#美SEC促进加密资产创新监管框架 After years of grinding in this market, I have neither insider information nor do I rely on luck to go all-in—I just stick to a strategy I’ve personally validated. These experiences aren’t some secret tricks, but they’ve definitely helped me survive, and even thrive.



Let’s talk about money management first. Many people go all-in right from the start, which is basically suicide. My approach is simple: split your principal into five parts, only use one part at a time, and never lose more than 10% on a single trade. That means your total loss stays within 2%. Do the math—even if you’re wrong five times in a row, you only lose 10%. But as long as you catch one big trend, those losses can be wiped out instantly. Stay steady, don’t get reckless, and you’ll give compounding a chance to work.

Now, about trends. Feel the urge to catch the bottom when prices are falling? Chances are you’re trying to catch a falling knife. Jump to take profits when it starts rising? Looking back, you might realize it was just taking off. Patience is really important—don’t fight the market.

See a coin skyrocket and get jealous? Stay calm. Whether it’s a blue chip or a meme coin, if something’s pumped too much in the short term, chances are it’s a trap for latecomers. If you can avoid chasing pumps, you’re already ahead of half the people.

I use technical indicators, but I’m not superstitious about them. MACD is pretty reliable: when the DIF and DEA golden cross upward below the zero line, it’s usually a good time to enter; when they dead cross downward above the zero line, it’s time to reduce your position. Another iron rule—never average down on a losing trade, only add when you’re already winning. This can save you from countless emotional trades.

Trading volume is like the market’s heartbeat. A breakout with high volume at the bottom often means a trend is about to start. I watch the 3-day, 30-day, 84-day, and 120-day moving averages to see if they’re all turning upward at the same time. If the trend isn’t confirmed, I won’t touch it, no matter how tempting it looks.

Finally, review your trades. After each trade, ask yourself three questions: What was my reason for buying? Where did I get it wrong? Has the weekly trend changed? The truly successful ones don’t make money by predicting the future, but by constantly refining themselves through reviews.

This approach may look ordinary, but very few people actually stick with it. The market is never short on opportunities, but what’s really lacking are people who can stay calm amidst the hype and keep their rhythm in the noise. $BTC $ETH Every fluctuation of these blue chips proves this point.

Hey, I'm also using the quintile method, it does help survive longer. But I still can't help chasing the highs, oh well. --- All-in traders are gamblers, I've heard plenty of horror stories, better to keep some ammo. --- You're right about reviewing trades, but I rarely do it myself—just go with my gut, haven't lost much anyway, haha. --- Not believing in indicators but still staring at moving averages, that's a bit contradictory, bro. --- Controlling your impulses is really the hardest part. Every time I say I won't chase the highs, but once it rises, I break my own rule. --- I did jot down the point about high volume at the bottom, will try it next time. --- Good advice about not averaging down when losing, but honestly, nobody can actually do it. --- Reading this post makes me regret going all-in, what should I do now?

nah this is just position sizing with extra steps, learned the hard way after liquidating my entire stack on one bad trade... 5 tranches actually makes sense though, technically speaking

That's harsh, but it's true—I just couldn't stick to this discipline, and every time I get slapped in the face. --- How are the all-in people doing now? Take a guess. --- Reviewing trades sounds simple, but why is it so hard to actually do? --- I've tried the low-volume breakout move, but the knife is always waiting for me there. --- I've heard "don't chase the top" a hundred times, but I still get itchy hands. --- I watch the MACD golden cross too, but the market always manages to fool my eyes. --- The ones who really make money are never the predictors, but the ones who review and reflect. --- Controlling myself and not chasing is practically a form of self-cultivation. --- The five-position rule sounds comfortable, but sticking to it is torture. --- The market never lacks opportunities; what it lacks are people who can endure after being blown up.

Oh my god, isn’t this basically saying “don’t be reckless”? Yet there are always people who just won’t listen. That five-position strategy is really solid—only losing 10% after five consecutive mistakes. This mindset is the complete opposite of a gambler’s mentality. I really relate to the “don’t chase highs” rule. It’s the hardest when you see others making money, but the moment you can’t resist, you’re basically handing your money over to the big players. The part about reviewing trades really struck a chord with me. I’m often a backseat driver after the fact—only realizing how foolish I was when I look back.
