Nail down the rules, chop off the emotions.
I have a fan who entered the market with 1800U in his pocket.
Three months later, he threw me a screenshot: account balance 7980U, net worth increased to 4.4 times. No leverage, no airdrops, and no so-called insider information, only the trading volume indicator remains on the candlestick chart.
This guy has my three sentences carved in his phone's memo, reciting them like a mantra every day before the market opens. These three plain words have accompanied him through the toughest times.
01. Focus on money, not on lines.
This kid's screen is so clean it's hard to get used to - just two windows: a list of large on-chain transfers and changes in the order book.
He doesn't care about MACD golden crosses or death crosses at all; he only recognizes one principle: the direction of money is the real thing. If one day there is simultaneous 'large address net inflow' and 'large orders at the buy one position suddenly withdrawn,' he just throws the coin name into his watchlist and waits patiently.
The appearance of the price chart is not important; as long as there is real money flowing in, he dares to follow up with ambush. The market is a voting machine in the short term and a weighing machine in the long term. He focuses on identifying those 'votes' that truly carry weight.
02. Buy panic, not stories.
His buying signal is as cold as a machine: the daily decline exceeds 25%, and the contract funding rate turns negative.
Only when retail investors are howling in the group, starting to curse the project side for running away, does he leisurely start placing orders, and the price is 2% lower than the market price. If it rebounds by 8%, he will sell half; if it rises another 5%, he will clear everything—never fall in love with any coin.
Just like those mature traders, they understand that they cannot control the ups and downs but can control their reactions. The news is filled with noise, and sometimes the so-called good and bad news have no predictable correlation with price trends.
03. Discipline is the only moat.
This kid's rules are unbreakable: a maximum of three trades per day, a stop loss of 3%, a take profit of 8%; if triggered, he exits at market price, no pulling, no averaging down, and definitely no staying up late to watch the market.
Every night, he sends me the delivery order for inspection. As long as he breaks the rules once, he goes directly to a flat position the next day, enforced. He cried over this because one 'discipline' stop loss made him miss a subsequent 40% surge. But the next day, that coin plummeted by 50%, and he was happy again—avoiding the pit is more important than feasting on meat.
The investment master Davis once said that most of the money made by investors is actually earned during bear markets, although they may not realize it at the time. Successful traders emphasize that the only shortcut is to not take shortcuts; it takes time to hone skills.
04. Slow is fast; that is the essence.
Starting from the fourth month, he did something particularly awakening: he withdrew half of the profits and left only 4000U in the account to continue rolling.
He told me, 'Teacher, I understand now; having my account show profits every day is much more comfortable than betting on a flip to double overnight.'
He realized that flowing water does not rush ahead; it flows continuously. He demands himself to think like an institution, not to predict the market, but to calculate the odds and probabilities of each transaction, then prepare accordingly. In the market, one should humble oneself and wait for the right timing until their own market opportunities arise.
Conclusion: Will the next batch of doubles be you?
The market is still brewing; small funds should not always think about going all in for overnight riches. Like my fans, write the rules in stone, keep the rhythm steady, and the market will eventually reward those who are patient and disciplined.
Remember, in this market, those who survive are not the smartest, but those who can control themselves.
