#数字资产市场动态 In the ups and downs of the crypto market, I used to be one of those people who couldn't sleep at night watching the charts. At that time, my account was in the red, and my mindset was even more red.
It wasn't until later that I realized that consistently making money is never about luck or talent, but about sticking to a simple, straightforward, yet effective method.
**Survival comes first.** I set a strict rule for myself: the risk on a single trade should not exceed 2% of the account, and the total position should be controlled within 20%. This may seem conservative, but it can save your life during extreme market conditions. The worst thing is those who lose money but refuse to cut losses, instead adding to their positions—that's not averaging down, that's suicide. As for leverage, to me, it's like a drug; if you can avoid it, do so.
**Trading is not about quantity, but quality.** I now only make 1-2 trades per day with the highest confidence. More than that isn't diligence; it's just paying unnecessary fees and affecting your mindset. Before opening a position, I must have a complete plan: where to set the stop-loss, where to take profit, and then let the system execute it. Rely on rules, not emotions, to trade.
**There are a few lessons I must learn.** Unrealized gains are not actual profits; only real money in the wallet counts. Holding on stubbornly after a decline is the fastest way to go bankrupt. And feelings like "I think it can still go up" are often the most expensive traps in this market.
My transformation, frankly, is from heavy position holding and frequent liquidation to light positions, strict control, and high-confidence operations. It may be slower, but while strictly managing drawdowns, it allows for real, stable growth. In the end, this market rewards not the smartest, but those with discipline.
