To survive in the crypto market for a long time, it has never relied on luck.

Newbies frequently get liquidated, while experienced traders can make stable profits. The bottom line is one word - discipline. I have been in this industry for eight years, and my survival until today is not due to my strong predictive ability, but rather because I have a methodology that allows me to "control myself in critical moments."

Summarized years of blood and tears into eight points, each derived from stepping into pitfalls.

**Do not ignore the market and place orders randomly**

Many people focus on the daily chart for short-term trading, but the daily chart only provides direction; the real entry points are at the 30-minute level. You will find that the seemingly weak bearish candle structure looks super beautiful on the 30-minute chart, and the next day often opens high with a big bullish candle. Catching it two or three times a year has a much higher win rate than frequent trading.

**If the trend is unclear, don't touch it**

In a market where the direction is unclear and the K-line structure is chaotic, even if you make money, it's mostly due to luck. Following the trend is the lowest-cost way to trade; don't go against the market.

**Hotspot failure means to wait and see**

The core of short-term trading is the flow of funds; without hot spots to support it, the subject is just doing useless work. Wait for the right opportunity to act.

**Trade as planned, don't be impulsive**

Impulsive trading is the root of losses. Remember this saying: "Trade your plan, not plan your trade."

**Don't blindly follow trends or advice**

Others' analyses are just references; your independent judgment is the steering wheel that determines the direction of your position. Make your own judgments.

**First determine the direction, then select specific targets**

Experts operate this way – when the overall direction is correct, even ordinary coins can make a profit; when the direction is wrong, even leading coins will be hit back. Grasping this logic is crucial.

**Enter during the uptrend, don't rush to bottom fish**

Bottom fishing is about finding education. Prices always move in the direction of least resistance, and operating with currencies on the rise is the safest, with the least risk.

**After big gains and losses, you must take a break**

I have been executing this for eight years, with an accuracy rate of over 90%. The success rate of emotion-driven operations is close to zero. After a big win or loss, taking a day off to reassess will make your thinking much clearer.

The core logic is very simple: system + discipline + strict execution = stable profit.

Keep these eight points in mind, and you will find that many losses can actually be avoided. Those who survive and continue to make money in the market do so not because they are bold, but because they are rational enough.
