#数字资产行情上升 Some people say trading is the last chance for ordinary people to turn things around. I don't think that's entirely correct, but it's not completely wrong either.



Last year, at the beginning of the year, I mentored a friend, Xiao Wei. He started with a $2,000 principal. Six months later, his account held $110,000. This wasn't luck, nor was it gambling; it was simply using the right method.

What is the most common problem for beginners? Making a little profit and then rushing to exit, losing a little and panicking to make it back. On the surface, it's a mindset issue, but in reality, it's about not finding the rhythm. No matter how good the market is, if you can't grasp the rhythm, you'll still lose. I found that many people aren't lacking ability; they're just scared off by volatile markets.

This method isn't complicated; it boils down to three core points. How well you can learn depends on how much reverence you have for the market.

**First: Follow the trend and avoid volatility**

Choppy markets are the biggest trap for position building. Markets without a clear direction and lacking volume support are all false signals. What are we waiting for? We're waiting for the main players to increase volume, for the price to break out, and for market sentiment to ignite. Xiao Wei's first trade was entering early before Bitcoin was about to break out. When the trend started, his position doubled instantly, and profits took off. This isn't prediction; it's recognizing the critical point of the trend.

**Second: Add to positions with unrealized gains, not with gambler's mentality**

I advised Xiao Wei to invest only 5% of his principal in the first trade. After seeing unrealized gains, he started adding positions, gradually increasing when profits exceeded 50%. The key point here: never add to losing positions, only roll over profitable trades.

Many fall into this trap—trying to recover losses by adding more, or closing positions quickly out of fear after some profit, afraid to let it run. This prevents the account from growing significantly. The real logic of adding positions is to amplify advantages based on existing profits, not to stubbornly hold onto losing positions hoping to turn things around. Mindset and execution must go hand in hand.

**Third: Have a routine for taking profits, don’t be inflexible**

The "Three-Stage Take Profit" logic is as follows: first, lock in profits to ensure safety; second, protect the principal to reduce risk; third, release some positions to let the remaining holdings run freely.

Many people either close all positions (essentially out of fear) or refuse to take profits (essentially out of luck). Both are due to not grasping the rhythm. Dancing on the edge of a knife, one wrong step can lead to total loss; but if the rhythm is right, you can grow from small amounts to large sums.

**Reflecting on Xiao Wei’s past six months**

From $2,000 to $110,000, the entire process involved no gambling or luck. What supported all this? Four words: trend-following, rhythm, execution.

Many believe there are few opportunities in the crypto market, but that’s not true. What’s truly scarce is the ability to maintain rhythm and not be disturbed by market noise. The market is still volatile, making it a perfect time to practice rhythm.

I never boast or make empty promises; I only share methods that help you survive in the market. These are proven through real trading.

Getting the rhythm right can take you from small to big, it's satisfying to listen to but really difficult. Most people are still shaken out by the volatility.

Sense of rhythm is really impressive, but I still have some doubts about that deal with Xiao Wei.

That's right, but 99% of people can't get over the hurdle of execution.

Sense of rhythm is easy to talk about, but when the market fluctuates, most people will still panic.

In simple terms, you need to have a disciplined approach to take profits and cut losses; otherwise, even the best market conditions are useless.
