Why am I addicted to Cryptocurrency Trading instead of buying mutual funds?
In the end, it all comes down to two words: freedom.
I entered the circle in 2017, and now it's already the eighth year. I've paid a lot of tuition and taken many detours. But today, I can support my family through Cryptocurrency Trading and freely choose my lifestyle, relying not on talent, but on the little experience I've gained from my significant losses.
The reason I gave up on funds back then was because - the threshold for Cryptocurrency Trading is low, liquidity is strong, and it's quick to make money. Although the risks are high, to be honest, that feeling of the opportunity to get rich overnight is something traditional finance simply can't provide.
Cryptocurrency Trading vs Funds, what is the difference?
In one sentence: one feels like riding a roller coaster, while the other feels like taking a bus.
Cryptocurrency Trading: Exciting, but dangerous
The price fluctuation is 30% in a day, it's really hard to bear for those with bad hearts.
Policy uncertainty, the situation in the country can change at any time.
The technical threshold is high; not understanding smart contracts makes you a live target.
Fund: Stable, but slow
Stable returns, suitable for a laid-back approach.
Looking at the level of the fund manager, sometimes it's no different from riding a blind bus.
If you want to redeem, you have to wait; during a big drop, you may not be able to escape.
So how do you choose?
Can you accept a short-term loss of 30%, but also potentially make 5 times your investment? Then you are suitable for Cryptocurrency Trading; if you only want a stable annual return of 5-10%, then just buy a fund.
In the field of Cryptocurrency Trading, position management > technical analysis.
Really, I've seen too many people who can read charts and do trading, but in the end, they all fail because of heavy positions and all-in betting.
Here are a few tricks I often use, sharing with you:
1️⃣ Batch Position Building
Don't go all in at once; always build your position in 5-10 parts. Don't panic if it drops, and you can lock in profits if it rises.
2️⃣ Stop Loss and Take Profit Rules
Set rules before each entry: stop loss at 10%, take profit at 20%. Execution is more important than judgment.
3️⃣ Funnel-style Bottom Fishing (suitable for left side)
10% trial position, drop 10% and add 15%, drop again and add 30%. Be sure to remember: leave some room to maneuver.
4️⃣ Pyramid Accumulation (suitable for bull market)
First, invest heavily, and then gradually add more as the price rises; the more it rises, the less you add. Ride the main upward trend while avoiding high position risks.
The last few words of truth:
Always keep 30% cash on hand, it can save your life and also help you buy the dip.
Don't believe in "insider information"; the more you trust, the faster you get harvested.
Withdraw your earnings, only the real numbers are true.
Cryptocurrency Trading is not a sprint; it's a marathon where survival leads to a future.
Money earned by luck will eventually be lost back by strength.
