Remember the crash in 2022. When my account shrank from its peak down to 3000U, I didn't even dare open the trading app—everyone who has experienced that knows that feeling of helplessness.

But it was during those toughest days that I realized one thing: the crypto market is never short of opportunities; what’s truly scarce are those who can survive long enough to seize them.

Today, I want to share with you the trading system I’ve repeatedly tested over the past three years. It’s not some get-rich-quick gimmick, but a real and feasible position management strategy. In simple terms, it’s ten words: Don’t guess the top or bottom, don’t greed or fear.

**Once, I was that leek**

My past self was very typical—when the market started moving, I would go all-in chasing, then panic and try to buy the dip when it fell, always buying halfway up the mountain. The most memorable incident was when a certain altcoin suddenly spiked, and I lost 80% in a single day. I was completely blank, even thinking about cutting my losses and quitting.

Later, after careful review, I realized that 90% of the losses weren’t the market’s fault at all, but due to my emotional trading:

FOMO during rapid rises, afraid of missing out on the wave; panic selling during slight pullbacks, selling at the bottom; always wanting to go all-in for a big win, forgetting that the end of an all-in is zero.

**Turning point: Beating feelings with rules**

Later, I set two ironclad rules for myself, which became the turning point.

*Only eat the fish body, give up guessing the fish head or tail*

Many people have the common problem of trying to sell at the highest point and buy at the lowest. But the reality is—no one can predict precisely. My approach is: when the market trend is clear enough, I will decisively build positions in batches, but never chase the absolute best entry or exit points.

For example, in the recent Bitcoin rally, I started building positions only after it broke through a key resistance level, then took profits in stages near the previous high. I might have missed out on some profit at the end, but avoided the risk of being washed out by a sudden pullback.

*Drawdown management is the lifeline*

This is the most critical. For every trade, I strictly limit the proportion of my total capital invested, ensuring that even a series of losses won’t wipe me out. This seemingly “inefficient” approach actually keeps the account alive the longest—and staying alive long-term is itself a form of compound growth.

**Honestly, this method isn’t fancy at all, but it’s this dullness that helped me climb out of that deep pit of 3000U.**
