Having gone through pitfalls and paid tuition, I finally managed to climb out with these three tricks. To be frank, I paid every price that needed to be paid without missing a single cent. At the worst, I could explode to 3000U in a day, and that sweaty-palmed, heart-pounding feeling was very vivid. It wasn't until last year, when I only had 10,000U left, that I truly forced myself to make a choice: either completely quit or completely change my approach.
I don't expect to get rich overnight; I just want every step to be solid. It is this "timidity" that allowed traders who once impulsively rushed in to gradually find their rhythm. In less than two weeks, 10,000U turned into 56,000U; then into 186,000U, riding a wave of main upward movement and rolling in profits three times. Behind this is not luck, but a systematic methodology.
**The first key: Rhythm is better than trend, and structural misalignment is a waste of effort**
A typical mistake in early trading was—buying on hype when bullish, cutting losses when bearish. The result? Always buying high and selling low. Only later did I realize a simple truth: not all market conditions are worth participating in.
Now, before each move, I first assess whether the overall structure is truly in place. Even if the community is shouting "a surge is imminent," if the structure is wrong, I hold firm and do nothing. It’s like driving—it's impossible to step on the accelerator the entire time; you need to brake when necessary.
How to analyze the structure? Two core points: first, whether the level has closed; second, whether the momentum has already exhausted. Don’t be fooled by flashy indicators—master the basics of candlestick patterns and volume. That’s enough. Structure is the skeleton of the market; understanding it gives trading direction.

Another story of "I've achieved enlightenment." This time, is it about a sense of rhythm? Sounds nice, but honestly, it's still about cutting losses and waiting, haha.

Wow, I see this 10,000 U turn into 186,000. The rhythm is really amazing. I'm still exploring... If the structure is wrong, just hold on tightly. You're so right. I used to go all in every day and bought at the top haha.

Alright, this set of theories sounds good, but execution is still difficult. I’ve been cut multiple times myself before I realized that not every rise should be chased. The concept of structure sounds simple, but when looking at candlesticks, it’s easy to be dazzled by short-term fluctuations.

10,000 to 186,000? That number sounds a bit unbelievable, but the word "coward" really hits the point.

Well... to put it simply, not being greedy and holding steady is the true way to succeed.
From 10,000U to 186,000, the data looks great, but I really want to know how many times I wanted to buy the dip but held back (´;ω;`)
I agree with the concept of closing the structure, but unfortunately most people simply can't do it—"brake when you should brake," they just can't get past that psychological hurdle.

It's the same old story again, turning 10,000U into 186,000. How much good luck does that take?
