Recently, I observed an interesting phenomenon. In the cryptocurrency market, those who make money are often not the ones predicting the market every day, but rather the traders with strong execution ability.

Today, I chatted with a seasoned trader who shared a few recent swing trades. He mentioned that among his followers, some have accumulated significant profits by strictly following their strategies—so much so that a follower joked that, at this pace, achieving goals like buying a new car this year is entirely possible.

The logic behind this is actually quite eye-opening: many people think that making money in this market depends on being smart or lucky. In reality, those who truly benefit from market movements are not the ones constantly making predictions.

What do traders who consistently profit from the market have in common? Here are a few key points:

**Act on signals and follow stop-losses.** Don’t get emotional, don’t feel bad about losses, and don’t try to outsmart yourself by changing plans impulsively. Many people fail because of temporary thoughts like "It might still go up" or "Let me wait a bit longer."

**Mental resilience is the real skill.** Predictions are always uncertain; discipline in execution is what counts. In this unpredictable market, a person’s psychological resilience and discipline often determine their final gains.

**Stick to effective strategies.** Find a trading framework that suits you and repeat it, rather than frequently changing your approach.

Stories of wealth in the crypto world are endless, but behind those success stories are fundamental qualities. It’s not that you are smarter than others, but that you can better control your emotions.
