Many people ask me, why can't they make money in the crypto world? They look at candlestick charts, understand technical indicators, choose the right coins, and yet still end up empty-handed.

I've seen too many traders like this. Their biggest problem isn't technical analysis, but execution. Whenever a market is about to start moving, they quietly withdraw. They see a 5% profit and immediately run away, only to watch the main upward wave just beginning — I believe many people have experienced this regret.

I discussed this issue with a friend. He said he just wants to earn steadily. I told him directly: there is only one prerequisite — believe in the rhythm.

**The key is not chasing huge profits, but disciplined position rotation**

The strategy we later adopted is simple, but requires ironclad execution:

**Confirm the trend before acting** — don’t guess the top blindly, don’t force the bottom, only enter clear market conditions

**Keep initial positions small** — no more than 15% of the principal on the first entry, consider adding only after profits have accumulated

**Be ruthless with losses** — cut losses immediately at 3%, don’t hold onto hope; be patient and hold when in profit

This approach may sound unremarkable, but it hits the dead end for most retail investors. Failed traders often fall because of poor execution, not technical analysis.

**Practical trading: from hesitation to confident transformation**

Recently, we did a small experiment around the ETH ecosystem. I told him to keep the initial capital within 1000U, with each trade’s stop loss firmly set at 3%.

The first trade earned 5%, and he wanted to take profits. I forced him to hold, insisting on waiting until an 8% target. He started to get a bit impatient, but later — he understood.

This is not gambling; it’s giving yourself a chance.
