Hitting the right rhythm is far more crucial than guessing the rise or fall correctly.

Last year, a friend came to me with an account holding 15,000 U—tinkering for half a year and still stuck in the same place. His expression was full of helplessness; he had the right market direction and picked decent coins, yet he just couldn't make money.

Whenever the market jumped 5 points, he would panic, slip away quickly, only to look back and see the main upward wave just starting; he clearly saw the trend but was always paralyzed by fear before the launch. After several times, his hands trembled when placing orders. I asked him straightforwardly: "When you enter this market, are you trying to gamble on luck or earn steadily?"

He pondered for a moment: "I want to be more stable, do something solid."

My answer is just one sentence: hitting the right rhythm is a hundred times more important than guessing the correct direction. We are not gamblers; we don't expect sky-high profits overnight. Instead, we need a solid position logic—confirm the trend before taking action, open positions with no more than 20% of total capital, only add when there's floating profit, keep the stop-loss in mind, and let profits run freely.

In the first two weeks, I focused intensely on the ETH ecosystem. Every move was aimed at "self-control." Never open a position exceeding one-fifth of total capital, take profits gradually when gains appear, and ensure the principal is always safe in hand.

This process seemed slow, but the account steadily grew to 30,000 U. The best part was that his previous anxiety disappeared. Surviving is the first lesson in trading.
