Every time I review my trades, I always think, “If only I had taken a bigger position back then.” But after walking this trading path for a while, I’ve realized that those who truly make money don’t rely on regret—they rely on discipline.
A few years ago, I was obsessed with technical analysis, packing my screen with all kinds of indicators and writing detailed analysis reports. But what happened? The money I made during the bull market was all given back in one market correction. That’s when I realized that complexity doesn’t equal effectiveness.
In the past three months, I’ve switched to a completely opposite approach. I no longer look at candlestick patterns or chase so-called 100x coins. I focus on just one thing—where the money is flowing. The movements of big capital in mainstream coins are more telling than any technical indicator. Using a rolling position strategy, I’ve gradually grown my principal from 8,000 USDT to 100,000 USDT, with a take-profit success rate of around 85%, and I haven’t hit a single major loss along the way.
There are three core points. First, follow the money, not the charts. Price drops aren’t scary; what’s scary is when big on-chain holders start to exit. As long as smart money is still in, there are still opportunities. Second, always enter in batches. Divide each opportunity into three position sizes: open a test position, add more after the trend is confirmed, and lock in some profits once it’s in the green. Each stop loss is controlled within 2%, cut losses quickly if wrong, and keep adding if right. Third, move opposite to the crowd’s emotions. When the market is panicking, I dare to enter; when everyone is FOMOing, I’m already taking profits in batches.
To put it simply: stay steady, don’t bet on miracles, and respect every loss. Only earn money you can understand, only take actions with high certainty. If you’re still stuck in a cycle of losses, maybe it’s time to change your approach.

It's the same old "I get it now" story—tenfold gains in three months, 85% take-profit rate... Just listen and move on. If they really had those skills, they'd have cashed out long ago instead of still teaching here.

Turning 8,000U into 100,000 is a bit of a bold claim, but the logic is sound.

Roll from 8,000 to 100,000? That number sounds far-fetched, but some people can actually do it. The key is still discipline; I've messed up too many times because of my emotions.

That's right, discipline is definitely a real skill. But I think the hardest part is execution, because human nature is inherently greedy.
I'm also using the method of tracking fund flows, and it's indeed much more reliable than just watching the candlestick charts. However, it does require some on-chain data analysis skills.
