Over the years in the crypto world, I've seen many people, and the ending of losses is often surprisingly similar: chasing after hot tips, following the herd to buy or sell, holding on stubbornly when it’s going south, and in the end only able to say "Just a little more." The problem is, it’s never the market trend that’s the issue; it’s that you never make it to the moment when the next opportunity appears.

Especially when your principal is less than 10,000 yuan, your ideas tend to be the most naive. It’s not that you’re not working hard or not smart enough; frankly, it’s because your capital simply can’t withstand your reckless operations. The primary goal is only one: don’t die. Don’t get liquidated or go to zero. Slowly snowball your gains, and there’s a future to talk about.

I’ve developed a set of methods that may sound unflashy, even a bit stupid, but they help you firmly resist the urge to act impulsively or get overly excited. Many people have relied on it to turn small money into big money.

**Step 1: Get the direction right**
I only look at the daily trend. I enter the market after confirming indicators; everything else is just noise. You’re not here to gamble on the bottom; you’re here to follow the trend and pick out certain profits.

**Step 2: Hold on tight**
Hold patiently as long as the price stays above the trend line; once it breaks, exit immediately. No hesitation, no fantasies. Discipline is far more valuable than so-called predictions.

**Step 3: Have a basis for action**
Only act on volume breakthroughs; a rise without volume is likely a trap to lure in traders. Take profits in stages once you’ve made money—don’t obsess over selling at the highest point— that’s luck that ordinary traders shouldn’t rely on. The bottom line is: if it breaks, get out. No waiting, no guessing, no self-soothing. Missing the move isn’t deadly; holding on blindly is.

Ultimately, this logic boils down to one sentence: admit that you are very ordinary, and honestly earn money from the trend. It won’t make you rich overnight, but it will prevent you from repeatedly getting liquidated or constantly being taught lessons by the market. Opportunities are always there; only disciplined people can seize them.

If you want to make money, follow the rules; if you want to gamble, don’t blame the market. Trading isn’t a dream—real trading is the only standard to test everything.
