Why do 90% of people end up losing money in the crypto market? I've thought about this question for a long time. After six years of navigating the crypto space—from frequent liquidations to steady profits—I gradually realized that it's not a matter of luck, but rather a systemic cognitive flaw.

Today, I’ve compiled the experience I've accumulated over the years to share 6 practical tips. I hope they can help you avoid detours.

**1. Build Positions in Batches, Always Reject All-In**

When I first entered the space, I did the stupidest thing: trusting a "top-secret message" and going all-in on a certain altcoin. It turned out to be a complete scam. The coin's price plummeted, and I lost two-thirds of my capital.

That lesson changed my entire trading philosophy. Now I follow the "333 Rule":
- For promising assets, invest 30% initially as a base position
- When the price drops 10%-15%, add another 30% to dilute the cost
- Keep the remaining 40% as flexible funds for sudden opportunities

The benefits are obvious: it reduces the average cost and leaves enough firepower to respond to market volatility.

Key numbers to remember: single-coin position should not exceed 30% of total funds; mainstream coins can be up to 40%; altcoins must be strictly controlled within 10%.

**2. Stop-Losses Must Be Executed, Let Profits Run Freely**

Humans naturally dislike losses, so most people find it hard to stick to disciplined stop-losses. But in the crypto market, this psychological bias is amplified—small losses can easily turn into huge ones, trapping you deep in a position with no way out.

I compare stop-losses to a car’s braking system: without it, you're driving out of control at high speed. Once you've set your stop-loss level, you must stick to it—no bargaining or second-guessing.

**3. Don’t Chase Rises, Position During Panic**

Every big dip is accompanied by various "bottom-fishing" voices, but few dare to buy during extreme panic. What I’ve learned is: the craziest moments in the market are often the best entry points. When negative news is everywhere and everyone is panic-selling, it’s actually the time to actively position.

**4. Control Trading Frequency, Reduce Fees and Emotional Toll**

Newcomers tend to overtrade. Frequent buying and selling not only eat into your profits with fees but also muddle your judgment. My current approach is: after planning, reduce the number of trades to give myself more time to assess.

**5. Record Every Trade, Build Your Own Trading System**

Trading strategies without data support are just gambling. I record all entry and exit points, reasons, profits or losses, and review them regularly. Only then can you discover your true win rate and find the trading style that suits you best.

**6. Mindset Is the Last Fortress**

All technical analysis, position management, and risk control ultimately boil down to one word: "stability." Don’t get excited over small gains or panic over small losses. Listen to the true voice of the market amid the noise.

Crypto market risks are real, but so are the opportunities. Learning how to lose less and earn more will naturally make success come within reach.
