# Cryptocurrency Trading Golden Rules: Remember these to avoid pitfalls in trading! If you want to trade cryptocurrencies without losing money, engrave these rules in your heart!
1⃣ Buy horizontally and avoid verticals; sell when it’s bustling. 2⃣ Continuous small rises are true rises; take profits when there’s a big gain. 3⃣ Pullbacks are normal; avoid deep pits and heavy positions. 4⃣ Accelerated main rises are nearing peaks; sell quickly during sharp drops and be steady during slow rises. 5⃣ Sharp drops with low volume are tests; slow declines with high volume require quick withdrawal. 6⃣ When the price breaks through the life line, band operations are essential. 7⃣ Combine daily and monthly lines to see the main forces clearly. 8⃣ If the price rises without support, be cautious of the main forces trying to lure in buyers. 9⃣ A new low with reduced volume indicates a bottom; increased volume on recovery means re-entering the market.
# Warning! Major good news has been realized, tonight is the true danger zone—don’t wait for the market to teach you how to behave Interest rate cut by 25 basis points? The good news has long been digested by the market; the end of tapering on December 1? The moment the news came out, it was immediately priced in! The real thunder lies in whether “the rate will be cut in December, by how much, and whether it meets market expectations”!
Do you remember the last round of scripts? On the day of the rate cut in September, a single big bearish line shattered all illusions! History never replicates itself, but it always plays out in the same rhythm repeatedly.
Currently, BTC and ETH have already given the clearest signal: two consecutive days of strong pullbacks have exhausted all optimistic sentiment, and then it begins to fall back—this is not a turning point at all, but a zone of volatility, resembling “a deep breath before the storm”! The switching of long and short positions, emotional digestion, and proximity of data, all signals are shouting: the most dangerous thing is not the bad news, but “after the good news is realized, there are no new good news”!
The core of making money in the crypto circle has always been six words: buy expectations, sell facts! Now that expectations are fully priced in, the facts will soon be revealed—if they fall short of expectations, the sell-off will happen in an instant; if they exceed expectations, those that should rise will not be vague.
Starting tonight, it’s the time to dance on the edge of the knife: the cautious will watch with light positions, the bold will wait for the right moment to ambush, and the worst off are those unprepared who still want to gamble blindly! Remember: the market is not about understanding to make money; it’s about standing in the right position in advance to make money. In the next two days, you only need to do one thing—wait!
Discovered a particularly cruel fact! Just flipped through a lot of altcoins and finally saw the truth: After reaching the peak in December 2024, for a whole year until December 2025, over 90% of altcoins will fall apart, except for a few leading coins and those with real stories – a drop of 3-5 times is considered a 'lucky one', while most will drop 7-10 times or more, it's so tragic it’s hard to look at!
Friends who have held altcoins for a year are definitely facing losses of 5-10 times, just thinking about it is painful. What’s even more lamentable is that apart from the black swan crash on 10.11 (when 1.64 million people were liquidated, and many coins nearly went to zero), the total decline over the year has almost caught up with the impact of that day!
I truly wonder: Who has actually made money from the evaporated funds this year? And who has quietly withdrawn liquidity from the market? Clearly, there are projects like XRP and Solana that are supported by favorable regulations or technological upgrades, but the vast majority of altcoins still fall without any ability to fight back, and the flow of funds behind this is truly baffling...
🚨 Breaking News: Russia's gold reserves have hit a record in modern history, surpassing $300 billion for the first time! This unprecedented move has shaken global markets, and can be considered a quietly accumulated "secret vault"—Russia has been steadily increasing its gold holdings, adding more each month, and now the world is holding its breath to speculate on its next move.
More importantly, gold now accounts for 42% of Russia's foreign exchange reserves, the highest proportion since 1995. Against the backdrop of soaring global gold prices, experts warn that this massive reserve could reshape the global power landscape in unexpected ways.
It is important to note that Russia has been diversifying its foreign exchange reserves for years by increasing gold holdings and reducing U.S. Treasury bonds to hedge against sanction risks, and this strategy has now taken shape. This structural adjustment not only impacts the existing monetary system but could also trigger a chain reaction.
All parties are closely watching, especially President Trump's subsequent reaction—his stance could further stir the global financial market. After all, the dramatic increase in gold reserves has never been merely an asset allocation; it is underpinned by deep geopolitical and monetary power games. $LUNA $LUNC $ACE
In fact, everyone's choice is a vote for this world.
Investing in ultra-high-rise residential buildings above 50 floors, paying for garbage movies, chasing high garbage stocks and shoddy cryptocurrencies—these seemingly personal decisions are essentially prolonging the existence of unreasonable things.
To be honest, ultra-high-rises above 50 floors should not exist at all, and garbage films, garbage stocks, and air coins should be thrown into the trash can. But precisely because countless people are willing to spend money, they manage to survive and even proliferate.
This kind of indulgence will eventually backfire. Just like in an avalanche, no snowflake is innocent.
Duan Yongping back then thought Beijing had no future and decisively moved to the south; when the boss of Little Emperor did not fulfill his equity promises, he immediately created BBK himself. If he were born in Hong Kong and couldn't afford a house, he would probably have fled back to the mainland long ago.
But in reality, many Hong Kong people work hard their entire lives just to save money to buy a tiny place. Such a tragedy is really not worthy of sympathy. Hong Kong capitalists are indeed despicable, deliberately controlling land to drive up housing prices, but they cannot resist countless people willingly becoming "worker ants," adding bricks to this distorted housing price—together they shape this twisted environment, so no one can claim to be innocent.
Apart from the controlled scam parks in Northern Myanmar, most of the time, people have the right to choose. You can decide where to stay, who to pay for, and what to support.
Complaining about suffering while refusing to leave—sorry, but you are part of the suffering you are shaping.
I know I am just a small ordinary person, my power is minimal, and I cannot compete with those big figures. But I have always been vigilant about my choices and actions—no matter how insignificant, every decision I make is participating in shaping this world.
No matter how others choose or act, I will first take care of myself: I will never let my choices become a vote that nourishes a distorted, garbage world.
Will China loosen restrictions on cryptocurrencies in the future? This is a question that many people are concerned about.
Looking back at the 1980s, many young men and women were sentenced to prison or even executed for so-called 'hooliganism,' while many of those actions would hardly be considered a crime today. Times change; what is rejected today may often be accepted in the future and even become a trend. The survival of cryptocurrencies to this day is not due to speculative hype but rather because they genuinely address the security and efficiency issues of cross-border transactions and meet the objective demands of the global gray economy and dark web economy—these are underlying logics that no country can simply dismiss.
So why is there a strong crackdown now? It's not that cryptocurrencies themselves are bad, but the current economic structure does not allow it.
Simply put: domestic asset prices are much higher than those abroad, creating a huge pressure for capital outflow under capital controls; and the economy is in a downturn, relying on credit expansion to support asset prices. However, cryptocurrencies are like putting a hole directly in an asset bubble, accelerating capital flight, which poses a 'detonator' to financial security, hence the need for strict regulation.
When domestic asset bubbles clear in the future and the price difference between domestic and foreign assets narrows, the pressure for capital outflow will diminish, and the internationalization of the RMB will naturally continue to advance. At that stage, aligning with global trends, loosening restrictions on cryptocurrencies or even opening them up will be quite normal.
The key is that we are currently in the 'balance sheet recession' cycle as described by Gu Zhaoming. Since 2021, debt-driven growth has reached its limit; taking on more debt will instead hinder growth. This has led to corporate deleveraging, declining housing prices, and local government debt crises—these issues cannot be resolved in just a year or two. Japan took from 1991 to 2006 to recover from its collapse, and we are also facing problems such as global recession, declining population, and supply chain outflows, so the recovery period will only be longer.
Therefore, the conclusion is very clear: for a long time to come, cryptocurrencies will not be loosened in China. It's not that the direction is wrong; it's just that the timing isn't right.
The overall trend will not change; it's merely a matter of the pace.
I am just an honest土狗——no background, no resources, and my emotional intelligence is offline, relying purely on sheer determination, I have brought my KOL to 36K followers. Not too impressive, but perhaps it has some reference value for ordinary people.
A farmer's child, I have studied for a few days, learned some skills for a few years, and even had a master; after crawling through the crypto world for so long, I have done trading teaching, made money, and lost money, definitely a seasoned player. By accident, I stumbled into the crypto world and even fell into the ZJP trap; luckily, I made some profits in digital currencies, but eventually lost it all in a muddle. Usually, during busy farming seasons, I go home to farm, and during the rest of the time, I keep an eye on the market to trade.
Everyone says a KOL should have their own style. At first, I wanted to ride the Alpha wave and play with毛板块, but in 2023, after a year of playing, I lost 7000U. Later, I realized that instead of always trading, I should focus on sharing this aspect.
My creative journey is nothing grand, all are straightforward, clumsy methods: 1. Every day, I go to X to gather information and follow financial bloggers for the latest news; 2. I love to follow反骨时事博主, I myself have 100斤反骨, which just fits my temperament; 3. Market sharing is written in a fanciful manner, spanning five thousand years and traversing eighty thousand miles, I say whatever comes to mind, no pretenses; 4. I call trades directly without beating around the bush—don’t talk to me about technical patterns,缠论, or K-line momentum; retail investors just want to know if this coin will rise, and what the take-profit and stop-loss levels are; simple and brutal is the most effective; 5.擦边 (those who understand, understand); 6. I believe in karma, and have never thought about cutting韭菜; when I see others cutting韭菜, I can’t help but curse a few times, filled with righteous indignation; 7. Often rely on AI to fill in the gaps; if I don’t understand something, I ask; I dare not stop the pace of growth; 8. There are no shortcuts; it’s about outputting consistently every day, striving harder and harder; 9. Never cling to others, not flattering to those above me, nor neglectful to those below me, living openly; 10. Every day I talk nonsense, not holding back; I’m as real as it gets.
This is me, a土狗, I can’t compare with those great gods; I just hope these ramblings can offer a little help to friends who want to create in the square. $BTC
Staring at the "0" in my account in the dead of night, unable to even order a 15-dollar takeout—this is the true state of me after three liquidation events in the crypto world.
From losing everything to now making stable profits every month, I didn’t rely on "magical trades"; I only depended on 7 ironclad rules forged with real money: In the first year, learn to cut losses; in the second year, practice defense; only in the third year can I say I've truly made money!
### 1. Split the principal into 5 parts, survival comes first Don’t throw all your money in at once; only use 1 part each time. If a single trade loses more than 10%, cut it immediately—holding on will only deepen your losses. As long as you stay alive, you’ll have a chance to turn things around.
### 2. The market doesn’t listen to “feelings”, only follow the trend If it’s strong, follow it; if it’s weak, lay down. Even taking a walk with the dog is better than making random trades during sideways markets! The market is much clearer than you; don’t argue with it.
### 3. Stay away from “three times a day tokens” Those tokens that triple in a day are all bait set by the big players; if you rush in, you’re just the one left holding the bag. Real profitable markets quietly start when you’re not making reckless moves.
### 4. Keep indicators few and precise, don’t be greedy Look at the structure with candlesticks, strength with volume, and direction with trendlines. A screen cluttered with indicators will only confuse you; a clear mind helps you avoid pitfalls.
### 5. Cut losses sharply, secure profits steadily Don’t average down when it drops; the more you add, the deeper you’ll get stuck. When it rises, increase your position, and secure the profits. This is the hard truth of trading, don’t get it twisted.
### 6. Look at volume and price together, don’t be fooled by prices A breakout on high volume indicates bullish strength; high volume without price increase indicates the big players are exiting. Volume never lies; prices are just a deceptive smokescreen.
### 7. Daily review for 3 minutes is more effective than random trading Write down your entry logic, exit reasons, and mistakes. Stick to it for a month, and all bad trading habits will be exposed. Correcting them brings you one step closer to making money.
The crypto world is not short of smart people wanting to make quick money; what’s lacking are the "foolish people" who follow the rules. You can win for a moment based on feelings, but only by maintaining discipline can you win for a lifetime. My current steady profits are entirely due to engraving these 7 rules in my heart and putting them into action.
If you often stumble and face liquidations, why not practice reviewing and maintaining discipline with me—crypto is not a casino; take it slow, and you can go far.
Someone used 1200U, rolled to 38,000U in 3 months without blowing up the account, do you think it's luck? You're terribly mistaken!
The cryptocurrency world is not a casino; it's a battlefield of intellect. Especially for brothers with less than 2000U in capital, don't rush in. Listen to my honest words: I have guided many people, seen overnight wealth, and also seen overnight losses. But my followers, relying on strong logic, have managed to upgrade from a low-end car to an Audi.
Back in the day, I turned 10,000U into eight figures, all relying on this strategy. Today, I'll share it with you for free:
### First Move: Diversification is Life, Full Investment is Death Don't lump 1200U into one; split it into three parts: 400U for day trading, only act when you see an opportunity, and cash out at the right moment without lingering; 400U for swing trading, wait until the trend signal is clear, make a move every ten days to half a month, and aim for significant profits; 400U as a foundational position, do not touch it, this is your leverage when the market is poor.
Too many people fall into all-in strategies; when the funds are gone, there’s no chance to turn it around—surviving gives you the right to talk about making money.
### Second Move: Only Take Big Profits, Don't Fiddle Around 80% of the time in the cryptocurrency world is spent in sideways markets, chasing trades aimlessly is just giving transaction fees to exchanges. If there’s no direction, just relax and wait; act only when the trend is clear.
When profits hit 20%, withdraw 30% to the outside; securing profits is real money. True experts only trade when necessary, and they can last for months without trading, so there’s no need to be busy like a headless chicken every day.
### Third Move: Use a Machine Mind, Not an Emotional Mind Set the stop-loss firmly at 2%, and cut immediately when it hits; never hold onto a position with false hopes; When profits reach 4%, reduce the position by half; don’t be greedy for the thrill of full profits.
Do not hesitate on the rules that must be followed; making money relies on strict discipline, not on impulsive decisions. When emotions run high, even the best trades can slip through your fingers.
Having little capital is not scary; what’s scary is still gambling, still rushing, still trading recklessly. That brother who can multiply his investment several times relies not on luck but on stability, precision, and decisiveness.
If you are still losing sleep over a few hundred U's in volatility, unable to distinguish trends or manage positions well, come talk to me. I will teach you the mindset of diversification, control of rhythm, and timing of entry and exit—don't stumble around in the dark alone.
I've walked this road, fallen into pitfalls, and now I have the light to help you avoid detours—do you want to join me?
People who have lost money in the cryptocurrency world have mostly fallen into these two traps — either holding onto "zombie coins" waiting for a rebound, or buying into "inflationary pump-and-dump coins". I nearly lost all my 20,000 USDT in my early years because I didn't see through the tricks. Today, I will reveal the true nature of these two types of coins so you won't repeat my mistakes.
### First Type: Outdated Imitation "Zombie Coins" I can identify these coins at a glance now. The pitfalls I fell into years ago are still unforgettable: The technology is outdated beyond measure, and the code hasn't been updated in years; the community is completely dead, with no one speaking in the Telegram group for days, and Twitter is filled with empty words trying to ride the hype — one moment it’s about AI, the next it’s about the metaverse, but there’s not a shred of real action; What’s worse is that they could be delisted from exchanges at any moment! Last year, a certain altcoin I held suddenly announced delisting, and it went to zero that very day, without even a chance to cut losses. Ultimately, these are just "digital souvenirs"; the project team has long since run away, and the price will only continue to decline day by day, with no rebound in sight.
### Second Type: Infinite Issuance "ATM Coins" The project team treats tokens like paper money, and as soon as the unlocking period arrives, they dump it crazily; early investors cash out and leave, leaving only retail investors to pick up the pieces; the longer you hold, the more you lose, with inflation worse than fiat currency. Just like OMG falling from $20 to $0.2, a drop of 99%; STRAT nearly vanished; FIL crashes every time it unlocks, with so many people being repeatedly harvested. You think you’re picking up a bargain, but in reality, your principal has long become a tool for the big players.
I sincerely advise everyone: don’t be greedy for "low prices"; that’s not an opportunity, it’s a deep pit; don’t believe in "sentiment"; 99% of outdated projects won’t revive; don’t touch "inflationary coins"; your holdings are just someone else’s ATM password. If you’re unsure whether the coins you hold fall into these two traps, feel free to chat with me anytime, and I can help you assess the situation.
Last summer, a female fan added me, her voice choked with tears: "Teacher, I lost 300,000 U in cryptocurrency trading, and now I only have 10,000 U left. I feel like I'll never have a chance to turn things around in this life."
Through the screen, I could feel her despair. I looked through her trading records, which were full of the pitfalls that beginners easily fall into: chasing coins when they surge, holding on with the hope of a rebound when they drop, going all-in when emotions run high, completely lacking any strategy.
I didn't rush to give operational advice but told her to take a week off first, to calm down and review all her losing trades.
A week later, she messaged me, having clarified the key issues: 90% of the losses stemmed from two reasons—first, she couldn't control her impulses and always got sidetracked; second, there was no discipline, and she had never seriously executed stop-losses.
Addressing these two points, I had her set two "hard rules": a single trade must not lose more than 5%, and if total losses reach 10% in a day, she must stop immediately, even if there are better opportunities later.
Then I taught her the idea of "stable profits": only open trades at key support or resistance levels for mainstream coins like BTC and ETH, setting stop-losses precisely at 1.5% outside the key levels, with no room for luck; as soon as one coin makes a profit of 5%, she should withdraw the principal and leave only the profits for speculation, so even if she incurs losses later, the principal remains intact.
Finally, I shared a little trick: take 2,000 U from the 10,000 U to diversify, selecting 3 small coins, but not just randomly, they must meet two conditions: First, on-chain data shows that large holders are still holding, not fleeing; Second, the supply of that coin on the exchange has been continuously decreasing, which is usually a signal of funds quietly accumulating, preparing to pump the price.
Unexpectedly, five months later, she excitedly came to share the good news: not only had she recovered all the 300,000 U loss, but she also made an additional 50,000 U.
In fact, in the cryptocurrency world, 10,000 U has never been a dead end; 99% of people fall into the obsession of wanting to recover losses quickly, always thinking of making a big score, which leads to even greater losses.
Ultimately, trading cryptocurrency is not about who makes money quickly, but who can endure the longest.
