When I first entered the market, I was just like most people -
watching K-lines, learning strategies, chasing hotspots, buying high and selling low, and the result was losses, losses, and more losses.
Until later, I stopped 'chasing the market' and started 'following the rhythm', truly stepping into a positive cycle of profit.
Starting with a capital of 2000U, I took one year to reach over 200K, relying not on any 'super skill', but on this rhythm:
📌 Step 1: Give up fantasies, establish a 'cycle mindset'.
You must understand: the market has a rhythm; there aren't opportunities every day.
Market trends in the crypto circle usually follow:
Sideways → Volume increases → Main rise → Sell-off → Retracement → Sideways again
If you stare at the charts every day looking for entry points, in the end, you'll just be worn down.
My method is:
Only trade when trends start, not during consolidation.
That is to say, when the market is stagnant, stay in cash; once there is a breakout, dare to go in heavy.
📍 For example:
Last year, BTC oscillated around 29,000 for over 40 days. It wasn't until it broke through 31,000 after two days of strong volume that I heavily entered the market, and then it surged to 37,000.
📌 Step 2: Develop the habit of 'only trading certain opportunities'.
You make money not by 'trading every day', but by getting one market trend right and then resting.
My experience is:
A major market trend appears at most 1 to 2 times each quarter.
So what you need to do is not review dozens of coins every day, but:
Look at only 5 coins every day: BTC, ETH, SOL, OP, LINK.
Wait for the signals from technical analysis, sentiment, and fundamentals to overlap before taking action.
For example: I would consider entering when ETH breaks the middle band of the Bollinger Bands + net capital inflow + favorable expectations; otherwise, I would stay in cash.
📌 Step 3: Use discipline to protect your profits.
I have countless times turned profits into losses just because I 'wanted to earn more'.
Later, I established an ironclad system:
Take half of each profit over 20%.
Every time profits exceed 1000U, withdraw 30% to the bank card.
Withdraw funds every Friday, even if it's just a profit of 200U, I need to ensure the withdrawal action.
This habit has made my account smaller and my wallet thicker.
If you want to make big money, you first have to 'take profits out of the market' instead of letting it shrink in volatility.
📌 Step 4: Treat trading like a job, with rhythm and rules.
If you want to make money in the long term, you must find trading rhythm from the rhythm of life.
My current trading process is almost like a timetable:
In the morning, I read the news without trading.
In the afternoon, I observe the market without entering.
I only consider placing orders after 9 PM, focusing on the changes in the European and American markets.
I stop looking at the market after 23:30, forcing myself to leave and ensure sleep.
Why? Because staying up late to watch the market will only amplify emotional fluctuations, not increase your win rate.
📌 Step 5: The market can give you everything, and it can take everything back.
In the crypto circle, you will encounter many opportunities to 'double your money', but if you earn and don't take profits, doubling is just an illusion.
The key to turning 2000U into 200K was that I repeatedly took profits along the way, not one big 'winning streak'.
The fundamental logic of trading coins is only four words: control the rhythm.
🔚 Final thoughts
From 2000U to 200K, I didn't rely on insider information, chasing contracts, or luck from a meme explosion.
I only do one thing:
When others are impatient, I wait; when opportunities arise, I dare; when making profits, I run.
When the rhythm is right, everything flows smoothly.
The rhythm is off; no matter how good your skills or how timely your information, it's just making clothes for others.
If you understand this logic, try setting a goal for yourself:
Starting today, trade with a rhythm like going to work, treating yourself like a professional player.
Don't rush, staying steady is the most powerful way to profit.
