#美联储联邦公开市场委员会决议 What does making money really rely on?



The most common misconception among beginners entering the crypto world is this—always thinking you can crush the market with talent or overtake others through complex trading models. And what’s the result? Most people get stuck because they rely on cleverness.

In fact, those traders who seem the "dumbest" often have the most stable accounts. They don’t have fancy tricks; they stay disciplined, focus on steady rhythm, and gradually increase their capital. This kind of stability isn’t achieved through a single indicator; it’s rooted in respect for the market and self-discipline.

I've summarized some proven trading principles based on years of practical experience, and I’d like to share them—

**When a strong coin keeps falling from a high level, don’t rush.** Many see a pullback and want to buy the dip, but that’s often the easiest moment to get slapped. Instead of acting hastily, wait until the trend has truly run its course. Patience here is your moat.

**Two days of consecutive rise? Regardless of the underlying logic, cut your position in half.** Lock half of the profits into your pocket, and leave the rest with room for error. Volatility is meant to filter traders, not wipe them out.

**The second day after a big surge is the most dangerous.** Expect a pause after a sharp move—that’s market temperament. Instead of chasing the high, wait for the next signal. Positioning comes from patience, not from grabbing.

**Coins that just finished a big rally should be avoided directly.** These coins cool off the fastest, and those who jump in often become the last in line.

**Horizontal consolidation is the most mentally taxing situation.** Three days of sideways movement can be observed, but if it drags beyond six days without direction, it’s time to switch. Don’t get trapped in a price range and be worn down by time.

**If your buy-in the next day still hasn’t broken even, get out.** There’s no need to haggle at this point; not fighting means longer survival.

**For coins that rise significantly in two days, wait for a pullback.** Around the fifth day is often the golden window for taking profits. It’s not some complex cycle theory, just a common trader behavior pattern.

**Volume and price never lie.** Low volume at a low point is a real signal, but if volume surges at a high point and the price doesn’t go up? That’s a risk signal—be cautious.

**Focus on trends, don’t be deceived by short-term noise.** Look at 3-day fluctuations for short-term, 30 days for medium-term, 80 days for the main upward phase, and 120 days to confirm the overall direction. When these timeframes align, the direction becomes clear.

**Small funds can also succeed; the key is stability, not gambling.** Never borrow money, never go all-in, and never risk living expenses—these are the bottom lines. Crypto is fundamentally a long-term game; a single day’s surge won’t change your life.

What is the mindset of a true winner? It’s making your account grow a little each month. It may seem slow, but if you harness the power of compound interest well, after two or three years, you’ll be at a different level.

These methods sound simple, but applying them tests human nature. The more you use the "dumb" approach over time, the more you realize—stability is the strongest strength.

Sense of direction, rhythm, and understanding within your circle are far more important than fleeting luck. If you want to go further, don’t just stumble around blindly alone.

That's right, I am the one who went broke because of "smart" strategies haha My comment: Honestly, this set truly can keep you alive Waiting for my retracement to re-enter, not going to chase after the rally Six days of sideways movement and then I just sell out, no need to overthink You're so right, I got trapped by complex trading models Lock in half the profit, only then can I sleep well Stability is indeed the strongest, I previously chased a rally and ended up with zero Using the 120-day framework, everything suddenly became clear I really respect the rule of not borrowing money; so many people lost everything because of leverage Compound interest over two years takes it to another level, this hits right in my heart

Well, damn, I really like this kind of straightforwardness. Wait, can’t you just buy the dip during a continuous decline from a high level? I lost money doing exactly that last year. I need to try half-position reduction; can’t just go all-in every time. If it’s sideways for more than six days, I’ll get out—I’ll remember that. Two or three years of compound interest... sounds like you gotta live a long time. Winning is the real win—that’s no lie.

It's not wrong to say that, but executing it is extremely difficult. --- I've known about the halving strategy for a long time, but I just can't bring myself to do it. --- Six days of sideways trading, and I just lost my mind. --- Really, I've heard this theory a hundred times, but I only understand it after losing money. --- The key is discipline. I always break it. --- Two years, three years... how many people can stick with it until then? --- Volume and price can't deceive people; it's all about people's hearts. --- The most frightening thing is this kind of correct nonsense. --- I'm the kind of smart person, but my account is bleeding red. --- The stupid method is really stupid, but it can indeed keep you alive.

It sounds nice, but I think most people simply can't do it. Once their mindset collapses, they forget everything.

That said, the main point is that stability is the key to success. When you can't help but want to buy the dip, it's time to walk away. Compound interest is truly unbeatable in the end. This strategy is simple to explain—it's just a matter of whether you can endure it. Why do most people still tend to buy high? It's all about mindset. Those who have experienced a major downturn should understand—patience is indeed the moat. Following this pace, at most you'll earn more slowly, but a major crash is unlikely. Compared to flashy indicators, volume and price truly are more honest. If two years ago you had followed this approach, you wouldn't need to be discussing this now.

You're absolutely right, the ones who don't listen to advice are the most numerous. Stability is the king, don't think about getting rich overnight. I've been using this method for two months, and it's much more comfortable than before with random operations. Those who chase gains every day will be proven wrong sooner or later. Compound interest is truly amazing; I'm just afraid I can't stick with it.

That's right, stability is the key to success. Damn, it hits hard. I used to be the kind of fool who thought I could rely on clever tricks to overtake others. Staying in a sideways market for more than six days without moving is really exhausting. It sounds simple, but actually doing it is the hard part—it's a test of human nature. Doubling your investment through compound interest in two years is not a big deal; the key is not to mess up. I feel like I chased too many after a single-day surge, and each time I got slapped the next day. I never thought about reducing my position size before; I'll try that next time. The most crucial thing is not to borrow money—many people get stuck right there. Volume and price won't deceive you; I really get this now. After all this time, I still haven't fully understood it; it seems I need to update my perspective.
