$BTC $ETH If you’ve been in the crypto space long enough, you’ll understand one thing:

What truly eliminates people is never the market—it’s emotions.
In a bull market, everyone’s a stock god.
In a bear market, even faith is worthless.
Liquidations, drawdowns, wick-pokes, and waterfall-style drops—
every market cycle will make a large number of people disappear without a sound.
I’ve been able to survive until now,
not because I’m exceptionally good at grabbing opportunities,
but because I’ve always remembered this line—
Don’t rush to make money. Don’t die first.
14 years in crypto: from liquidation to 80% annualized—my survival and profit playbook
In 14 years in crypto, I’ve been liquidated 4 times. And once, when I stayed up until 3 a.m. watching the charts, I almost smashed my computer.
Now that I can consistently lock in returns of 80%+ annualized, the most unforgettable lesson is just one:
Survive first, then talk about making money.
In the crypto world, I never do signal selling. Everything I share has no commercial intent at all—it’s trading know-how hammered out by real money, handed over to brothers who are still figuring things out.
1. When you’ve made a profit, take it and put it away. Don’t wait for “one more pump.”
I have an ironclad habit:
For every additional 1000U in my account, I immediately transfer 600U to my bank card.
Floating profits on the candlestick chart are just numbers—only the bank SMS is real.
In the early days, I crashed on “just make a bit more.” In the end, profits of tens of thousands of U turned into a negative result.
2. Don’t trust your indicators-til-you-feel-it. Trust the indicators.
With AICoin, I only watch three things: MACD, RSI, and Bollinger Bands. I enter only when at least two indicators align in the same direction.
For example, when trading ETH short-term, I wait until two 1-hour candles both stand above the Bollinger Bands’ middle band, with the MACD also forming a golden cross—then I act. I never place orders based on “it feels like it’s going up.”
3. Stop-loss is a life-saving talisman.
If I’m monitoring the market, I dynamically move the stop-loss to protect profits. When I’m busy, I set a hard stop-loss at -3%.
A couple of years ago, I once forgot to set a stop-loss. ETH then crashed into a waterfall-style decline, and I lost 20,000U in one go. Since then, I’ve never dared to be careless again.
4. Withdraw cash on a fixed weekly schedule.
Every Friday at 3 p.m., I take out 60% of my profits on the dot—no matter how the market is doing.
After doing this for half a year, my account curve stabilized, and I never experienced the cycle again of “making money and then losing it all.”
5. The red line must never be touched.
Leverage: up to 10x. For beginners, I only suggest 3–5x;
No more than 3 trades per day—if you trade too frequently, you’ll get messed up;
Besides BTC and ETH, never touch other coins—they’re all pitfalls meant to cut retail’s weeds;
And don’t borrow money to trade crypto—that’s pushing yourself to the edge.
Trading crypto is a profession, not a gambling game. When it’s time to rest, close the software and stay with your family.
