Abandon blind market watching, embrace a rational system
Recently, I keep hearing fans complain that "the market is stuck in a range every day, and it’s impossible to make money"; I can only smile. To be honest, this kind of market is exactly what I like the most—there’s no big ups and downs to stimulate, yet there are opportunities to make steady profits. In less than two months, my small account grew from over 4000 to 85,000, and I didn't touch contracts or stay up late to watch the market. Today, I want to share this 'boring' but effective trading method with everyone.
Layer 1: Capital management is the foundation of survival
The current market is a tug-of-war between bulls and bears; going all in is equivalent to suicide. My core principle is: never put myself in a passive position.
I divide my funds into three parts, each with its own mission:
Short position (30% of total capital): Trade a maximum of twice a day, and decisively exit after a 2%-3% profit without being greedy. This portion of profit covers daily expenses, ensuring a steady gain.
Trend position (50% of total capital): Only enter when specific conditions are met—weekly MA30 stabilizes above MA60, and the price breaks through recent key highs. Once entered, after a 30% profit, withdraw half of the principal and let the remaining profit continue to run.
Emergency position (20% of total capital): Specifically for unexpected situations and never used lightly. This ensures that even if mistakes are made in a volatile market, there is still a chance for recovery.
This allocation mechanism allows me to remain proactive in any market situation, avoiding total loss due to a single misjudgment.
Layer 2: Only catch certain trends and abandon 99% of the noise
The most common mistake beginners make is thinking they must catch every fluctuation. My experience is quite the opposite: most market movements should actually be ignored.
My trading system has a simple rule: Only consider trend trading when the daily MA30 is above MA60 and the price breaks through previous highs with volume. At other times, turn off the trading software and do whatever else needs to be done.
This year, the market has been in a volatile state about 70% of the time. Many people trade frequently during this period, resulting in not only losses from transaction fees but also a gradual shrinkage of their principal. I, on the other hand, use this time to learn, exercise, and spend time with family—trading is not everything in life, and maintaining a good mindset is key to seizing real opportunities.
Layer 3: Discipline is the dividing line between retail investors and professionals
Reflecting on the tuition I've paid, 90% of my losses stemmed from violating pre-set discipline. Now, I engrave these rules in my mind:
If a single loss reaches 2%, immediately stop loss; never average down to reduce costs. Protecting the principal is more important than anything.
Once floating profits exceed 15%, adjust the stop-loss position to the cost price. First, ensure no loss, then let the profits run.
Uninstall trading apps after 10 PM, and never stay up late to monitor the market. If you make an impulsive trade, punish yourself by prohibiting trading the next day.
The cryptocurrency market has long passed the era where betting on high or low could guarantee profits; the current volatile market is particularly unforgiving. Restrain yourself with rules instead of being swayed by market emotions; this is the key to long-term profitability.
Conclusion: Patience is the most valuable asset in a volatile market
A sideways market is actually the best teacher; it forces us to abandon shortcut thinking and return to the essence of trading—capital management, trend recognition, and discipline execution. When you grasp these three secrets, when the next wave of market movement arrives, you will be among the few who profit consistently.
In this sideways market where most people are anxious, I choose to patiently wait. Opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared, and preparation starts with a rational trading system.
