#美联储降息 In crypto asset trading, there's an old saying: "Hanging on for ten years is less effective than riding the trend for ten days." This is not just motivational talk, but a logical conclusion validated by increasing numbers of traders in the current leverage trading environment—it's not about predicting the market precisely, but about how to stay "lazy" enough during the trend to avoid turning trading into gambling.

Observing friends who trade trend-following strategies, you'll notice that beginners most often make the mistake of rushing in heavily at the start—adding to positions when losing, and frantically increasing positions when winning—resulting in more frequent trades and larger losses. The opposite approach is actually quite simple—only add to winning positions using floating profits, stick firmly to stop-loss rules, and keep leverage within 3x.

**Step 1: Structured Capital Allocation**
Divide your initial capital into two parts. Suppose you start with 10,000, with 5,000 placed in a safe account as a "buffer," which remains untouched. The remaining 5,000 is your trading capital. Even if the platform allows higher leverage, only open 10% positions; the actual risk level is similar to a conservative allocation. Set a strict stop-loss at 2%, meaning a worst-case loss of 100 dollars, which is only 1% of your total capital—well below the platform’s warning threshold.

**Step 2: Only Pursue "Certain" Opportunities**
Last May, a mainstream asset fell for three consecutive days and showed panic signals—this was the entry point. After three weeks, when the price reached the preset target, take profits, netting 35,000. The threshold for trend-following isn't about talent but about making your capital solid first. As your risk resistance improves, the "snowball" effect becomes more enjoyable.

**Step 3: Always Use Profits to Roll Over**
After a popular asset consolidates for 38 days, trading volume suddenly surges by 30% and breaks previous highs—this is the signal to build a position, using 2x leverage. When the price rises by 10%, move your stop-loss to break-even; if it rises another 10%, add to your position using floating profits, keeping leverage at or below 3x. If all goes well, two rounds of this strategy can generate substantial returns.

**Four Deadly Rules, No Exceptions**

1. Set a stop-loss before entering—never change it, no matter how tempting the market looks.
2. When profits reach 30%, immediately take out 20% to your safe account to lock in gains.
3. After two consecutive losing trades, stop trading for 48 hours to review.
4. If monthly losses exceed 10% of your capital, halt all trading for the month.

Recently, market volatility has indeed narrowed, and simply hanging on is unlikely to yield big profits. The key is how to use leverage tools reasonably. Leverage itself isn't scary; chaos in operation is. Proper risk segmentation and trading only at high-confidence moments—being "lazy"—can actually help your account grow steadily. During the Fed's rate cut cycle, managing risk isolation and position sizing allows small funds to find their rhythm.
