In the cryptocurrency world, there are some little-known facts or techniques 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 a cryptocurrency is priced at 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 a volatile market, 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 earn 1% daily before cashing out. If you can maintain this for 250 trading days in a year, your assets will grow to 1,323,200 U after one 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 consistently maintain this compounding.

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

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

4. Greed is the greatest enemy

If you start with 10,000 U and earn 10% each time, on the 49th day, your assets could reach 1 million U, on the 73rd day, it could exceed 10 million U, and on the 97th day, there is even 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 setbacks. This is why many traders find it hard to maintain profits for the long term, even if they are making money.

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 can effectively control risk and avoid emotional decisions caused by excessive volatility.
