I entered the world of trading at the age of 25. Over ten years have passed in the blink of an eye. I have seen too many people experience ups and downs in the market, and I have also seen many turn their funds into a snowball through discipline and patience. If there is a secret to success, it’s simply "steady and persistent, living long enough."

The first line of defense is position sizing and stop-losses. Every time I enter a trade, I only allocate a small portion of my total capital, setting the stop-loss level in advance to lock in potential losses within an acceptable range. The benefit of this approach is that you will never be wiped out by a single mistake. Failure is common; the key is to survive until the next opportunity.

Trend is the language of the market and also my North Star for trading. Rebounds during a downtrend and pullbacks during an uptrend are the truly high-value entry points. Going against the market? That’s not trading; that’s gambling. I gave up on that long ago.

Coins that experience short-term crazy surges look tempting, but that’s playing with fire. When prices skyrocket and emotions run high, the risks are often terrifyingly high, and I never touch such assets. The line between trading and gambling is quite clear: one is methodical, the other relies entirely on luck.

Tools like MACD and volume are not meant to predict the future but to confirm whether a trend has truly established. Especially volume—sometimes it explains more than price does.

The biggest risk in trading is getting the direction wrong. Whether short-term or medium- to long-term, your target must stay within an upward channel. No matter how fancy the technical analysis, it’s useless if the trend isn’t aligned. Stick to trading assets that follow the trend, and you can earn steadily all the way.

Every week, I spend time reviewing and analyzing my trades. The market changes, and so should your strategies. If you don’t evolve, you’ll only be eliminated by the market.

Ultimately, investing isn’t about how frequently you trade; it’s about how strong your risk control and execution are. Make fewer mistakes and trade steadily, and profits will naturally flow to you like a tide.
