In the past few years in the crypto world, I've seen too many people rush in with the idea of getting rich overnight, only to be repeatedly taught harsh lessons by the market and end up doubting life. Honestly, don’t treat this place like a casino; it’s really a place for cultivation.

If you currently hold 100,000 yuan, the first thing is not to think about how to double it, but to survive. Especially when the Federal Reserve enters a rate-cutting cycle and market volatility intensifies, surviving is more important than making money.

**Position management is the real lifeline**

I never go all-in at once. I prefer to divide my money into five parts, moving only one part at a time. What are the benefits of this approach? It keeps your mindset stable, your costs controlled, and you always have ammunition ready. Those who have seen black swan events understand—cash is confidence, especially when whales are active; cash allows you to respond calmly.

**The simpler the trading signals, the more profitable**

Over the years, I focus on two things. One is moving averages; I follow the trend when the price is above a key moving average and exit immediately if it breaks below. The other is trading volume; I only follow when volume increases during an uptrend, and I refuse to bottom fish during volume spikes. I don’t chase the lowest points, only eat the middle of the trend, leaving the head and tail for others.

**True skill lies in mental control**

All rules must be executed mechanically: stop-loss when losing, take profits and lock in gains. When you reach a certain profit level, proactively withdraw—don’t let emotions interfere with your judgment. Watch the market less, operate less; catching two or three waves of market movements per month is enough.

**The investment approach is steady with a touch of aggression**

Hold mainstream assets long-term, the majority of your portfolio; rotate a small portion of funds into potential directions; always keep some cash for extreme opportunities. And most importantly: stay away from leverage. Leverage is like an elevator speeding you toward hell.

Honestly, the people who make big money in crypto are not the smartest, but the most patient. Going from 100,000 to 1,000,000 isn’t about one big rally making you rich overnight, but about repeatedly doing the right things with a “dumb method.”

Slow is fast. Let’s encourage each other.

Bro, I have to say, I’ve been using this logic for a while—dividing five positions into batches. But the part about stop-loss is really too tough to endure. --- That paragraph about leverage hit the nail on the head. How many people get ruined by the "accelerator elevator" and then disappear completely? --- Moving averages combined with volume—it's easy to say but extremely difficult to do. Sticking to it for a month without any action can really drive someone crazy. --- Just want to ask, when an extreme opportunity arises, how do you judge whether it’s truly an opportunity or just a trap? --- The phrase "Slow is fast" I want to get tattooed on myself, but unfortunately, no one told me that when paying tuition.

Ah, it's the same position management theory again. It's not wrong, but I'm tired of hearing it. The key is that most people simply can't do it. I've seen people split into five parts and still lose everything. --- Moving averages and volume signals? Bro, are you teaching stock trading or crypto? The market structure is so different. --- "Slow is fast" sounds nice, but how slow is it from 100,000 to 1,000,000? I might have been beaten back by life long ago. --- Leverage is indeed an elevator to hell, but trading without leverage in this market is slow suicide. It's tough. --- I can't keep up with the last sentence "Let's motivate each other," feels like self-hypnosis for myself and others. --- I agree that mindset is the most important, but everyone understands mindset. Execution is the real test. --- Talking about cash is king, when a black swan comes, having no bullets in hand is truly despairing. --- The five-part position theory is reliable, but the premise is that you survive the first few cycles. Small investors simply can't wait.

That's right. I was once the type of rookie full of leverage dreams, and now I realize that living is much more enjoyable than just making money. --- I'm also using this set of five positions, which has definitely reduced a lot of mental fatigue. --- It's just that I still tend to be soft when it comes to withdrawals. Seeing the account balance go up makes me want to gamble again, and I always regret it afterward. --- The phrase "stay away from leverage" hits hard. Many people around me have been brought back to square one overnight because of this. --- Is it enough to just use moving averages and volume? Why do I feel that even simple things often fail due to lack of execution? --- Going from 100,000 to 1 million really takes a year or two of perseverance. Now I understand why veteran investors say slow is fast. --- The key is to resist the urge to watch the market. Once you start watching, you want to trade; once you trade, it's easy to get into trouble. --- This trading approach sounds easy, but in practice, when a black swan event occurs, everything has to be overturned and started over. --- Honestly, I still don't have that much patience and can't stand seeing others make quick money.

Yeah, that's right. I'm also using the five-position strategy, just need to resist the urge to go all-in at once. --- Data speaks for itself. Over 100,000 people were liquidated and forced to close positions within 72 hours. Living truly is more valuable than making money. --- I laughed when I saw the phrase "Leverage is an elevator." Indeed, it's an elevator that accelerates you straight to hell. --- The key is that mindset. Most people just want to run after making a little profit, and want to recover losses when they lose a bit. It's a dead cycle. --- That's very insightful. I know someone who invested 100,000 with the hope of turning it into a million, but now they've lost their principal. --- Stopping watching the charts is so crucial. I looked at K-line charts for a month less, and I actually made more than when I was staring at the screen every day. --- Really, patience is the super brain. It’s not about complicated technical indicators, just about endurance. --- Wait, "Trade above the moving average and follow the trend, sell immediately if it breaks below"—this means strictly executing stop-loss, right? No leniency. --- The crypto world has changed in recent years. It used to rely on luck; now it relies on management. Making big money is definitely not the smartest group.
