Over the past few years trading in the crypto market, my deepest realization isn't how many candlestick patterns I've learned, but rather the courage to give up on unpredictable market trends.



The core competitiveness in trading has never been about analyzing complex charts, but about whether you can stick to the parts you truly understand. My trading logic is this: keep it simple, transparent information, and trade cautiously.

**First high-probability pattern: Confirmation breakout after trend pullback**

After a price surge, it naturally retraces, but key support levels hold firm without breaking, and trading volume begins to shrink. When the price approaches previous highs or support levels again and starts to rise, that's the real opportunity to follow the trend. Many fear missing out on the move and chase after the breakout prematurely, not realizing that the safest entry points are often after confirmation, not rushing in blindly.

**Second trap identification: Quick rebound after false breakdown**

During sideways consolidation, a sudden surge in volume breaks through support, only to be pulled back immediately—that's a typical false breakout. My approach is to only follow through after confirmation of a pullback and subsequent breakout, especially when volume-price divergence or order book anomalies occur. At this point, most people are tempted to short, but my strict rule is: no confirmation, no action.

**Third opportunity: Accelerated rise after mid-trend shakeout**

During an uptrend, there may be sideways movement or retracements, with multiple attempts to shake out bearish sentiment, but the support at the bottom never truly breaks. Then the price accelerates upward. I choose to add positions when key supports stabilize and short-term breakouts occur. Even if I make a wrong call, I can accept it because I’ve entered at points where I can exit if needed.

**The three iron rules I stick to:**

Don’t try to top the market, don’t guess the bottom, don’t chase limit-ups— I only trade market patterns verified by my system. Any uncertain market outside my system, I choose to stay out and observe, pulling back completely.

Some say this might cause me to miss many profit opportunities, and I don’t deny it. But what I want is not to **trade more frequently, but to go further**.

Trading has never been about who can make the most, but about who loses the least, makes fewer mistakes, and persists longer. That is the true wisdom of making money.

That's so true. Without pushing your limits or guessing the bottom, you really live longer.

That's so true. Sticking to your position yields more profit than frequent trading.

Really, knowing you're bad at it is half the victory

Reasonable and well-founded, but execution is difficult.

That's right, I have insisted for three years not to chase limit-ups, losing a lot of blood in the process. Really, it's better to be indifferent than to see through; sometimes holding a cash position is the best move. Only enter after confirmation. It sounds slow, but actually it's fast, saving a lot of repeated stop-losses. I agree with this logic, but execution depends on mindset, and it's the most testing when there's floating profit. Giving up guessing the bottom is too heartbreaking; I used to lose quite a bit by not believing in evil. Repeating a simple system sounds easy, but in practice, it's difficult. Most people still can't resist making random moves. Never move without confirmation. I could stick these six words on the table.
