In the crypto market, if you stay long enough, you'll notice an interesting phenomenon: the vast majority of retail investors' losses are not due to choosing the wrong coins, but rather entering at the wrong time and with the wrong approach.

I have observed some consistently profitable traders, and their methods are actually not that complicated. Whether the market is surging or consolidating sideways, as long as there is volatility, there are opportunities to take profits. The key is not about being smarter or luckier, but about understanding the market’s rhythm.

Over the years, I’ve seen many real cases. Some have grown their accounts tenfold within 30 days; others started with 1200U and rolled it into 5200U in less than 20 days. These are not isolated incidents but repeatable results. But why?

After careful analysis, most retail traders fall into similar traps:

**Correct direction but still losing?** You might have set your stop-loss too tight, or been shaken out before a breakout.

**Frequent trading leading to more losses?** Emotions driving your orders, without clear entry and exit logic, ultimately eating up all your profits with fees.

**Holding onto positions but always cutting at the top?** This indicates a problem with your exit plan, or no plan at all.

And those who are consistently profitable, their focus isn’t on using some fancy strategy, but on mastering these dimensions: rhythm control, position sizing, portfolio allocation, exit planning. It’s not some mysterious skill; simply put, it’s treating trading as a manageable system, not a gamble.

The crypto space is never short of opportunities. What’s missing? The ability to identify trends, the discipline to strictly follow strategies, and scientific logic for take-profit and stop-loss. When you keep getting caught in the cycle of "buy low, sell high" with a simple mindset, ask yourself: Am I always using the same wrong method?

This is the reality of surviving in the crypto world: 95% of retail traders are adding positions in the wrong direction. When they turn around, they often lose three times their principal. And in the process, they lose not just funds but also their correct understanding of the market.

If you’re stuck in this cycle—frequent losses, inability to control your hands, holding onto positions, and only emotion left after a strategy—then maybe it’s time to pause and re-examine your trading logic. The crypto market is not a luck game; it’s a skill that requires rhythm, planning, and discipline.
