#加密生态动态追踪 # Market Watcher Anxiety? Break the Loop with "Game Logic" and Double Your Account in Half a Year

How many people in the crypto market keep losing more the more they trade, becoming more anxious and making worse mistakes?

I once mentored a 34-year-old student, Xiao Li, who nearly wiped out his 48,000 yuan principal in just three months, with his hands trembling. His problem was very typical: "Whenever I see a dip, I want to cut my losses immediately; whenever I see a rise, I rush to buy in"—this is classic retail trader thinking.

Later, I explained a set of "game-playing" logic to him, and he tried it skeptically. What was the result? His initial over 7,000 yuan of idle cash turned into 80,000. During last month’s market surge, his 48,000 yuan principal shot straight up to 97,000.

# Tip 1: Don’t go all in at once, divide your principal into "game points"

Xiao Li’s biggest flaw was liking to "bet everything on one shot." Once he decided to go long on BTC, he’d want to fire all his bullets at once. The result? Win some when he guessed right, lose everything when he guessed wrong.

I advised him to change his mindset: divide his principal evenly into 6 parts, and only use at most 1 part (about 17% of total funds) each time he enters. He followed this method: his first small loss was 900 yuan, but he remained calm; the second time, he made a 700 yuan profit, but didn’t get cocky. By continuously trial and error, adjusting his approach, he gradually understood the market’s temperament.

# Tip 2: Don’t hold full positions in waiting, keep a "seat of observation"

Xiao Li used to have a bad habit: when uncertain about the market, he would go completely out of position, fearing being caught in a trap. The problem was, opportunities often come suddenly—once he was fully in waiting, and then popular coins like ETH and SOL suddenly surged, rising 28% in just a few days. He only realized this too late, after missing the move and regretting it.

Now, his approach is: always keep more than 25% of his total account cash. When he sees a bullish cross signal on the hourly chart for BTC, he tries a small position of about 8% of his total. This way, he won’t miss opportunities, and he won’t go all-in and be wiped out in one shot.

# Tip 3: Position size should be in your "comfort zone" to sleep soundly

This is a simple but highly effective judgment criterion: when lying in bed at night, if a sudden good news or black swan event would scare you awake from your sleep, then your position is probably too heavy.

Xiao Li now keeps his positions between 45% and 55% of his total capital. When the market drops 9%, he feels a bit nervous but not frantic enough to smash his screen; when it rises 18%, he’s definitely happy but wouldn’t impulsively quit his courier job (haha). Most importantly, he no longer panics over fake breakouts on 15-minute charts.

# "Game Mindset" ≠ Lying Flat

Some say this is just passivity? Wrong. The core of a game mindset is shifting focus from "when will I break even" to "what’s the next move I should make to win." Xiao Li now reviews his trades by asking himself: "What did I do right in this trade?" He no longer obsessively replays losing trades but invests energy in refining his strategy.

As a result: even while watching the markets and trading popular coins like SOL and BNB, his operation quality has changed completely. From being repeatedly harvested by the market to a routine, methodical participant.

The market hasn’t changed, the coins haven’t changed, only the mindset and methods have changed—and with that change, the account curve follows suit.
