Many people spend a lot of time in the crypto market, repeatedly falling into traps. A seasoned trader shared his methodology—starting with 100,000, growing the account to seven figures. The key is not the market itself, but mindset and execution.



He straightforwardly said: "The crypto market is like an emotional playground. Most people come in confused; only those who can maintain their composure can see where the opportunities are."

His trading framework is actually very clear:

**First Trick: Quit Greed**
Many fall into a vicious cycle—taking small profits and wanting to run, missing out on big trends; or holding onto losses stubbornly, ending up completely trapped. These are mindset issues. The professional approach is to have entries and exits—take profits when it’s right, cut losses when needed, and not let emotions dictate decisions.

**Second Trick: Keep a Close Watch on Mainstream Coins at Low Levels**
New coins flood the market, and while they look shiny, they are often traps. His strategy is to focus on mainstream coins like Bitcoin and Ethereum. When they drop to relatively low levels, he tests the waters with 10% of his position, and if confirmed stable, gradually adds more. This controls risk while not missing rebounds.

**Third Trick: Wait for a Clear Trend Before Increasing Positions**
Many try to bottom fish, but more chase after rebounds during sideways oscillations at the bottom. His approach is different—if the trend isn’t clear, stay put. Once the direction is confirmed, add 20%-30% more. Even if the purchase isn’t at the absolute lowest, the certainty is higher, making this a more cost-effective move.

**Fourth Trick: Take Profits in Time**
Whenever a wave of the market rises, his method is to take out the principal and half of the profits first, leaving the rest to fluctuate. This way, regardless of what happens next, the gains are secured, and the psychological pressure is much lighter.

The core of this methodology is: control desire, manage risk, follow the trend, and take profits timely. It may seem simple, but few can truly execute it. What the crypto market needs most isn’t clever people, but traders who can hold their fingers and stick to discipline.

That's right, it's a game of mindset, but very few people can truly hold their fingers back.

It sounds good, but how many can actually do it? I've tried myself, and in the end, I was still played by my emotions.

That's right, it's all about mindset and execution. I just fail at execution. Wait, did this guy really go from 100,000 to seven figures? I feel like I see stories like this every day, but only a few actually make money from it. The hardest part for me is "taking profits in time." I keep thinking it might go up even more... and as a result, I get caught.

Basically, it's a mindset issue, and this guy is right. I myself have repeatedly fallen into traps to realize that greed really needs to be controlled. Taking out the principal is a brilliant move, at least it reduces psychological pressure significantly. I no longer pay attention to new coins; I just focus on BTC and ETH at low levels. This method sounds simple, but actually executing it is really difficult. Most people still have itchy hands. When a big market trend comes, it's indeed easy to panic, but the key is to wait until the trend is clear before acting. Taking profits and cutting losses are easier to say than to do; many people fail because of emotions.

It sounds good, but how many can really do it? I've seen too many people talk about discipline, but when they act impulsively, everything is gone.
