakes, I will only lose 10% of the total capital, leaving room for recovery. If I make a profit of more than 10%, I will take the money. The profit can be used for risk, but the principal must stay at home and rest.
This is not being timid; it's the prerequisite for surviving until the next bull market.
**Trends are smarter than you**
Buying the dip when the price drops? That's called catching a falling knife. Where is the real buying point? It's during the pullback in an uptrend. Right now, I'm only looking at one indicator: the 20-day moving average on the daily chart. Only go long above the line, only go short below the line, and if it's sideways, just close the software and go for a walk.
Get on the elevator when it's going up, don't wait for it to come down before you climb the stairs.
**Coins that are skyrocketing, don't even touch them**
A cryptocurrency that increases fivefold in three days? Unless you watch the market 24 hours a day, that’s not an opportunity; it’s a trap. What are the major players doing when the price is consolidating at a high level? They are placing sell orders waiting for you to take the bait. Missing out on a surge won’t cost you money; chasing it will.
**Don't be greedy with indicators**
Use MACD to look at trends, RSI to check for overbought and oversold conditions, and VPVR to find support and resistance levels—these three are enough. I used to have seven or eight indicators on my screen, but now I've deleted them all. The cleaner the interface, the quicker the decision-making.
**Never increase your position when you're at a loss**
This is the cause of death for 90% of retail investors. They buy more when the price drops, and then buy even more as it drops further, ultimately ending up deeply trapped. My principle is the opposite: cut losses on wrong trades and only add to winning trades. When making a profit, adding to the position in line with the trend is called compounding; adding to a position while losing is called giving away money.
**The relationship between volume and price does not lie.**
After a sudden increase in volume following a low volume period? The market may have started. High volume but price remains unchanged? The main force is unloading, better run quickly. K-line can be misleading, but trading volume is built from real money, this cannot be faked.
**Review three questions every day**
Write three lines after the market closes: Why buy? Why sell? How to change next time?
Stick to it for a month, and your progress rate can double. I still have the review records from three years ago, and looking back at them, those operations that I thought were so clever back then seem like a joke.
There are indeed no myths in the crypto world, but there are probabilities and discipline. Keep emotions in a cage, let the system make decisions for you, and time will naturally provide the answers.
$BTC The fluctuations of these mainstream coins are enough for you to practice, stop always thinking about catching some hundred times altcoins.

No matter how nice it sounds, it's still gambling; it's just that when more people gamble, it's called a trading system, haha.

It's easy to talk tough, but it's really about fear of death. A true gambler would have already gone all in.

Well said, discipline is truly the last moat. I only understood this principle after losing to the point of questioning my life.

Discipline sounds simple when you talk about it, but truly embodying it is a skill. I admire this guy's habit of reviewing his performance.

Really, discipline sounds clichéd but it's so effective. I'm currently just sticking to the 20-day trap, turning off all other indicators.
