Having been in the crypto world for many years, I’ve seen too many people make quick money only to lose it just as fast. My experience is simple: start with 1000U, and over 6 years, grow it to 50 million. It’s not luck or chasing quick trades, but a set of proven, long-lasting trading core principles.

Honestly, finding good targets isn’t that hard; the hard part is surviving to see the returns. I’ve been using and sticking to these 8 rules—

**Position Management is Fundamental**
Divide your funds into 6 parts, and only move one part at a time. Keep stop-loss within 9%, so the maximum loss on a single mistake is 1.5% of total capital. Set profit targets at over 13%. Use limited risk to gain more room, and that’s how you survive longer.

**Follow the Trend for Higher Win Rate**
Rebounds during a downtrend are often traps—don’t try to bottom fish. Corrections in an uptrend are real opportunities. Simply put, be friends with the trend, don’t fight it.

**Rapid Rise at High Levels is the Most Dangerous**
I never touch coins that surge short-term. Stagnation at high levels usually ends in a 50% cut. Too many get caught in the last surge—surviving is more valuable than quick profits.

**Technical Analysis is Only for Confirming Direction**
I only look at one thing with MACD: a bullish crossover below the zero line that breaks upward—then I consider entering. Once a death cross appears above zero, I leave immediately. No hesitation.

**Don’t Add to Losses, Add to Wins**
Stop-loss is to cut mistakes; adding to positions is to amplify correct trades. Many see adding as a remedy, but that’s wrong. Let your winning trades run, and don’t give losing trades a second chance.

**Volume and Price Reflect True Sentiment**
A volume breakout at low levels is worth watching, but if volume surges at high levels and can’t move further, it’s time to exit. Volume rarely lies.

**Trade Only in Uptrend**
Short-term: look at the 4-day MA; medium-term: 32-day MA; main upward wave: 76-day MA; long-term: 125-day MA. As long as the trend is upward, time is on your side.

**Review Every Trade**
No review means repeating mistakes. Markets change, so strategies must adapt. Relying on a single routine is a retail trader’s mindset.

The crypto market is never short of opportunities; what’s lacking are methods, discipline, and execution. Sometimes, watching others eat meat while you’re confused is just because your rhythm is off. Follow the right direction, choose the right path, and you can survive longer in this market. I’ve stepped into all the pits—now it’s up to you whether you dare to come in steadily.
