After this round of market, my core insight is only one—it's not about earning more, but about stepping in at the right moment.
Many people will blame "luck," but those who truly understand the market are clear that this is the result of a series of correct decisions continuously stacking up.
The most aggressive move was the $20 wave. At that time, market sentiment was already at its peak, everyone was shouting bullish, but I reversed and opened a short. Not guessing the top, but the market structure had already given signals. It finally dropped all the way to $8, directly pocketing 230,000U, clean and beautiful.
The next day, I switched to $ZEC. Entered around $500, not going all-in or gambling hard, but following the trend with moderate operations. When it reached $648, I took profits, earning 63,000U.
Then came $FIL.
On-chain data told me that big funds were quietly building positions, and it wasn't retail behavior. I didn't go all-in right away; I started with small positions around $1000. When trading volume exploded and the structure was confirmed, I gradually added more. I took profits when it rebounded to 2.6 times, not greedy for the last drop.
Summing up these ten days of operations, there are no fancy tricks, just three iron rules:
1. Do not take sides when emotions are at their hottest.
2. Never hold heavy positions before confirmation.
3. Say goodbye immediately when profits are made.
Our purpose in watching the market is never to "look at the ups and downs" with our eyes, but to analyze the structure, study volume, and capture capital movements with our brains.
This market does not reward those who work hard blindly; it only rewards traders who are well-prepared, daring to act, and knowing when to stop.
The new signals have already surfaced, but not everyone should follow the trend and jump in. Those who don't understand position management are easily shaken out at high levels; those without stop-losses will eventually give back all their gains.
The ones who survive until the end and smile are never the most aggressive, but the calmest, clearest-headed, and self-restrained group.
Whether you choose to follow along or continue to observe depends on whether you are determined to stand on the side of "long-term consistent wins."

What you said makes sense; the core is self-restraint.
---
I also saw that wave of taking the opposite position to short; that's really bold.
---
How are those who go all in every day doing now? They must all be trapped.
---
Position management can really save lives; one of my frens lost all their profits for not setting a stop loss.
---
This logic sounds simple, but executing it requires iron discipline.
---
The last sentence hit the mark; choosing between long-term steady wins and short-term wealth is truly a dilemma.
---
Not taking sides, not having a heavy position, and stopping in time sounds easy but is really hard to do.
---
On-chain data and trading volume indeed have their tricks; retail investors generally can't see it.
---
Those who are greedy for the last bite of soup always end up losing their entire savings; I've seen it too many times.
---
I just want to ask, can this operation be replicated in a month?

Oh my god, 230,000 U in one move, this brother is really fierce.
What were you thinking when you opened the short position? Were you really that confident?
The last sentence hit me—sure win vs quick win, most people probably chose the wrong one.
It sounds good, but the key is to withstand the drawdown. That's the mindset I lack.
However, the FIL move was really well executed in the details. Those who didn't greedily take the last bit of profit earned the most steadily.

That's right, but most people simply can't do it.
---
I just want to ask, where is your stop-loss set, and do you really stick to it strictly?
---
It's the same old story. The key is when to short and when to go long. No one can get it right every time.
---
As someone who bought the dip halfway up the mountain, it really hurts to hear.
---
With such accurate on-chain data, why haven't you become rich every day?
---
I've heard "stay calm and restrained" so many times, but I still get cut.
---
Counter-attack shorting that wave was indeed fierce, but how many times a year do such opportunities come?
---
I believe in the profit screenshots, but the preachy part is a bit greasy.
---
So here's the question: how can retail investors spot signals of large funds building positions?
---
Honestly, I respect the most that you don't greedily go for the last drop of soup.

ngl the "timing over grinding" thesis hits different when you actually backtest it... well technically most people just see the gainz and miss the risk management part lol

Basically, it’s about knowing when to stay silent and when to take action.
It sounds easy, but very few can actually do it.
That 230,000 short position was absolutely correct. When everyone on the internet was shouting long, I went against the trend—such courage is extraordinary.
But I’m more curious about how to interpret these signals. Can you teach me?

Damn, 230,000 to make a wave and directly take off? I really don’t have the courage to short against it.
---
It looks easy, but truly staying calm and not chasing highs is the reason we can’t survive.
---
Stop-loss is easy to say, but when it’s at a high level, who doesn’t want to wait a bit longer?
---
That last sip of soup is indeed tempting, but after being shaken out multiple times, you understand.
---
I’m still debating whether to try my luck with $1000 FIL, but this guy has already made a fortune.
---
The most intense moment is to short against the trend; isn’t that the gap between experts and us?
---
Being well-prepared is easy to say, but actually doing it is really hard.
---
If position management could truly be achieved, we’d be financially free by now.
---
Not greedily going for that last sip of soup, that’s true, but who can really do it?
---
On-chain data + trading volume + capital movements, combined, are what make the money.
---
This guy’s summary is correct, but the execution ability required is just too high.
---
Let me ask back, as retail investors like us, following new signals is probably just to be the bag holder.
---
Staying calm, clear-headed, and self-restrained—easy to say, but doing it is a form of cultivation.
