Six months ago, I was holding 1,000 yuan in my account, feeling anxious all day. Now, I've turned it into 1.23 million.

To be honest, I feel a bit ashamed. My biggest flaw is one—being too impatient.

When the market rises a few points, I want to chase. Seeing others' screenshots makes my hands tremble. Once I incur a loss, I immediately want to make it back. The final result is very painful: I drag my feet when making profits, but when losing, I lose everything in a flash, and my emotions swing like a roller coaster.

The real turning point came after I set an unbreakable rule for myself: **Refuse to take trades that say "I'll miss the boat today and regret it tomorrow."**

From that moment on, my entire trading system was simplified to just four ironclad rules.

**Rule 1: Control the number of trades.** Operate at most twice a day, and wait during other times. The market never owes you any opportunity.

**Rule 2: Only profit within confirmed trends.** I don't gamble on breaking news or scary surges. I wait until the trend direction is clear before jumping in. This may be slower, but it rarely results in nasty pullbacks.

**Rule 3: Capital always comes first.** Before opening a position, I ask myself not "How many times can I multiply this?" but "If I lose to the worst extent, can I still sleep peacefully?" I never take trades I can't sleep over.

**Rule 4: Take profits immediately upon reaching your goal.** Once today's target is achieved, shut down the software without hesitation. The most terrifying thing in crypto isn't losing money, but the "I made money but want to gamble again," which can wipe everything out.

By strictly following this counterintuitive system, my account gradually grew over six months. I didn't notice exactly when I crossed the 1 million mark.

There are no divine operations, no luck involved—just a series of trades built on "not making fatal mistakes."

Interestingly, my friends who can consistently make money share a similar trait: they may not be the smartest, but they have extremely strong execution skills.

The crypto world never favors the most aggressive players. It only rewards those who can survive until the end and haven't been wiped out. That's the truth.
