#数字资产市场动态 Newcomers frequently lose money, veterans consistently profit. To be honest, it all comes down to one word—self-discipline.

I've been studying crypto trading for 8 years. It's not about talent; it's purely about a system of "being able to control yourself at critical moments." Today, I'll break down this system into detailed parts. Those who can understand will have insight.

**Things to do before entering the market:**
Not all market conditions are worth participating in. The daily chart determines the overall direction, while the 30-minute chart helps find specific entry points—many weak-looking candles on the daily chart actually form quite beautiful structures on the hourly chart. The next day, they often open lower and then rally with a bullish candle. Opportunities like this occur only two or three times a year, enough to last a whole year.

**Is the trend correct?**
If the direction is chaotic and the structure is inconsistent, even if you luck out and make money, it's just a fluke. Trading with the trend always has the lowest cost; trading against the trend is just paying tuition with your money.

**Where the hot spots are, stay there:**
Follow the capital flow for short-term trades. If you're not in the hot spots, you're just wasting effort. Not only does it waste time, but it also increases the risk of getting trapped.

**A plan is the soul of trading:**
Impulsive actions are the main cause of losses. Think about how to act first, then execute. Don't let emotions hijack your positions.

**Don't treat others' words as gospel:**
Others' analysis is just a reference; your own judgment is the helm.

**Set your direction before choosing coins:**
Experts do this—if the direction is correct, even average coins can make profits; if the direction is wrong, even leading coins can be reversed and killed.

**Enter during the rise, don't try to catch the bottom:**
Prices always follow the path of least resistance. Coins in an upward channel face the least resistance. Trying to bottom-fish is gambling with nearly zero success rate.

**Stop after big gains or big losses:**
Any operation at this point is driven by emotion—chasing profits or adding to positions. The success rate is almost zero. Take a day off from trading, clear your mind, and your thinking will naturally become clearer.

I've used these 8 rules for 8 years, with an accuracy rate exceeding 90%.

Making money truly relies not on some magical technique but on system + discipline + execution. Embedding this system in your mind will reveal that many losses can be avoided altogether. Many people fail simply because of a lack of execution; even the best plan is useless without it.
