#数字资产市场动态 Are you still losing money after trading crypto for over a year? I’ve compiled over ten years of trading insights.

I’ve talked to many people and found that the root cause of losing money isn’t the market itself, but mindset—being too impatient, having excessive greed, and being blinded by desire.

Market fluctuations happen every day, but truly profitable opportunities are rare within a year. Most people chase quick and huge profits, but end up missing the best opportunities to seize.

Here’s a practical example: If your capital is within 200,000 yuan, just catching one main upward wave in a year is enough. Don’t go all-in every day betting— that’s a surefire way to get wiped out. Market volatility is real, but the key is whether you can identify and grasp the real main upward wave.

Another common trap—many beginners jump in with real money without practicing first. One big loss can lead to bankruptcy. Demo accounts allow unlimited trial and error; making a mistake in a real account might mean losing everything. That’s why caution is essential in the early stages.

Regarding good news, many people hold onto positive news too tightly, only to see the good news turn into bad news when it’s actually realized. If you don’t sell when the market opens high the next day, you’re just waiting to be trapped. Especially before holidays—I’ve seen too many cases—reducing positions a week in advance is wise. Historical data shows that the probability of a drop during holidays is alarmingly high.

How to operate in medium to long-term? It’s really just one logic: keep enough cash on hand, decisively sell at high levels, dare to accumulate at low levels, and repeatedly roll over positions. Short-term trading depends on volume and chart patterns; only active stocks are worth trading, while obscure ones are traps.

Market rhythm is very important. When a decline drags on, rebounds tend to be slow, but once the decline accelerates, a rebound is often just around the corner. Understanding this rhythm helps you know when to act.

The strictest rule: admit loss if you buy wrong, don’t stubbornly hold. Protecting your principal is the only way to turn things around.

For short-term tools, the 15-minute K-line combined with the KDJ indicator is really effective. It helps you find good entry and exit points.

One last tip: don’t learn too many technical skills. The methods in the crypto market are diverse, but mastering just a few techniques thoroughly is enough for a lifetime. Trading isn’t about luck; it’s about execution and rhythm. If you’re still wandering in the market, consider these ideas—they might help you avoid detours.
