#美联储启动新一轮降息周期 A brother, when we were young, everyone called him Little Qiang; now they all call him Brother Tan. With a principal of over 30,000 yuan, he managed to grow his crypto holdings to 2.46 million through sheer effort.

Not long ago, we met, and he said he's earned enough in the crypto market and plans to take some spot holdings and step back from the scene. When he's feeling motivated, he shares his insights on making money, and one sentence醒了 everyone: "It's really just about playing it safe, the crypto market doesn't lack opportunities—money is everywhere."

His statement was particularly piercing: "When prices rise, resist the urge to add more; when they fall, stay calm and don't panic sell, and the market becomes your cash machine." It sounds easy, but actually doing it is much harder. Many people rush in during market surges, and once prices drop, their mentality shatters, but Brother Tan doesn't have this problem. He has developed his own emotional management system, mastering six core principles, making steady profits truly achievable.

**First Principle: Don't rush before acting, draw three reference lines first**

No matter how hot the market is, don't rush—stay calm before entering. Draw three lines: recent three days' highs and lows, the 5-day moving average, and the breakout point for volume. During the 2021 Dogecoin frenzy, the entire community was screaming to buy in, but Brother Tan? He only invested 10% of his position to test the waters. Later, Dogecoin plummeted 30%, and those who went all-in got wiped out, but he remained steady and profitable. The standard beginner process is: find a hot coin → note the current price → draw three lines → wait for signals to align → then start with 5% of the capital.

**Second Principle: Don't panic during sideways trading, calculations are your real weapon**

BTC once traded sideways for 47 days, and everyone in the group was shouting "It's over," feeling anxious. But Brother Tan has his own rhythm. He discovered that the more panic in the community, the closer we are to the golden time for bottom-fishing—at this point, market noise is at its peak, and opportunities are most genuine.

**Third Principle: Take profits and cut losses; mindset is key**

Whenever profits exceed 30%, he immediately takes some profits; the rest he holds to see how it develops. He never procrastinates because he knows that a correction can instantly wipe out unrealized gains.

**Fourth Principle: Control the rhythm, control your emotions**

While others panic, Tan remains calm; while others greed, he stays steady. This is the fundamental difference between a master and retail investors—whether they can manage their own rhythm.

**Fifth Principle: Understand the big trend, then wait patiently**

Don’t always try to catch every market wave. Wait until the overall direction is clear, then make decisive moves. This approach results in higher efficiency.

**Sixth Principle: Precise stop-loss and take-profit**

Set two exit points in advance; once reached, act decisively without hesitation.

Top traders in the crypto world are often not those with the flashiest tech skills but those who can suppress greed and manage their rhythm well. With a stable mindset, the market becomes a cash machine.

This market can’t be sustained by one person alone. The fluctuation patterns of top-tier cryptocurrencies and the market’s cycles are worth studying. If you want to find a relatively safe path, this methodology is worth trying.
