#数字资产市场动态 From 5,000U to over 500,000—A Retail Trader’s Trading Notes

Last year’s bear market was brutal. I was left with only 5,000 USDT, trying to turn things around, but chasing LTC at a high point got me stuck for 30%, and the landlord’s WeChat was bombarding me every day. During that time, I wrote six trading rules on my monitor—called them "mnemonics," but really they were just forcing myself not to do stupid things.

**Three bottom lines clarified first:**

No leverage—I've locked the multiplier at 1x, eliminating even the thought of gambling;

No chasing highs—whenever I see a bullish candle, I look for trouble, best to stay ten meters away from the screen;

No full position—always keep 30% cash in the account, so I have ammunition for emergencies.

**Practical application of the six rules:**

$RAVE is an interesting coin. It consolidated at high levels for five days. I judged "it will surge again" according to my rules, but didn’t act. On the sixth day, it broke out with volume, I bought at 0.12, sold at 0.14, earning 15% and then exited;

Later, I learned a trick—buy on a bearish candle, sell on a bullish candle. The next day, after a bearish candle, I added to my position at 0.135. When it rebounded to 0.152 on the third day, I sold again, earning another 12%;

Range-bound periods are the toughest. A whole week of oscillation— I played games, chewed on chopsticks, didn’t place any orders, and didn’t lose a penny;

When the downtrend slows, stay alert. Although it declined at the end of the month, the speed clearly slowed, and the rebound lacked strength. I only opened half a position to test, and the next day, I exited with a 3% profit;

Failed twice to test the top at high levels. The rules told me to run— I saw through the double top at 0.18, cleared all positions with one click, and the market later crashed 40% without me getting caught;

Finally, pyramid-style position building. After falling back to 0.1, I added in three layers: 0.1, 0.09, 0.08, each layer with 30% of the position. The average price was 0.089. When it rebounded to 0.11, my account doubled to 52,000.

In half a year, 5,000 turned into 52,000. No overnight riches, but I paid rent, credit cards, and bought what I needed.

This approach may sound rustic, but turtles live long—at least they’re still alive compared to those chasing hot trends or risking everything. When the market recovers, don’t just envy others. Set your own rules, stick to them strictly, and what you lose will naturally be earned back.
