Three years in the crypto world and still not profitable? It's not that you can't make money, but that you can't keep money!

After ten years in the crypto world, I've seen too many people caught in the cycle of 'liquidation - chasing the high.' Some ask: why are you still losing money after three years of trading? The answer is often just one sentence: it's not that you can't make money, but that you can't keep it.

A 50% account drawdown means you need to double your money to break even — this is mathematics, not luck. Occasional profits do not equate to success; the ability to control drawdowns and lock in profits is the dividing line between a novice and a mature trader. The problem lies not in the market, but in the flaws of your system.

The hardest part of trading is not the technique, but human nature.

Greed, fear, unwillingness to cut losses, fear of missing out — these emotions are the real opponents.

Over the years, I've come to understand that there is only one most important thing: eliminate your weaknesses. Quit the greed, focus only on structures you understand, and only act when certainty is high.

A trader's mindset has three levels:

Cryptocurrency mindset: obsessed with finding the 'next hundredfold coin,' most likely to incur losses.

Pattern mindset: starting to summarize rules, waiting for signals, no longer chasing highs and cutting losses — this is the beginning of maturity.

Account mindset: forget individual profits and losses, focus only on the overall curve — this is the state that allows for long-term survival.

Real experts focus on the lifeline of the account, not on a specific candlestick.

The core of my profitability in ETH can be summed up in one sentence: do not predict, only follow; do not rush, only pick up money. When the trend weakens, exit first; do not touch sudden surges in weakness, confirm before increasing your position. You don't need to be very smart; you need to be steady.

Finally, let me give you the most important advice: before placing an order, think first about how not to lose, then think about how to earn. When the signal arrives, you'll know when to act. If you've made a profit, just leave; never be attached to the battle.

Trading is not about who runs the fastest, but about who survives the longest. The cryptocurrency world is not a casino; it's a form of cultivation. When you truly understand it, you will become the one who controls the rhythm.
