#美国证券交易委员会推进数字资产监管框架创新 From nothing to assets worth tens of millions, my eight years of trading experience in cryptocurrencies have taught me some truths. If you've been struggling to stay above the million mark after a year in the market, consider these lessons—earned through blood, sweat, and tears.



First, don't trade frequently when your capital is limited. Catch one major upward wave per year; that's enough. Why bother with daily tinkering? Be patient and wait for the trend; eating well in one go is far better than busying yourself all year.

Before starting, practice with a demo account. Failures can be repeated endlessly, but real money accounts can't withstand multiple big mistakes. Understanding and mindset come before capital management.

A big gap-up on the second day after major positive news? That's usually the best time to sell. Good news often comes with bad news; those greedy for the last bite are most likely to get trapped. Learn to realize profits in time—that's true skill.

Reduce your holdings a week before major festivals. History shows that pre-holiday periods tend to have selling pressure. Staying in cash or light positions during holidays can help you avoid many unexpected declines.

Medium- and long-term trading requires action. Always keep some cash on hand, sell some at highs, buy back during dips, and keep your positions flexible to survive longer.

Short-term trading is simple: watch volume and candlestick patterns. Focus on coins with high volatility and active trading; dull coins are not worth the effort.

The speed of decline determines the strength of the rebound. Slow drops lead to slow rebounds; sharp drops often result in fierce rebounds. Recognize this rhythm and avoid blindly bottom-fishing during slow declines.

Cut losing trades immediately. Never hold on to a losing position stubbornly; stop-loss is life-saving. Protect your capital so you can stay in the game.

Use 15-minute K-line charts combined with the KDJ indicator to find buy and sell points. Short-term trading doesn't need to be overly complicated. Identify key levels on small cycles, and buy/sell signals will be clear.

One last point: mastering two or three methods is enough. There are thousands of technical indicators, but too many only cause confusion. Instead of learning every indicator, perfect one or two logical systems to mastery.

Again with this set of excuses, I've already suffered losses from favourable information dumping, and now I just can't be greedy anymore. Damn, stop loss really is a lifesaver, those days without a stop loss made my mentality explode every day. The days without cash in hand are the hardest to endure, I can't even move, it feels like I'm trapped. Does KDJ with 15 minutes really work? I've tried it a few times and still crashed, haha. Mastering two or three? Dude, that's too easy to say, I'm still in the exploration stage. I agree with reducing position before the holiday, I lost a lot last year during the holiday, this year I've learned my lesson. Coins with large fluctuations are indeed good to operate, but the risks are also high, gotta watch my mentality. Is catching one main rise in a year enough? I feel like I'll miss a lot of opportunities this way.

Good news runs away the next day, I agree with that, but when the time comes, everyone wants to make that last profit. Managing your mindset is probably the hardest part. Making millions in eight years is indeed impressive, but how many people are still in the game during this bear market? I have to deduct points for saying "practice on a demo account." Market mentality is completely different; you can't learn the feeling of real money loss from a demo account. Everyone understands the theory of stop-loss, but when it comes to execution, eight out of ten can't hold on. And then it just gets trapped, and so on. Is adding 15-minute K-line to KDJ enough? It still depends on personal experience. The fewer indicators, the easier it is to deceive yourself.

It's the same old story again... But indeed, the point about stop-losses is quite right; saving your life is the most important.

It's the same old story, I've heard it a hundred times. If it were that simple, I would have been earning ten thousand a month long ago. Positive news the next day to sell off? I remember last time doing that directly got slapped in the face by a sharp rise. There's nothing wrong with stop-loss to save your life, but the thing is, there's always a rebound when stopping loss, and after the rebound, people chase the high again, cycle after cycle. Why always wait until before the holiday to reduce positions? Sometimes the market is even more fierce during and after the holiday.

Sounds reasonable, but I still believe that buying the dip is the ultimate strategy. Wait, assets worth millions? That must be the bottom of the bear market. Sell on the rebound, this is the eternal truth. Don't be blinded by positive news.

The words are correct, but 99% of the people hearing this will still lose money. Wait, is the good news about selling on the second day? I remember last time I got trapped there. Mastering two or three is enough, but the problem is I haven't really figured out even one. Bro, you've probably only encountered one big cycle in these eight years. Can the current new environment be the same? Stop-loss sounds simple, but when you're truly losing money, you just can't bring yourself to act.
