After more than ten years of struggling in the Digital Money market, I finally realized a simple yet profound truth: most investors lose not because the market doesn't provide opportunities, but because they set traps for themselves.



When I first entered this field, I was also overwhelmed by the short-term profits of others, always worrying about missing every wave of increases. As a result, I kept chasing highs and selling lows, and my account gradually shrank. After countless lessons, I realized that for small funds to survive in this market, the key is not to pursue speed, but to learn to wait.

What is true investment wisdom? By accurately grasping two or three major upward trends in a year and holding positions patiently for a while, the returns will be enough to cover the living expenses for the entire year. Those who operate with full positions every day and react hastily are essentially deviating from the realm of trading, closer to a gambling mentality.

I have seen too many newcomers who haven't even mastered the most basic technical analysis yet dare to put all their funds at stake. However, the real market is different from a demo account; a major mistake can lead to complete elimination. There are also people who overly trust news; as soon as there is positive news, they invest immediately, not realizing that by the time the news is public, the price has already reflected it, and the main players may take the opportunity to sell off.

This market always follows the rule of "the anticipation leads the way"; when the good news is realized, it often marks the beginning of bad news. When everyone is aware of a certain piece of information, the investment opportunity has basically disappeared.

The sense of market rhythm is particularly important. During the adjustment period, the rebound is frustratingly slow; but once it starts to accelerate downwards, the rebound can come swiftly and fiercely. The judgment of the bottom and the top is essentially the ability to grasp the market rhythm.

Do not reduce positions before holidays; this is a lesson I learned after paying a high tuition. I used to think I would be the exception, but once the holiday arrived, asset prices plummeted like a waterfall, and months of profits evaporated in an instant. In the face of market laws, luck is of no use.

My investment strategy is actually very simple: for medium-term operations, maintain sufficient cash to make swings, sell high and buy low; for short-term, focus on varieties with high trading volume, combining short-cycle candlesticks and technical indicators to find trading rhythms.

Over more than a decade of investment experience, I have come to deeply understand that profitability does not rely on luck, but rather stems from strict execution. Whether one can profit in the market is already reflected in one's investment habits. Do not fantasize about becoming rich overnight; first learn to operate steadily before discussing victory.

Now I often help newcomers analyze and review their trades, helping them identify the root causes of their losses. Sometimes, grasping a key moment or having a clear line of thought can save an account on the brink of collapse. I once groped in the darkness of the market, and now I hope to use the light of my experience to illuminate the path forward for more people.

It's another bloody lesson! When you can't control your hands, everything you do is a pitfall.

When you open a ticket, you're just thinking about how to get out of it. Who can withstand it?

Chasing the price and selling low, what is that all about?

Can you really talk about operations when you can just lie on an office chair and make a lot of money?
