The account growth over the past half month has made me rethink some fundamental questions about trading. Looking at the profit of +86,000 USDT, this achievement is not exactly astonishing, but it is indeed better than my previous expectations.



Some friends asked me how I did it. Honestly, it’s simply about doing less and doing it precisely. Most of the time, I am waiting; the number of actual trades I make is painfully few, but each one is at a critical point.

I’ve noticed an interesting phenomenon: many traders don’t make money not because they can’t understand market trends. Quite the opposite, their problem lies elsewhere—being unable to hold onto profits. When the market pulls back, they start doubting themselves; when it rises a little, they rush to take profits. This trading pattern ultimately results in earning a small amount of money while watching the big market pass by through their fingers.

**About Entry Positions**

I don’t blindly chase hot topics, nor do I listen to ambiguous rumors. I focus only on the confirmation of three core signals:

First is the accumulation range of the main force. By analyzing cost average lines and large holdings flow, you can sense where institutions are positioning. Second is abnormal volume movements. Whether volume is increasing or decreasing, it reflects completely different market sentiments. Third is whether key support levels are holding. This is the watershed that determines whether the trend can continue.

When these three signals appear simultaneously, I will take action. You’ll find that such entry points are often near the lowest point. I have indeed experienced a couple of false breakouts during this period; at those times, a large number of people were shaken out, but I persisted because I clearly knew that the main force was accumulating chips, not dumping.

**About Holding Mindset**

The past half month of holding positions has truly tested me psychologically. Paper losses, market fluctuations, overnight gaps—these are all extremely tormenting. But one thing I always remember: as long as the fundamental trend has not reversed, all short-term fluctuations are just noise.

You know what? Profits are like a snowball; as long as you don’t stop halfway, it will keep growing bigger. Watching the account grow day by day, that feeling is indeed addictive.

**Current Market Opportunities**

I won’t formalize a trading method because the market changes every day. Institutional strategies are adjusting, retail traders’ emotions are fluctuating, and technical patterns are evolving. What’s truly important is that you can keep up with this rhythm.

The market opportunities now are actually much richer than most people imagine. Different coins, different cycles, different sectors—all are creating chances. But the problem is, by the time you react, the opportunity has often already passed.

So if you’re still on the sidelines now, you’re a bit late. The window of opportunity is still open; whether you can seize it depends on your execution ability.

Honestly, I support the logic of doing less but doing it well, but most people simply can't do it. The pain point of not holding onto profits hits hard; I myself am also a quick break-even trader. Wait, can floating losses really be sustained for two or three weeks? I start doubting life in five minutes. 86,000 listens may not seem like much, but if you trade steadily, you've already surpassed many people. The key support level is a bit vague; how exactly do you determine it? I just want to ask, how do you distinguish a false breakout? I get cut every time.

actually, if you run a basic regression analysis on his entry signals, the r-squared value probably doesn't hold up under stress-testing. holding through noise isn't a strategy, it's just... survivorship bias dressed up nicely.

Basically, it's the same old trick—wait for the right moment and execute, don't follow the herd and chase highs or you'll never survive. 86,000 isn't much, but it's clear that the mentality has stabilized. Most people get wiped out by frequent trading.

Wait a moment, I truly understand the feeling of not being able to hold onto profits. I used to have the same problem—rising by 20% and wanting to sell, only to miss out on the doubles that followed.

Exactly, you're right. This wave is indeed the most亏 for those who can't hold on.

Not being able to hold is truly losing your foundation, there's nothing wrong with that statement.

Wait, I really feel the pain of not being able to hold onto profits... I was washed out like that before. --- 86,000 is indeed stable, but the key is to have the right mindset. I still tend to panic during fluctuations. --- The logic of stacking three signals sounds reliable, but in actual operation, I always feel that my judgment is not accurate. --- You're right, the most亏 is to wait and see... but I don't dare to hold heavy positions anymore. --- Every time I read articles like this, I get pumped up, but once the market opens, I start doubting life again. --- I agree with the snowball theory, but the problem is how to ensure you don't get fooled by false breakouts. --- The saying that opportunities are in the window period has worn my ears out, but the number of times I can actually seize them is few.

That's right, it's a mindset issue... not holding on is the fatal flaw. Patience and execution are indeed the two most challenging qualities. I can relate to the floating loss period; it was really agonizing. 86,000 isn't a small amount, why be so modest haha. I need to remember this idea of three signals appearing simultaneously. Stopping halfway means all efforts are in vain; that hits hard. The opportunity is indeed there, it just depends on reaction speed. It seems I still need to learn patience; I can't be itchy-handed.
