#美联储降息 A friend of mine came to me at the beginning of the year with $1,500 asking how to trade. Three months later—$1,500 turned into $75,000, all without a single liquidation. Honestly, I was quite shocked at the time.
But it’s not about talent. It all comes down to one reason—he really listened.
**Position Segmentation is the Bottom Line**
Most beginners like to go all-in, feeling elated when they make money, and crashing hard when they lose. The plan I gave him was straightforward: divide the $1,500 into three parts:
$500 for intraday—place a trade when there's an opportunity, rest when there isn’t; $500 for swing trading—don’t act unless the trend is confirmed; $500 as a core holding—don’t touch it even if the market crashes.
When that big drop came, others were panic selling, but he stayed calm.
**Eat the Fish, Not the Whole Fish**
80% of the crypto market time is idle. If you stare at the screen all day, you'll soon get itchy and want to place a trade every minute. Result? The more trades you make, the more you lose.
The key is this logic—when there’s no trend, the market doesn’t exist at all. Once you see the opportunity clearly, act decisively. Lock in profits when the price rises over 20%. Don’t fall in love with candlestick patterns.
He followed this during the ZEC rally, taking a clean 30% profit—standard textbook operation.
**Cut Out Emotional Burdens**
Cut losses at 2%. Take profits at 4%. No hesitation, no stubborn holding, no emotional hostage.
At first, he found it tough. Now he says: “Watching the market no longer makes my heart race; taking profits feels as easy as trimming nails, and holding positions is like drinking water.”
Honestly—digital asset markets are not about being smart; they’re about who can stick to discipline.
Are you still being led around by market fluctuations? Getting itchy when prices go up, panicked when they fall, dreaming of overnight riches? That’s the standard path of being repeatedly educated by the market.
People who rush recklessly, buy impulsively, or gamble wildly will eventually be forced out. I used to be that person blindly stumbling in the dark. Now, this light is in my hands, and it’s always on—are you coming?

Obedience is indeed crucial. I have friends around me who have made profits this way, but most still can't control their hands.
The set of position sizing is truly the foundation of survival; those who go all-in are long gone.

Splitting positions is a good point, but there are very few who can actually execute it. I'm one of those who know but can't do it myself.

Listening really works, but someone still needs to be able to speak to the heart.
