I have been trading cryptocurrencies for many years. If you ask me if I have found any methods, I would say a bit. I think in the end there are two key points: stick to discipline and don't be greedy.


Disciplining oneself mainly means resisting the obsession of being afraid of missing out, not buying until the expected entry point is reached, to avoid impulsive buying. Not being greedy mainly means resisting the obsession of not wanting to sell when reaching the profit expectation, to prevent holding on after making a profit. In fact, strictly speaking, not being greedy can also be seen as self-discipline, adhering to the profit expectations one has set, leaving when the time comes, without attachment, and not regretting missed selling opportunities. So, in essence, it boils down to one thing—discipline.
However, regarding this point, I feel very ashamed. After experiencing countless painful lessons, I still can't fully achieve it today, so I haven't made a fortune and am still struggling.
Can the market be predicted? Can future trends be analyzed? I don't want to argue about this; I think the statement summarized by Jiang Zhuoer back then is very insightful: look bullish in the long term, look to God in the short term.
Bitcoin is bullish in the long run, and this should be unquestionable in the cryptocurrency trading circle. But why are so few people making money? Because for most traders, this is just a correct but useless statement. It's like me telling you that sticking to a long-term habit of waking up early to run is beneficial for your health, right? Very few people can actually do it.
For most traders, a long-term investment is too long to wait. That's why many people come to the high-risk "coin circle" to trade, as they are eager to make money, just like the great man said back in the day: "Ten thousand years is too long; we must seize the day."
So everyone still needs to trade regularly, and the short-term market is truly unpredictable. No one knows what will happen in the next minute in the market. No matter how impressive your candlestick chart analysis is, you cannot predict when conflicts will erupt in the Middle East, when the SEC will introduce new policies, or when a market crash will occur in Mentougou...
For an ordinary trader, the only way to counter the unknown risks of the market is to rely on discipline, buying when it's time to buy and selling when it's time to sell according to the established strategy, and not being swayed at other times. It seems very simple, right?
However, it is so tormenting. I understand the reasoning and know what I should do. It seems not difficult to do, but I just can't do it. Do you think it's difficult? Do you think it's heart-wrenching?
