#比特币与黄金战争 Have you been trading cryptocurrencies for over half a year without any gains? It might be time to pause and organize your thoughts. I have been navigating this market for eight years, experiencing losses and profits, and ultimately developing some usable methodologies. Today, I want to share ten insights summarized from practical experience — I can't claim they are absolute truths, but each has been validated with real money.

1. Traders with an initial capital below 20,000 should not always think about full positions. Actually, capturing one main upward wave within a year is enough. Before the market truly starts, waiting is the best strategy.

2. Cognition determines the profit ceiling. Before entering real trading, use a demo account to repeatedly fail and understand your psychological bottom line. Real accounts are different — a major mistake can knock you out.

3. This one is especially important: when good news is officially announced, it often turns into bad news. If there’s no rise on the day of a major positive announcement, decisively reduce your position on the high open the next day, or you risk being trapped at high levels.

4. Holiday risks should not be underestimated. Historical data proves that reducing positions before holidays or staying in cash is a safer approach. This is not metaphysics; it’s a statistical pattern.

5. The secret to medium- and long-term trading: always keep sufficient cash reserves, and use high sell and low buy operations to average down costs. Don’t expect to buy at the bottom and sell at the top in one wave — that’s a game only the big players can play.

6. For short-term trading, focus only on active coins — those with high trading volume and wide volatility. Cold coins waste energy and can erode your trading mindset.

7. During slow declines, rebounds can be very frustrating; but when the decline accelerates, rebounds tend to be fierce. Grasping the rhythm is crucial.

8. If you choose the wrong entry point, stop loss immediately. As long as your principal is intact, the next opportunity will always come. Protecting your capital is protecting your right to continue trading.

9. For short-term trading, 15-minute K-line charts are the most worth paying attention to. Coupled with the KDJ indicator, they can reveal many buy and sell turning points.

10. Trading techniques are numerous, but you don’t need to master them all. Perfecting one or two methods is enough; mastery often lies in extremity.

Each of these ten points reflects the ups and downs of your account. Avoiding detours, in a sense, is making money for yourself. The hardest part of trading is not understanding the theory, but sticking to your system amid impatience and fear.
