Many people in the crypto circle blame luck for making money, but in reality, most consistently profitable traders are doing one thing — mastering the rhythm.

I'm not a born trading expert either; I’ve stepped into many pits in the beginning. I’ve held heavy positions in coins like $ETH, $FHE, $ZEC, and lost principal. There was a period when my account only had 3000U. Watching the market fluctuate made me very uncomfortable, even to the point of wanting to give up.

But then I realized a key point: there are no "lucky ones" in the crypto world. Those who truly make money have logic, rules, and a clear operating system behind them.

I changed two habits: **Stop predicting the market and avoid impulsive chasing**.

The market is too unpredictable. I used to try to bottom fish and top chase, which was like playing Russian roulette. Later, I switched to trend-following swing trading, only acting when confirmed signals appeared. No more bottom fishing, no guessing tops — just let the K-line speak.

My approach to operations also changed: **Control drawdowns, trade with small positions, and take profits when the time is right**.

Every time I make a profit, I withdraw the principal, and the remaining part continues to compound in the market. Even if the market moves against me later, I won’t lose the principal. The most terrifying thing in crypto is liquidation — a moment of greed can wipe out all previous efforts instantly.

The most crucial point is **discipline in taking profits**. Many people want to earn a little more after making money, but end up getting caught back in. My principle is not to be greedy — take 10% profit and walk away, don’t wait for 20%.

Gradually, I found my rhythm. My account grew from 3000U to 68,000U. No blow-ups, no gambling with my life — just stability and compound growth.

When you see others making big money, it’s not about shortcuts; it’s about having more patience — not being swayed by market ups and downs, and not letting emotions dominate your trades.

Failures usually happen due to these points: over-trading, unstable mindset, chasing trades frequently, setting stop-losses too loosely. In the end, they get "harvested" by the market and blame it for unfairness.

My summary in one sentence: **Don’t let emotions control your account**.

Even if you see the right direction, don’t chase immediately. Wait for the right timing and price to enter, don’t be scared by volatility. The market will test your psychological bottom line again and again. Those who can endure these tests are the ones who truly make money.

Another secret — **compound interest is the most powerful engine for making money**.

Don’t dream of getting rich overnight by hundreds of times; that’s extremely unlikely. Trade steadily, let the snowball roll slowly, and over time, your wealth will grow far beyond your expectations. I know several traders who started with a few thousand U and, using the same method, after a few months, their profits multiplied tenfold.

The core is: **Stay steady**.

You can try it too — don’t pursue overnight riches, just aim for steady wealth growth. This mindset shift often helps your account go further.
