In the cryptocurrency world, there are some little-known facts or tricks that are often overlooked but are very important. Today I will share a few:

1. Cost averaging is not as simple as it seems

For example, if you invest 10,000 U when the price of a coin is 10 U, and then add another 10,000 U when the price drops to 5 U, your average cost is actually 6.67 U, not the 7.5 U that many people think. This situation is very common in market fluctuations, and understanding this cost calculation method is helpful for managing positions.

2. The power of compound interest is astonishing

Assuming you have 100,000 U and exit after earning 1% daily. If you can maintain 250 trading days in a year, your assets will grow to 1,323,200 U after a year. Continuing for two more years, your assets could even reach tens of millions. Of course, this result is based on stable returns, but the hidden challenge is how to continuously maintain this compounding effect.

3. The relationship between probability and profit-taking/stop-loss

If your investment success rate is 60%, and you set a profit-taking and stop-loss of 10% each time, after 100 trades, your total return could reach 300%. But this premise is that you strictly follow your trading plan and are not emotionally affected by market fluctuations, especially maintaining calm in a highly volatile market.

4. Greed is the biggest enemy

If you start with 10,000 U and earn 10% each time, by the 49th day your assets could reach 1 million U, by the 73rd day it could break into the tens of millions, and by the 97th day there is a chance to surpass 100 million. However, in reality, almost no one can achieve this because most people cannot control their greed during this process, leading to failure midway. This is why many traders find it difficult to maintain profits over the long term.

Contract trading and position management

In contract trading, position management and capital management are the keys to success or failure. Many people use 20%-30% of their principal as the base position, but I personally prefer to only use 2%-5% and employ 20x leverage. This effectively controls risk and avoids emotional decisions caused by excessive volatility.
