Three years ago, I took a big hit in trading, losing three million in a single blow. That period was truly despairing, but it was also that painful experience that made me thoroughly reflect on what I did wrong.



Starting over from four thousand yuan, I spent three full years testing a set of methods—what truly allows you to survive in the market. The conclusion was very sobering: no one can achieve long-term profits through luck; a stable system is the lifeline.

My current trading approach is actually very simple. Divide your capital into five parts, only move one part at a time, and set a 10-point stop loss. Calculated this way, losing once means at most losing 2% of your total capital; even if you lose five times, you can still turn it around. When you do it right, hold on, and take at least 10 points profit to fundamentally avoid the risk of being trapped.

Trading is most about judging the trend. In a declining market, those rebounds are mostly trap rebounds; in contrast, the pullbacks in an uptrend give us real entry opportunities. Be especially cautious of coins that experience violent short-term surges—whether mainstream coins or altcoins, they are equally dangerous. Stagnation at high levels often signals the beginning of a decline.

MACD is my good helper. When DIF and DEA form a golden cross below the zero line and stand above zero, that’s a steady entry signal; once a death cross occurs above zero, I decisively reduce my position. I have a strict rule I never break: never add to a position when in loss. Adding more only increases losses, ultimately forcing you into a dead end. Add to positions only when in profit—that’s the correct way to follow the trend.

Volume reflects the true state behind the coin price. Breakouts with volume at low levels are worth paying attention to, but if volume surges at high levels and the price stagnates, you must exit immediately. I focus on coins with three moving averages trending upward together, operating along the short, medium, and long-term momentum. Daily review and confirmation of my holding logic are essential; once the trend changes, I adjust my strategy immediately.

In the past, I was navigating blindly in the market. Now, I’ve organized these years of insights, hoping to help you avoid detours. The essence of trading is actually very simple—not gambling wildly, but maintaining a steady and cautious approach, following the trend, and only then can you achieve steady and long-term success.

This guy blew up 3 million and then turned it around, really ruthless. But I still think this set of theories sounds smooth; who can really stick to it when actually doing it? --- Stop loss of 10 points, I agree with that, but is high-level stagnation really that accurate to judge? I often get it wrong. --- Saying never add to a losing position is easy, but can your hands really stay still when the market rebounds? --- Revalidating a system over three years, I really respect the patience, most people simply can't endure that. --- I've also played with MACD golden cross and death cross, but the key is execution, knowing and doing are worlds apart. --- I need to try this move of volume breakout at low levels; exiting at high levels definitely makes the mentality easier to lose. --- From 4,000 to now, this story sounds satisfying, but the sample size is just one person, so it may not be universally applicable. --- The habit of review really needs to be cultivated. I didn't review and kept repeating the same mistakes every day. --- Honestly, it's still about following the trend; those tricks against the trend look exciting, but in the end, you always end up losing.

Really? The part about the 3 million liquidation was indeed harsh, but I believe in the steady system afterward. The part about adding positions was the most heartbreaking; many people just die here.

Three million liquidation in one go, really being taught a lesson by the market. But I have to say, the logic of turning things around later is still acceptable. However, speaking of which, this strategy of dividing funds into five parts sounds stable, but the real challenge is whether you can stick with it in practice. Stagnation at high levels is definitely a prelude to a decline. Sometimes, it also depends on the specific situation. Sometimes, sideways movement in mainstream coins is actually the main trend. I agree with the rule of not adding to losing positions. Too many people get wiped out because of this.

A margin call of three million can still make a comeback, this mindset is incredible, I am amazed. --- That's right, adding to losing positions is like suicide, I used to play like that and ruin myself. --- A 10% stop loss sounds like insurance, but in practice it's a bit difficult, often getting stopped out instantly. --- High-level stagnation is indeed dangerous, I've stepped on too many pits, now I just escape. --- I'm also using the MACD golden cross strategy, but the effect is hit or miss, that's just how the crypto world is. --- Developing the habit of review is important, but I'm too lazy to review now, and I end up losing more haha. --- Following the trend sounds simple, but in reality, it really depends on one's mindset; most people can't do it.
