#加密生态动态追踪 When I first entered the crypto world in 2022, I was also a rookie, chasing hot trends and riding the ups and downs. As a result, I lost several thousand USD in half a year. The market's lesson was quite expensive, but later I gradually figured out a way to survive. Today, I want to share the methodologies that helped me stop the bleeding and eventually turn losses into profits.
**1. Survival Comes First**
Divide your capital into five parts, only trade one part at a time, and set a 10% stop-loss for each trade. This way, even if I lose five times in a row, the total loss is only 10%. Conversely, once profits exceed 10%, start taking profits in batches and never hold onto losing positions. Sounds conservative? But in a volatile market, this approach really saves lives.
**2. Always Follow the Main Trend**
Counter-trend rebounds are like catching flying knives; whether you get hurt depends on luck. My approach is to only trade in clear trending directions—when moving averages are in a bullish alignment, look for pullback levels to go long; when in a bearish alignment, wait for rebounds to go short. If the trend isn't clear, stay out.
**3. Beware of Explosive Coins**
Coins that double in a week are mostly traps; pump-and-dump schemes are just for unloading. No matter how tempting, you must resist, because staying alive is more important than making quick money.
**4. Stick to Your Plan During Trading**
Before opening a position, write down your stop-loss and take-profit levels. Once entered, ignore the screen. If the stop-loss is triggered and the market reverses, accept it—it's just tuition, not your money. This mindset keeps me calm.
**5. Learn to "Not Trade"**
If you don't understand, take a break. Most of the crypto market is sideways and volatile. I prefer to wait for opportunities where I can see clearly what to do, rather than frequently trading on fuzzy signals.
**6. Review After Each Trade**
After each trade, write down two simple questions—why did I enter? What was the result? Over time, your weaknesses will surface, making it easier to improve.
**7. Compound Interest Is More Powerful Than Speed**
Don't aim to double your money today. Find a stable method to earn small profits, then rely on compound growth. Time will naturally bring you surprises.
Opportunities in the crypto space are never lacking; what’s missing are those who can survive long enough. First, survive, and only then will you have the qualification to talk about making money.

Stop-loss — I didn't believe in it at first, but now I find it really effective. Even after losing five times in a row, I still survived and won.
If you don't understand, just don't move. I need to engrain this in my mind, it saved me a lot of unnecessary expenses.
I always directly cross out coins that skyrocket; those aren't opportunities, they're sickles.
Reviewing is truly essential. Writing a couple of sentences about why I entered and what the result was, after sticking to it for a while, all my pitfalls are exposed.
I've already adopted the five-position system; compared to a full gamble mentality, it's definitely much more stable.

That's right, survival is the key. I previously lost a lot by chasing after skyrocketing coins. Now I don't touch anything, just stick to compound interest and let it grow slowly.
---
The 10% stop-loss trick I’m using now is much better than frequently cutting losses before.
---
Really, if you don’t understand, don’t make a move. This is a lesson I learned after spending thousands of dollars.
---
Reviewing your trades is so crucial. It took me three months to realize where my weaknesses are.
---
Rebound and getting hit with a flying knife, I can now dodge if I can. Losing a little opportunity is better than getting liquidated.
---
I ignore coins that double in a week; greed really can be deadly.
---
When the market is sideways, I take a break. Wait for clear signals before jumping in, saving on fees and peace of mind.
---
Survive first. This phrase is the most straightforward and powerful. The crypto world desperately needs people with this kind of clarity.
---
Writing a trading journal may sound troublesome, but it quickly exposes your bad habits. It’s worth it.

Ah, you're absolutely right. Living is the most important thing. I used to be frequently trading and got cut so badly.
---
The five-part principal method is truly awesome, a hundred times better than my reckless all-in.
---
I only now realize that not trading is the way to go. Before, I just couldn't sit still and wanted to copy everything I saw.
---
Reviewing and reflecting is something you must stick to. I do it every week now and realize I’ve really developed a pattern.
---
Don't touch coins that are skyrocketing; this advice is based on blood and U experience.
---
"Survive first, then talk about making money"—this is a phrase I need to engrain in my mind.
---
The analogy of catching flying knives against the trend is perfect. I was cut like that last year.
---
A 10% stop-loss is indeed safer, but it’s psychologically difficult to accept.
---
Following the trend is easier said than done; I still often get the direction wrong.
---
Compound interest really takes time; it’s not like a margin call that happens quickly.
