2025 is the most exciting moment of my crypto trading career. Since Bitcoin broke the psychological barrier of $100,000 at the beginning of the year, I have been confident in the bullish outlook. Driven by the market, I adopted a strategy combining spot and futures trading, focusing on BTC and ETH.



During this year's trading, I summarized three core experiences:

**Risk is always the top priority.** Seemingly simple stop-loss and take-profit settings helped me avoid several obvious market corrections. Many people are greedy, resulting in losses during big fluctuations. My approach is straightforward—stick to discipline and stay alive to make money.

**Macro factors drive everything.** The Fed's interest rate cut cycle and the continuous inflow of funds into spot ETFs—these seemingly grand events—directly contributed to the rise in coin prices. Paying attention to news and understanding policy trends is more important than obsessing over K-line charts.

**The power of tools cannot be ignored.** I used a grid trading bot to implement a passive income system, so idle funds no longer sit still but generate returns amid volatility. Additionally, participating in ecosystem incentives and airdrop plans brought me extra gains.

From a beginner to doubling my assets, this year truly changed my understanding of trading. In 2026, I will continue to improve in this market and look forward to more opportunities ahead.

actually ngl, the grid bot thing is just basis points stacking with extra steps. you're not capturing alpha, you're just getting paid to provide liquidity lol. have you even calculated your risk-adjusted returns against the slippage you're eating?

Setting stop-loss and take-profit sounds nice, but when actually trading, a little shake of the hand makes you forget everything haha

It's easy to talk about stop-loss, but hard to actually do it. Really, most people just can't control the greed that urges them on.

Stop-loss is easy to talk about but really hard to do. Everyone has the desire to go all-in when they see the coin rising. Grid trading bots are indeed attractive, but you need to choose the right market conditions; otherwise, you'll just be earning fees for nothing. The Federal Reserve's logic is not wrong, but the macro environment is changing extremely fast, so you need to keep an eye on the news at all times. Doubling assets is awesome, but I'm just worried that by 2026, I'll break even even faster.
