With over ten years of experience in the industry and eight years of full-time trading, I am often asked one question: "What exactly makes trading difficult?" Is it the technology? Market analysis? Neither. The real challenge lies in a complete system—the formulation of rules, the cultivation of mindset, and the fight against human weaknesses. Today, I want to share some of my observations in the most straightforward way.

**Why does "consistent profitability" sound perfect but is actually full of traps?**

Beginners entering the market often rely on luck to make quick money, but ultimately they cannot escape the fate of being wiped out. The fundamental reason is simple: the market is designed to conquer those who refuse to accept it. The cryptocurrency market is especially ruthless—24-hour trading, sharp price swings, leverage everywhere, and severe information asymmetry. These characteristics amplify human instincts to the extreme: greed leads to blindly chasing highs, fear causes frantic escapes.

Take a real example. In early October 2025, during a wave of liquidations, $19 billion worth of positions were forcibly closed within just a few hours. Why did this happen? Because too many people were using 100x leverage. When the market slightly moved against them, their accounts were wiped out instantly. Leverage itself is a professional tool, but for ordinary traders, it’s as dangerous as playing with fire. That’s why some industry insiders rate leveraged trading as a "five-star difficulty" operation—you need to master a whole set of skills like bottom-fishing, top-selling, and position management, demanding an incredibly high level of psychological resilience.

**What is my approach?**

Consistent profitability has never been about "predicting the market correctly," but about establishing a set of definite rules in a market full of uncertainties. For example, I set strict rules for myself: no single trade should lose more than 2% of the total capital, and this applies even to the best opportunities; never hold a position overnight, and always cut losses regardless of how unfair it feels; emotional trading is forbidden. It’s these seemingly simple disciplines that have allowed me to survive until today.
