Recently, when a sum of 150,000 U arrived, I was not overjoyed; instead, I fell into a kind of deep thought. Every cent of this money was not obtained by luck; each transaction tests the trader's patience and discipline.

Let's first talk about the operation of BEAT. The market fluctuated wildly between long and short positions. I set up a short position at the previous high, and the moment the upper shadow line clearly appeared, it was the signal. In the end, I closed at 56,000 USDT. It seems simple, but it actually requires a profound understanding of market rhythm.

The movement of ZEC is more interesting. Entered at 328.94 and held it all the way to 406.48 before clearing everything. The consolidation process in between was the most challenging. It was stuck firmly at the key support level, not breaking, not establishing. From this resilience, I saw the signs of a launch. The moment it broke through, I took action, and just like that, 10,000 U ended up in my pocket.

PIPPIN is another textbook case. Entering at 0.5 and exiting at 0.305, the profit of 23,000 U comes from the correct interpretation of the shrinking consolidation. During the significant fluctuations, gaining momentum and decisively following through when breaking through the upper range, the market won't wait for you; opportunities are fleeting.

There is only one logic behind all cases: wait. Wait for the market to reveal its intentions, wait for the signals to be clear enough, and wait until you are ready. Just like hunting, timing is a hundred times more important than brute force. The attack should be fierce, but the premise is that the target is already within range.

Someone asked what the secret is. Ultimately, it's about controlling yourself and understanding the market. Set fixed stop-loss points, using the smallest loss to gain trend confirmation. Don't get carried away when making money, and even more so when losing money; your capital is the only chip to continue surviving in this market.

These gains are not a matter of guesswork; they have been discovered through countless trades. Market opportunities are never lacking; what is lacking is that level of composure.

It sounds like you're saying not to be greedy and to go with the trend. It's easy to say but hard to do. --- 150,000 USDT is indeed a lot, but I have to be honest about sharing this trading log—why weren't you so calm during the drawdown? --- That ZEC trade was really well copied, going from 328 to 406 and eating all the way through. You must have incredible mental strength—I couldn't do it. --- Controlling yourself and understanding the market, in simple terms, means being ruthless with stop-losses. That's the eternal truth. --- BEAT short position of 56,000. This kind of rhythm isn't something retail traders can learn; it takes experiencing many facepalms. --- The most critical point is that capital is the real chip. How many people have been wiped out because they went all-in? It's heartbreaking. --- The theory of shrinking volume consolidation followed by volume breakout is solid, but the market also has many fake breakouts. --- Every time I see this kind of analysis, I think going with the trend is simple. But in reality, by the time the signal appears, most people are already on board. --- Discipline is truly scarce. Just this point causes most people to lose, and all the remaining techniques are just illusions.

150,000 USDT has arrived and I'm still pondering, this mindset is incredible... But to be honest, that wave of short orders from BEAT was indeed fierce, the upper wick was so clear yet I still waited, I don't have that kind of composure. ZEC went from 328 to 406, that consolidation period was really torturous, I couldn't hold on any longer, you could hold at the support level until that moment of breakthrough... Alright, I admit it. Speaking of PIPPIN, entering at 0.5 and exiting at 0.305, surprisingly, there's still a profit of 23,000, I need to think about this logic of low volume consolidation. Wait, control yourself and understand the market... It's easy to say, but how many can really do it? I always feel like the market is playing a psychological game with me. --- Can you share at which position you felt the most conflicted during that wave of ZEC? --- This is the difference between making money and losing money, one is called composure and the other is called holding a losing position. --- I'm currently holding, waiting for this article to save my life. --- It's really a theory of hunting, but I always shake when I pull the trigger, are you that steady?

Really, being able to think so calmly after 150,000 has arrived means this mindset has already won over most people. I was also keeping an eye on that BEAT wave; the upper wick is indeed a signal, but there aren't many who can resist the urge to be greedy. The philosophy of waiting is correct; it's just that most people can't wait and always want to buy the dip and short at the highest price. That ZEC wave from 328 to 406 really had something; the consolidation period was indeed the most frustrating. The core is still to be decisive with the stop loss; only by preserving the principal can there be a next wave.

Waiting is really the hardest, I often lose focus haha --- That's right, stop loss is like buying insurance, many people lose because they are unwilling to accept losses --- Looking at your ZEC wave, I hesitated at that position too, but the long positions didn't enter, it was quite painful --- 150,000 sounds like a lot, but when spread across each trade, the profit margin isn't as exaggerated as I thought --- What I fear the most is when the signal comes and then I hesitate, your self-control is indeed different --- Capital > everything, I agree with this, too many people have lost everything and still want to recover --- I didn't understand that PIPPIN, is the drop from 0.5 to 0.305 shorting? Or what's going on --- The market indeed doesn't lack opportunities, what it lacks are those who really had to give up without making money --- Every time I look at your trading cases, I think of my own losses, it drives me crazy --- The hunting metaphor is good, but it's hard for ordinary people to have that patience to wait for the prey --- Controlling oneself is the hardest, I always think like this, and then start making random moves --- The problem is when will the signal be clear, I always feel it's too late.

Waiting for the market to reveal its intentions is an absolute statement, it sounds like Zen philosophy... But that said, most people just can't wait and insist on acting when there are no signals. --- Having 150,000 U in hand and still being able to think calmly is a good mindset, much better than those who become reckless as soon as they make a profit. --- I sold ZEC during the wave from 328 to 406, and I just want to ask, did you really not waver in between? Or did you do something special? --- I’ve noted the point about shrinking volume consolidation, next time I see this signal, I need to think it through carefully. --- To put it bluntly, it’s still about discipline; most people fail because of this, they know about stop loss but can’t execute it. --- The hunting metaphor is brilliant, sometimes the market deceives you into thinking the prey has arrived... --- Damn, hearing you say that makes my previous losses seem deserved. --- Controlling oneself and understanding the market sounds simple, but it's really too difficult to put into practice. --- The idea that capital is chips is worth pondering repeatedly.

150,000 has arrived and I'm still contemplating, it's really a different level... But to be honest, I also remember that wave of ZEC, it's the kind of market that is most frustrating to wait for, especially when the support level is tested repeatedly, it’s easy to get anxious. Control yourself and understand the market, it sounds simple but really, how much loss do you have to suffer to comprehend it? The PIPPIN from 0.5 to 0.305 this reverse operation, wait, is there no problem with this? Looking at others' trading diaries always feels like the market has such rhythm, but when I start trading, I end up chasing everything aimlessly. To put it bluntly, it’s about composure, this is harder to cultivate than technical skills. I just want to ask if this 150,000 is a leap in earnings or just a normal level.

Hey wait, sounds nice, but can 150,000 be stably replicated? What you said is fine, just afraid of catching a falling knife in the next order. The stop loss is indeed harsh, most people can't do it. Understanding the market is more important than anything else, and the difficulty lies here. The waiting time is the most torturous, I often rush in without waiting. That wave of BEAT was indeed fierce, but luck must play a part too, right? ZEC from 328 to 406, it must have fluctuated violently in between, can you really hold on? You're right, the principal is the bottom line, I agree on this point. Not getting carried away or holding on, these six words are worth ten thousand in tuition. This thing called self-control can be wiped out by just one fall.
