Rules are always more valuable than market movements; execution is always more reliable than talent.

Three months ago, my account was a mess. An 80,000 USD hole almost suffocated me, and doubling a 1,000 USD investment was just a dream. I was constantly torn between persistence and giving up, and those days were truly tough.

Looking back now, these 92 days feel like I’ve become a different person. Starting from earning 3,200 USD on a single trade, I achieved steady gains for six consecutive days, and finally my account balance broke through 300,000 USD. Many people would say I was extremely lucky, but honestly—I believe true reversal never relies on luck; it depends on two things: rules and execution.

**Noise is the biggest enemy**

In the beginning, like other newbies, my mind was filled with noise. What did Trump say again? Will a certain ETF get approved? Did another exchange have issues? Every day I was pulled by these news, and as a result, my account was operated to become thinner and thinner.

Later, I realized a truth: news is like poison, and most people have no resistance to it. I set a strict rule for myself—unless it’s a true black swan event, I ignore all other news. I left the chat groups, turned off all market alerts, and just focused on the price K-line.

The crypto market is inherently volatile. FOMO and FUD are the two demons every investor must face. When overwhelming negative information hits, only by sticking to independent thinking and building your own belief system can you live like a real person.

**Capture structure, abandon illusions**

I no longer try to catch every small wave. Instead, I focus my energy on identifying the main trend. Just like ETH rebounded from 800 USD to 2000 USD—if the trend judgment is correct, the small fluctuations in between are simply not worth mentioning.
