Back then, ETH was quite strange; it would rise during the day and inevitably fall at night; after it fell at night, it would rebound right on time the next morning, as if it had been programmed.
I was ecstatic at the time—wasn't this just the rule that heaven was feeding me?
I quickly started to open positions in the opposite direction, and at first, everything was quite orderly, with strict stop-loss measures in place.
After a little over half a month, my account seemed to have been hacked, profits rolled in, and the numbers in my hands jumped like magic, making me feel like I was walking with the wind.
During that time, I was almost repeating the same actions every day:
Observing the market during the day, taking light positions in the opposite direction at night, strictly adhering to stop-loss, and steadily securing profits.
Every trade felt like hitting the rhythm point, and the account curve kept rising, allowing me to fully experience the joy of 'going with the trend.'
However, the cryptocurrency world never allows anyone to rely solely on luck to become wealthy in the long term.
The rules seem simple, but if the market changes slightly and the rhythm is missed, all profits will recede like the tide.
Many people saw me making money and tried to mimic my trades, but as a result, they didn’t understand stop-loss or position control, and within a few days, they were severely harvested by the market.
It was only then I realized that making money is not about 'rules' but understanding the logic behind the rules, stabilizing positions and mindset.
In the cryptocurrency world, making money relies on methods, not luck; it depends on stability, not speculation.
That experience made me understand:
1. Opening positions with the trend is more important than blindly acting on impulse;
2. Stop-loss discipline is more critical than how much profit is made;
3. A steady mindset is necessary to truly realize floating profits.
