Making a million-dollar level from a small account, the crypto world isn't as complicated as it seems. A seasoned player recently summarized his 9 practical tips—listen and you can avoid many detours.
First, recognize your own capital scale. If you only have 10,000 to 100,000, don't expect to have gains every day. Catching one or two big market moves is enough; frequent trading often leads to faster losses.
If you don't sell on the day good news comes out, be prepared to sell when it opens high the next day. This is a painful lesson—good news often signals a top. Waiting for the price to fall before selling is too late and will only make you regret.
Pay special attention to news and the days before holidays. Before major events, clear your positions or reduce holdings in advance. Once the trend becomes clear, follow the market. This way, you earn real money.
For medium to long-term trading, keep your position sizes small. Heavy positions may seem to double quickly, but you're actually digging your own grave. Gradually accumulating with small positions is more stable. Short-term trading requires speed, accuracy, and decisiveness—if the setup looks good, go for it; if something feels off, exit quickly. Hesitation only leads to getting trapped.
Market rhythm can be fast or slow; you must follow its beat and not overthink. If you see the wrong direction, cut your losses immediately—don't hold on stubbornly. Stop-loss is about protecting your capital; it's the most basic and crucial defense line.
For short-term trading, monitor 15-minute K-line charts closely. The KDJ indicator can help you pinpoint bottoms accurately. And most importantly—attitude. The crypto market has large fluctuations, so you need mental resilience to handle big swings. Don't let temporary market movements hijack your emotions; staying calm is key to sustained profits.

Good news comes out and you don't run immediately, you're definitely caught in the trap—that's a really bloody lesson.
That's right, taking a small position and slowly accumulating actually leads to more solid gains, don't always think about going all-in for a double.
Mindset is the key; no matter how crazy the market gets, you must stay calm, or you'll just be giving money to the big players.
For medium to long-term, you really need to hold steady; frequent trading is just fighting against yourself.
Before major news, you must run; I've lost several times this way, but now I've learned my lesson.
15-minute K-line combined with KDJ can indeed help catch many bottoms in the short term.
Stop-loss is like a life-saving talisman; many people die because they can't bear to cut losses.

The good news about escaping is really a tough exterior with a soft heart. After seeing so many people suffer losses, I summarized it... It sounds nice, but in practice, I still want to wait a bit longer. As a result, I got trapped. I am a living example.

Good news is the top? Haha, I’ve made some profits from this reverse operation too, but the key is to have the courage to cut losses.
Holding a small position is really the best, I used to go all-in with heavy positions and got wiped out, now I’ve learned to be smarter.
Mindset is the hardest part; it’s easy to say, but the real skill is not to panic when it drops 50%.
There are no shortcuts to making money; it’s simply about surviving long enough and losing as little as possible.
I believe this theory only halfway because the market will always exceed your expectations.
Frequent trading is indeed an IQ tax; you should learn to wait.
Heard too many crashes from KDJ bottom-fishing; it’s better to trust your own instincts and be honest.
With a small principal, you should be even more cautious; losing everything in one go means the game is over.

Good news, I didn't sell on the same day, but the next day I became the bag holder. I've learned this lesson too many times haha.
Gradually building up a small position is really much safer than all-in, but it really tests patience.

Good news, didn't sell on the same day, and it opened higher the next day? That's exactly how I got trapped, the cost is blood, brother.

nah, "sustainable tokenomics" and position sizing aren't mutually exclusive—this just feels like dressed-up risk management 101. the velocity trap here is obvious: chasing daily moves on 1-10k is just ponzinomics with extra steps.

Positive news on the day doesn't run, and the next day you're the bag holder. I have learned this painful lesson firsthand.
Accumulating with small positions is really more satisfying than doubling with large positions, at least it improves sleep quality.
I've been using the 15-minute KDJ for so long, but I still often get caught off guard. Who said it's precise?

That's right, good news should be sold the next day. A bloody lesson, so many people have fallen for it here.
Small positions are the way to go. What happened to those who dreamed of doubling their money in one shot? You know it in your heart.
Stop-loss really is a lifesaver. Don't hold on stubbornly; accepting losses and exiting can actually help you survive longer.
Frequent trading is suicide. Small capital should wait for big market moves; otherwise, you could be wiped out by fees.
I've tried the KDJ bottom-fishing strategy, and it only works reliably when combined with candlestick patterns. Indicators are not万能.
When your mindset collapses, everything is over. With such large fluctuations, without some resolve, you'll be chopped up early.
Sell as soon as news comes out. This is indeed the fastest way to avoid pitfalls. Once the pattern is clear, re-enter with confidence and be more stable.
