#密码资产动态追踪 8 Years in the Crypto World: The True Account from Edge of the Rooftop to 20 Million Turnaround
I've been in the crypto market for 8 years, experiencing the craziest crashes and the wildest rebounds.
What was the darkest moment? Investing 200,000 and losing it all in a day. Liquidation, debts, all kinds of online loan collection calls—I've definitely been on the edge of the rooftop during that time. But I didn't die; instead, I started over with 1,000 USD and gradually grew to 20 million.
Today, I won't talk about macro trends. I just want to share these 9 ironclad trading rules that I’ve learned through blood, sweat, and tears over these 8 years:
**Fund Management is the Premise of Staying Alive** The biggest fear in the early stages of small capital is going all-in. Full position equals locking yourself in; being cautious is key to surviving until the market turns.
**Good News is a Bait** Positive news is a signal to sell. Many wait until they’re trapped before trying to escape—that’s too late. When the market starts moving, run. Don’t wait for your body to tell you to flee.
**Rest When the Market Rest** A few days before holidays, either reduce your position or stay on the sidelines. If the market trend is unclear and you still try to poke around, you’re just inviting trouble.
**Mid-to-Long Term is Retirement, Short-Term is Profession** For mid-to-long-term trades, hold lightly and focus on stability. For short-term trades, follow the trend and buy/sell quickly. If no clear trend appears, stay in cash and wait for opportunities—don’t force trades.
**Rhythm Determines Success or Failure** In a rapidly rising market, you need to keep up; during slow adjustments, give it time. Mastering this rhythm makes dips the best entry points.
**Candlesticks Are Your Best Friends** Focus on 15-minute candlestick charts, combined with KDJ indicator, to improve accuracy. It’s not that candlesticks are always correct, but they provide a relatively reliable reference for entry.
**Stop-Loss is Like Insurance** Admit mistakes when they happen. Set your stop-loss points and execute—never hold onto losing positions. Many people can’t bear a small loss and end up losing much more.
**Mindset is the Last Fortress** Market sentiment is contagious; you must learn to isolate yourself. Follow big influencers blindly, panic and sell, and you won’t last long as a trader. Keep your mindset steady, and your wins and losses will be under control.
From walking in the dark alone to now lighting the way for others, what I’ve learned in these 8 years is truly more valuable than the money I’ve made. Avoid detours, not because you can’t, but because you shouldn’t fall into the same pit twice.

The people saved at the edge of the rooftop have the most say, I agree with that.

I really don't want to bring up that part on the rooftop again, but what you said about stop-loss is correct. I previously held a position until I got liquidated.

It's still possible to turn things around by going to the rooftop, how ruthless is that?

Honestly, I really had to be ruthless with stop-loss. I am one of those who held on until the account was wiped out.

200,000 lost in a day is indeed harsh, but I've heard this story too many times.
I agree that not holding the position is a key point; stop-loss is crucial.
Regarding mindset, you're right. When big influencers call trades, those following the trend often get wiped out.
That point about sense of rhythm is a bit vague; it's easy to talk about but hard to do.
Growing from 1,000U to 20 million requires either luck or real strength.

The stop-loss really hit me hard. No matter how many times, I just couldn't bear to take that small loss and ended up liquidation.

The comeback on the rooftop edge to 20 million has me on the edge of my seat listening to this story.
But to be honest, implementing stop-loss is really the hardest part. I've seen too many people around me die here.

well technically the "degen to 20M" pipeline is just survivorship bias with extra steps, but ngl the position sizing bit actually hits different
