To be honest, when I first entered the space, I also saw it as a playground for getting rich overnight. Every time I lost money, I would comfort myself by saying "I'll recover next time," but my account balance was like a bucket with a hole in the bottom—the more I tried, the more it shrank.
Later, I realized: what ordinary players truly lack isn't some advanced technical indicator, but a replicable rhythm for consistent profits.
Why does your money always mysteriously disappear?
After observing around, I found that 95% of people are making the same mistakes:
**Stubbornly Holding Against the Trend**: When the price drops, they keep averaging down, thinking they can lower their cost, but end up getting trapped deeper and deeper.
**Emotional Roller Coaster**: As soon as they make a little profit, they panic and cash out, missing out on the real big moves; when they lose, they refuse to cut their losses, insisting on holding until liquidation.
**No Braking System**: Even when a single loss exceeds 10% of the account, they keep daydreaming about a rebound, and finally have to cut their losses in tears.
What about those who consistently make profits? Their secret is actually simple—replace impulsive decisions with mechanical rules, and use a fixed rhythm to counter the market's wild swings.
Two real cases around me
**Case 1**: A friend of mine started with only 1500U in capital, aiming for a steady 3%-5% profit each day. He wasn't trying to double his money overnight, just focused on 1 or 2 highly probable opportunities, and called it a day when done. After 30 days, his account balance grew to 5600U. The core logic wasn't about hitting it big in one go, but about accumulating small daily wins and compounding them.
**Case 2**: Another friend who came back from the brink of liquidation relied on the "Three-Three Position Management"—30% of funds for quick in-and-out trades, 30% for riding major trends, and the remaining 40% always kept in the account as a lifeline. This way, no matter how the market changes, he's never fully exposed to risk.
The essence of profit: Rhythm > Prediction
Now, my trading style is pretty laid-back. I don't pay attention to fancy candlestick patterns, nor do I stay up late staring at the screen. I just do three things:
**Fixed Trading Times**: I only trade during the time when my emotions are most stable, eliminating impulsive entries.
**Scientific Position Sizing**: The max position for any single coin is capped at 20%. When I make a profit, I immediately withdraw my principal.
**Mechanical Take-Profit**: As soon as I hit a 5% profit, I instantly reduce my position by 30% to lock in gains, saving ammo for the next opportunity.
This strategy works especially well in range-bound markets—the smaller the volatility, the better it is for small-range, "shearing" arbitrage.
If you’re stuck in the vicious cycle of "buying high and selling low → liquidation → recharging," try asking yourself these three questions:
After every loss, do you always think about making it back immediately?
Do you tend to go all-in impulsively when the trend is about to end?
When your preset stop-loss is hit, are you willing to execute it?
The harshest truth in this market is: most people's losses come from refusing to admit that they need a trading system. When you start making decisions based on rules instead of feelings, the market turns from a harvesting machine into your money printer.

Pinning your hopes on turning a profit is no different from gambling with your life.
