#数字资产市场动态 Going with the trend is the true essence of crypto trading



The longer you trade, the more you will realize: the real way to make money is never through complicated technical indicators, but through reverence for and grasp of the "trend."

**The trend is the absolute ruler of the market**

When the market is in an upward trend, you should follow the rise; when a downward signal appears, decisively follow the fall. Trading against the trend is like going against the market, and losses are almost inevitable. The market won't change direction because of your personal judgment. Only by recognizing this can you survive longer.

**The power of larger cycles is unstoppable**

Hourly and daily charts often deceive, filled with noise and traps, but larger cycles like weekly and monthly trends are beyond retail traders' ability to reverse. It takes time for a giant ship to turn around. Once the main upward wave starts, all you can do is seize that inertia for profit. Take $BTC as an example: after confirming major cycle trends, it often leads to spectacular market movements.

**Trade on larger cycles, noise naturally dissipates**

Operating on a higher level greatly reduces market fluctuations' interference, increasing your win rate. Don't be fooled by every K-line or small rise and fall—that only feeds your "technical OCD" and drags you down. The key is to see the big picture clearly; other details are just clouds.

**Confirm the trend, patience is a form of wisdom**

When small retracements occur, they are often not signals to escape but opportunities to re-enter. Is the market not ready yet? Then be patient and wait until the trend is fully confirmed before acting decisively. Once a stop-loss is triggered, also exit without hesitation—don't hard fight the market.

**Maintain resolve, be clear and persistent**

Once a trend is established, stay firm whether going long or short. Don't change your position easily; this resolve often determines your final profit.

**Trading philosophy: wait, observe, confirm, follow**

The core of trend trading is simple—wait for the trend to form, observe market reactions, wait for confirmation signals, then follow the main flow. It sounds simple, but requires patience and discipline to execute. Pick the main market trend, try small positions for testing, and add on when momentum explodes. This way, the profits from a wave often surpass the gains from frequent small trades.

**Don't chase small gains; the bigger the trend, the easier the profit**

Instead of getting tangled in tiny fluctuations of various small coins, focus on major trend markets. Because large trends have higher tolerance for errors—if you make a few wrong guesses, as long as you end up in the right direction, you can reverse the situation.

**Risk management is always fundamental**

Stop-loss settings must not be arbitrary. Control your stop-loss costs to reduce the cost of each mistake and leave room for trend amplification. In the face of big trends, a few small losses are nothing; the final profit is what matters.

**Trend is the source of power**

No matter how beautiful the pattern, without the support of a major trend, it’s just a castle in the air. True stable profits come from consistency in large cycles—clear direction in big cycles ensures small cycles won't go haywire. This is the fundamental difference between those who can profit steadily and those who are always losing.

As long as you are willing to follow the trend, discard unnecessary ideas, trading will become easier and making money will become simpler. Ultimately, you will become a winner in the market.

Exactly right, but executing it is damn difficult... I keep getting fooled by the daily chart.

It sounds good, but in reality, it's still a loss...

That's right, you just need to look at the bigger cycle and not get crazy over those small fluctuations on the daily chart.

Exactly right, but too many people can't do it... Just looking at weekly and monthly charts, what's the use? Isn't it just panic when there's a single limit-down?

That's so right. I was fooled by the daily chart before, but now I'm firmly watching the weekly and monthly charts. Much more comfortable.

After hearing "go with the trend" for so many years, why do some people still chase highs in 2017 and buy the dip in 2018, ending up losing everything? Trends are easy to talk about, but by the time you confirm them, the price has already risen by half.
