#以太坊大户持仓变化 Eight years of trading experience, what I want to share most with everyone is— in the first three years, I lost 70% directly. This tuition fee was paid with real money.
Only later did I understand some survival rules. I can't say it's guaranteed to make profits, but at least it can help you avoid five years of pitfalls.
The most common mistake retail investors make is this: stubbornly hold when losing, and run away in a second when profitable. The right approach is the opposite—have the courage to realize profits, and have the guts to cut losses at critical points.
Don't underestimate this execution ability. Just following a discipline like "take partial profits when the increase reaches 10%, cut all when it drops to 5%" can save you countless times.
Let's talk about trading volume. Trading volume is the true voice of the market.
When volume shrinks and a new high is made? Usually there's more to come; breaking through the 20-day moving average and then pulling back on lower volume? That's basically a gift of opportunity.
Focus on mainstream coins, don't be indecisive and scatter your attention everywhere. Those with seven or eight coins in their accounts tend to die faster. Stick to two or three, and if your self-discipline is poor, you still need to hold the line.
Daily trading also has its routines. Don't panic during a decline; rebounds often follow. Be cautious of sudden surges at the end of the day; they usually get pulled back the next day.
Remember these rules: volume contraction and price increase continue to rise; volume expansion with stagnation indicates a top; rapid surge on huge volume will inevitably retrace.
Market logic is much clearer than you think.
Trend always comes first. Don't predict, just follow the rhythm.
In the short term, observe the 5-day moving average for strength; in the medium term, watch the 20-day; once broken, get out—don't resist.
A strong coin being hammered down doesn't mean it's over. As long as participation and turnover are still sufficient, it often rebounds.
If you really want high returns, look for opportunities with high odds.
But the most critical point here—after making big money, you must go to cash and stay calm.
The market is best at harvesting those who get carried away after making money.
I've been tricked too many times—my account doubles, but in the end, I end up giving it all back.
During losses, there's no need to operate frequently. Stay calm, and wait until the profit effect truly returns before re-entering.
To put it simply, trading cryptocurrencies is never about chasing short-term pleasure, but about enduring.
Enduring is about maintaining a stable mindset, upgrading your cognition, and sticking to disciplined execution.
Opportunities are abundant. You can find rhythm in both bull and bear cycles. The real lack is whether you can truly follow the rules.
My biggest takeaway from these eight years is: the skills to trade cryptocurrencies are not hard to learn; what's hard is controlling your hands and your mind.
Remember, patient people will never be owed anything by the market.

It's been eight years, and I have to say this phrase hits the hardest—"Control your hands and your heart." I paid tuition seven or eight times during the NFT wave but still haven't fully understood it.
Once people taste the thrill of doubling their money, they get carried away. I understand the strategy of shrinking positions to hit new highs, but as soon as they make a profit, they get itchy to trade, and in the end, they end up losing more than they gained.
This brother's words are spot on, but how many retail investors can truly stick to "cut losses at 5%"?

Still watching this kind of stuff at 3 a.m., really human weakness is the best arbitrage mechanism.

70% of the tuition fee sounds painful, but that's the real cost of getting started... I went through the same thing.

That's quite right, but I think that 70% tuition fee isn't really a big deal. I was completely wiped out early on... really, there are many worse situations than this.

Losing 70% in the first three years and still surviving until now, this mindset is truly incredible... I especially agree with the saying "After making big money, you must be completely out of the market and stay calm." How many people have died at this step, doubling their account and then immediately giving it all back? It's heartbreaking.

That really hits home. 70% of the tuition is indeed expensive, but I truly respect this discipline theory... I'm the kind of person with seven or eight coins in my account, and now I'm a bit scared.

Damn, I need to memorize this discipline of 10% profit and 5% stop-loss. It can really save lives.
