Why do some people only experience three or four market waves a year but still manage to double their profits? The secret is actually hidden in the four words "Reject the Noise."
Many traders get stuck in confusion over timeframes— I never look at movements below the daily chart, only focus on structure on the 4-hour chart, and the true entry signals must be confirmed by the weekly or even daily charts. I start with a 0.1 lot trial position, which is like asking questions with a stone—wait until the weekly close confirms the direction before gradually building the position. Set stop-loss outside the reverse low of the weekly K-line, wide enough for the market to fluctuate freely, yet wide enough for me to sleep soundly.
Each trade is held for at least a month. Not rigidly holding, but truly letting go of the habit of constantly watching the screen—just check three minutes at the close each day, see if the trend continues or consolidates, and that’s enough. The rest of the time, read books, exercise, do side jobs. People around you only know you’re doing some investing; they can’t imagine you’re holding seven-figure positions.
Here’s a key point: most people can’t hold onto their positions because their eyes are glued to the floating profits and losses. I only look at whether the trend itself is dead or alive— as long as the K-line structure isn’t broken, I pretend this position doesn’t exist. Nine out of ten small stop-losses are a waste of effort, but the tenth’s gains can cover all costs and even earn enough for a year’s living expenses. Big money always comes from the main market trend, not from high-frequency trading extracted from details.
If you’re worried about psychological pressure, start doubling your position from 0.1 lot. Once the frequency drops, leverage can be used healthily— even the strongest system can’t withstand the wear and tear of high-frequency operations. Simple math: capturing three to four market waves a year, each aiming for 50% profit, compounded, this is the starting point for doubling. The crypto market is never short of volatility opportunities; what’s missing is the discipline to clearly distinguish between fluctuations and trends.
Real trading, not just armchair speculation. If you want to avoid pitfalls steadily and accumulate steadily, you don’t have to go it alone in the crypto world—this proven logic can help you find your rhythm.

That's quite right; most people simply can't let go of watching the market.

That's true, but knowing is easy, doing is hard. Few can really endure not checking the market.

Sounds good, but how many can actually do it? I've seen too many people say they will let go of watching the charts, but end up looking at the charts in the middle of the night.

That's right, it's all about restraint. My biggest lesson is watching too many minute charts and frequently stopping losses.

If you can't hold the position, you just can't hold it. Why bother with so much nonsense?

actually, the math checks out but the psychology doesn't—most people can't stomach a month-long hold without fomo-trading themselves into oblivion. the 0.1x starter position thing is theoretically sound, empirically speaking though, 90% will scale in early and blow through their stops by week two. statistically significant difference between "holding discipline" and "actually having it," ngl.

What you said is absolutely right, it's just that most people can't do it.

It's easy to say, but the key is to withstand the psychological hurdle.
