#数字资产市场动态 Twenty thousand principal investment multiplies 160 times in seven years? Trading journal from losses to 32 million

The first thing I want to say is very brutal: risk management is the only rule for surviving in the crypto world.

Over the years, I have never risked my entire net worth on a single trade. I only use one-fifth of my total funds each time I take action. The benefits of this approach are obvious—when losing money, the damage is controllable; when making profits, I can immediately realize gains. I set a strict discipline for myself: if a single loss reaches 10%, I must cut losses, with no room for negotiation. No matter how tempting the market or how unwilling I feel inside, I must stick to it. After five consecutive losses, I could lose up to 50% of my principal, but when a real opportunity arises, several consecutive take-profit actions can recover all losses and even double the gains. I strictly follow this discipline for trading assets like $FRAX, $ZEN, and similar coins.

The second insight that helps me avoid detours: trade with the trend, not gamble at the bottom.

In a declining market, no one can accurately predict where the true bottom is. You think you've caught the bottom, but in reality, you're only halfway up the mountain. Those who get caught the worst are mostly those who keep trying to buy the dip during the decline. The truly reliable approach is much simpler—wait until an upward trend is clearly established, then buy on dips during pullbacks. What's the benefit of entering the market this way? Lower risk, higher win rate, stable mindset. For coins like $DASH, I operate based on this logic.

The third trap to avoid: those coins that surge short-term are landmines.

A daily multiple-fold increase may seem exciting, but what is the essence? It’s the big players draining blood. If you're still thinking about whether to push for another wave, they’ve already prepared the list of bagholders. Especially with altcoins, after a surge, they dump, and nine out of ten people get caught. I don’t just talk about this lesson; I’ve learned it through real money and experience.

My most trusted technical tool is MACD.

Watch when the DIF and DEA lines form a golden cross below the zero line and then break above zero—that’s the best buy signal I look for. Conversely, if a death cross forms above zero, I immediately reduce my position and exit. Locking in profits is the most practical thing. Many of my $FIL trades follow this logic.

Another common mistake many people make is averaging down.

Adding to a losing position is essentially throwing more money into a deep pit. But if you add to a winning position, it becomes the correct way to snowball your gains. The difference between these two approaches has a huge impact on long-term returns.

Volume is also a key detail. When the price breaks out from a low level, if the trading volume suddenly spikes significantly, it’s usually a signal that the big players are entering. If you dare to follow at this moment, you can often enjoy the dividends of a major upward wave.

To sum it all up, it’s just six words: follow the trend, strictly control risk.

When the moving averages on the daily, monthly, 3-month, and 4-month charts all turn upward simultaneously, it’s time to follow the trend. Once a trend reversal signal appears, you must decisively exit and avoid any wishful thinking. This approach relies neither on talent nor luck. It’s about strictly adhering to trading discipline day after day for eight years, pursuing growth steadily.

The crypto world has never mistreated those who are truly patient and understand risk management. If you can stay steady, wealth will naturally come step by step.
