Looking at the account multiply so many times, many people only see the numbers. But I know what’s behind it—countless nights of waiting, moments of stepping into traps, and every time tightening my nerves to stick to discipline.



Let me share a few of the most memorable trades.

In the $BEAT wave, the price struggled after reaching the previous high, with longer upper shadows, and buying momentum clearly waned. I didn’t try to predict what would happen next; the market had already sent the signal—short. As a result, I made 56,000 USDT. It’s not luck; it’s because I waited for the moment the signal appeared.

$ZEC’s sideways consolidation around 328.94 took a long time, feeling like it was gathering strength. It couldn’t go down, nor could it go up. But I’ve seen this kind of bottoming process many times, usually brewing for a breakout. Once volume increased upward, I entered immediately. From 328.94 to 406.48, in eight hours, I earned 10,000 USDT. Some say this is gambling luck, but I say it’s waiting for the right timing.

$PIPPIN is even more interesting. It consolidated with low volume at the 0.5 level for a long time, with dry trading volume, as if it was truly hibernating. But this kind of volume contraction often signals an upcoming move. When the upper boundary was broken and volume expanded simultaneously, I decided to go all-in. This trade yielded 23,000 USDT.

If I had to sum up a trading philosophy, it’s just three words: wait, follow,守.

Waiting, because most of the time the market is noise. Opportunities to act are actually not that many. Those unwilling to wait will ultimately be forced to take over others’ orders.

Follow, meaning only follow clear trend breakouts. Don’t try to guess tops and bottoms, don’t fantasize about predicting the market. The market will tell you what to do, provided you learn to read the signals.

守, refers to execution discipline. Every trade must have a stop-loss point. Take profits in stages, don’t wait to eat everything at once. Most importantly, don’t let emotions mess with your account.

There’s a saying I strongly believe in: Money isn’t guessed out; it’s the market’s reward for those who follow the rules. Look around at people constantly being led by volatility—chasing highs today, selling lows tomorrow—they’re still replacing system with impulse. When you realize you need to replace impulse with a system, that’s the real turning point.

Waiting for the right time is really impressive; it's easy to say but how tough is it to actually execute?

To be honest, I've heard this theory many times, but very few people can truly practice discipline. Wait, follow, and守 (maintain), they sound simple to talk about, but executing them is a whole different story.

That's exactly right, that's the point. I used to be the kind of fool who chased gains and sold on dips, but I later realized that discipline is worth more than anything. --- I also saw that wave of $BEAT, waiting really is crucial. Many people die because they can't wait for these two seconds. --- I strongly agree with the signal of volume breakout; it's more accurate than any technical indicator. I've seen too many people ignore these details. --- The worst thing is letting emotions drive your account; one impulsive move and it's all gone. That hits too close to home. --- Waiting for the right timing can really earn 8,000 in 8 hours; I respect this logic. It really tests your mindset. --- Listening to you, I feel like I've wasted the past two years with pointless trading. Let the system replace impulsiveness, remember that. --- This view that noise is prevalent is very clear-headed; most people are just killing time amidst the noise. --- The most critical moment is before heavy positioning; once the signal is confirmed, you should go all in. PIPPIN demonstrated this very clearly. --- Too many people can't stick to stop-loss; they get soft when they see floating losses. You execute more ruthlessly than we do. --- The ones who truly make money are never guesswork; they wait for the market to give the answer. This realization is valuable.

Waiting for the right time is indeed tough, but most people still can't resist the itch. To put it simply, it's about discipline; very few can stick to it. I saw that BEAT move too, but I didn't dare to act, and I kind of regret it. I've used the breakout with reduced volume on ZEC before; it works pretty well. Not many people can keep their emotions in check, and that's where the difficulty lies.

Waiting, following, and holding—basically, you just have to endure. What I fear most are brothers who go all-in after just glancing at the K-line; nine out of ten times, they're just paying tuition fees.

It sounds really genuine, like that feeling of staying up all night waiting for signals and getting it right on the first try. But I’ve tried this method myself and found that waiting is more torturous than making money. To be honest, I agree with those three words — most people simply can't wait, and neither can I. I’ve noted the breakout with reduced volume; I’ll pay close attention to the trading volume next time. Feeling that 56,000 per order is a bit far from me, but the overall idea is clear. I need to stop guessing the top and bottom. I discussed with friends that the hardest part is sticking to discipline; I always find it hard to cut losses. Emotional reactions are the most genuine — the account is just like a casino.
