The crypto world has never lacked stories; what it lacks is the courage to execute.

Fan Xiao Li's experience is the best proof. Last year, his insurance business collapsed, and he lost another 150,000 USDT in the crypto market. When his account dropped to just 3,000 yuan, he almost saw no hope. During that phone call, his voice was trembling: "Can I turn it around?"

The answer is yes, but it requires a complete change in strategy.

In the first wave, I advised him to go long near $BEAT at 1.01. Not long after, this coin gained momentum, soaring from 1.01 directly to 2.1. When taking profits, his account jumped to 30,000 USDT. This is not luck; it’s about waiting until the trend is clear before taking action.

The second wave was Ethereum. During the early December correction, I told him to buy the dip around 2720. Later, Ethereum surged from 2720 all the way to 3380. Taking profits again, his account broke through the 340,000 mark.

From 3,000 USDT to 340,000 USDT—there's no magic behind this, only three iron rules.

**Timing is always the top priority.** I never obsess over the illusion of "buy low, sell high." Instead, I wait for the trend to emerge and the direction to be clear before entering the market to ride the most stable middle segment. This greatly increases the success rate.

**Position management determines life or death.** Xiao Li strictly controls his position size each time, never going all-in. Surviving in the crypto market is more important than making quick money. Preserving capital is the only way to have the opportunity for compound growth.

**Stop-loss and take-profit should be equally decisive.** Many people easily take profits but are reluctant to cut losses. But true trading masters do this: cut when it’s time to cut, withdraw when it’s time to withdraw. The market speaks every second; understand its voice and act accordingly—that’s all there is to it.
