The account has hit a new high again. To be honest, I feel very calm inside, even a bit unperturbed. From the initial six-figure amount to the current scale, I am increasingly convinced of a simple truth: there are no real "prophets" in this market; only those who have learned to listen to the market pulse.

I’ve given my trading style a name — "Follow-the-Trend Player." It sounds unremarkable, but this simple logic has saved me several times. I never aim to precisely predict tops and bottoms; I only care whether the current wave has enough momentum. Like surfing, when the wave comes, I go up; when it loses strength, I come down. Overcomplicating things often leads to capsizing.

**The core of my simple approach**

Noise is the poison of trading. I used to spend all day in various groups, flipping through lengthy reports from different analysts, but instead of gaining clarity, my mind would become overloaded and I’d often get shaky hands. Later, I made a decision — to block most of the noise. Prices will speak for themselves. For example, when a popular coin repeatedly stabilizes at key levels and then surges with increased volume, I don’t overthink it; I just follow. It’s not because I have exceptional insight, but because the candlestick charts already give the answer.

Some people always want to force me to predict: "How high do you think it can go?" Honestly, I don’t know. That’s my most sincere answer. I used to love predicting tops and bottoms, but after being proven wrong many times, I simply gave up. Now I focus on one thing: is the trend good or bad? When the upward momentum flattens, trading volume diminishes, and the energy clearly wanes, I start reducing my position or try a contrarian move. Not because I can pinpoint the decline, but because the upward force has been exhausted.

**Position size is the line between life and death**

This is a lesson I learned the hard way through losses. No matter how attractive the market is, I only dare to risk at most 2% of my total capital on a single trade. You can only hold on if you can afford to lose. Too many people do the opposite — they take quick profits and rush to exit, but when they lose, they stubbornly hold on. In the end, they make small profits but suffer big losses, which is unnecessary self-torture.

Emotions always reflect the opposite mirror. I check the market sentiment indicator every day. When it’s extremely crazy, that’s often the time to stay alert and cautious. And vice versa.
