Account balances have never dared to see steady growth; risk control is the best trading strategy.

Three years ago, when I entered the crypto world, I was like most people—staying up all night watching candlestick charts, blindly chasing gains and selling losses, ending up either missing out or getting trapped.

The hardest time was when my account plummeted from a high point straight down to just 3,000 USD. During that period, I needed courage just to open my trading software. It wasn't until this year that I truly understood the game rules of this market—there are no shortages of stars in the crypto space, only those who survive until the end.

Last month, I started with 1,200 USD and steadily grew to 72,000 USD within four cycles. No liquidation, no all-in bets, and no sleepless nights. This isn’t a get-rich-quick story, but a proven way of life validated over time.

**Abandon illusions, only then can your eyes open**

I used to dream of getting rich overnight. Seeing a coin rise 100%, I would rush in, only to find myself buying at the top and selling at the bottom.

Later, I gradually understood—markets never follow your script. Mature investors don’t curse the irrationality of the market; they learn to act with the right mindset in all situations.

My transformation began with accepting "imperfection": no longer obsessing over buying at the lowest point or selling at the highest, but steadily making money within a range I can see clearly.

For example, I will hold onto mainstream assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum. Those small coins that look tempting but carry explosive risks, I generally avoid. Avoiding pitfalls is actually how you make money.

**Position management is the line between life and death**

The biggest loss I suffered was going all-in with a heavy position. One misjudgment, and I could halve my account instantly. Since then, I realized that risk management is the top priority.

My current principle is simple: no single position exceeds 5% of total funds, and I never concentrate everything in one direction. I diversify, build small positions multiple times, and let the profits snowball gradually. It may sound unsexy, but that’s the secret to longevity.

**Mindset determines everything**

I understand technical analysis and fundamental analysis to some extent. But the real key to making money is mindset.

Can I hold my nerve when others are bottom-fishing and doubling their holdings? Can I stay calm when my account drops 20%? These psychological hurdles are the hardest to overcome.

My current approach is: set clear stop-loss points and target profits, and exit once reached. No greed, no luck. In the long run, this rhythm actually helps accumulate more wealth.

**Sincerely speaking**

I’m not here to boast about being clever, nor is this a secret weapon. It’s about mastering the basics: studying the market, controlling risks, and managing your mindset.

Every day in the crypto space, someone doubles their money, and every day someone gets liquidated. The ones who survive until the end and smile are not necessarily the smartest, but the most calm.
