#美联储重启降息步伐 Eight years in crypto—I’ve gone from chasing tops and getting liquidated on leveraged contracts, to getting stuck holding low-priced shitcoins, to going crazy with 100x leverage staring at charts, always thinking I had this game all figured out. Two months ago, I was still laughing at those “take 30% profit and run” guys, thinking they were too conservative, not realizing I was just fooling myself.

Every time the market moved, I’d go all in with heavy positions, staying up all night watching the charts, bragging to my buddies: “This is what a real bottom-picker looks like.” Until one night, out of nowhere, a wick crashed down, and those words “position liquidated” almost made my phone slip from my hand. I stared at my empty account for half an hour and finally understood: all these so-called years of experience weren’t experience at all—they were just gambling. The dream of getting rich quick was a chocolate-covered hand grenade.

After reflecting for a long time, I finally figured it out—surviving in this market is a hundred times more important than getting rich overnight.

With just 1000U left, I set three hard rules for myself that I wouldn’t break. Honestly, at first, I didn’t believe I could make it back. But 60 days later, I opened my account and saw the number sitting at 10280U. Later, when I shared this strategy with a few friends, they asked what the hardest part was. I said: it’s fighting your own greed, leaving yourself no way out.

**Step One: Break up your position size**
Split 1000U into 20 parts, with a max loss of 50U per trade—no exceptions. What does that mean? Even if you hit 20 stop-losses in a row, your account is still alive. Before, I’d go all in on any setup I liked. Now, no matter how good the opportunity looks, I only “take a bite.” It feels like having your hands and feet tied, but think about it: only surviving traders get the chance to make money the next time.

**Step Two: Take profit is a virtue**
BTC, ETH, SOL—whenever I’m up 30% I cash out completely, without waiting another second. At first, it felt cowardly and wasteful. But I did the math: on day 10, up 50%; by day 30, 2.4x; by day 60, exactly 10x. That’s the magic of compounding, not luck. The numbers never lie—the only thing that lies is telling yourself, “I’ll just make a little more before I leave.”

**Step Three: Stop-loss must be automatic**
A 10% stop-loss is set in stone; once it hits, the trade auto-closes—no hoping for a bounce. Maximum 3 trades a day; if I go over, I force myself to close the app and sleep. Each month, whenever I’m in profit, I immediately transfer 50% to a cold wallet, so the profit is “locked in” and I can feel at ease.

I only pick mainstream coins like BTC and ETH, spending an hour each during the Asia and US/EU sessions, waiting for price to break key levels—never chasing hype or rumors. Some people complain fees are too high, but I’ve eaten enough losses to know: paying the cost of a meal for steady compounding growth is always a good deal.

In the end, the biggest gain isn’t the 10280U—it’s finally understanding one thing: slow is actually fast, less is actually more. Throw away that fantasy of becoming a millionaire overnight; stick to the rules step by step, and you’ll actually be able to hold onto profit. This market isn’t short on stories of overnight riches—what it lacks is traders who survive to their tenth year.
