#数字资产生态回暖 Consolidation and sideways trading really test your execution skills.


Many people wait until the trend is exhausted, unaware that the real profit opportunities for retail traders are often hidden in daily fluctuations. A one-sided market is easy to copy, but that’s just waiting passively; those who can operate within volatility are earning every day.

This May, my account started with 3,000 U, and by the end of the month, it reached 27,000 U; after adjusting the rhythm in June, I broke through 100,000 U. This isn’t luck; it’s something carved out repeatedly through oscillations.

My bottom line is simple: small positions, quick entries and exits. Once profits reach 5%, immediately adjust the stop-loss to the cost price—this way, you can protect your principal and leave room for profit. After crossing the 5,000 U threshold, I began strict execution: first take out 2,000 U of profit to secure gains, then rotate the remaining funds in batches, adding positions only when favorable, never adding to losses.

That wave in SOL was a textbook-level operation. I started going long around 180, adding every time it rose by 5 points, then another batch at 190, and finally sold in parts around 195. Many followers who tracked this made over 8,000 U. Remember this: adding on profits in the direction of earning is called riding the trend; throwing more money in when losing is basically self-destructive.

Another trick I often use is called "Shadow Position." I won’t go into details, but during sharp market pullbacks, those who follow along avoid risk and further expand their profits. The most obvious effect was during BTC’s rapid declines.

Oscillations are not scary; what’s scary is having no plan. Wanting to profit from both rising and falling markets, not setting a stop-loss at all, and recklessly adding positions based on emotion—this is the killer move that chops up retail investors. Those who survive long-term and still profit are not the most aggressive, but those with steady rhythm, clear logic, and strong discipline.

If you haven’t yet found a breakthrough point in sideways markets, consider studying more practical strategies like these. The key is to be resolute in execution. I will keep walking this market path, and you are welcome to join me.

That's right, execution is the key. I'm most afraid of those indecisive actions, where they can't even bear a 5% stop loss.

Execution ability is indeed excellent; I just lack this skill.

It's true that execution is important, but the real challenge is mindset... not everyone can stay steady during fluctuations.
