#Strategy加仓BTC Trading insights after eight years: From debt to some success, the biggest takeaway is not how much you earn, but understanding the market’s temperament.
Honestly, many people lose not because of poor skills, but because of slightly bad mindset and discipline. For a capital of under 200,000, my advice is to seriously focus on one major upward wave per year and avoid daily tinkering. Be patient and wait for the trend; eating well in one go is much better than busying yourself all year. But the prerequisite is—practice enough in a demo account first, because one big mistake in real trading can get you kicked out.
For coins like $SATS, $BTC, as long as you see the direction clearly, the key is execution. Major positive news appears? The next day’s gap up is often a sign of distribution; don’t greed for the last bit. Also, reduce positions in the week before holidays; historical patterns show that holidays often bring selling pressure, and staying out of the market can help you avoid many unexpected drops.
Experienced traders always keep cash on hand. When the market is good, sell high; when it dips, buy back in. Keep your positions active. For short-term trading, don’t overcomplicate things—volume and chart patterns are enough. Focus on coins with big swings; no volatility and volume mean no point watching. Use 15-minute K-line charts combined with KDJ to find buy and sell points. Once the rhythm is clear, the buy and sell signals will naturally appear.
The speed of decline determines the strength of the rebound; this rule never lies. Slow declines lead to slow rebounds, sharp drops often lead to strong rebounds. Don’t bottom fish during slow declines. One last thing—admit mistakes and cut losses; stop-loss to protect your life. Never hold on to a losing position stubbornly; preserving your capital is the only way to stay in the game.

That's right, it's just a small difference in execution and mindset that makes all the difference. I'm gradually understanding this now. I used to hustle every day, but in the end, after a year, I didn't even make more than the fees.

Eight years, now that's the truth. Saying there's a main upward wave once a year is a bit too absolute, but it's definitely much better than my previous obsession with watching the charts every day.

Mindset and discipline are indeed the threshold; I have fallen for this trap before. Greed can be deadly.

That's right, it's execution capability. Most people fail because of greed. I've seen many people stubbornly hold onto a single loss, only to end up liquidated.

That's right, being able to survive after eight years shows that I have indeed figured out the way. I have suffered too many losses from "greed for the last bite," so now I strictly enforce stop-losses, with each trade not exceeding 2% of the principal. The key is proper asset allocation, diversifying risk with multi-signature wallets, and not putting all your eggs in one basket.

There's nothing wrong with what you said, but what I respect the most is still that phrase "Admit when you're wrong." How many people have fallen because of stubbornly insisting on it?

After eight years of understanding their temper, it still takes a year to do it once. I truly respect this pace; most people can't even wait.

That's so true. Mindset is really 90% of the reason for losses, while technical skills are secondary. The insights I've gained over eight years are truly valuable, especially that saying "Main upward wave once a year." How many people trade daily and end up losing?

You're right, mindset is the biggest enemy. I used to trade every day and wore myself out.

After eight years of pitfalls, I finally understand these: to be honest, don't be greedy, don't gamble with your emotions, and keep cash on hand. I think the most heartbreaking thing is that phrase "one big mistake gets you kicked out," and that's the reality.
