I have observed many traders, and in the end, those who survive are not the ones who tinker every day.
The key point is simple: no big trend, just don’t open a position. Many people get caught up in this—thinking they might miss out if they don’t trade. In fact, frequent trading is the biggest misconception. Over a year, fees, slippage, and psychological costs all eat away at your gains.
What should be the logic of trading?
First, act only when there is a genuine major signal. It’s not small rebounds or minor fluctuations; it must be a momentum capable of changing the pattern. Second, without a solid profit foundation, never add to your position—that’s the bottom line for survival. Many liquidation stories stem from a single thought: "Let me add one more try."
On the strategy level, the simpler, the more profitable. What to watch? The strongest assets for long positions, the weakest for short positions—just that straightforward. Don’t bother with complicated indicator combinations; those only lead to analysis paralysis.
The most crucial thing is mindset: low frequency, high patience. True profit opportunities are only a few—wait for trend confirmation, use the appropriate position size. If wrong, cut losses to survive; if right, hold tight and push profits to the limit.
A realistic figure: capturing three to five such opportunities a year can already change your expectations. If you take it seriously for a few years and leverage the power of compound interest, changing your life is not just a dream.
Don’t get stuck in daily small fluctuations—that’s self-destruction. The market is always there, opportunities won’t disappear, but those who can keep the rhythm are always in the minority. This is the game rule of the crypto market.

That's so true. I've seen too many people mess around intraday and end up with their accounts wiped out. The ones who last the longest are actually just sleeping.
Three to five big opportunities a year are enough; the key is to be patient and endure the days of not acting.

That's so true. I'm the kind of person who keeps messing around every day and only realizes it now.
Frequent trading really is just giving money to the exchange; the fees eat up half of the profit.
This mindset needs to be gradually corrected; it's tough.
Just want to ask how many people can truly achieve low-frequency trading. I'm still struggling anyway.
That phrase about adding positions hit me hard. How many times have I fallen for "try one more time"?
Simple and straightforward is actually the most profitable. I need to remember this logic.
Is three to five opportunities a year enough? It doesn't seem that easy.
Doing nothing is much harder than watching the market every day; everyone who has experienced it knows the psychological torment.
Compound interest sounds very appealing, but the premise is that you need to live long enough to benefit from it.

That's right, all those buddies around me who check the market every day are gone now.
I'm going to try one more time; this sentence has really caused many people to fail.
Three to five opportunities a year are enough; the rest of the time, just shut up and watch the show.
Frequent trading just gives the exchange your fees—just thinking about it makes my heart ache.
Simple strategies are the most profitable; I agree with that. Don't make things complicated for yourself.
Low frequency and high patience—easy to say, but really hard to do.
Wait for the trend to confirm before acting; cut losses if wrong—that's the way to survive.
Watching others make money without following along—that's probably the hardest discipline.
I realize I just can't sit still; I always want to do something.
Compound interest accumulated over years can truly change your game, not just bragging.

Exactly right, I'm the kind of person who gets eaten alive by transaction fees. Now I get annoyed just looking at the candlestick charts.

Damn, this is what I've realized over the past two years: the group of people who constantly watch the market are now gone.
Less trading is really the secret; trading fees will kill you.
Wait for big signals before acting; simple and straightforward can make you money.
Compounding over a few years can truly turn your life around.
If you're wrong, run; if you're right, hold tight—this is the survival rule.
