In the crypto market, the key to profit is not the size of your funds, but execution ability and risk awareness. To survive long-term and achieve steady gains, the core element is one word: discipline.



Set clear take-profit targets and then execute decisively. When the price reaches your psychological expectation, exit immediately and do not be tempted by subsequent rallies. Market opportunities are continuous; only those who survive until the end have the right to talk about making money. This is not motivational talk, but the basic logic of spot trading—earning the part you can actually consume, rather than chasing every wave of the market.

Small funds have their own strategies. Short-term trading can indeed recover from pullbacks, but the prerequisite is that you can identify genuine signals from candlestick patterns. However, there is a strict requirement: small funds must be flat during rest periods, even in spot trading. This lesson is painfully clear—many get caught after a night’s sleep, swallowing their gains directly.

The process from starting with 10,000 yuan to realizing profits proves that the amount of capital is not the decisive factor. The reason for frequent losses at the beginning is simple—greed. Later, realizing to only take what you can actually catch, losses turn into gains. This market is not short of opportunities; what’s lacking is people who can survive long enough.

Two final suggestions: don’t dream of getting rich overnight or relying on a single trade to make a fortune; be clear-headed about contracts and leverage. While some can manage them well and profit from them, that is ultimately a game for a minority. In most cases, a steady spot strategy combined with strict discipline is the best choice for ordinary people.

That's right, discipline is the key, greed can really make you go back to the pre-liberation era overnight. I've seen too many cases of getting caught after a sleep; when there's a little profit, you think it can multiply tenfold, but in the end, it's a quick wipeout. Don't mess with leverage on contracts; just stick to stable spot trading, what's the point? Starting with 10,000 yuan can also make money; the key is whether you have discipline. Those who hold on stubbornly are basically all dead. Taking profits sounds simple but is extremely difficult to do; when it looks like it's still going up, the finger just can't press the sell button. What this market really lacks isn't opportunity, but people who can survive to see the bull market. Most have already been liquidated. Don't think about getting rich overnight; that's gambling. We're just here to work.

Exactly right, that's the point. Greed is a knife hanging over your head; so many people have fallen here, waking up to find their accounts wiped out—it's a history of blood and tears.

Discipline is really the hardest to maintain. It's easy to talk about but extremely difficult to practice. I understand all too well the feeling of waking up and being trapped in a position.

Discipline is easy to talk about, but only when you actually do it do you realize how difficult it is. I used to be greedy and ruin everything, but now I finally understand. I personally experienced being caught in a short position after waking up from a nap. That lesson was truly bloodily painful. Now during the休息期, I am firmly in cash. Avoid trading contracts; I’ve seen too many people get liquidated due to leverage. It’s not worth it. It’s really just two words: “long life.” Those who make it to the end are all earning quite a lot. Take profit might seem simple, but executing it is the hardest, especially when you see the coin still rising.

ngl this hits different. it's basically mile 20 of the marathon where most runners hit the wall—discipline separates the survivors from the burnt-out sprinters. sleeping on bags and waking up liquidated? that's exactly why i've been preaching DCA over heroic swing trades lmao
