Many people ask me how to maintain consistent profits in the crypto space. Actually, there’s no big secret. I’m not an expert, just an ordinary retail investor. The real difference is—others overlook certain methods, while I take them seriously. If you learn and persist in using them, you can basically earn an extra 3 to 10 points every day. It’s that simple.

Whether it’s short-term or long-term, this is a debate that never ends in the crypto world. But I think you’re asking the wrong question. Trading is like cultivation—win or lose, it’s equally fair to everyone. To use a snake game analogy—at the start, all retail investors are at roughly the same level; in the end, you either eat others or are eaten, depending entirely on your ability. Ultimately, everyone will return to the position they’re supposed to be in.

Short-term and long-term are actually like a person’s two legs—they both need to be there. If you really want to say which is more profitable? Theoretically, a bull market favors long-term holding, but can you really judge the high and low points? Can you hold your full position and stick to it? In a bear market, short-term trading has lower risk, but can you precisely grasp each buy and sell point? Discussing these questions alone reveals flaws because no one can fully predict the transition between bull and bear markets.

My advice is this—when the market’s overall assessment indicates it’s at the end of a decline or the beginning of an uptrend, consider deploying long-term positions. As for the specific ratio, use the amount of capital you can afford to lose. I personally prefer to enter in about three layers of positions, so you stay engaged and the risk remains manageable. The key is not to pile all your chips together, leaving some room for yourself. Use short-term strategies to find bottoms and ride volatility, and long-term strategies to catch trends. The combination of both will be much more effective.
