Last week, I talked with a seasoned trader born in the 95s. Listening to his story was quite touching.



With 30,000 yuan in capital, he spent 7 years turning it into over 80 million. The numbers are staggering, but what impressed me most wasn't the return multiple, but the extreme simplicity of his entire trading logic—he hardly chases hot trends or relies on news to bottom fish.

During casual chat, he unintentionally revealed a set of systems, which I summarized into 5 key points. These things sound simple when explained, but actually doing them is much harder.

**Focus**
Only use a mature trading model, avoid piling on indicators, and don’t frequently change methods. He does three things every day: review, find mistakes, and optimize execution. It sounds boring, but repeatedly following this process over the long term is much more valuable than a sudden flash of brilliance. That’s why he can maintain stable profits while others fluctuate.

**Avoid chasing hot trends**
He almost never touches MEME coins or exotic tokens. Only participate when the fundamentals and technical structures are clear. The core idea is: rely on certainty to compound, and don’t hope to win big with a single gamble. This mindset helped him preserve capital in a bear market and earn reasonable returns in a bull market.

**Position restraint**
In the era of small funds, he only trades 1-2 targets. When his capital grows, his core holdings don’t exceed 3. It’s not about full position betting on a direction, but about rolling in and out to lower costs. This tactic particularly restrains greed.

**Big trend + small execution**
He looks at trends and capital flow to judge the overall direction, but enters and exits with short cycles. By the time news breaks, the market has often already moved halfway. That’s why he doesn’t rely on news to make a living.

**Humble mindset**
He doesn’t believe in any school of thought blindly, treats losses as tuition, and doesn’t get inflated after profits. This mindset has been cultivated for years and is now his underlying logic.

His advice for small-cap traders boils down to three words: **Fast**—exit when the target is reached; **Accurate**—only take high-probability opportunities; **Bold**—when a real opportunity comes, dare to hold heavy positions.

Many people lose money, not because they don’t try, but because they keep using the wrong methods—chasing hot topics, relying on news, full-position betting on directions. These are the easiest pitfalls in the crypto market.

Survivors in trading rely never on luck, but on a comprehensive anti-human system execution capability.

That's true, but how many people can actually do it? I've seen too many people who talk about discipline every day, but then go all-in with full positions right after.

That's right, most people can't achieve discipline, and I've fallen into that trap myself.

Honestly, I've heard this logic a hundred times before, but the key is still to endure... I do have two people around me who really make money, and they both have this rigid and infuriating review habit.

In simple terms, it means living long enough, maintaining a stable mindset, and not self-sabotaging. Most people die because of greed and impatience for quick success.

Basically, it's still about controlling your hand and not being greedy. Look at that guy who made 8,000 times in 7 years; the key is that he never once said, "I've invested everything," that's the real skill.

That's right, but you need to have your own approach and obsess over the details. I used to be easily influenced by news and rumors, but I later realized that it's just a trap to harvest retail investors.

To be honest, those who bet fully on a single direction are all dead; only those with this logic are still alive.
