Profits in the crypto market never appear out of thin air. I have verified this through actual trading— a profit of 12,500U came from my grasp of ZEC's market trend. At that time, the price was stuck at a key support level in a stalemate, and I judged this as a signal of energy accumulation. Later, when BEAT surged to a new high, a clear upper shadow appeared. I immediately switched to shorting, and 56,000U was subsequently credited to my account. Then, after PIPPIN experienced a long period of consolidation with decreasing volume and suddenly broke out with increased volume, I didn't hesitate and chased in, securing 23,000U.

These profits are not luck; they are executed through individual trades. But today, I want to talk not about these achievements themselves, but about what allowed me to survive amid intense volatility—trading discipline.

The main reason most people lose money in the crypto space is actually very simple: they feel they must participate in every opportunity, afraid of missing out, and as a result, they are repeatedly taught lessons by the market's random fluctuations. My strategy is completely opposite. To use a metaphor: the survival rule for hunters is to wait 90% of the time and only strike 10% of the time.

So, how do I do it specifically? First, I never enter a trade without a clear signal. This signal could be a volume breakout at a key level or an effective break of a trendline. In any case, there must be something on the technical side to confirm it. Second, before each trade, I set a stop-loss. Once the price approaches the stop-loss level, I withdraw decisively—no illusions. Finally, during an uptrend, I don’t close all positions at once; I take profits in batches, leaving some positions to follow the trend and continue running. This way, I ensure profits while avoiding regrets.

Everyone understands the uniqueness of the crypto market—24/7 trading, no limit on price movements, and huge volatility. In such an environment, the primary principle is to stay alive. Preserving the principal is always the top priority; making money comes second.
