Crypto circles seem simple, but real trading is full of traps. To make steady profits in the long run, luck is not the key—it's a few iron rules. The rules are not complicated; what's difficult is that few people actually follow through.

**Mindset is the first hurdle**

Don’t let emotions hijack your wallet. When the crowd is surging wildly, it's time to cool down; when the entire market is panicking and selling off, that’s actually the opportunity. I myself learned the lesson early on from chasing highs and getting trapped, or selling off with a slight dip—lessons paid with real money.

**Second, never fully leverage your position**

Going all-in is like betting your fate on one throw; if your mind is chaotic, your hands will tremble, and your trades will become distorted. Opportunities are abundant in the market; you need to keep enough cash on hand to act at critical moments, which also allows you to sleep peacefully.

**Unclear direction, resolutely stand still**

If you can’t see clearly, don’t reach out. Ranging sideways at high levels often indicates a false breakout; at low levels, it might still test the bottom again. Don’t guess blindly; wait for clear market signals. Frequent trading during sideways movement not only loses on the trend but also consumes your profits through fees and disturbs your rhythm.

**Focus on K-line and speed of decline**

When a large bearish candle appears on the daily chart, buy gradually in parts; when a large bullish candle appears, consider taking profits moderately. Also, watch the speed of decline—if it slows down, a strong rebound is unlikely; a sudden acceleration in drop often signals a potential strong rebound.

**Building a position is like stacking blocks**

Buy in parts more as the price falls, which helps average down your cost and reduces fear of short-term fluctuations. When prices rise significantly, they tend to stagnate; when they fall sharply, they also tend to consolidate. At this point, don’t heavy load to buy the bottom or completely clear your position. Wait until the direction truly breaks out before adjusting your holdings.

**In the end, it’s a battle with yourself**

These methods look simple to death, but actually executing them requires incredible discipline. I don’t expect to get rich overnight; I prefer to steady and steadily accumulate. The crypto market is always there; those in a hurry are the ones who get slaughtered the fastest.
