#数字资产动态追踪 Want to make steady profits in the crypto world? The hardest part is not the technical analysis, but having patience💪



A few days ago, a friend came to me with $5000 asking how to operate, afraid of missing the market. My advice was straightforward: "Don't move yet."

He was a bit confused—why wait when the market is so good? I told him, what’s missing is never the opportunity, but the right timing to act. I was a cautionary example in my early years, losing my five-figure account down to a few hundred dollars because of frequent reckless trades, with no rhythm at all.

Later, I set a strict rule for myself: no more than two trades per week. If I’m not confident, I just watch. The first time I followed this rule, I waited a full 4 days until SOL hit a key support level for a retest, then went short for 6 hours and made $1100✅. That’s when I realized that my previous losses weren’t due to poor technical skills, but because I was trading too frequently, confusing myself.

Using $5000 to trade, the secret is never about doing more, but doing precisely. Focus your main energy on larger structure, volume, and market sentiment. Every trade should have a plan, every trade should be recorded, so your account can grow steadily. Conversely, those who trade frequently every day often blow up at some unnoticed moment.

Markets have countless opportunities, but your principal only one. Drop greed, and you’ll go further. The next wave of opportunity is coming. To eat steadily, remember this: first control your hands, then seize the most confident trade.

That's so true, the biggest winner is the one who can hold back and not act.

Frequent trading is really the main cause of account shrinkage. Those who can't quit this bad habit have to pay tuition fees. --- Wait, is it really easy to catch such opportunities when key support levels are retested? It seems most people miss out. --- You're right, but executing it is too difficult. Watching market fluctuations makes you want to act, and maintaining the right mindset is truly a practice. --- Is it better to go all-in with $5000 instead of meticulous trading? Just kidding, that mindset is basically giving money to the exchange. --- The rule of two trades per week sounds simple, but in reality, probably less than 5% can stick to it. --- Controlling your hands is indeed as challenging as technical analysis. Many people fail here even if their technical skills are solid. --- $1100 sounds good, but what's the cost? Turning $1100 in 4 days might not be worth it.

It sounds a bit reasonable, but I still think waiting too long might cause missed opportunities.

Holding back your hand is really the hardest part, even more difficult than watching the market. I also went through the days of frequent trading in the early years, and my account indeed shrank all the way... Now I understand, holding a position with no assets is also a form of operation.

Really, this is truly heartfelt advice. I used to be the same way—making over ten trades a day, and as a result, my account dropped rapidly. --- 5000U may not seem like much, but frequent trading can indeed turn it into 500U. I've seen it too many times. --- I agree with waiting for support levels, but honestly, most people can't wait; psychological preparation is too difficult. --- The key is to keep a trading log; otherwise, you can't see where you're going wrong and will just keep repeating the same mistakes. --- Honestly, I'm also trying the "two trades per week" rule, and I feel my mindset has become much more stable. --- So now that the market is picking up, it's time to start that kind of frequent bottom-fishing again—cycle repeats. --- 1100U sounds good, but have you ever lost the same amount? That's the real test. --- That last sentence is spot on—your principal is truly only one share; you can't afford to lose more.
