#数字资产生态回暖 Ten Years of Crypto Trading Insights: The Iron Rule of Taking Profits

The most regretful episode was definitely in 2020. I heavily invested in ADA, buying from $0.03 all the way up to $1.2—40x returns. Every morning, the first thing I did was stare at my account in a daze, even choosing a house. But greed took over, and I stubbornly didn't sell. I watched the price crash back to $0.2, turning my profits into crumbs, and my dream of buying a house was shattered completely.

That’s when I realized: entering is easy; whether you win or lose depends entirely on how you exit.

Later, I developed a method that doesn’t require watching the charts every day—

**How to Take Partial Profits in Batches**:** When the coin rises from $1 to $2, sell 30% to recover your principal so you won’t panic; when it climbs to $3, sell another 30%; the remaining 40% is set with a trailing stop-loss, automatically selling if it drops 15% from the high. This way, you can ride the main upward wave without catching a falling knife.

**Stop-loss levels must not be moved:** After buying, immediately set a -10% stop-loss order as an insurance policy. Honestly, I was mocked early on for being too cautious, and I missed opportunities for double or triple gains. But three months later, that coin went to zero, and I was still alive.

There are plenty of opportunities in the crypto world, but surviving is a hundred times more important than quick riches. Discipline is what ultimately determines whether you make money or lose it.
