#加密生态动态追踪 From investing 5,000 yuan to now being able to support myself with this—my experiences over the past few years have given me clarity on many things. I've heard countless "get rich overnight" stories in the market, but most people end up jumping from high buildings in the end. I don't have any secret; I just used a "dumb method," crawling out of the pile of newbies through sheer persistence.

What is my current state? I can consistently achieve over 50% annual returns without staying up all night watching the charts, and my mindset isn't one of thrill and panic. No background, no inside information, no big shots pulling strings—just a deep understanding of the market and a reverence for risk. If you ask for practical tips, I do have a set of insights worth sharing, especially for beginners—helping them avoid years of unnecessary detours.

**First, the three bottom lines for survival**

The first is time. Trade after 9 PM—this is not just talking casually. During the daytime, the market is easily misled by false information; short-term volatility is high, and it's easy to get cut. At night, the trend becomes much clearer, and you can see the real direction. Entering at this time can double your win rate. Many people didn't believe it at first, but later they did.

The second is taking profits quickly. As soon as you make a profit, transfer it to your bank account immediately—really. The numbers in your account look big, but that’s not real money—only when it hits your card does it count. My usual rhythm is to take out $300 once I earn $1,000, and let the rest roll over. Every Friday, I withdraw 30% of the weekly profit, and reinvest the remaining. This habit has saved me many times because it ensures I always have actual cash in hand.

The third is to focus only on indicators, not feelings. Beginners most easily fall into the trap of trading based on "feelings"—feeling that one coin will rise, feeling that another will fall. What happens? They end up losing so badly they doubt life itself. The correct approach is to watch for MACD gold and death crosses, RSI overbought and oversold zones, Bollinger Bands squeezing and breaking out—all at the same time. At least two signals pointing in the same direction before making a move.

**A quick tactic during sideways consolidation**

Sideways markets are the most annoying and easiest to get trapped in. But conversely, if you can catch the repeated oscillations, it’s actually an opportunity for quick gains. I use a 10-minute level trading rule: entry must meet three conditions simultaneously:

First, RSI below 30—this is the boundary of the oversold zone, indicating heavy selling pressure and a rebound is imminent. Second, the price must stabilize above a short-term resistance level, at least three 10-minute candles—don't just tap and go. Third, volume must be over three times the average, indicating that this rebound has strength.

Once in, keep leverage at 1-2x; no more. In these four years, I rolled from 500,000 yuan to 25 million yuan, never exceeding 2x leverage. That’s not conservative—it’s a living rule. If a beginner starts with more than 5x leverage? Memorize the words "stop loss" first. When taking profits, don’t be greedy—sell 20% of your position after earning 15% to reduce risk. When RSI exceeds 70, cut all positions immediately.

**Left side vs. right side, choosing wrong means losing**

There are two ways to enter trades. The left side is aggressive—entering before confirming the trend. The risk-to-reward ratio is high but win rate unstable, testing your mindset. The right side is safer—waiting for trend confirmation before acting. The win rate is much higher, but returns aren’t exaggerated. My consistent advice for beginners is to start practicing from the right side; once you can steadily make profits, then explore the left side. Staying alive is 100 times more important than making quick big money.

**Four pitfalls to avoid**

First, never use leverage over 10x; beginners should keep it within 5x. Second, stay away from obscure or unfamiliar altcoins—they are nine out of ten likely scams or pump-and-dump schemes. Third, limit yourself to three trades per day; more than that easily leads to overtrading, especially during streaks of losses. Fourth, and most importantly—never borrow money to trade crypto. That’s gambling with your own life.

**Final words**

There are too many big swings in the crypto world. Money made by luck often gets lost again through skill—this pattern has never been an exception. Those who earn steadily over the long term always prioritize risk control and survival. The crypto market indeed offers opportunities, but the prerequisite is: learn to survive first.
