In 2025, I completed my turnaround with my last 10,000U loan, and my final account reached 1.65 million U. This is not a motivational story, but a trading system summary gained through six years of experiencing margin calls, online loans, and debts, paid with blood and tears.

Many people ask me how I did it. To be honest, there’s no secret—just treating trading as a job rather than gambling. Today, I’ll break down this methodology into three parts to share with you, hoping to help you avoid detours that take years.

**Part 1: The Iron Triangle of Market Judgment**

The first step in trading is understanding the market direction. Most people like to look at 1-minute charts for short-term trades, but that’s like using a magnifying glass to see terrain—you can’t see the whole picture. My approach is: focus on the 4-hour and daily charts, dividing the market into three states.

If bullish candles keep breaking previous highs, that’s an uptrend, and you should only go long. Once bearish candles break bottoms consecutively, establishing a downtrend, only short. If prices oscillate back and forth, do nothing—wait for a clear direction before acting.

Next, identify key levels. Price is like a trampoline—bouncing at support levels and pulling back at resistance levels. This isn’t mysticism but market consensus. I usually use three methods to find these levels: previous highs and lows (drawing horizontal lines), Fibonacci retracement levels (a mathematical tool), and major liquidation points (checking liquidation data).

After confirming the main trend and key levels, use smaller timeframes to catch specific entry points. When the daily confirms an uptrend, I switch to the 15-minute chart for signals. If MACD shows a bullish crossover with increased volume, or the price breaks the downtrend line, or a long lower shadow appears with volume doubling, any two of these signals typically prompt me to enter.

**Part 2: The 8 Survival Rules for Traders**

With a method to judge the trend, the next step is strict execution—this is the reason 90% of traders fail—they know what to do but can’t do it.

First, choosing coins is crucial. I only trade BTC and ETH; I don’t touch other altcoins, no matter how tempting. These two have the best liquidity and most transparent information, making them suitable for systematic trading.

Second, control your position size. I risk no more than 5% of my total account on each trade. Even if I lose 10 consecutive times, I still have 50% of my capital left.

Third, always set stop-loss. If the price drops more than 3% below support, I exit immediately. Many are reluctant to cut losses and end up forced to add margin, which is like giving away money.

Fourth, set a risk-reward ratio. My target is 3:1—meaning I take profit at 30,000 when risking 10,000. It may seem like giving up profits, but in the long run, this strategy yields the highest win rate.

Fifth, pay attention to trading hours. The 3 to 5 am period is prone to manipulation, so I generally avoid trading then.

Sixth, always have a backup plan. Market changes happen fast; when the first plan fails, switch to a second. Don’t get confused by market volatility.

Seventh, review daily. I record three lessons from each day’s trades, whether profit or loss, to understand why I did what I did.

Eighth, discipline is key. After losses, I force myself to shut down for 2 hours to avoid emotional decisions.

**Part 3: The Three Bottom Lines for Survival**

Finally, these three points are the real rules to keep you alive in the market.

First, never chase highs or sell lows. When BTC suddenly surges 10%, and everyone starts celebrating, that’s exactly when I reduce my holdings. Most people buy at the top and get cut, which is the most common way to die.

Second, the entry point always matters more than anything. I’d rather miss 100 opportunities than enter at the wrong position. Many rush in whenever there’s a trend, but that risk-reward ratio is poor.

Third, cultivate the right mindset. After several profitable trades, I forcibly withdraw 50% of the profits to prevent giving it back. If a margin call occurs, I delete trading apps for 3 days to calm down. Every day, I remind myself: only by staying alive can I keep producing.

There are indeed people in crypto making big money, but there’s no myth of instant wealth—only the dead talk about luck. I started with 200,000U, experienced devastating losses, and finally turned 10,000U into 1.65 million U, relying on this system and absolute discipline.

Remember: 10,000U itself isn’t scary; what’s truly dangerous is operating with the wrong methods 10,000 times. If you’re still confused, read these three parts repeatedly, then strictly follow the rules in live trading.
