Crypto circles see new participants every day, most of whom harbor dreams of "overnight wealth." However, in less than half a year, most disappear without a trace. I’ve also suffered losses myself. Back then, I wasn’t clear-headed and always thought I could make up for losses with the next trade, but inevitably, I paid tuition.

Only after truly grounding myself in this market did I realize that longevity is the real skill. I never expect any "get-rich-quick script." Over a few months, I grew my account from three figures to five figures. Honestly, it all comes down to sticking to three bottom lines.

**First: Position Segmentation, to Sleep Well at Night**

I’ve seen people go all-in with a few thousand dollars—that’s not investing, that’s gambling on fate. My approach is simple—divide the money into three parts:

Use $300 for short-term testing. Make at most one trade per day, take some small profit, then withdraw. Don’t get entangled with the market. For trend positions, also allocate $300. Only trade when you see a clear trend; if there are no obvious signals, stay completely dormant, sometimes for a week without touching the market. The remaining $400 is kept for emergencies, only to be used in extreme market conditions, and never to double the position.

It’s not just about money; it’s about mindset. Once you’re not forced to respond to every fluctuation, your mind becomes clearer.

**Second: Follow Only, Don’t Guess Tops and Bottoms**

In the past, I was obsessed with drawing lines and analyzing indicators, always dreaming of entering at the lowest point and exiting at the highest. But the market kept slapping me with reality. Later, I woke up completely and abandoned that "prediction" game, focusing on one thing:

Once a trend is established, I follow it. When the market is in consolidation, I turn off the screen and don’t look. My specific approach is to observe moving average arrangements and volume changes; only consider entering when a pullback confirms a stable support level. This strategy sounds simple, but executing it is more difficult than anything else—hard because you must restrain yourself from doing flashy moves.

Mainstream coins like ETH always present opportunities. Instead of wasting energy trying to predict the next move, it’s better to find the rhythm and follow it. The market owes you nothing in explanation; you just need to follow the right direction.
