I have to come clean about something: I now make a stable profit of 1000U to 3000U every day, and it’s not due to insider information or luck, but because I’ve completely eliminated the "gambling" feeling from trading.
Rewinding to the darkest days last year—when my account dropped to 1800U—I couldn’t sleep at 2 or 3 a.m., eyes glued to the 1-minute candlestick chart. A slight tremor of my finger and I’d be closing positions, even a small 60U stop-loss would make me panic and lose my mind. Trying to recover losses only made me more anxious, and eventually I was afraid to even have the trading app on my main phone screen, worried I’d lose control the moment I opened it.
At that point, I decided to hit the brakes. I took a whole month to step back and split my trading system into four core parts:
**Position control is the first line of defense**—divide your capital into ten parts, only trade one part at a time. Even if you lose everything, there’s still a chance to bounce back. This move completely killed the idea of all-in gambling and cut risks at the source.
**Be firm in chart analysis**—focus only on the daily chart’s EMA20 and EMA55 lines. When they form a golden cross, go long; when they form a death cross, go short. Block out all noise below the hourly chart. Don’t listen to others’ calls—stick to this logic.
**Stop-loss is not a suggestion, it’s discipline**—set a 2.5% stop-loss at the moment of entry. Even when sleeping, remind yourself it could trigger at any time. Feel that pure "come in with nothing, come out with nothing" mentality—no room for psychological games like "wait a bit longer."
**Take profits and split them out**—once profits exceed 500U, immediately transfer 200U to your bank account. Out of sight, out of mind; your account will never go to zero overnight.
With these four strategies, I turned 1800U into 60,000U in three months. Now, my daily routine is just one or two trades; 1000U is the baseline, and when the market moves favorably, 3000U isn’t rare. I log out promptly at 11 p.m. and sleep soundly.
In the crypto world, effort is never lacking; what’s missing is using the right approach to put in that effort. Quit gambling with your emotions, manage your positions well, treat stop-loss as a skill, and the market will gradually bow to you. Stop rushing blindly in the dark—take control into your own hands.

To be honest, these four rules really hit the point; position management is truly a matter of life and death.
But I still want to ask, going from 1800 to 60,000 in three months... has this return rate been backtested and verified? It feels too smooth.
How was the 2.5% stop-loss figure determined? Is it based on account size or adjusted according to the volatility of the coin?
The phrase "sleep peacefully" really resonated with me. I used to wake up in the middle of the night in panic, but now I finally understand what true trading discipline means.
Has this system been tested in a bear market? It seems like just two EMA lines on the daily chart—could that be too simplistic?
