Many people say that Cryptocurrency Trading relies on luck, but that's not true. From getting liquidated to turning things around, there are patterns to follow.



First, let's talk about capital management—this is the first prerequisite for survival. Divide the principal into 5 parts and only use one-fifth to enter the market each time. This way, even if you make 5 mistakes in a row, the total loss will only be 10% of the principal. Set the stop-loss at 10 points and the take-profit at above 10 points, allowing the account to last longer. Yes, it's that simple and straightforward.

Let's talk about the trend-following issue. In a downtrend, every rebound is a good opportunity to trap people, while in an uptrend, every sell-off is paving the way for a gold mine. The problem is that many people get the direction wrong, resulting in repeated mistakes. Mainstream coins like $ETH followed this logic in previous years, experiencing several waves of major upward trends. However, coins that have surged sharply in the short term find it difficult to reach new highs again – they stagnate at high levels, cannot be driven up further, and naturally get slammed down.

How to look at the technical aspect? MACD is a good tool. When the DIF and DEA cross upwards below the 0 axis and then stand above the 0 axis, that is a relatively stable entry signal. Conversely, if a death cross forms above the 0 axis and moves downwards, then it should be considered to reduce the position.

The biggest pitfall - averaging down. How many people want to add to their positions when they're losing, and end up losing even more, only to regret it after getting liquidated? Averaging down while in a loss is like committing suicide with a knife. It should be the other way around; you should add to your positions when you're making a profit, as that's the correct logic for positive compounding.

The trading volume determines the authenticity of the trend. Pay close attention to coins like $LIGHT and $NIGHT when there is a breakout with increased volume during consolidation at low levels, but when there is increased volume during stagnation at high levels, it is essential to exit decisively, as this is a high-risk signal.

There is a simple standard for selecting coins: only trade in an upward trend, it requires less effort and has a higher success rate. A 3-day moving average turning upward is a short-term signal, a 30-day upward is a medium-term opportunity, an 84-day upward is the real main upward wave, and a 120-day upward indicates the start of a long cycle.

The last point – you must review after each trade. Does the logic of holding coins still hold? Has the weekly K-line trend deviated from the original intention? Has the trend changed? Timely adjustments are necessary to survive longer in this market.

To put it bluntly, I'm afraid of Margin Replenishment; this thing can blow people up. Increasing position when profitable and reducing position when losing, is it that hard? Dividing funds into 5 parts sounds cliché but it's really useful. I've stepped into traps with MACD death cross too many times; now it just makes me uncomfortable to look at. The main rise isn't that easy to catch; I usually just go along with the 120-day line. This set of theories sounds simple, but sticking to it is hell. High position with higher trade volumes and stagnation is truly a mirror to expose the truth; how many times have I been trapped like this. When choosing coins, pick those with an upward trend; everything else is gambling. Most people can't do the review thing; I haven't stuck to it many times either. It seems easy to set a stop loss at 10 o'clock, but when it comes to the position, it's hard to let go.

To be honest, the part about Margin Replenishment hits hard, I've seen too many people keep averaging down in a fall and end up in a bad situation. ``` The five-point method of capital management sounds simple, but very few actually execute it; most still go all in with one gamble. ``` The MACD golden cross and death cross system has been used for so many years and is still quite useful, but the premise is to have discipline. When there is higher trade volumes at high positions and a stagnation in price, it's time to run; this rule has really saved my life, no kidding. The habit of reviewing trades is crucial; many people are unwilling to admit they were wrong, resulting in making the same mistakes over and over.

It's this trap theory again, I've listened to it five times now... but honestly, the Margin Replenishment part hit home for me, I've had several waves explode just like that. --- The five-part capital management sounds simple, but in practice, it's still easy to mess it up; one涨停 and I want to all in. --- I've tried this MACD golden cross pattern and death cross before, I've made money and lost money, but in the end, I realized I still have to watch the big market's mood. --- Stop loss of 10 points, why do I feel like I'm always being precisely washed, and then it turns back... --- Reviewing is really important, but how many people can stick to doing this? --- Profit to increase the position, loss to Margin Replenishment, this logic is sound, but how to do it without being greedy? That's the real challenge.
