#大户持仓动态 has been crawling and rolling in the crypto world for eight years, and I have a vivid memory coordinate in my mind - 2017, the year of the altcoins, an incredibly wild bull year.

At that time, I set my sights on $ADA, starting to accumulate from a low of $0.03 over several purchases. Who would have thought that, in just three months, it surged to $1.20. The numbers in my account began to fluctuate wildly—my unrealized gains multiplied nearly 40 times.

Every day, the first thing I do when I open my eyes is check the market. I focus on those numbers with increasing zeros behind them, and my mind is already planning: this amount of money is enough to buy a house in the city outright. The dream seems to be within reach.

But I was too greedy and never really pressed the sell button.

Then it came. $ADA started plummeting, like falling off a cliff, crashing all the way down to $0.2. The floating profits disappeared like spring snow, and 80% of the profits evaporated in an instant, shattering the dream of buying a house. It was at that moment I understood: being able to buy is not a skill; the real players are tested on how to sell.

This lesson was bought with real money. Later, I devised a method that is particularly suitable for ordinary investors who cannot watch the market all day.

**I have used this ladder take-profit logic for many years:**

When a coin rises from $1 to $2, I first get rid of 30% of my position. The benefit of doing this is that the principal is basically safe again, and no matter how the remaining position fluctuates later, my mindset is already stable—after all, the worst that can happen is just a loss of unrealized gains.

Continue to rise, and when it reaches $3, I'll reduce my holdings by another 30%. For the remaining 40%, I will set a trailing stop-loss—if the price drops 15% from the highest point, I will liquidate everything. This way, I can capture the gains from the main upward trend while ensuring that I secure the profits and won't give everything back with a reversal.

**I have a strict rule about stop-loss:**

The loss of any transaction will definitely not exceed 5% of the total principal. The moment I buy, I immediately place a stop-loss order, setting a -10% stop-loss line. It’s like giving each transaction an insurance.

Some people are worried that they will miss the rebound opportunity. But in reality, there are plenty of opportunities in the crypto world; they are always there. The key is to not lose all your capital—once your capital is gone, the chance to turn things around is completely lost.

Over the past eight years, I have seen too many stories of overnight wealth and watched even more people lose their savings on the roller coaster of ups and downs. Those who ultimately manage to exit with profits are all, without exception, people with particularly strong discipline. They do not rely on luck; they rely on systems and execution.

The essence of the crypto world is simply this: strictly adhere to the rules, keep the risks under control, and profits will naturally follow.
