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.

Every day, I hear people boasting about earning 3-10% daily, but I haven't seen many truly stable withdrawals... Listening to these words, I still feel that stability doesn't really exist in the crypto world. The snake analogy is pretty good, but in the end, most snakes still end up as someone else's lunch. The layered entry strategy is okay, but the key is that most people simply can't control their own hands. If you can't hold your full position, then forget about long-term strategies; just be honest and trade swing positions. No one can predict the bull and bear transitions? Then how do you know if you're at the end of a decline or the beginning of an uptrend? This theory sounds good, but very few people can actually implement it. You need to use both legs, but the prerequisite is that you have two usable legs, not two feet.

Sounds nice, "steady profit" and "3 to 10 points daily," but it sounds like the perspective on taking profits isn't quite right, haha.

3 to 10 points a day? Bro, that's a pretty absolute statement. Who in the crypto world hasn't heard of such promises? --- The snake analogy is quite fitting, but in the end, most people are the ones being eaten. --- Holding a full position and sticking to it? Uh... I'm still chicken and can't sleep well. --- Entering in 3 layers sounds good, but I'm just worried that when it comes to execution, I'll go all-in at once. --- The problem is, how do you know whether you're at the end or middle of a decline? Only hindsight is 20/20. --- Short-term fluctuations for trading, long-term for trend holding. It's easy to say, but in practice, you'll lose on both ends. --- I've heard this theory in several versions, but ultimately, it depends on individual execution ability. --- If someone can precisely grasp buy and sell points, they would have achieved financial freedom long ago and wouldn't be posting here. --- The idea that risk is controllable depends on how bearish the bear market is. When the time comes, any strategy will be useless.

There's nothing wrong with that; the key still lies in mindset and execution. Most people fail due to frequent trading. --- I also use the tactic of entering in three batches at different levels; it indeed reduces the psychological pressure compared to all-in. --- That snake analogy is excellent. In the crypto world, ultimately, ability determines everything—there are no shortcuts. --- 3 to 10 points daily? Sounds simple, but how many can stick with it... --- Short-term trading for volatility, long-term holding for trends. It's said to be easy to start but really difficult to master—tests human nature. --- The biggest risk is holding a full position and sticking to it; one black swan event can wipe you out. Diversifying positions is indeed more prudent. --- As for judging high and low points, I don't believe anyone can be accurate—just bragging. --- Timing the entry at the end of a decline really requires experience; beginners are prone to missing the bottom or getting caught holding the bag.

Exactly right, but the execution is difficult. How many can truly stick to layered entry?

Ha, it's the story of earning 3 to 10 points every day again. How many times have I heard it? Sticking to a method is not wrong, but how many people can really stick to it? Most people start to mess around after less than a week. The analogy of two legs is fine, but most people have both legs crippled and are still arguing about which one is longer. I agree with the idea of entering in 3 layers, but the problem is that 99% of people can't do it. The most common approach is always full position and gambling everything at once.

Another story of earning 3-10 points daily, brother, I'm tired of hearing it... --- Layered entry strategy is indeed reliable, but no one can really execute it --- The snake analogy is interesting, but honestly, most people are destined to be eaten by the snake --- Earning so much every day? Then why not go to the exchange to claim your prize, huh --- The two-legged analogy is okay, but most people's legs are already broken --- It's easy to say, but the real challenge is mindset and execution ability --- This logic sounds flawless, but the market never follows the rules --- I like this honest approach, not pretending to be a master --- I agree with the three-layer entry strategy, similar to the one I use --- The problem is, how many people can really judge the end of a decline... just self-deception

Always talking about stable profits of 3-10% daily, I've heard this set of words a hundred times... Layered entry is indeed correct, but most people simply can't do it; the majority still go all-in at once. The snake analogy is pretty spot on; frankly, it's all about the difference in mentality and execution. Holding a full position and failing to protect it is truly the most common way to die in the crypto world.

It's all just tricks. No matter how eloquently it's said, it all boils down to "risk control." The key is whether you can actually follow through.

It's the same routine again, making 3 to 10 points every day. I just want to ask how many people can really stick with it. The layered entry approach is not bad, but it depends on whether you can build your mental resilience. Short-term bottom fishing and long-term trend capturing sound simple, but actually executing them is a whole different story. I will never do full position trading again. Saying there are no secrets is just about discipline and stop-loss. I like the snake analogy; everyone indeed returns to their own position. Everything in this article is correct, but for someone like me who has itchy hands, it's not very useful.
