#大户持仓动态 To survive long in the crypto world, the biggest test is not your ability to pick coins, but whether you can control that hand of yours. Looking at accounts of top traders, they don’t succeed by frequent trading, but by knowing when to give up.
Only key positions are worth taking a full position. Placing orders outside clear trend support or resistance levels, or acting impulsively in the middle of a trend, will only get you shaken out—this is common sense, but most people can't change it.
When a trend shows a breach, that’s the real opportunity. People shout about reversals every day, but without actual breakout confirmation, acting on it is just gambling. Wait until the market moves on its own, then follow in—this is professionalism.
Your trading system is your only command center. When there’s no signal, just stay idle. How many rush in just because of a “feeling” or “almost”? When the system doesn’t give a signal, all you can do is wait.
Not clear about where to place your stop-loss? Then don’t open the trade at all. If before entering a position you’re fuzzy about where to set the stop-loss, it means you haven’t thought through this trade at all.
The last line of defense: if the stop-loss exceeds your expected profit margin, give up immediately. When the risk-reward ratio is unbalanced, even the most tempting opportunity should be a no.
$SOL, $H, $ZEC and similar assets, no matter how hot the market is, you must follow these five iron rules. Ultimately, it all comes down to three words—execution.

It's easy to say to restrain oneself, but hard to do. The ones who truly make money are those who endure boredom. I admit that I am still at this stage, repeatedly getting hit.

This point about controlling your hands is really spot on. I lost a lot because I was messing around in the middle position. Now that I strictly follow the system signals, I feel like I'm surviving a bit longer.

Exactly, the hardest part is always the three words: execution. Looking at my own trading records, most of the losing trades happen because I get impatient and act before the signal appears...

That's right, I just can't control my hands. Seeing the market move impulsively, I want to go all in.

That's right, but most people can't do it. I often get itchy myself, see others making money and want to follow, but end up getting wrecked. Now I've learned to stay in cash and wait, and my returns are much more stable.

honestly... the hand thing hits different after you've been liquidated once. seen too many people yolo mid-range just because "feels right" and then wonder why they're eating ramen. the whole "wait for confirmation" part? yeah that's the part everyone skips and then complains markets are rigged lol. discipline really is the only edge you got, no cap.

honestly the discipline angle hits different... most traders i see just yolo on "feels right" energy instead of actually waiting for their system to confirm. the whole risk/reward ratio thing? yeah that's where people really lose it—they chase yield but ignore the bleed potential. execution really is the only moat that matters here.

That's right, it's really a matter of execution. I used to operate frequently as well, and only after losing quite a bit did I realize — doing nothing often makes more money than reckless actions.

That's true, but how many people can actually do it? I once got liquidated because I "felt it was about the same," and now I have to confirm the stop-loss level three times before I dare to place an order.
