I've been in the crypto world for years, and I've seen too many newcomers dreaming of getting rich overnight, only to become sacrifices in the bull market. Beginners going all-in, veterans leveraging up—hardly anyone makes it to the end laughing. I've also had my own setbacks—once I was fully leveraged and lost half a year's profit in a single day; I also almost left this circle after trusting so-called "insider information" and buying a bunch of altcoins.

The real turning point for me, surprisingly, was two words: surrender. Not to give up, but to accept a harsh reality—slow is fast.

I set three strict rules for myself: no single loss exceeding 5% of the principal, even for the most promising coins; a monthly profit target of 10%-20%, and once reached, I stop—no greed; only use idle funds for trading, never touch my living expenses. Sounds conservative, right? But this seemingly "stupid" approach became my shield through the bear market. The cruelest truth in crypto is—surviving long is a hundred times more valuable than earning quickly.

Later, I developed a simple yet effective trading method. It’s straightforward enough to seem unremarkable, but with this logic, I achieved seven-figure gains. I call it the "253 Batch Building Method." For example, with BTC, assuming a principal of :

**Stage 1: 20% Exploration**

Start by investing 20,000 to test the waters. The goal here isn’t to make money but to verify if the trend is really coming. My entry criteria are strict—BTC must break through key moving averages (like the 30-day MA), and trading volume must at least double. Only then do I enter. Why so cautious? Because with a lighter position, I stay calm. Even if I misjudge, the loss is only a few thousand, avoiding the gambler’s mindset of "must average down to recover."

**Stage 2: 50% Partial Additions**

Once the trend is confirmed, I invest the remaining 50,000 in parts. The rules are rigid—during an uptrend, I buy 10,000 each time the price retraces 5%; during a downtrend, I also buy 10,000 each time it drops 5%. No chasing the top or bottom—just follow market fluctuations. This helps me lower the average cost.

**Stage 3: 30% Lock-in Profits**

The final 30,000 is used to lock in profits. When gains reach around 30%, I sell parts of the position gradually, securing profits. The advantage is that even if the market reverses later, I’ve already pocketed the core gains.

The brilliance of this method is that it completely removes the pressure of timing the market. You don’t need to accurately predict the top or bottom—just follow the market pulse, letting volatility be your friend rather than your enemy. Many people see this logic and think it’s too mechanical, not exciting enough. But I want to say, in crypto, stability and compound interest are the highest rewards.
