Many people ask me how to play in the crypto world. Actually, there is only one core principle: don't mess around blindly. Operating with a consistent strategy is the way to make steady profits.
Have you ever experienced this—buying and the price drops, selling and it rises, just when you close your position, the market takes off? This isn't about luck; it's a problem with your trading rhythm.
I've seen many traders approach crypto with a gambling mentality—high leverage, going all-in—and end up being harshly taught by the market. Conversely, those who make real money are the ones who control their pace. I’ve followed a group of traders whose common trait is sticking to a seemingly "simple" method. As a result, most of them broke even within 30 days, and some even went from $200 to $30,000. There’s no magic operation involved—just strong discipline.
The key points are simply these:
**Control the trading frequency** — 2 to 3 trades per week are enough; the higher the frequency, the greater the risk. Prepare your positions in advance, and wait for the market to start moving before taking action.
**Strictly manage drawdowns** — limit single-loss to within 7%. Even if you lose several times in a row, you won’t blow up your account.
**Position rolling mindset** — instead of going all-in at once, operate in batches, allowing compound interest to work for you.
In short, whether you can predict the market correctly is up to fate, but the rhythm of making money can be controlled. Following this approach, most of the money lost can likely be recovered. The problem isn’t that you’re not smart enough; it’s that no one has told you how to trade steadily and confidently.

Really, trading 2-3 times a week sounds simple, but few people stick with it.

That's right, it's a matter of discipline. I used to get beaten pretty badly because I was frequently making reckless moves.

You're right, but executing it is really damn difficult.

2-3 times a week is enough. I used to be a daily trading fanatic and lost every day.

You're absolutely right, patience is key. Frequent trading is truly a suicidal move.
Three times a week is enough; don't watch the market every day and get all nervous.
Those who go all-in have already jumped in; few have come out alive.
The 7% stop-loss line is crucial. Even if you make ten wrong moves, you won't die, but you're afraid of losing everything in one shot.
I used to have that gambler's mentality, but I'm gradually adjusting, and it feels much better.
Really, rhythm is a hundred times more important than choosing coins, that hits home.

Basically, you need to have discipline and not go all-in like a gambling addict, really.
