In the cryptocurrency world, there are some little-known facts or tips that are often overlooked but are very important. Today, I would like to share a few:
1. Cost averaging is not as simple as it seems
For example, if you invest 10,000 U when a coin 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 believe. 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 exiting. If you can maintain 250 trading days 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 continuously maintain this compounding.
3. The relationship between probability and profit-taking / stop-loss
If your investment success rate is 60%, and you set a 10% profit-taking and stop-loss each time, after 100 trades your total return could reach 300%. However, this premise relies on strictly following your trading plan and not letting market fluctuations affect your emotions, 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 1,000,000 U, by the 73rd day you could break 10 million U, and by the 97th day you might even exceed 100 million. However, in reality, almost no one can achieve this because most people cannot control their greed during the process, leading to failures along the way. 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 capital as their 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.
