Having been in the crypto world for 8 years, I have seen too many people lose everything out of greed, and also many who survived the bear market through persistence. From an initial capital of 8 million to now 48 million, there’s no special talent or insider information involved—it's purely about a set of five-part position management rules that many laugh at as "too conservative." Step by step, I carved out my own path.
Later, I taught this method to a few apprentices, one of whom doubled his account in just three months. So today, I want to share these core experiences accumulated over the years without reservation, hoping to help more people stand firm in this market.
**Capital Management is the Foundation of Survival**
First, divide your trading capital into 5 parts. What’s the benefit of doing this? Each time, only use one part. Even if you set a 10% stop-loss, a single loss is only 2% of your total capital. Even if you lose five times in a row, the total loss is just 10%. Conversely, if you get one correct trade, you can at least earn 10%. It may sound simple, but this is the secret of compound interest. Slow is fast; time turns this principle into a real wealth curve.
**Follow the Trend, Don’t Fight the Market**
This is the lesson I learned after paying the most tuition. Rebounds during declines and pullbacks during uptrends are traps that beginners fall into easily. Many see a rebound and think the bottom is in, only to get caught. Trends are always smarter than any individual judgment. Instead of fighting them, it’s better to honestly follow behind. Only look for opportunities in an uptrend. This one rule can help you avoid most losses.
**Sudden Rises Often Hide Traps**
Coins that surge wildly in the short term usually lack sustainability. When they start consolidating at high levels, that’s when the big players are taking profits. Instead of betting on continued growth, focus on the core goal of "preserving capital and avoiding mistakes." It may seem like missing some opportunities, but it’s actually preserving your capital for the next market cycle.
**Technical Analysis: MACD and Volume-Price Relationship**
MACD is arguably the most reliable radar in trading. When DIF and DEA cross bullish below the zero line, wait for a breakout above zero—this is a good entry point with a high success rate. Conversely, when a death cross occurs above zero, it’s time to cut losses and exit. Mastering MACD can save you countless detours and prevent significant losses.
Volume and price never lie. A volume breakout at a low level signals a new upward wave. High volume but stagnant prices at a high level indicate it’s time to retreat. Candlestick patterns can be manipulated, but volume always tells the truth.
**Adding Positions is the Biggest Psychological Trap**
Never add to a losing position. Doubling down on losses only deepens the trap, leaving no chance to turn around. The only time to add is when your account is in profit—use profits to add, not your principal.
**Multi-Timeframe Confluence Is Key to Certainty**
When the 3-day chart confirms an uptrend, you can look for short-term opportunities. An upward 30-day moving average indicates medium-term strength. An upward 84-day moving average suggests a potential main rally. When the 120-day moving average turns up, it’s the stage for a long-term bull trend. Only trade trends you understand; don’t daydream. This is essential for stable profits.
**Reviewing Past Trades Turns Luck Into Skill**
After each trade, ask yourself: Why did I buy? Why did I sell? Is the original logic still valid? Does the weekly K-line support my decision? Reviewing helps turn luck into consistent ability.
**Final Words**
From 8 million to 48 million, it’s never been luck but daily habits and execution. Being steady, timing well, and persistent execution are the real paths for ordinary people to break through.
If you can do three of these, you can survive in the market. Master all five, and stable profits are no longer a dream. Truly embedding these eight principles into your bones might only be a market cycle away from financial freedom. Don’t envy others as "gurus"; it’s just that you haven’t fully understood the word "stability" yet.

Fifty percent position is really the best propulsion ratio for rocket launches. To put it simply, it's about conserving ammunition for the next ascent cycle.
The biggest taboo when reloading supplies is to go all-in at once. I have deep personal experience with this.
The MACD golden cross breaking the 0 axis is a signal for booster ignition. It has been validated countless times and has never failed.
Don't buy more at the point where I was pierced—that's exactly what burned me last time when I kept adding as losses grew. Now I only use profits to add positions.
In the face of trends, we are all elementary students. Going against the market is just asking for death.
I believe in this methodology, confidently surpassing those with gambler mentalities.

80 million to 48 million... It sounds like the opposite of a "cutting leeks" story, but this 50% position set really has some substance.
Splitting the position into five parts for operation, that's what they say, but in practice, no one can really stick to it.
Go all-in when MACD crosses? Wake up, it's 2024, and the technicals have been played out by the big players.
Not adding to your position? The hardest part during losses is this, but when making money, who still dares to use profits to add?
Reviewing your trades is indeed important, but most people review how they lost money.
Stop fooling yourself, this method is indeed reliable, but 99% of people lack the execution ability.
The logic is clear, but why does it sound just like the "cutting leeks" sales pitch... For reference only.
Stability is indeed the core, but the crypto world is a test of human nature; most people won't endure until that day.

The five-position trading strategy is indeed ruthless. I have a buddy who survives solely on this, while others have already been wiped out.
Eight years and five times the profit. Not greedy, but the execution is truly top-notch, unlike us still bouncing back and forth.
The point about adding positions is spot on. I've seen too many people keep adding as they lose, directly going to zero. I'm one of them haha.
Seeing a MACD death cross, I run immediately. It saves so much money from cutting losses. Technical analysis still needs to be thoroughly understood.
The phrase "slow is fast" is something I need to engrain in my mind. Chasing hot trends every day ends up making you a leek (chives).
For coins that are skyrocketing, I only glance and then run. Sideways movement at high levels is bound to be a trap; the套路 (套路) is too deep.
I’ve never really stuck to a review process. If it weren’t for reading this article, I would have forgotten this even happened.
Admitting defeat in the face of trends is the hardest, but it indeed helps you survive longer than fighting against the trend.
These five-position strategies sound conservative, but the win rate is stable. Unlike me, who keeps all-in gambling.
The multi-cycle resonance is absolutely spot on. Not looking at the long-term and only doing short-term trading is why I keep getting caught.

The 50% position strategy is indeed powerful, but the older brother is just too modest. This is not conservatism; it's great wisdom disguised as simplicity.
Honestly, I have deep experience with adding to positions. In the past, I would keep increasing my position when I was losing, but the more I added, the deeper I sank. Now I only reverse with profits; staying alive is truly more important.
Reviewing the strategy is the most critical part. Many people don't ask why at all; they just follow the trend to buy and sell. If you can make money this way, you're really just lucky.
The number from 8 million to 48 million can definitely motivate people, but what hurts even more is the phrase: what we lack is not method but execution.
I think the MACD explanation is on point. The golden cross below the zero line is really a good signal; I've tried it several times and it’s indeed effective.

Fifty percent of the positions are correct, but how many can actually be executed?

Holding 50% of the position conservatively is actually just trading time for space, relying on compound interest to ride through the market
You're absolutely right about adding to your position; losing money and still throwing more in—your brain must be seriously waterlogged
MACD is truly the simplest and most effective indicator, a hundred times more reliable than those flashy, complicated ones
In the face of trends, everyone is equal; those who insist on fighting the market are just being weeded out as the little guys
Going from 8 million to 48 million sounds great, but the real challenge is resisting the urge to trade frequently—this is too difficult
This set of strategies is all about stability + discipline, there are no other secrets; honesty is often the most painful truth
The key is to review and reflect; most people can't even stick to it for a month

50% position is really underestimated. The guy around me relied on this trick to grow from 500,000 to 7 million. I feel most people are still too impatient.
This logic sounds simple, but to really follow it strictly, no more than two out of ten people can stick to it.
The MACD part is indeed accurate; combined with volume and price relationship, it has a significant impact. But the hardest part is controlling the urge to go all in.
The part about adding positions really hit home. How many people start to add more after a loss, only to end up losing everything in the end?
The number from 800 to 4800 sounds outrageous, but if you calculate compound interest and cycles carefully, it’s actually just about right. It all depends on who can really endure a few bear markets.

Damn, five positions is really incredible. I used to go all-in with full positions, and now I understand why I was always trapped.
The one-sentence summary is: don't be greedy; staying alive is more important than winning money.
This set of strategies looks simple, but execution is truly hell. Most people can't do it.
I've tried the MACD golden cross, and the probability is indeed good, but I often get stopped out.
I lost thirty points in a bottom rebound last time before I realized what a trend really is. It was painful.
The part about adding positions really hit me—losing more and more, only to end up with nothing in the account.
Honestly, the steady traders are the ones making real money. I just lack the execution ability.
I now understand that sideways movement is a signal to sell off; before, I stubbornly held on, waiting for a big breakout.
Reviewing my trades has truly changed my entire trading logic. If not for that, I would have blown up early.
