Many people want to know how to steadily accumulate profits in the crypto market. I want to be honest—there's no sexy answer: abandon intuition and become an executor.



Most traders lose money for the same fundamental reason. When the price seems to be going up, they rush in; when fear sets in, they hurriedly sell off. Emotions, like an invisible hand, push your account downward.

The approach I’ve tried is actually quite simple:

Divide your starting capital into five equal parts. Suppose you have 100,000 yuan; each part is 20,000.

Step one, buy one part at the current price.

Then, every time the price drops by 10%, buy another part.

Every time the price rises by 10%, sell one part.

Repeat this cycle until your funds or chips are exhausted.

What’s the brilliance of this logic? It defies human nature. When the market is in panic and prices are plunging, you calmly build your position according to plan; when the market is crazy and prices are soaring, you also sell according to plan. Every step you take is a tug-of-war with your emotions.

Why does it work?

If all five parts are used up, it means the price has fallen nearly 50% since your first purchase. Unless the project is completely finished, you are actually accumulating chips at the bottom. And each time you sell, you lock in a steady 10% profit.

But it also has limitations. A 10% fluctuation might make you wait painfully, sometimes even facing frequent setbacks. The way to handle this is: choose assets with larger volatility but solid fundamentals, or put idle funds into flexible financial products, so your capital isn’t just sitting idle.

This is not some get-rich-quick myth. It’s an industrial process that uses discipline and probability to gradually channel market money into your account.

In the crypto market, those who truly make money are often not the ones who think they are smart, but those who seem "dull" but stick firmly to the rules. The market doesn’t pay for cleverness; it only pays for execution.

If you’re still placing orders based on feelings, you’re trapped in an endless dream of breaking even. Maybe it’s time to change your approach.

The choice is right in front of you: continue to be cut by emotions, or use discipline to cut others’ emotions?

That's very true, you need discipline, or you'll really get cut. I'm now following this process, and although it's not as exciting, it definitely makes me feel more at ease.

That hits pretty close to home... I'm the kind of fool who places orders based on intuition, and now my account is just lying flat.

You're right, but do you know what's the hardest part... It's really sticking to it. It sounds simple, but in practice, when it drops 10%, your hands are trembling, and you can't calmly follow the plan. I tried grid trading, but in the bear market, I still got slapped in the face. Now I'm switching to dollar-cost averaging and waiting.

To be honest, I've been using this 10% grid system for a while now, you just have to endure. The hardest part isn't the logic, but being able to hold on without adding positions when the coin price is rising—truly impressive.
