#数字货币市场洞察 What is the most fatal trading method? Going all-in with your entire position.
The volatility of the crypto market can make you rich overnight, but it can also wipe out your account in an instant. I’ve seen too many people fall at the last dip of a bull market pullback, quitting the scene for good.
Last year, I met a trader whose account had only 3000U left. He asked me if there was still hope. I said yes, but you have to follow this plan: split the money into three parts.
The first part, 1000U, is just for quick intraday trades. Each day, focus on a single signal—sell as soon as you’re up 4%, never get greedy. This may seem conservative, but it’s actually about accumulating small wins and turning certainty into compounding returns.
The second part, 1000U, is for real opportunities. What counts as a real opportunity? For example, when a major asset crashes 30% and the market is in panic mode—enter a swing trade then, and getting a 60% return in two months isn’t a fantasy, it’s a probability. The key is not to stare at the screen every day; if the trend is unclear, do nothing.
The third part, 1000U, you must not touch. This is your psychological defense and your capital bottom line. As long as there’s always this money in your account, you’ll have the courage to pull the trigger when it’s time, and you won’t hesitate to cut losses when needed.
Ninety percent of the time, the market just grinds sideways, wearing people down. If you act without reason, you’re just paying fees. What should you wait for? Wait for key breakouts, wait for support levels to hold—only act when the odds are in your favor. When you’re up 50%, withdraw 30% to lock in profits, and roll the remaining money with light positions. I’ve seen too many people add positions after making gains, only to lose it all back.
Emotions are a trader’s worst enemy. Set three iron rules: cut losses if you’re down 2%, reduce your position immediately if you’re up 4%, and never average down to lower your cost. One more tip—switch your trading app to gray mode and limit the number of times you check the market each day. The less you see the red and green flashing, the cooler your decisions will be.
Surviving in this market is more important than getting rich quick. Going all-in is basically betting the market will go your way, but the market never listens to anyone. Do less, wait for your moment, stick to your discipline—that’s how you make it to the end.

To be honest, the case of coming back to life with 3000U is a bit too idealized... It's really hard to have such strong self-discipline in actual practice.
Splitting into three portions sounds good, but how many people can actually withstand it? As soon as the market drops, your mindset collapses.
The gray interface trick is indeed clever, but I still switch back to color to sneak a look... It's basically just deceiving myself.

The three-part split sounds good, but to be honest, most people still can't control themselves.
You're right, people who add positions as soon as they profit are usually the first to lose everything.
I need to try the gray interface trick—red and green really can drive you crazy.
Going all in is pure gambling; the market won't go up just because you went all in.
90% of the time is spent waiting, and that's the hardest part—everyone wants to trade every day.

Sounds reasonable, but like I said before, most people simply can't achieve discipline. When your hands start shaking while watching the charts, any three-part plan goes out the window.
---
This three-part method is basically teaching people not to be greedy, but unfortunately, greed is written into our DNA.
---
The gray interface trick is genius. I'm going to try it right now, so I won't get brainwashed by those green K-lines and go all in.
---
I agree with the 2% stop-loss rule, but when the moment comes, who actually has the heart to do it? Every time I think, "Just wait a bit longer, it'll bounce back."
---
No matter how good it sounds, it still comes down to self-control, and that's even more scarce than capital.
---
People who go all-in are basically newcomers, fresh "chives" just entering the market. After losing a few times, you'll naturally understand. The tuition isn't cheap, right?
---
Taking 30% profit off the table is something I've learned; it's definitely better than watching profits evaporate before your eyes.
---
The line about the market moving sideways 90% of the time really hits home. So many people lose out just waiting during that period.
---
People who actually split their money into three parts already have stronger mental resilience than 80% of traders.
---
This story sounds like it's about someone else, but most likely, it's about myself.

This guy is right, going all-in is asking for trouble.
These are all painful lessons learned firsthand.
I need to try that grayscale interface trick—it's too easy to get tempted by all those reds and greens.
The three-account method sounds simple, but it must take a lot of self-control to actually do it.
That last sentence really hit me: surviving is definitely more realistic than getting rich overnight.
