The recent three days of ups and downs have taught me another lesson—there's no shortage of opportunities in the crypto world; what's lacking is the discipline to hold onto profits.

My account grew from 8,800U to 270,000U, which sounds crazy, but reviewing the entire process, I realize that what truly stuck with me wasn't the hundreds of thousands of digits, but the noise in my mind during the market surge.

First round: #美联储FOMC会议 broke the 1.147 level, and I went long. As it actually started to rise, I took profit at 1.827, earning 20,000. I felt great at the time, thinking I had figured something out.

Second round: the price retraced to 1.648, a familiar structure, so I entered again. This time more aggressively, holding until 2.051 before taking partial profits, pushing the account to 130,000.

It all seemed perfect, but when I was clear-headed, I was thinking about something else:

You can't really play this kind of market twice. Market generosity doesn't mean you can rely on it. After eating meat consecutively, the real test is—can you shut your mouth?

There is indeed a new pattern brewing now, and signals are appearing for coins like $FLOCK , but the questions I ask myself are more important:

Does the new opportunity align with my original strategy? Where is the risk bottom line? Have I thought through the escape route in advance?

Trading, in essence, is waiting for the right moment. The key is that when the wind comes, you must be in the right place—not just because you made money last time, so you rush in this time.

Market cycles repeat, but a account’s life only has one.
