You don't need to create the waves yourself; the key is to understand the rhythm of the waves and ride them at the most opportune moments. Recently, my operations with XMR, ZEC, and $CLO follow this logic.
Take $XMR as an example, it's like a fast and powerful wave. I jump on when the price breaks through key levels, but immediately withdraw once the momentum starts to fade the next day. No greed, just taking the most straightforward profits.
The situation with $ZEC is the opposite. I perceive a lack of upward momentum on a larger cycle, so I wait for the daily rebound to fail before entering short positions, holding until the price hits the next support zone. This is a pre-judgment of a tide retreat.
$CLO is an opportunity lurking. It has been grinding at the bottom for a long time until the hourly chart suddenly surges with volume, prompting me to cautiously enter. Once the trend clearly unfolds, I hold firmly.
These three trades seem different, but the underlying logic is the same—
First, no rush. Wait for the market to clearly outline the structure; don't guess prematurely. Second, enter precisely at the true "starting point." Third, once the thrust weakens or the target is reached, it's time to exit.
I never try to predict how the wave will move; I just feel it with my heart. A good trading system is like a surfboard—even if a judgment is off sometimes, it can protect you from being overwhelmed and provide solid support at critical moments. Risks are within control, and profits naturally follow.
The real joy of trading lies in this process of dancing in sync with the market rhythm.

The surfing analogy is good, but the problem is that most people simply can't understand the rhythm of the waves...

Oh my god, I really missed the CLO surge this time. Seeing you eat so smoothly makes me jealous.

Surfing is a metaphor I like, but I missed that wave of $XMR, and I feel a bit regretful.
Really, many people are just greedy, only willing to be satisfied after eating the last piece of meat... Smart people are all like you.
I remember that short position on $ZEC; it felt much harder than going long.

Surfing is a good metaphor, but I tend to overestimate my ability to read the waves, and as a result, I get caught during a pullback...

Sounds very elegant, but I just want to ask, when XMR's volatility diminishes, how do you manage to withdraw instantly? Do you do it blindly?

Surfing is a perfect metaphor, but to be honest, most people are just blindly rushing, only to be washed back ashore by the waves.
The real difficulty is the "feeling" — this thing can't be taught.
Trading and surfing are a bit similar.
