This article is a practical guide on how to profit in the cryptocurrency bull market while avoiding risks. It elaborates on trading strategies and risk management methods from three core dimensions: portfolio structure, leverage usage, and on-chain trading.

I. Portfolio Structure

Portfolio construction needs to be adjusted according to capital size, but there are several core principles to follow:

  • Focus on high-quality collateral

    • It is recommended to focus on high-quality assets like BTC and SOL;

    • Convert to stablecoins in volatile or bear markets;

    • In bull markets, use profits to supplement mainstream coin positions;

  • Dynamic Adjustment Strategy

    • Currently maintain an allocation close to 100% in BTC and SOL;

    • As the bull market cycle progresses, gradually increase the proportion of stablecoins;

II. Leverage Usage Guide (Beginner Recommendations)

Set aside traditional perceptions of leverage on social media, and view leverage as a tool to enhance capital efficiency.

  • Differentiate Treatment

    • Leverage strategies for mainstream coins and small-cap coins should be completely separate;

    • Using leverage on SOL and using leverage on tokens with a market cap of 500M are entirely different trades;

  • Basic Principles

    • Total leverage for small-cap coins should not exceed 1x (e.g., $100,000 SOL as margin, altcoin long should not exceed $100,000);

    • Mainstream coins can use 2-5x leverage at specific moments;

    • The higher the leverage, the earlier you should take profits;

    • Never make trades that risk your entire fortune; always leave yourself an escape route;

III. On-chain Trading Strategies

  • Pursuit of Excess Returns

    • Focus on opportunities that may bring huge returns, rather than daily profits;

    • Do not overly pursue the accumulation of small trade profits (as Warren Buffett said, diversification is the protection of the ignorant);

  • Position Management

    • Avoid trading with a full position;

    • Adopt a tiered reduction strategy;

    • For example: sell 10% at 50M, then another 10% at 100M, and so on;

Risk Control

  • Volatility Management

    • Be mentally prepared for 50-70% pullbacks;

    • View volatility as an opportunity rather than a threat;

    • Maintain emotional stability and avoid panic-driven decisions;

Summary

Successful trading depends more on psychological factors; the biggest opponent is yourself. Through reasonable portfolio allocation, cautious leverage usage, and correct on-chain trading strategies, you can achieve considerable returns while effectively controlling risks in a bull market. Remember: volatility is an important source of profit in the cryptocurrency market, and learning to coexist with it is key to success.
