In the cryptocurrency world for seven years, I have learned to keep my mouth shut.

In 2023, an older sister listened to my advice and bought Ethereum. After a 50% increase, she kept asking, "Should I sell?"

I advised her to HODL, but she kept asking, and I understood: she only wanted me to nod. I said, "Sell it." She placed the order in seconds, and later ETH doubled again. When she asked me about coins, I reminded her of the dinner debt that had been overdue for two years, and from then on, she fell silent.

Entering the scene in 2018, seven years have passed. The higher my level, the fewer friends I have. Thousands of fans, endless likes, yet not a single one truly understands.

They ask, "What do you think of this altcoin?" I reply, "I don’t know." They are shocked, thinking I’m playing coy. But I genuinely don’t know. To study a project, one must look at the whitepaper, unlock schedules, on-chain data, and a month is considered fast. When they ask how much it can rise, I still don’t know. Experts are not fortune-tellers.

I advised relatives to buy BTC in a bull market, and they said, "Wait for the MEME to break even." I smiled wryly, "By the time you break even, Layer 2 will be on its third generation." They acknowledge you as an expert, yet want you to play by the logic of a novice: only buy at low prices, only buy what they are stuck with, only sell when they want to sell. It's like a wife who can't drive but directs the experienced driver every day.

Someone followed my trade, boasted in the group after making a profit, even leveraged to surpass me. Next time they ask, I counter, "What do I gain?" Three years without a red envelope, I’m tired of it. I stay up late analyzing data while they go all-in in five minutes and blame me when they get liquidated. Help once, bear a lifetime of burden.

There was a time when ETH's pattern was perfect; I advised a friend to liquidate, saying there were anomalies on-chain. Later, it really crashed. He avoided the loss but never contacted me again, thinking I was in the know. Another time, I helped a friend double her SOL and escape at the peak; she blamed me for not calling it at the highest point. I was speechless.

Later, when a friend asked about profits, I screenshot my wallet, and we parted ways forever. They said I was showing off; back then, they had villas and luxury cars while I worked odd jobs. Who's showing off?

The loneliness of the cryptocurrency world is that you increase your position in a bear market while others cut their losses; when you escape at the peak, others say you’re just lucky. No more advice, no more explanations.

After seven years, I have learned to keep my mouth shut. If you also look at on-chain data and calculate unlocks, we don’t need to talk to understand each other. @juice13

A fan who trades spot asked me: Master, why are you always so leisurely, only making three or four waves a year, yet you can always double your money?

I pushed my teacup aside and shared the following with him.

First, enlarge the cycle. Treat all fluctuations below the daily line as noise; the 4-hour chart is only for viewing structure, while the real signals for betting must appear on the daily or even weekly charts.

Use very light positions for trial trades, like throwing stones to ask for directions. Once the weekly close confirms the direction, gradually increase the positions, placing stop-losses just outside the opposing low points on the weekly K—wide enough for the market to breathe freely and wide enough for oneself to sleep well.

From opening to closing, it takes at least a month.

During this time, I don’t watch the market; I only spend three minutes after the daily close to compare with my plan: where am I in the current segment, is it a trend continuation or a consolidation? Just having it in mind is enough.

The rest of the time is spent reading, working out, coding, and even taking on a part-time job, treating trading as a side business.

People around me only know I “make some investments”; no one knows I actually hold a seven-figure position.

They can’t hold on because all they see are floating profits and losses.

I only see the life and death of trends: as long as the structure isn’t broken, I treat this position as if it doesn’t exist.

Nine out of ten small stop losses are in vain, but the tenth can recover all costs in one go, plus an entire year’s living expenses. Big money is given by the market, not pointed out by fingers.

Afraid of being anxious? Then start with 0.1 lots and double up as you go. Lower the frequency, and the leverage can naturally increase; if the frequency is high, even gods can’t save you. Remember, no matter how sharp a system is, it can’t withstand high-frequency wear and tear.

Capture three or four waves in a year, with each wave targeting 50%; when compounded, that’s a double.

Don’t be afraid of fewer market movements; the crypto space is never short of fluctuations; what’s scary is treating every fluctuation as a market movement.

Follow @juice13 to reduce trading frequency, allowing the market to work for you; this is the only way to live long and prosper increasingly.

Who are the most people in the cryptocurrency circle?

Answer: Naturally, the most are those who want to recover their losses and those who hope to turn their fortunes around by trading cryptocurrencies.

If I give you 1 million, and ask you to lose it all within a week, or else you will be shot, what method can you think of to achieve that?

Some people say to go all in, but what if you make a profit? If it turns into 2 million, it will be even harder to lose it all.

Some people say to trade frequently with a large position, opening and closing immediately, losing only the transaction fees. That's right, this is one way to do it.

So what if you are in profit? You must cut it immediately, absolutely cannot wait. If you are at a loss, you can wait a bit, hoping to lose more.

I hope this reverse thinking can help you understand something.

The most important thing is, after you understand it, to let go of the regret and obsession about how much you lost before, and focus on doing well.

Otherwise, being eager to turn things around will only lead to total loss. @juice13

At two in the morning, his message was filled with despair: $BTC

"Teacher, the 18000U heavily leveraged contract has blown up, leaving only 1500U, this is all my savings, I really have no way out." $pippin

I didn't rush him to recover his losses, only taught him three iron rules: $ETH

1. When opening a position, the loss on the base position must not exceed 5%. For a 1500U position, if the loss exceeds 75U, immediately stop loss;
2. Only wait for the pattern to confirm before adding positions, mainstream coins retrace to key support levels and stabilize with volume before adding small positions;
3. Only catch clear trends when adding positions, act only when breaking previous highs and with follow-up volume; at this point, it's only about making money without losses, just about how much you make.

He held onto his last glimmer of hope and followed the rules:

In the first month, he steadily rolled 1500U to 2700U;
In the second month, he found the right rhythm, relying on a few solid add-ons, it surged to 6800U;
In the third month, when ETH experienced a one-sided market, he held his position according to the strategy, and when the market closed, his account surged to 42000U—from 1500U to 42000U, multiplying 28 times in three months, not only recovering the 18000U loss but also making an extra 24000U.

That day he was so excited that he sent several voice messages: "It turns out it’s not the market that scams people; it’s that I never calculated how much I lost before, always thinking of heavily leveraging and gambling once!"

In fact, this was not luck. Starting with 1500U, every trade he made was controllable risk, he didn't blindly buy the dip when adding positions, and he only caught confirmed trends, gradually accumulating profits that eventually cashed out when the market came.

Recently, I've seen many posts in the square: "Another liquidation" "The market is harvesting retail investors", filled with negativity.

I recalled his initial predicament with 1500U and understood that not everyone can maintain this "certainty"—some can lose everything with hundreds of thousands of U, while others can steadily recover and double with 1500U; the core lies in whether one is willing to let go of luck.

So I rarely take the initiative to preach; the path of trading is ultimately a survivor's game.

The story of going from 1500U to 42000U is not to prove that "one can get rich quick" but to illustrate:

The crypto world is never short of opportunities; what it lacks are those who can maintain risk and accept making money slowly right from 1500U.

Those destined to understand will naturally get it; those who are not, no matter how much you teach, will repeat the mistakes of "heavily leveraging and gambling once." @juice13

如果你的资金不超过 5000U，别搞花里胡哨的操作！

我教你一套最普通、却最能活下来的玩法 —— 不爆仓，还能慢慢滚大，很多粉丝靠它从 4 位数干到 7 位数，方法就四步，越简单越能拿得住：

第一步：选币只看一个信号 —— 日线 MACD 金叉

别的都别管，尤其别信满天飞的消息。优先选零轴上方的金叉，稳定性更强。技术指标就摆在那儿，比任何喊单都靠谱，省去你筛选的精力。

第二步：操作只跟一条线 —— 日均线

线上就拿，线下就跑，别加戏、别幻想。价格跌破日均线，下一秒直接离场，这是铁律，不是建议。跟着均线走，能避开 80% 的诱多陷阱。

第三步：进出场盯两个点 —— 价格 + 成交量

进场：价格站上均线，且成交量同步放量突破，这时再全仓跟进，不盲目抄底；止盈：涨 40% 减一部分，涨 80% 再减一部分，分批落袋不贪心；离场：一旦跌破均线，剩下的仓位一股脑清掉，绝不犹豫。

第四步：止损就记一句话 —— 收盘价破均线，次日必走
一次侥幸，可能把之前的盈利全亏回去。踏空不可怕，等价格重新站上均线，再买回来就是，机会永远有，本金不能丢。

这方法不聪明，甚至有点笨，但笨方法才是散户最能执行、最不容易被淘汰的路。就像之前eth那波，信号来了跟着进，仓位控好、盈亏比摆正，轻松吃到大段利润。

别光拍大腿后悔没赶上，市场永远不缺机会，缺的是清晰的纪律。

如果你现在还不知道怎么选币、建仓、止盈止损，

关注我@juice13 只要你愿意按计划来，我陪你一起稳扎稳打，慢慢把账户滚大！

2018 年熊市，我满仓$BTC 空单硬扛到 6000 刀

5000U 一夜归零,这是我的第三次爆仓

也让我读懂合约交易的核心：先学会 “赔钱”，才能活得久。

新手最可悲的从不是亏损，而是亏得稀里糊涂。

2017 年底牛市顶峰，我跟着喊单群梭哈山寨币合约，不懂止损、不问逻辑，牛市退潮后一根插针就被扫地出门，到最后都不知道问题出在哪。

后来 2020 年 “312 黑天鹅”，BTC 单日暴跌 40%，身边有人满仓多单死扛，8000U 亏到只剩几百，像极了当年的我 —— 我们都没明白：赔钱是交易的成本，不是耻辱。

真正的 “会赔钱”，首先要亏得明白。

我用 1000U 重启账户，每笔单都提前定好止损：

2021 年 ETH 冲 4000 美元时，我 1200U 建仓，止损设 1100U，明确最多亏 8%。就算行情反走止损离场，我也清楚是趋势判断失误，而非被情绪裹挟。

更要亏得有道理。我只做 “以小博大” 的单：

冒 1U 风险，至少赚 3U 利润；

止损永远设在日线前低、关键均线等有效关口，绝不凭感觉乱设。

2022 年 FTX 崩盘，我小单试错 ETH 多单，行情反转立刻止损，亏 50U 却躲过后续暴跌 —— 这笔亏损，帮我保住了更多本金。

慢慢的，我靠 “会赔钱” 滚仓：

1000U→3 万 U→12 万 U，再也没爆过仓。

其实币圈盈利的关键，从不是永远赚钱，而是赔得有章法：提前计划亏损、控制风险比例、果断止损离场。

散户总想着 “一把翻倍”，却不懂：

能坦然接受小亏损，才扛得住大行情。

合约从不是赌大小，而是用可控的亏损，换确定性的盈利 —— 先学会赔钱，赚钱自然水到渠成。

这个市场独行太难，我已踩平无数坑，你要不要一起走？@juice13

$ZEC 1200U Roll to 38,000 U: A Profitable System that Doesn’t Blow Up with Small Capital

$BNB Didn’t reach 1,500 U in capital? Don’t rush to open trades!

I’ve seen too many people try to “double their money” with a few hundred to a thousand U, only to blow up and exit within half a month.

But one of my beginners started with 1,200 U and turned it into 25,000 U in 4 months.

Now stabilized at over 38,000 U+, with zero blow-ups throughout — this isn’t luck, it’s the core method I used to grow from 8,000 U to 8 figures, and I’m breaking it down for you:

1. Divide your capital into three parts; staying alive brings opportunities.

Break down the 1,200 U into 3 parts of 400 U:

① Day trading: Focus on just 1 trade per day, take profits when targets are hit, and never get attached to the trade;
② Swing trading: Don’t chase minor fluctuations, wait for clear trends before entering, aiming for 10%+ profitable movements;
③ Hidden reserve: Never touch this, it’s your comeback capital during poor market conditions.

Most people fail because they go all-in with no way out; remember: survive to earn back.

2. Only ride major trends; random moves are like giving away money.

In the crypto world, 80% of the time is spent in consolidation, frequently opening trades equals paying fees.

If BTC is in a sideways trend for over 3 days, close the software, wait for it to break below the consolidation zone or firmly establish key moving averages, and only then enter when the trend is clear.

Once profits exceed 20% of your capital, withdraw 30% to secure profits — “stay still most of the time, and when you act, do it steadily,” is 10 times more reliable than operating daily.

3. Use rules to manage emotions; don’t place orders based on feelings.

Set three hard rules in advance: set a stop loss at 2%, and cut losses when it hits; if profits exceed 4%, first reduce your position by half to let profits run;
Never add to losing positions, don’t think about “lowering the average price.”

You don’t need to be right every time, but execution must be on point — the highest level of making money is letting rules handle your emotions, don’t let greed and panic disrupt your rhythm.

Small capital is never the issue; the problem lies in always thinking about “getting rich overnight.”

Turning 1,200 U into 38,000 U isn’t based on gambling, it’s a system for risk control and waiting for opportunities.

If you’re still losing sleep over a few hundred U’s fluctuations, and don’t know how to allocate funds or identify trends, I’m happy to slowly share this method with you — avoid three years of detours; the key is to understand “how to be steady,” not “how to be fast.” @juice13

$BTC 1000U Contract Survival Manual: A Guide for Newbies in the Cryptocurrency World Who Are Not Being Led

$ETH First, let me hit you with the conclusion:

1000U is not a chip that allows you to multiply by 100 times; it's a ticket to buy 8 lives —— Newbies who are not being led can only survive in contracts with this manual. ​

1. Split Life: 1000U cut into 8 pieces, each piece 125U​

Lock away 875U in a cold wallet, leaving only 125U in the wallet.

With only 12.5% left on paper, you naturally wouldn’t dare to go all in; with this little position, you won’t panic and shake when placing orders. Remove “going all in” from your dictionary, and you are already ahead of 90% of the retail traders. ​

2. Cap: Leverage should never exceed 15X​

Within 15X, the market can shake a bit, and you can still catch your breath; above 20X, a single spike can lead to liquidation.

Remember: Leverage is a magnifying glass; it amplifies profits but also amplifies risks, it’s not your money printer. Don’t fantasize about turning 1000U into 100,000U with 100X; that’s a script for insider trading, not your turn. ​

3. Cut Off: If you lose 12.5U, shut down​

10% of 125U is the stop-loss line; cut it immediately when the time comes, don’t add to your position, don’t pray, and don’t check the signal group. After cutting, go take a shower, run a couple of laps downstairs, and format the words “recover losses” — reviewing losses while losing is just compounding losses; wait until your mind is calm before looking back. ​

4. Lock in Profits: If you earn 125U, withdraw 125U first​

When your account grows from 125U to 250U, transfer 125U immediately.

From now on, with zero risk on the principal, every 1U you earn later is profit charging forward. Profit is the moat against volatility, and the principal is just a bridge to cross; don’t use the bridge as a boat to row. ​

Liquidation is never because the market is too toxic; it’s because human hearts are too greedy. If you want to win with 1000U, first learn to slow down: slow enough for others to mock you for being timid, slow enough that fluctuations can’t shake you off. ​

I once stumbled through all the pitfalls alone, and now I pass the torch to you.

With 8 lives still intact, there will always be opportunities to feast — as long as the fire doesn’t go out, the road remains; will you follow? @juice13

$pippin funding rate, the "invisible sickle" used by the dealer to harvest the retail investors

The wildest fan I’ve ever had was a young guy who claimed to be a "post-2000 genius trader".

Last year during the altcoin season, he entered the market with 12,000 U, and with a stroke of luck, he surged to 35,000 U, posting daily trading results in his friend circle with the caption "talent crushes everything". But he didn’t stay proud for long before coming to me with a remaining position of 2,300 U, saying: "Bro, I got liquidated, the money just vanished for no reason!"

I asked him to send over his holdings, and I immediately saw the key issue – he fell victim to the "funding rate" hidden sickle.

The high-market-cap altcoin he was heavily invested in had a funding rate that soared to 1.8% per hour, deducting nearly 20 points in a single day: the price remained stagnant, but the margin was completely drained, and ultimately, the dealer crashed the price, wiping him out.

This is the harvesting tactic of altcoins:

With concentrated chips and low trading volume, dealers first lure in buyers with low funding rates, violently pump the price to attract retail investors to follow, and when the contract price far exceeds the spot price, they inflate the funding rate to ridiculous levels, "sucking blood" from high positions before crashing the price to finish. A-Zhe was misled by the fallacy that "the higher the funding rate, the stronger the trend" and still boasted of being a "genius", only to incur greater losses.

I didn’t leave him a way out, forcing him to abandon altcoins and focus on BTC/ETH mainstream coins, implementing three strict rules:

Stay away from any altcoins with a funding rate above 0.5%, mainstream coins have stable funding rates with no malicious harvesting; include the funding rate in the cost for every trade, and never let the stop-loss exceed 1% of the principal; only trade daily trend orders, don’t chase short-term, and avoid traps designed to lure in buyers.

At first, he was still stubborn: "Altcoins make money fast!" I directly threw his trading records at him: "The short-term profits you made aren’t enough to cover a day’s funding rate; are you betting against the dealer?"

He finally calmed down, and in the first half of the year, $ETH rose from 2,600 to 3,500. He followed with light positions, with the funding rate almost negligible, making a profit of 5,800 U in one trade. Two months later, his 2,300 U steadily rolled to 21,000 U, and he deleted the "genius" label, reflecting: "It turns out the most vicious part isn’t the market, but the invisible funding rate trap!"

Retail investors always attribute luck to talent, yet do not understand that the sickle of high-market-cap altcoins hides in the details.

Stay away from excessively high funding rate altcoins, focus on mainstream coins, calculate costs clearly, and avoid greed for short-term trades – this is the true essence of guaranteed profits in the crypto world.

In this market, it’s too easy for someone to stumble around in the dark and fall into pits. I have already paved the path for risk-averse profits; do you want to follow it? @juice13

The poor have no capital, the only leverage is life—time and health. $BTC

If you ruin your body before you turn your fortunes around,
that is equivalent to losing your principal.

In the cryptocurrency world, losing your principal can be restarted;
In life, once the table is pulled away,
you don’t even have the qualification to place a bet.

Many people think they are 'taking a gamble',
in reality, they are exhausting their last chips in advance.

The truly smart poor do not exchange life for money,
but rather exchange time for assets and health for endurance.

Remember one thing:

Living longer and standing firm is the only chance for a turnaround; trading is the same. @juice13

Yesterday $ETH pulled to 3030, decisively shorting 10 at a high, another steady day of making profits.

The deeper I delve into trading, the more I understand why truly skilled traders prefer independent operations—unwilling to take orders, avoid copy trading groups, and do not offer paid guidance, the core reasons are 5 points:

1. The profit from opening my own trades is far beyond the service fees from taking orders or following trades; there’s no need to sacrifice the principal for the trivial;

2. The pressure of taking orders is too great; once there are floating losses, the inquiries, doubts, or even negative feedback from followers or paying group members will come flooding in, directly disrupting the trading mindset;

3. There are always people chasing for orders, which disperses my focus infinitely, making it impossible to concentrate on my trading rhythm;

4. To meet the high-frequency trading needs of small capital users, one has to watch various small cryptocurrencies for short-term trades, staring at the screen all day without rest, completely disrupting daily life and routines;

5. It’s hard to find quality like-minded groups, making it impossible to empower each other to grow, and occasionally questioning one’s own trading path.

It’s not that I’m unwilling to share, I just haven’t found an efficient and scientific model.

If one can manage their mindset, filter out ineffective distractions, and gather a group of like-minded people to progress together, turning taking orders into a mutually nourishing endeavor, who wouldn’t want to persist long-term? @juice13 #ETH走势分析

$ZEC 3 AM, the phone kept vibrating

A girl from Wenzhou, Xiaoran, cried in the video: "Brother, 6000U is all gone! Full position 5x BTC long, a 3% pullback led to a liquidation, this is my half a year's internship salary!"

Her trading record is shocking: a full position of 5800U bet, no stop-loss set, and standing in the 4-hour overbought zone.

Many retail investors think "high leverage will lead to liquidation," but they don't know that a full position is the real culprit — it's like a car without brakes, a little bump leads to zero.

Let's do a straightforward calculation:
Full position of 5800U opening 5x, a reverse fluctuation of 6% directly leads to liquidation;

Using only 7% of the principal (420U) to open 5x, a fluctuation of 86.7% is needed to lose all total funds by 1.1%, with a risk tolerance 14 times worse!

I once lost sleep for three days due to a full position liquidation, and later summarized three "survival rules," the account steadily increased by 80%, also helping Xiaoran earn back 8000U in three months:

1️⃣ Only use 7% of total funds per trade
For a 6000U account, the maximum investment per trade is 420U, even if a stop-loss is triggered, it won't affect subsequent operations, leaving enough room for maneuver.

2️⃣ Single loss ≤ total funds 1.1%
Opening 5x with 420U, set a 1% stop-loss in advance, the actual loss is only 8.4U, cut at the point, never hold the position. Xiaoran once thought of waiting for a rebound, but I stopped her in time: "Stop-loss is for survival, not for giving up!"

3️⃣ Stay out of the market in uncertain conditions
Only engage in trends that are "easy to understand," such as daily line breaking key levels + volume cooperation, during volatile periods directly close the software, don't get tempted to follow the trend.

Another fan used these three rules to grow from 3200U to 55000U in four months: "Real experts make big money with small positions because there is always another opportunity."

Contracts are never about gambling with your life, and a full position is not a shortcut.

Surviving through discipline is more important than betting everything. I once stumbled in the dark, now I hold a bright lamp — the light is always on, will you come? @juice13

In the bear market of 2018, I held a full position of $BTC short to 6000 dollars, and 5000U instantly went to zero.

This is my third time blowing up, and I finally understand a truth: when trading contracts, first learn to lose money to survive.

The worst for beginners is not losing money, but losing it without understanding.

At the peak of the bull market at the end of 2017, I followed the call group and went all in on altcoin contracts, not understanding stop losses, not asking for logic, and got kicked out with a single spike after the bull market receded, not even knowing where I went wrong in the end.

Later, in the black swan of 312 in 2020, BTC fell 40% in a single day, and some people around me held onto long positions, losing from 8000U to only a few hundred, just like I did back then — they didn't understand: losing money is the cost of trading, not a shame.

The real "knowing how to lose money" starts with understanding the losses.

Later, I restarted with 1000U, setting a stop loss for every trade in advance:

For example, when charging to 4000 dollars on 2021 $ETH , I built a position with 1200U and set a stop loss at 1100U, clearly knowing I would lose a maximum of 8%. Even if the market reversed and I hit the stop loss, I was clear that it was a wrong trend judgment, not being led by emotions.

More importantly, losses should make sense.

I only take "small bets for big returns":

Risking 1U, at least making 3U profit; stop losses are always set at the daily low before, key moving averages, and other effective points, not set randomly based on feelings.

In 2022, during the FTX collapse, I tried small ETH long positions, immediately stopping losses upon market reversal, losing 50U but avoiding further crashes — this loss helped me preserve more principal.

Slowly, I rolled over with "knowing how to lose money": 1000U→30,000 U→120,000 U, and I never blew up again.

In fact, the core of profitability in the crypto world is not to always make money, but to lose in a systematic way: plan for losses in advance, control risk ratios, and decisively stop losses and exit.

Retail investors always think about "doubling at once", but don't understand: being able to calmly accept small losses is what allows you to withstand big market movements.

The pitfalls I've stepped into tell you: contracts are not about betting high or low, but using controllable losses to exchange for certain profits — first learn to lose money, then making money will come naturally.

It's really hard to walk alone in this market; I have leveled the pitfalls, do you want to walk together? @juice13

$BTC 5 years ago, I slapped myself hard while staring at the remaining 1800U in my account.

5000U entered the market, learned all the indicators, watched the market every day, but the more I traded, the more I lost. Holding positions, chasing uptrends, randomly adding to positions, I squandered my small capital down to just a fraction.

This is the deadlock for retail investors:

Always wanting to catch every market movement, I couldn't help but place orders whenever the K-line moved slightly. Clearly unable to understand, I still forced analyses, resulting in a flurry of futile effort.

Until I lost all my options, I finally comprehended a truth: contracts are an art of letting go; the more you let go, the smaller the risk and the greater the profit.

My core principle, condensed into 11 characters: large cycles, large moving averages, large slopes + waiting.

To be more specific:

Only look at daily charts and above, filter out all small cycle fluctuations;
Focus on moving averages above 100 days, short-term volatility cannot stir up waves;
Slope must be above 45°, directly pass on weak trends;
What remains is just dead waiting.

Markets that require you to think and get tangled in “long or short,” I resolutely avoid; only those trends that are obvious at a glance, without hesitation, are worth acting on.

This is how I operated later:

I spent 10 minutes every day scanning the daily charts, directly crossing out those that did not meet the “three major” principles, regardless of how much short-term profit others flaunted, I remained untempted. I once missed countless seemingly enticing markets, but I also avoided many liquidation traps.

With this simple method, 1800U slowly rolled:

30,000, 120,000, 570,000, 5 years without liquidation. While those around me stayed up all night for meager profits, I gained stability through “letting go.”

Actually, trading isn’t that complicated?

Don’t be greedy for market movements outside your system, only grasp the most familiar typical opportunities, and you’ll find making money becomes very simple.

This 11-character principle, those who understand will naturally get it. I struggled for many years to break through this barrier, and I won’t elaborate too much — true experts rely on “comprehension” and maintain their trading boundaries. @juice13

At 1 AM, my phone vibrated incessantly, and fan Aze sent 37 messages $FOLKS

Each one filled with a sobbing tone: “Teacher, save me! 100,000 U is down to 20,000, I understand Bollinger Bands and trend lines, but I just can't hold positions and keep adding, the more I lose, the more I rush to break even, the more I add, the more I lose, I can't sleep at all!”​

This is the fate of 90% of retail investors in the crypto market:

They learn technical indicators quickly, but when losses occur, they can't help but think “just wait a bit longer,” when in profit, they are anxious to add positions, and when the market consolidates, they fear missing out and make random trades — the real pitfall is not “not knowing how to read the market,” but rather “knowing full well, yet being unable to execute.”​

I pointed out 4 core psychological traps that caused his losses:​

Stubbornness: unwilling to admit mistakes after being stuck, small losses turn into big ones, essentially driven by the self-esteem of “not being able to lose”;​

Emotional trading: excited when making money and chasing highs, panicking and cutting losses when losing, being led by emotions;​

Fear of missing out: getting in as soon as the market moves, frequent trading causes the system to spiral out of control;​
Obsession with predictions: always thinking about guessing price movements, getting it wrong but stubbornly holding on, being hijacked by one's own judgment. ​
Even more deadly is the revenge trading after losses: rushing to recover, increasing position size, lowering standards, the more they try to remedy, the more they lose. ​

I gave him a set of strict rules to follow without exception:​

Set a “Calm Zone”: no trading within 20 minutes of a loss, review for 3 minutes before taking action, and the next trade must be half the position;​

Establish a fixed process: only accept A + signals (daily trend + confirmation from shorter cycles), list 10 entry prohibitions, with fixed position sizes and stop losses;​

Practice “small stop losses”: execute small stop losses for 30 consecutive days, recording “small losses protect future opportunities” each day;​

Structured review: for each trade, clearly write down the reasons for entering, whether rules were violated, regretful actions, and optimization directions. ​

Three months later, Aze's 20,000 U rose to 48,000, and he said: “I realized that winning in trading is about mindset; sticking to the rules is more important than understanding the technology!”​

The real enemy of retail investors in the crypto market is not the market itself, but their own psychological weaknesses.

Separating emotions from decision-making and replacing impulses with processes is the only way to break the cycle of losses — this is the core secret of trading. @juice13

$ETH 5 years ago, I entered the market with 5000U and made all the mistakes that new traders make: going all-in, chasing prices up and down, and losing 30% on a big drop. 5000U quickly dwindled to 2000U.

It wasn't until I faced a 20% flash crash while fully invested that I stared at my account with a blank mind, randomly adding positions and stopping losses, losing more with each action — that moment made me realize:

Position management is never about 'how much to invest', but about managing emotions. When emotions are stable, trading won't become distorted.

Later, I changed my rules: never exceed 10% of my position in a single stock, and make important decisions only after 2:30 PM.

The magic of a 10% position is that even if there’s a 20% drop, the loss is still within a manageable range, and emotions won't collapse.

If the position isn’t damaged and the logic remains, then hold on; if a stop-loss is necessary, it won’t affect future operations, and the mindset stays intact.

90% of market mistakes stem from 'grabbing': jumping into the market, rushing to take profits, the more anxious, the more chaotic.

I slowly realized that slowing down can actually be faster — waiting for a day for the market to clarify before acting helps avoid volatility traps; using a 10% position for trial and error, if it’s right, then increase the position, if it’s wrong, withdraw promptly, never stubbornly hold on.

Don’t think that small capital doesn’t need position management; on the contrary, small capital has weaker risk tolerance and needs to treat position size as a strategy, while techniques are at most tactics.

Relying on this 'slow position' logic, 2000U slowly rolled:

30,000, 150,000, 800,000, five years without liquidation, with the maximum drawdown never exceeding 5%. While people around me rely on technical analysis and frequently face liquidation, I steadily doubled my capital by 'controlling position size, stabilizing emotions'.

The transmission chain of trading has always been: emotions → mindset → response → results.

Full positions amplify fear and greed, distorting judgment; while reasonable position sizes can maintain emotional baselines, allowing you to calmly respond to market fluctuations.

The most profound realization after ten years in the market: no technique can replace position management.

If you want to grow your small capital, don’t fall for the mystique of candlestick patterns, first control your position size and stabilize your emotions — this is the true key to entering the trading door.

In this market, walking alone is too lonely. I have already paved the way; do you want to follow along? @juice13

$ZEC In the three years of ups and downs in the cryptocurrency world, I helped my college buddy grow from 3000U to 75,000U, but ultimately saw through human nature.

At the beginning of 2023, A-Zhe insisted on joining me in the cryptocurrency world, transferring 3000U and saying straightforwardly: "Bro, I’ll follow your lead!"

I immediately set three strict rules:

Only deal with mainstream coins like BTC and ETH, individual positions should not exceed 10%, when profits double, withdraw 50% to lock in gains, and stop-loss should be decisive. He patted his chest and agreed, filling up two pages in his notebook.

At first, his execution was on point: I told him to wait for a pullback to build positions, and he patiently waited for a week; I reminded him to reduce positions and take profits, and he did it without question. Riding the bullish trend, the initial capital of 3000U steadily grew, reaching 75,000U in half a year, a full 25 times increase.

But the profits went to his head, and he later spent every day in so-called “insider groups.”

"Bro, mainstream coins are rising too slowly! The 'mentor' says there’s an altcoin about to be listed on a top exchange, guaranteed to triple, I want to heavily invest in it!"

I was anxious and advised him: “That altcoin team is anonymous, and the white paper is empty, it’s clearly a pump and dump! Isn’t it better to secure your profits?"

He casually replied, “I’ll think about it,” and then turned around and poured all 60,000U into it, even without setting a stop-loss.

By the time I noticed, the coin price had crashed by 35%, and his 75,000U was left with only 49,000U.

I forced him to cut his losses, but he argued with red eyes: “This is the last chance, it’s about to rebound!” I tried to persuade him for three days, but he secretly added to his position.

A week later, that altcoin was delisted and ran away, leaving only 12,000U in his account—all of which were the mainstream coins I had forcibly locked in.

I tried to communicate with him, but he turned it around: “If you hadn’t stopped me, I would have made a fortune following the 'mentor', now it’s all your fault!"

Watching a once close brother become unrecognizable, I said no more, transferred half of the 12,000U to him, and silently blocked his contact.

The saddest part of the cryptocurrency world is not that newcomers lose due to ignorance, but that the people around them are consumed by profits and lose their original intentions.

I could help him avoid the hidden pitfalls of the bear market, but I couldn’t stop his madness after making profits.

The true essence of trading is never to gamble on rumors, but to engrave discipline into your bones and keep your heart steady without crossing the line. @juice13

$pippin 3800U flipped 20 times after liquidation: won the market, lost the heart

When he found me with a remaining balance of 1900U, his messages were filled with despair: “Bro, help me one more time, or I really can't hold on anymore!”

Seeing him anxious after multiple liquidations, I finally relented: “I will teach you the method, but you must stick to the discipline — split your positions into eight parts, no single ticket over 12%, profit must be transferred to an independent account, and never hesitate to cut losses.”

For the first 22 days, we steadily made progress:

Pre-market trend analysis, strictly executing profit-taking and stop-loss during trading, and optimizing through overnight reviews when encountering pullbacks.

From 3800U to 76,000U, the nearly 20-fold increase made him increasingly excited, always saying: “One more push, and I can completely turn it around!”

I repeatedly reminded him: “Preserving profits is ten times harder than doubling, don’t let greed cloud your judgment.” He agreed verbally, but his actions gradually went off track.

On the 25th day, he went all-in on popular altcoins behind my back, even without setting a stop-loss.

By the time I noticed, the account had already pulled back 51%. I urged him to cut losses immediately, but he stubbornly waited for a rebound: “This opportunity is rare, if I miss it, it’s gone.”

On the 28th day, the coin price plummeted sharply, and 76,000U was ultimately reduced to just 8000U. He even blamed me: “Why didn’t you stop me!” I didn’t argue, quietly ended my help.

Originally reaching out with good intentions, I forgot that the scariest thing in the crypto world is not loss, but the loss of respect after gaining profits.

Many can flip thousands of U into tens of thousands of U, but few can keep their original intent without inflating.

Later, I saved our initial chat records as a constant reminder to myself: goodwill needs to be paired with rules, and assistance can’t compete with greed.

The hardest part of the crypto world is not doubling, but remembering why you started after winning.

Real turning points are never about the explosive growth of account numbers, but about maintaining discipline and clarity of purpose.

In this market, it’s too difficult for one person to walk alone; I have organized the trading logic and risk control rules validated by practical experience. Are you willing to follow along? @juice13

3000U rolling to 280,000 U is not a myth blessed by luck, but rather my complete abandonment of the bad habit of 'self-destruction'. $pippin

Surviving in the contract market doesn't require flashy techniques, it relies solely on a few down-to-earth yet brutally effective iron rules. $ETH

When I initially had that 3000U, I never thought it would determine my life. Operations can be aggressive, but one must never act recklessly. I divided my capital into 10 parts, only taking 30U per trade, with 100 times leverage.

If the direction is right, a single point doubles the investment; if wrong, I immediately exit without holding on stubbornly. I never argue with the market; the market is always right, and the one who is wrong can only be myself.

When it comes to stop-loss, I am more ruthless than anyone else. I don't fantasize about rebounds, nor do I wait for 'maybe'; once the market turns against me, every second spent watching losses increases the damage. My stop-loss principle is as follows: if given an opportunity, I leave; if no respect is given, I move on.

Another rule that has saved me countless times: if I incur five consecutive losses, I directly cut off trading. Shut down the computer, uninstall the software, and exit forcefully. When emotions run high, you are not trading but giving away money. When I check again the next day, the market structure is often clear and understandable.

Profits must be realized; this is the bottom line. Earning 3000U without withdrawing is just an illusion of numbers on the screen. Withdraw half into your wallet, and then you understand what 'real money' means. Contracts do not require screenshots to prove strength; the ability to stay at the poker table is the true skill.

I only focus on one thing: follow the trend. The trend is where money is made, while fluctuations are a meat grinder. If you don't understand, just wait; wait until the structure is clear before taking action. Missing out is fine; being alive gives you the next opportunity.

I tightly control my position: never exceeding 10%. 30U for trial and error; if I make a mistake, I accept it because I can afford the loss.

Those who can truly make money in the long run are never full-position gamblers, but disciplined individuals who can survive. Contracts are a long-term battle, not a get-rich-quick performance.

When you engrave the rules into your bones and cage your emotions, you will suddenly realize: making money is just a byproduct; being able to survive is the real skill.

I will typically analyze the evening market structure; the rhythm is here, and by moving steadily, the necessary gains will naturally come. @juice13 #巨鲸动向
