Having navigated the crypto world for years, I’ve seen too many people get rich overnight only to be wiped out just as quickly. Risks and opportunities often exist in a split second.

I’ve made plenty of detours myself. In the early days, I followed the hype, listened to rumors, and traded frequently, with predictable results. It wasn’t until later that I realized that in this market, quick money is most likely to turn into a trap. I changed my strategy and spent three years testing a relatively stable approach, which has worked pretty well.

This approach is actually quite simple, summarized in three points:

**First, control the frequency of trades.** Many people place over ten orders a day, their fingers unable to stop. My habit is at most two trades a day; sometimes I don’t trade much in a week. There are plenty of market opportunities, so I’m not worried about missing out.

**Second, focus on a few coins.** Instead of chasing wave after wave of skyrocketing tokens, I prefer to select 2-3 mainstream coins and focus on them long-term. Getting to know their temperament and characteristics is more important than anything else.

**Third, stick to pre-set entry and exit rules.** Write down the entry and exit prices in advance; execute when the price hits, wait if it doesn’t. It sounds simple, but executing it requires strong mental discipline.

Position management is also key. Only move one-fifth to one-third of your account each time, set take-profit and stop-loss orders in advance, and then stop watching the screen. Many losses happen during those “reckless” moments.

The market’s harshest punishment isn’t for beginners, but for those who can’t control themselves. Even smart traders often fall into prediction traps, frequently adding positions, and ending up with a margin call. I rely on “slow” and “patience”—outlasting opponents with time, and surviving until the end.

This path isn’t built in a day. I’ve experienced account drawdowns and shaken confidence along the way, but I never changed my approach. Sticking to the rules, the volatility of the crypto market instead became an opportunity to accumulate chips.

Want to achieve steady profits in the crypto space? Remember these points: don’t trade recklessly, allocate your positions wisely, and stick strictly to your rules. There’s no need to rush for quick gains; follow a steady pace, and everyone can find their own rhythm.
