Eight years of ups and downs in the cryptocurrency world have left me with a clear anchor point in my memory: 2019, the ultimate carnival belonging to altcoins that swept everything.

That year, I chose ADA and started buying in batches at $0.03. No one expected that, in just three months, it would surge all the way to a high of $1.2. The numbers in my account multiplied nearly 40 times.

At that time, the first thing I did every morning was open the market software, watching the zeros behind my assets continuously increase. I even started calculating in my mind that this money was enough to buy a house in the city outright.

But I was too greedy and never pressed the sell button. Soon after, ADA began to plummet, crashing back to $0.2 in one go. The floating profits vanished like flowing water, and 80% of my profits evaporated in an instant, leaving my dream of buying a house completely shattered.

This experience made me completely understand a principle:

In the cryptocurrency world, knowing how to buy is at most entry-level; true experts know how to sell.

The following profit-taking and stop-loss methods are lessons I learned through real money, especially suitable for ordinary people who don’t have time to watch the market day and night.

Regarding profit-taking, I use the "tiered profit-taking method":

Assuming a coin rises from $1 to $2, I will first sell 30% of my position, thus basically recouping my principal. Regardless of whether it rises or falls afterward, my mindset remains stable.

When it continues to rise to $3, I will reduce my position by another 30%. For the final 40%, I will set a trailing stop—if the price falls back 15% from the highest point, it will automatically sell all. This way, I won’t miss the main upward wave while ensuring that my profits won’t all be given back.

As for stop-loss, I have a strict rule: the loss on a single trade must not exceed 5% of the total principal.

After each purchase, I will immediately place a conditional order, setting a -10% stop-loss line. This is like putting insurance on the trade.

Don’t be afraid of missing opportunities because of this; the cryptocurrency world is never short of market movements. But once your principal is lost, you have completely lost the qualification to turn things around.

Over the past eight years, I have witnessed too many stories of overnight wealth, but I have also seen more people lose everything in the roller coaster of price fluctuations. Those who can truly leave with profits are often those who strictly adhere to discipline.
