$ZEC On the night at the beginning of the year, it was snowing heavily, and my cousin knocked on my door with his savings of 50,000. His eyes were fierce and bright: "Brother, I don't want to struggle for 8,000 anymore. I want to learn trading from you and take a gamble on the future."
To be honest, I really wanted to pour cold water on him at that time—50,000 in the crypto world is like a piece of paper on the wind; once the operation goes wrong, there won't be anything left. But this time he wasn't acting on impulse; I could see that determination of "I must turn my life around," so I handed over the trading system that I had built from over a decade of experiences to him.
Who would have thought that three months later he would send me a message: 'Bro, let's drink tonight.' He casually sent a screenshot of his account—50,000, and it grew to 210,000.
Others only see the results; only I know how many tough bones he chewed through: daily reviews, strict adherence to processes, relentless discipline... these are the secrets to doubling.
His trading method is simple yet complex:
Don't chase hot trends or ride on emotions; only work with clean trends and solid structures.
Don't rush to grab high points; wait for key moving averages to pull back, have volume, and confirmation signals before acting;
Cutting losses is as quick as a knife; for stocks that can't hold up, don't get sentimental, just cut them.
Doing MATIC that time, he waited until the 60-day moving average stabilized and increased in volume before entering, steadily making a 60% profit.
In that OP trade, he almost fell into the old habit of 'holding positions.' I just replied to him, 'Don't gamble.' He gritted his teeth and cut his losses, ultimately avoiding the subsequent 35% drop. That pain made him realize that discipline is more valuable than technology.
Now, his life has completely changed in flavor.
After dropping off the kids, he spends twenty minutes looking at the market, and the rest of the time drinking tea, practicing calligraphy, walking, and drinking. The anxiety of 'money is never enough' from when he was working is long gone.
He told me, 'In the past, I was always afraid of missing out on opportunities and grabbed at everything. Now I understand that those who truly make money only act at their own points.'
This is the most genuine law of the crypto world:
Those who can make money consistently are always the ones with systems, patience, and self-restraint, not the high-frequency chaos traders.
Market opportunities are always there, but there are too few who can see through the essence and uphold the rules.
I've been in the crypto world for over ten years, and I've fallen hard enough and stumbled enough. In the end, I realized one thing:
In a highly volatile market, the more you want to get rich quickly, the easier it is to get liquidated; the steadier you are, the further you can go.
System, patience, discipline, are worth more than any 'insider news' or 'explosive tips.'
For ordinary people to turn their fortunes around in the crypto world, these three things are the foundational code.
