It's often said in the trading circle, "It's better to go with the trend for ten days than to stubbornly hold for ten years." Honestly, I didn't believe it before. Until I turned 10,000 yuan into 1 million in half a year, I truly understood—it's not about having superlative prediction skills, but about being sufficiently "lazy" and never treating trend-following as gambling.

Many beginners like to heavily leverage and aggressively chase the trend. When they lose, they add to their position; when they make a profit, they recklessly increase their holdings, leading to an escalating loss cycle.

My approach is completely opposite: I only add to winning positions, tightly lock in stop-losses, and never use leverage above 3x.

**Step 1: The Art of Dividing Principal**

Split 10,000 yuan into two parts. 5,000 yuan into a safe account—this is the "ballast," don’t touch it. The remaining 5,000 yuan goes into the trading account, with only 10% of the position opened. Set the stop-loss at 2%, risking at most 100 yuan, which is only 1% of the total principal. This reduces psychological pressure and prevents trembling during operations.

**Step 2: Wait for "Certainty" to Knock**

Don’t chase every market movement. Only open 2x leverage when mainstream assets show panic signals during a continuous decline, or when popular coins break through previous highs with high volume after sideways consolidation—only then. Otherwise, just watch and wait for opportunities.

**Step 3: Use Profits to Roll Positions**

This is the essence of the "lazy method." Only use floating profits to add to positions, never touch the original principal. When gains reach 10%, move the stop-loss to the cost price. When it rises another 10%, add to the position again using floating profits. Keep leverage within 3x at all times. Let the account grow slowly this way.

**Four Iron Rules to Follow**

Set a stop-loss before opening a position and never change it. Take 30% profit and lock in 20%, letting the rest run. After two consecutive losses, stop trading and review the reasons within 48 hours. If monthly losses exceed 10%, pause trading for the rest of the career.

Currently, market volatility is narrowing, and just stubbornly holding is unlikely to see growth. But using tools reasonably is not scary; chaos in operations is. Properly segment risks and focus only on certain opportunities. Being a bit "lazier" can actually help the account grow steadily.

There’s no secret to counterattacking in the crypto world—just use the right methods.
