In the cryptocurrency trading circle, there's often a question—how can you consistently make money?



Actually, the answer is much simpler than most people think. What keeps an account alive for a long time is never a single big profit trade, but a trading system that is hard to go wrong with.

Many traders have experienced this curse: buy and it drops, sell and it rises, a margin call and then the market takes off. On the surface, it seems like luck, but deep down, it's a problem with trading rhythm—placing orders too hastily, trading too frequently, over-relying on gut feelings.

The first step of this system is not aiming for high returns, but implementing stop-losses. For example, if an account starts with the last 5000U, the primary goal is to stop the previous bleeding and rebuild trading confidence. Only when the foundation is stable can subsequent profits be meaningful.

Of course, I've also seen accounts that achieve capital growth in a short period under strict risk control. But to be honest—not everyone is suitable for this market, especially those who haven't yet understood the difference between trading and gambling.

Many prefer to leverage high, go all-in, and expect a quick turnaround, rather than accepting a slower, smaller, steadier pace. As a result, their accounts shrink, their mindset becomes more chaotic, and they ultimately leave the market in disappointment.

People who understand rhythm have an advantage: they don't need to watch the screen every day. Trading itself isn't complicated; the hard part is giving up reckless behavior.

This approach may seem clumsy, but precisely because it's "clumsy," the account can survive. As long as you're willing to operate according to rhythm and stick to discipline, previous losses are not necessarily lost forever.

In summary: Market movements depend on judgment, profits depend on rhythm, and turning the situation around depends on discipline.

That's so true. Most people die dreaming of a "big comeback."

Basically, don't be greedy, don't rush, and don't act recklessly. That's the key to survival.

To be honest, most people die because of the word "urgency." I've seen many who go all-in in one shot hoping to turn things around, only to have their accounts wiped clean.

That's right, stop-loss is a fundamental skill, but too many people just refuse to admit it... keeping the account alive is more important than anything else.

That's correct, but I've seen this theory too many times. The problem is that most people know they need to stick to discipline, but they can't do it—once their mindset collapses, they forget everything. According to my quantitative backtest data, accounts with strict stop-losses have a survival rate about 40% higher, but the execution rate is the real bottleneck.

Basically, it's still that old saying: living is more important than making quick money... I've seen too many gamblers lose everything overnight and go back to square one.

To be honest, most people just can't control their hands and have to go all in to feel at ease. --- Stop-loss is indeed a fundamental skill, but very few actually master it. --- People who understand the rhythm do make profits for a longer time, I agree with that. --- Going all in every day and blaming the market for not giving opportunities is just funny. --- Rhythm, rhythm—it's easy to say but hard to do, buddy. --- Having an account that lasts a long time is not wrong, as long as you can truly trade with discipline. --- Looking clumsy is actually the smartest move; on the other hand, those who trade frequently often end up blowing up. --- The example of rebuilding confidence with 5000U really hit home; many people die because they refuse to cut losses. --- High leverage always ends the same way—going to zero. --- That's why some people grow steadily while others keep losing money; the difference is huge. --- Discipline is the most valuable thing in trading, but unfortunately, not many people understand that. --- No matter how accurate your market judgment is, it’s useless if your mindset is chaotic.
