Crypto World Survival Manual: Years of experience summarized, not talking about getting rich quickly, only discussing how to make money while staying alive.
In the years I've been in this industry, from the initial liquidation, anxiety, and sleepless nights, to now achieving stable profits with an annual return of over 70%, the most profound realization along this journey is:
In the crypto world, first talk about "survival", then talk about "making money".
Today's article is dedicated to all the friends who are still exploring in the market. This is not a trading guide, but a calm, practical trading manual with survival as the top priority.
1. Profit first, cash out.
Making money in the crypto world is not difficult; the hard part is whether you have the ability to "take the money out".
The discipline I set for myself is:
Withdraw 400U to the bank card immediately for every additional 1000U in the account.
Continue to roll over the remaining ones. You need to be clear about one thing:
What is in the account is unrealized profit; what is in the bank account is real money.
Don't fantasize about "doubling your money in one go"; most people end up losing their principal in the obsession of "earning just a little more."
3. Indicators are primary, emotions are sidelined.
Stop relying on "feelings" to trade; that's a sign of retail investors.
It is recommended to use TradingView, mainly focusing on the following three indicator combinations:
•MACD
•RSI
•Bollinger Bands
Strategy:
•At least two indicators must form a same-direction signal to consider entering the market.
•Short-term operations look at the 1-hour chart, trend judgment uses the 4-hour chart
• Do not look at such high noise periods for 5 minutes, as it is too easy to be misled by false signals.
Example: For instance, if you want to go long on ETH, you need to see at least two consecutive 1-hour candlesticks above the Bollinger middle band, and a MACD golden cross, before considering entering the market.
4. Stop-loss should be set to "stay alive"
Using a stop-loss is easily triggered, especially in a high volatility market like the crypto world.
Two suggestions:
1. When you have time to monitor the market, dynamically raise the stop-loss level to protect the profits you have gained.
2. Set a hard stop loss during busy times, for example -3%, to avoid extreme market conditions without monitoring the market.
Stop-loss is not a sign of weakness, but the bottom line for professional traders.
5. Fixed weekly withdrawals
I set a fixed habit: to withdraw 30% of the profits to the account every Friday.
Regardless of this week's profits or losses, as long as there are gains, cash out a portion first. Stick to this action, and after three months you will find that your account's capital curve is healthier and emotional fluctuations are smaller.
This step can help you break out of the cycle of starting over and resetting repeatedly.
6. Clarify the red line and refuse high-risk operations.
Several principles must be kept in mind:
•Leverage should not exceed 10 times; beginners are advised to keep it between 3 and 5 times.
•A maximum of 3 operations per day, frequent trading = loss of emotional control.
• Stay away from Dogecoin, Shitcoin, Meme Coin - high volatility, low value, all tools for harvesting retail investors.
•Do not borrow money to trade coins, no matter how confident you are.
The most important point:
Treat trading coins as a "profession" rather than "gambling."
Look at the market when it's time to look, and rest when it's time to rest. Don't stay up all night staring at the market, and don't chase highs and sell low. What you want is long-term stability, not short-term highs.
It's not that you can't make money, but that you haven't learned how to stand firm in the storm.
When you have a complete set of stable, replicable, and clearly defined risk control trading strategies —
You will understand:
The sense of security in making steady money is far more valuable than becoming rich quickly.
If you want to thrive a little longer in the crypto world and progress a bit more steadily, remember this method, implement it, and perhaps you are just one "real execution" away from a life of freedom.
