After teaching students for five years, what I observe most is not the candlestick charts, but their anxious emotions.

"Teacher, the market is moving, should we chase it?"

"Sitting on cash for half a day, missed out on a billion?"

I reply to them: Don't rush, first learn to 'wait'.

Many people treat trading like a 100-meter sprint; the tighter they watch the market and the faster they place orders, the fatter their wallets become.

Only when they rush into the market do they understand: there is no finish line, only an infinite number of starting pistols.

When the gun fires once, they run once—running and running, and their capital is gone.

The first thing I do with students is not draw lines, but turn off the machine.

90% of the market's fluctuations are noise; the longer you watch, the easier it is to mistake the noise for signals.

The dividing line between experts and amateurs lies in who can resist the urge to act.

I give each person a card with two words: conditions.

If the conditions aren't met, no trades; when the conditions are met, strike hard.

Just like a hunter won't shoot at the rustling leaves; he waits for the prey to step into range, with the wind direction just right and good lighting.

Trading also waits for all four signals to turn green: signal, cycle, risk-reward ratio, position.

During the rest of the time, drinking tea, working out, or watching videos is fine, just don’t place orders.

Some students have done statistics:

In the first month, 8 trades a day, win rate 38%, ended the month with a loss of 27%.

In the second month, only waited for "three moving averages to converge + sudden increase in volume", only 3 trades for the whole month, all wins, profit of 41%.

The data is cold, but it speaks louder than words: those who can wait, the market rewards; those who can't wait, the market punishes.

'Waiting' is not dawdling, it's silent preparation with a plan.

Every night at ten, I review the day, writing down three scenarios for the next day: how to handle a breakout, how to handle a false breakout, how to handle no market movement.

After writing, I turn off the machine and go to sleep, executing the next day like an alarm clock.

This checklist is the hunter's map: if the prey doesn't show up, don’t move; if the prey appears, don’t hesitate.

Afraid of missing out? I counter: the market has opportunities every day; does your capital have opportunities every day?

Preserving capital is necessary for the next trigger pull; rushing to make the first shot often means there's not even a chance for the second shot.

So, I often say: trading is not a high-frequency art, but a low-frequency discipline; it’s not a battle of brains, but a cultivation of heart and mind.

Spend 80% of your time waiting and 20% of your time executing; profit is just a byproduct of understanding how to 'wait'.

Remember: the cryptocurrency world is not short of opportunities, it's short of those who wait for opportunities.

First learn to 'wait', then talk about profits. @小花生说币
