The Retail Investor Breakthrough Method in the Crypto World: 2 Hours a Day, Win Over Most People with Discipline
In the rhythm of everyday life, there lies the certainty of trading.
After sending the kids off and having breakfast, I sat down at the computer at 9 o'clock sharp. First, I reviewed the transaction data from the previous day—trading volume, average price, profit and loss ratio, and casually noted a few key changes. Trading coins is not about luck, to put it bluntly, it's a battle against one's own laziness.
Several key coins to focus on, I only grind from 9:30 to 10:50 in the morning. During this more than an hour, I don’t answer calls, don’t check messages, and keep my eyes glued to the market to adjust positions, doing T+0 back and forth to catch that fleeting rhythm.
The afternoon market is mostly sluggish; I occasionally glance at my phone, but if there's no opportunity, I set it aside—staying in cash and waiting for opportunities is ten times better than blindly trading.
Before 4 PM, you can either go for a walk in the park or carry a fishing rod to the riverbank, or sometimes just turn off the computer and take a nap.
After dinner, the child does homework, and I review and write a trading diary under the desk lamp. If someone in the community asks a question, I answer a few sentences. Is the market really not worth watching? I drive to the suburbs to fish, keeping the app running on my phone, and place orders casually when the market moves—making money and living life should go hand in hand.
The root of trading: Protecting the principal is the only way to have a chance.
Having money in hand means being at ease in heart – this is the most practical truth in the crypto world. Never go all in, and don't put all your eggs in one basket. Always keep more than 30% cash in your account, and adjust your positions according to the market: if the trend is strong, add a little; if something seems off, reduce your positions to stay safe.
An account is not meant to bet on tomorrow, but to hold on until tomorrow. As long as you're still at the table, turning the tide is not just talk.
Six pitfalls that retail investors must avoid to win.
1. Take profit and stop loss: it’s not a choice question, it’s a must-answer question. If you see the right trend but don’t secure profits, it’s equivalent to working hard for nothing; if you see the wrong trend and don’t stop loss, it’s like jumping into a fire pit.
2. Don't be a gambler who tries to "feel the bottom and copy the top." It's enough to profit from the middle part; the market is never short of trends, but it lacks the patience that isn't greedy.
3. A surge without volume is just "drawing a pie". A rise without trading volume is mostly driven by the main players themselves, and once the excitement is over, only losses remain.
4. When good news comes, act fast; if you miss it, don't chase. Opportunities last only a few seconds; if you miss the leader, it's better to look for the ones that are catching up than to force your way in.
5. During consolidation, just take a break and don’t gamble on the fluctuations out of "itchy hands". Ninety percent of the time, the market is flat, and the main upward wave is just a small segment; if you miss it, don’t worry, it will come again.
6. A crash is not the end of the world; it is an opportunity knocking at the door. The real bottom is always hidden in the most panicked moments. When others are selling at a loss, you pick some up; you earn money from being calm.
MACD Divergence Strategy: Use Data Instead of Feelings
This method is not miraculous, but it is more reliable than blind guessing — MACD continuous divergence, especially during extreme market conditions, provides signals that are more accurate than most indicators.
Adjust the parameters: set MACD to 13, 34, the signals will be clearer.
Divergence: Price makes new highs/lows, but MACD does not follow -
- Divergence: The price is rising but lacks strength, bears are about to exert force;
- Divergence: Price is falling without strength, bulls are gaining momentum.
Use the 13-period ATR for stop loss, and when volatility is high, the range can be widened a bit.
Want to improve your win rate? Try the left side first, then confirm on the right side. Only when all four signals are gathered should you heavily invest; otherwise, it’s better to miss out.
Trading is the side dish of life, not the main course.
I trade full-time, but I don't watch the market for 12 hours. Compared to momentary emotions, I trust patterns and systems more.
The meaning of trading has never been about getting rich quickly; it is about freedom—being able to go fishing in the afternoon, accompanying kids with their homework, and calmly adding to positions when there is a sharp decline.
If you are still anxious in the crypto world, try doing this: spend 2 hours a day practicing systems, managing emotions, and controlling positions. Don't think about getting rich overnight, that is mostly a precursor to heavy losses. The market has opportunities every day, your account cannot die; as long as you don't leave the game, beating most people is just a matter of time.
