From an initial capital of 5,000 RMB to the current 25 million in my account, my more than three years of ups and downs in the crypto market might sound unbelievable to many. But what I want to say is, this path isn’t as mysterious as people think—the key is how you play the game.



Let’s start with the most critical part—money management. I have a strict rule: always split my capital into five parts, and only use one part at a time. You might think this slows down earnings? Wrong. During that big crash last September, a few friends of mine got completely liquidated, while I only lost a fifth of my capital since that’s all I put in. I could keep playing. What’s more, I drew a hard line for myself: if any single trade loses 10%, I cut it immediately, no questions asked. Even if I lose five times in a row, I’d only lose half my capital, but as long as I catch one right move, the money can double back.

A lot of people love to “bottom fish”—I used to make that mistake too. In 2022, when a major coin dropped from 60,000 to 30,000, I couldn’t help but get in at 35,000, only to watch it slide all the way down to 15,000. Later, I got smarter: when prices are falling, I just watch and wait. Only after it starts rising and pulls back do I get in gradually—this kind of buying low is much safer than gambling on the bottom.

You have to be ruthless when picking coins. Those that jump 30% in a day—whether it’s #ETH走势分析 or any altcoin—I don’t touch them at all. The faster they rise, the scarier the pullback, and nine times out of ten you’ll get trapped. Now I only pay attention to coins that are just starting to rally and have a clear increase in trading volume.

I’ve been using the MACD indicator and it works really well for me. When the DIF and DEA lines form a golden cross below the zero axis and then break above it, that’s the kind of signal I go in heavy on. On the other hand, if they form a death cross above the zero axis and head downward, I’ll decisively cut at least half my position.

Here’s a hard-learned lesson: never average down! Admit your loss and move on—don’t try to lower your cost. I’ve seen too many people dig themselves deeper and end up completely wiped out. The right thing to do is cut your losses and move on when you’re losing, and only consider adding to your position when you’re winning.

Finally, here’s what I check every day: daily line, 30-day MA, 84-day MA, and 120-day MA. Whichever of these moving averages starts turning upward, you can basically judge the trend. Combine this with volume, and your accuracy can be over 70%.

This market always has both risk and opportunity. With solid money management, reading the trends, and picking the right coins, ordinary people can turn things around. The volatility patterns of $BTC $ETH and other major coins—you’ll understand them after reviewing the charts a few more times.
ETH-0.21%
BTC-0.23%
BNB0.92%

The one-fifth investment method sounds good, but it really takes a lot of effort to implement. I can't do it.

I've heard about the "five-position rule" too many times, but how many people can actually stick to it? Averaging down is definitely a major pitfall—I’ve been burned by it before. It sounds nice, but when your account takes a dive, it’s a whole different story. The MACD golden cross is indeed useful, but it’s way too easy to get tricked by false breakouts. 25 million is definitely eye-catching, but just treat it as a story—don’t take it as gospel. Entering in batches is definitely more reliable than trying to catch the bottom—I agree with that. There are tons of people who watch moving averages every day, but very few actually make money. In a market where nine out of ten lose over ten years, the fact that this theory has survived is already impressive. Talking about stop-loss lines is easy; actually following through is a whole different matter.

From 5,000 to 25 million? Bro, that’s quite a story, but it’s hard to believe. The more I listen, the more it sounds like survivor bias—only the winners get to tell their stories. I can totally relate to the part about averaging down; I’ve really seen too many people get poorer the more they average down. But that five-part rule is really wild, the risk control is solid. I also use MACD zero-line breakouts, but a 70% accuracy rate? That number sounds a bit dubious. Cutting losses is a hundred times more important than averaging down—there’s no arguing with that. Basically, if you stay in the game, you can make money; if you’re out, you’ve got nothing.

Turning 5,000 into 25 million, this story sounds way too crazy, haha. I'm also using the trick of splitting the principal into five parts, but it really tests your mindset. The part about averaging down really hits home; I've seen too many people lose even more the more they buy in. I've followed the MACD golden cross breaking above the zero line signal before—it's accurate, but it's easy to get tricked. The hard rule of cutting losses at 10% has definitely saved me several times. I agree with taking profits at a 30% gain; pullbacks come on way too strong. Everything you said is right, but it's just so hard to actually do. As the saying goes, knowing is easy, doing is hard.

From 5,000 to 25 million principal? Bro, you gotta show some proof for that story, otherwise it just seems a bit... you know what I mean. --- Heavy position as soon as the MACD golden cross breaks the zero line? Can this move be replicated or are you the only one who caught it? --- That part about averaging down was too real for me. I've seen too many confident people end up with nothing. Cutting losses is truly survival money. --- Damn, I'm using that moving average combo too. How did you know my trading system? --- The five-part capital allocation is indeed stable, but the premise is you have to be ruthless with your stop-losses. Most people can't do that. --- I've also fallen into the bottom-fishing trap. I totally relate to the time I went in at 35,000. After that, I learned to wait for a rebound. --- What you said is correct, but it still sounds like the survivorship bias of compounding. What do the people who failed say? --- I respect the discipline of cutting a single loss at 10%. Compared to those who hold onto losing positions, you definitely survive longer.

From 5,000 to 25 million? Bro, I’d have to review this story a few more times before I believe it. --- Cutting losses at 10% and running—I’ve learned that much. Averaging down is really a trap. --- I’m also using the MACD golden cross, but 70% accuracy? The market isn’t that kind, is it? --- Splitting into five parts and only moving one sounds safe, but honestly it just means slower gains. --- That part about buying the dip hit home. I bought in at that price in 2022 too, and I still have psychological trauma from it. --- The key is discipline. Most people fail because of greed. --- The moving average combo is pretty good. I’ll try this approach next time. --- How’s the friend who got liquidated doing now? Still in the game or not? --- The signal of increased trading volume is definitely worth watching; a lot of people overlook this. --- What you said is spot on, but it’s hard to actually do. How do you control your inner demons?

Averaging down is really a deadly poison; I've seen too many people end up worse the more they average down. It seems like this guy really survived in the market, but that $25 million figure... seems a bit far-fetched. I acknowledge the five-part fund management method; it really does help you survive longer, but your mindset will be tested. I also use MACD, but claiming a 70% accuracy rate is a bit much—after all, the market isn't just an algorithm. You really have to be ruthless with stop-losses; most people lose everything because they can't let go of that last 10%.
