Trading has persisted for 8 years, starting with a capital of 20,000 and growing to over 20 million. It sounds hard to believe, but the core logic boils down to two words: discipline. Managing half of the position size with a steady, cautious rhythm, monthly returns can generally stay stable at around 70%. I once shared this approach with a young trader, and he doubled his funds in just three months.

Today, in a good mood, I’m breaking down these eight practical tips I’ve developed over the years—no holds barred. Follow these, and you’ll avoid many pitfalls.

**Capital division is the defense line.** Divide your principal into five parts, investing only one part at a time. Set a stop-loss at 10 points, so a single loss only affects 2% of your total capital. Even five consecutive losses would only reduce 10%, which won’t damage your core strength. Conversely, set take-profit targets above 10 points; this makes it difficult to get caught in a trap.

**Follow the trend first.** Rebounds during a downtrend are mostly false signals; avoid them at all costs. During a correction in an uptrend, that’s the real buying opportunity—much more reliable than blindly bottom-fishing. Improving your win rate mainly depends on this word: follow.

**Stay away from short-term explosive coins.** Whether it’s top-tier coins like BTC and ETH or various altcoins, only a few can sustain multiple main upward waves. After a rapid short-term surge, they often weaken; high prices tend to stagnate, and the probability of decline is high. Don’t rely on luck.

**Use MACD for technical indicators.** Simple and easy to understand: a bullish crossover below the zero line that breaks above zero is a steady entry signal; conversely, a death cross above zero indicates it’s time to reduce positions and exit. Don’t overcomplicate it.

**Replenishing positions is a big taboo.** Many retail traders fall into the deadly cycle of adding more when losing, which only worsens the situation. Remember: consider adding only when in profit; when losses occur, the first reaction should be to cut losses and exit. Don’t fight it.

**Volume-price relationship is crucial.** Trading volume is the “barometer” of the crypto market. After consolidation at low levels, a volume breakout signals a potential entry point; at high levels, if volume surges but the price lag, don’t hesitate—close your position immediately.

**Trade only in rising markets.** Choosing coins in an uptrend offers the highest probability of success with less effort. A 3-day moving average turning up is a short-term signal; a 30-day moving average turning up indicates a mid-term trend; an 84-day turning point signals the start of a main upward wave; only when the 120-day moving average turns up is a long-term bull market truly underway.

**Daily review is essential.** Check whether your logic for holding coins has changed; review the weekly K-line to see if your previous judgment still holds. If not, adjust your strategy promptly—don’t stubbornly follow a wrong trend.

Market fluctuations are normal. Stick to your principal and your original intention, and you’ll be able to stand firm through the next cycle. This system has been validated over time—just use it.
