In the crypto world, those who truly make money often hold the same secret—it's just two words: patience.
I've seen too many traders operate frequently, only to end up with nothing. Conversely, those who seem "lazy" repeatedly take action at critical moments, and their profits are often the most stable. Your energy should be allocated as follows:
Spend 70% of your time observing and waiting. Honestly, most market fluctuations are noise. Being able to calmly stay in cash is itself a rare skill.
Use 20% of your time to execute. When a high-probability opportunity appears—when the signal is clear and certainty is high—act decisively and don't hesitate.
The remaining 10% is for reflection and accumulation. But avoid falling into the trap of overanalyzing, as it can easily become an excuse to comfort yourself.
I often compare successful traders to hunters. Most of the time, they observe silently, eyes fixed on the prey, but never move recklessly. Only when the target enters shooting range and all conditions align do they fire decisively.
How exactly should you operate?
First, create a streamlined tracking list, selecting 5-10 mainstream coins with clear fundamentals and obvious trends. Don't be greedy; a list that's too long can distract you.
Second, set a few key observation points for each coin. For example, where is the historical high, where is the support level—like installing an early warning system for yourself.
Third, dedicate a little time each day to review the list. Don't watch the charts constantly; just check if any coin has triggered your pre-set entry signals.
What are the benefits of doing this? Different coins have different rhythms. This method allows you to switch flexibly among multiple opportunities, preventing you from only watching one and missing out on others.
The hardest part is overcoming the anxiety of "fear of missing out." Once this mindset controls you, you tend to operate frequently, often ending up with nothing.
When you've established a reliable strategy framework and have enough patience to wait, the market will eventually reward you accordingly. This is not just hype; it's a pattern.
The crypto market is never short of opportunities. What is scarce are those willing to patiently wait and have the ability to seize opportunities when they arrive.

Exactly right, but this 70% cash position is really tough to endure. I can't help but want to make a move every time.

That's true, but the problem is that most people simply can't do it. FOMO really is the devil.

That's true, but few people can actually do it. I'm the kind of fool who watches the market every day and ends up not even making back the transaction fees.

That's right, patience is key. The buddies around me who make money all do the same; staying out of the market every day actually makes their accounts grow faster.
Honestly, frequent trading is just cutting your own profits. I need to remember the 70-20-10 allocation.
Staying out of the market is much harder than trading, really.

Honestly, 70% cash position really requires a big heart; I often can't hold on.
