There is a trading buddy who started with 30,000 yuan and turned it into eight figures in just seven years. At first, I thought it was just luck, but after talking several times, I realized—what truly determines victory or defeat isn't how crazy the returns are, but his extremely simplified and eerily focused trading logic.

He’s not the kind of trader who spends all day flashing K-lines or chasing hot topics. He rarely looks at news, and he definitely doesn’t follow hot lists. Every day, he repeats three things: review the charts, analyze mistakes, and optimize misalignments. It sounds incredibly dull, but it’s this restraint and repetition that allow him to navigate through multiple bull and bear cycles.

His success principles, I’ve summarized into five points:

**1. Single Breakout: Shape trading instincts into conditioned reflexes**
Don’t mess around with a bunch of indicators or switch strategies every now and then. Stick to one pattern until you can operate it blindly. True discipline means—day after day, doing one thing to the top level.

**2. Don’t bet on the wind, let compound interest take the lead**
MEME coins,妖币, and various new narratives—he basically avoids these unless the structure is very clear. His underlying logic is simple: instead of betting on a single big hit to double your money, rely on a reliable mechanism to snowball repeatedly.

**3. Position distribution, standardized rolling operations**
Initially, only hold 1-2 targets, and even with more capital, don’t exceed 3. It’s not all-in, but continuously adding or reducing small amounts within the trend, gradually lowering the cost basis. This way, he can catch big moves and avoid losing everything from one mistake.

**4. Separation of time dimensions—big cycle orientation, small cycle precision**
When judging the big direction, look at higher-level structures, capital flows, and long-term trends. But the actual timing for placing orders depends on short-term charts for precise entries. Completely abandoning the retail “buy on news” approach.

**5. Always keep an empty cup, losses are tuition**
He doesn’t believe in any single methodology or school. He studies various technical systems but only absorbs what suits him. Every loss is a required lesson—never blames the market, only asks himself where his execution failed.

This logic sounds simple, but truly mastering it is the strongest competitive edge in trading.
