Stable profit does not mean making money every day or every month; as long as you are overall profitable after a year, or average out to not losing money each month, that counts as stability. The rest is about persistently using the correct methods to repeat operations.

2. The truth that overturns common sense

The key to stable profits is not to trade more, but to trade less! You need to be like a sniper, **better to miss 3 opportunities than to make 1 wrong trade**.

Four essential stages

Stage One: First learn to "cut losses" (3-6 months)

What you need to do:

- Take 1000u (convert it to money you won't mind losing)

- Use only 10-20u to practice each time (equivalent to the price of a milk tea)

- Focus on training two actions:

→ Immediately cut losses if you buy wrong (for example, sell if down 5%)

→ Don't regret selling early (for example, if you earn 15%, just run; don’t cry if it later rises to 30%)

What you will experience:

- There’s a high probability of losing up to 500u (everyone will experience this)

- Unable to sleep at night while watching losing trades (normal phenomenon)

- Suddenly one day I discovered: **strictly cutting losses made my account last longer**.

> 📌 In simple terms: this stage is like taking a driving test; you have to pay tuition before you can hit the road.

Stage Two: Find the patterns for making money (6-12 months)

What you need to do:

- Use the remaining money to test fixed strategies, such as:

→ Only trade coins that are steadily rising or falling

→ Look at the 15-minute chart to determine the direction, find buying points during the 5-minute pullback rebound

→ Cut losses at 5%, run at 15% profit (profit-loss ratio of 3 times)

- Each time still buy only 10-20u (fixed 5x or 10x leverage)

Qualification criteria:

- No major losses for three consecutive months (maximum loss of 20% each month)

- 3 small profits out of 10 trades (the other 7 small losses)

Common problems:

- Always want to modify strategies (change methods when seeing others make money)

- Discontent with small profits, unwilling to accept losses (this is a sign of progress)

> 📌 In simple terms: it’s like learning to cook; strictly follow the recipe and don’t add your own ingredients randomly.

Stage Three: Cut off losing operations (around 1 year)

What you need to solve:

- Impulsively buying (wanting to chase when seeing it rise)

- Listen to news to buy coins (someone in the group says it's going to skyrocket)

- Fear of missing out on market opportunities (not buying for fear of it going up, buying and then it drops)

Specific operations:

1. Print out records of each trade

2. Use a red pen to circle three types of trades you shouldn't make:

→ Coins bought in the middle of the night when unable to sleep

→ Buy coins based on trending short videos

→ Randomly buy coins out of fear of missing out

3. Reduce trading frequency by 70% (for example, from trading 10 times a day to only 3 times)

Personal experience:

In the second half of last year, I deleted 18 trading signal groups, and as a result, my earnings for that month actually increased by 80%

Stage Four: Wait for big opportunities to seize major trends (after 2 years)

Ultimate mindset:

- One profitable trade can make up for 10, 20, 30, or even more losses (for example, losing 10 times at 5% = 50%, earning 1 time at 50% can break even)

- 80% of the time spent drinking tea and watching the show (this is the daily routine of experts)

My practical configuration:

- Trade only 30-50 times a month (averaging 1-2 times a day)

- Stop-loss is 5%-10%, with a minimum profit-loss ratio of 10 times, 20 times, or 30 times

- Maximum daily loss of 3% (with 100,000 capital, the maximum loss per day is 3,000; of course, during this stage, I still often made mistakes, leading to excessive losses, which is something I still need to work on)

Real case:

In March of this year, I made fewer than 30 trades in total, with a stop-loss amount of about 50,000u, but I successfully captured 4 market movements, with profit-loss ratios mostly around 15 times, 20 times, or 30 times, earning nearly 170,000u in profit. After deducting stop-losses and fees, there was about 120,000u in profit.

In April, I also started posting in the square, later I did live broadcasts, led trades, and added WeChat friends. Before April 20, I had made about 30 trades, with a profit of 310,000u, and a stop-loss of about 50,000u, totaling a profit of 260,000u. Unfortunately, starting from April 21, my nightmare began. From the 21st to the 30th, in ten days, I opened 67 trades, with a total stop-loss exceeding 140,000u and no take-profit. This high-frequency trading caused my trading to deform, leading to massive losses and affecting my trading mindset. Therefore, frequent trading is taboo; if one cannot overcome this, this path cannot be long-term.

Blood and tears advice for beginners

1. Do not add capital in the first year (practicing with 1000u is just as effective as with 100,000u)

2. Write a trading journal every day (focus on recording: Why buy? Why sell?)

3. Uninstall various indicator software (trade strictly according to your own trading logic)

Remember this phrase: **"Slow is fast, less is more"** — Only those who can endure loneliness can eat meat.
