After wandering in the crypto world for a long time, you'll realize: the true factor that separates people is not who understands more indicators or has better analysis tools, but who can truly settle down and "wait."


Trading is never a game of high-frequency operations.
In a mature trading cycle, most of the time should be spent on holding cash, observing, and exercising restraint. The actual time needed to act is surprisingly short.
If we break down the proportions: 70% of the time is spent waiting for opportunities, 20% on precise execution, and 10% on market analysis—that's enough.
Many people lose money not because they don't understand the market, but because they can't endure the "blank period"—they get anxious when the market is stagnant, their accounts show no volatility, and they become itchy to trade. As a result, they frequently enter and exit, turning serious "trading" into a tool for venting emotions.
This is essentially not trading, but gambling.
A true trader is more like a lurking hunter:
They understand the market "terrain" in advance, predicting where opportunities might appear;
They don't act blindly just because the market is quiet;
They can endure days or even weeks of silence, waiting for the moment with the highest probability.
Once the target appears, they must act decisively—without hesitation, without last-minute adjustments, and without making excuses to delay.
This is also why major market moves tend to reward only a few people: not because they are smarter, but because they choose not to move when others are restless;
When others rush in emotionally, they are already waiting at key positions.
The market doesn't give money every day, but as long as you maintain patience and wait for a truly structural opportunity, one correct move can often reverse the account curve or even change the phase of the situation.
The highest realm of trading has never been about "more"—not more operations or analysis, but "accuracy"; not "speed"—not quick entries or quick turnover, but "waiting."
A correct method combined with consistent execution is far better than blindly busying oneself!
In the past, I drifted aimlessly in the waves of the crypto world; now, I have a steady ship at the helm.
The ship has been waiting—do you want to get on board?
