Having traded in the crypto space for ten years, I've seen two extremes of human nature—some people turn their fortunes around overnight, while many others get completely wiped out.
Back then, I thought the same way, obsessed with hundredfold coins. It wasn't until I got caught in a surge and lost 50% that I realized a fundamental truth: surviving in the market long-term is far more important than making quick gains.
Later, I grew an account from less than $7,600 to over $200,000 in five months, all without a single liquidation. The method boils down to three key principles, all tested with real money.
**First Logic: Don't gamble on tops and bottoms; only ride the stable segments of the trend.**
I never try to bottom fish or guess the top. I wait for the market to show a clear direction, then enter at the moment of confirmation during a pullback. In a bull market, wait for a correction; in a bear market, wait for a rebound. This approach may seem less exciting, but it significantly increases your win rate.
**Second Logic: Always only risk half of your capital.**
The other half remains untouched. All position adjustments are made using profits. Even if the next trade results in a loss, it only eats into unrealized gains, leaving your core capital intact. This is the fundamental safeguard that allows me to keep playing.
**Third Logic: Daily trading, less is more.**
Only 1-2 trades per day. Take profits at 3%, 4%, or 5%, then stop. No greed. Every night, spend ten minutes asking yourself: Why did I enter at this price? Why exit at that price? Remember your mistakes and don't repeat them.
Over the years, I've caught mid-range breakouts of ETH, traded quick entries and exits after ZEC's volume shrinkage, and never missed BNB's double-up after the triangle convergence. Before each trade, I analyze the structure, assess volume, set stop-losses, and then execute.
People ask me how I can be so accurate—there's no secret. It all comes down to this method: "structure guides the direction, volume reveals authenticity, and position sizing preserves your life." I've repeated this countless times.
Don't underestimate compound interest. 3% daily may not seem much, but very few can stick to it consistently—probably less than one in ten. That's why most people eventually return to square one.
If you want to learn how to identify true buy and sell points, what market conditions are worth opening a position in, and how to use profits to build a safety net, follow me. I'll slowly break it down for you. The pitfalls I've stepped into over ten years might help you avoid five years of detours.
I used to stumble blindly in the dark; now I hold the light in my hand. The light is always on—are you coming with me or not?

That's right, it's just the logic of stubbornly holding on without dying. I used to chase highs and sell lows as well, and I lost everything. Now I follow daily settlement, although it's slow, but at least I'm still alive.

To be honest, this logic sounds great, but how many people can actually execute it... I'm the kind of person who feels uncomfortable watching others double their investments, and even more uncomfortable taking a 3% profit myself.

That's right, compound interest is the real killer, but unfortunately most people are still dreaming of 100x coins.

Sounds good, but honestly, this method was discussed ten years ago. Is it still effective now?
---
A daily 3% return is hard to maintain, and that's the truth.
---
Always only invest half of the principal, I agree with this. Living is more valuable than getting rich quickly.
---
Getting caught in a 50% loss after chasing the market is indeed the best teacher; it's more effective than reading a hundred tutorials.
---
Compound interest is like health preservation—everyone understands it, but few actually do it. The problem isn't the method itself.
---
Saying "less than one in ten" is too absolute; more often, people simply can't stick to it for ten days.
---
Structure, volume, stop-loss—I've heard these words for five years, but I still want to know how you see things others can't see.
---
It looks very stable, but I'm more curious whether the recent five months' market is particularly simple or if there are real skills involved.
---
Small daily profits—what's most difficult about this logic is actually quitting the gambler's mentality, not the technical skills.
---
Over 200,000 sounds like a lot, but can it be reproduced in the current market? That's the key.

That's right, survival is the top priority; otherwise, no matter how much you earn, it's all in vain.
---
Only moving half of the principal is truly a brilliant move. When I was fully invested before, just one loss meant social death.
---
3% daily sounds not much, but those who truly persist are indeed rare. Most are still hoping for a quick turnaround.
---
I've tried not chasing the top or bottom; compared to frequent trading, this mindset is definitely much calmer.
---
The experience gained from ten years of pitfalls is worth learning from, much more reliable than hitting the wall yourself.
---
The power of compound interest is really underestimated, but the key is self-discipline.
---
Understanding structure and volume—this logic I have a bit of grasp on, it just needs time to be validated.
---
Remaining calm with small daily profits really feels less刺激 than all-in, but it allows you to live longer.
---
This methodology sounds simple, but the biggest challenge during execution is the mental test.
