In this kind of partial bull market, to achieve stable profits, you need to follow a few ironclad rules.

First, identify the main trend, focus your layout, and concentrate your firepower. Don't try to do everything; choose a clear track and stick to it. Second, stay away from obscure coins; don't sit on the sidelines waiting for a rebound—it's a waste of time. Third, after the main trend starts, don't be afraid to chase the high; such assets often continue to hit new highs. Conversely, obscure assets tend to trade sideways for a long time at the bottom, so don't try to bottom fish.

When it's time to rest, you must rest and wait for the next clear main trend opportunity. Never diversify your investments; in this kind of market, concentration is the key to return. Another critical point—stay away from outdated tracks and obsolete project logic; these have already run their course. Instead, get close to newly launched projects, embrace the latest technological iterations and market innovations.

Incorporate these 8 ironclad rules into your trading system, and your win rate in small-cycle markets will significantly improve.

It's not wrong to say that, but honestly, most people die trying to diversify, always looking to buy the dip. Chasing highs is indeed disgusting, but the ones really making money are the ones chasing, I have to admit. I've long given up on obscure coins; it's just a waste of time and mindset. The concentration aspect hits hard. I was too greedy before, and in the end, I didn't get anything. New projects are too tempting, but you need to distinguish which are truly innovative and which are just hype. To be honest, patience is still key. You don't need to be fully invested at all times. This set of theories sounds easy, but execution is hell.

Chasing high has always been something I believe in, but I tend to get soft when it comes to execution... --- Focusing firepower is definitely the right approach; diversification just spreads out the gains. I've fallen into this trap before. --- Waiting for unpopular coins to rebound is just self-deception; it's faster to just stick to the main line. --- The new track is indeed attractive, but how to judge whether it's not the next "outdated project"—that's the real challenge. --- Don't tell me to not want to have everything; that hits home. I bought various coins before, but ended up not making any profit. --- You really need the courage to chase when the main line starts, but I just can't do it. How long does psychological preparation take? --- I agree that rest is also a form of cultivation, but what if I miss out during rest and still feel anxious? --- The formula of concentration = return rate is simple, but the market tells me that concentration also equals explosion rate. --- I understand not to touch old tracks; it's just that with new projects being a mixed bag, who can tell them apart clearly?

It's another concentration theory... Sounds reasonable, but from a game theory perspective, after the main trend starts, more people chase the high, isn't it just a game of last baton passing? Obscure tokens are indeed prone to sideways movement, but to say it so absolutely? I think the key is on-chain data support—whether there are real interaction costs is the core. Wait, the article mentions 8 iron laws, but when I count, there are only 3? The logic itself isn't tight at all.

That's right, focusing all your firepower is really crucial. Retail investors are most likely to get wiped out because they want everything at once, and then they lose everything. Chasing highs sounds aggressive, but it's actually much safer than copying cold coins, as the main trend carries its own momentum. Wait, can those sideways-moving cold coins really be copied? It feels like there's always a chance for a turnaround. I agree with the logic of concentration, but new projects also carry significant risks. How to grasp it? If you could truly stick to one track and go all-in, you'd be rich already. The key is to survive until that main trend really takes off. There are quite a few people who don't chase highs; it all depends on who can hold on. Accepting new things too quickly can make you vulnerable to being cut, so I prefer to be cautious. This set of theories sounds smooth, but actual operation is another matter altogether.

ngl, the "focus fire on one narrative" bit hits different when you actually look at validator attrition rates across chains rn. concentration works until network resilience decides otherwise tbh

Basically, it's about focusing your firepower and not being greedy. I was just too scattered, stepping on too many landmines, but now I've changed and only focus on the main trend. Chasing highs? I'm used to it. The real mistake is not daring to chase when the trend is up. I will never touch obscure coins again; I've had enough of sitting on the cold bench for too long. Waiting for opportunities, I agree with that. It's much better than reckless trading.

Focus all efforts on the main storyline and avoid obscure coins; this tactic has been overused for a long time. Don't fear chasing highs; sideways trading is a trap, no doubt about it. It's truly about turning around with new tracks; old projects should indeed be cleared out. Waiting for opportunities is much more important than reckless trading.
