A couple of days ago, a trader asked in the discussion area: With such volatile market swings, how can you avoid getting trapped?

My answer was: If you haven't figured out your trading rhythm, even the most accurate directional judgment is useless—it all comes to nothing in the end. Many people fail not because they're bad at reading the charts, but because their mindset and rhythm are completely chaotic.

Let's talk about opening positions first. I've seen too many people who can't sit still after a big green candle—they rush in immediately, only to get dumped on as soon as they enter, forced to cut their losses and exit. The next day, they see the price has already skyrocketed, and the regret is indescribable.

That's a classic case of impulsiveness. The market fears one thing above all—being impatient. Impatience makes you chase the pump and sell the dip; that's the hallmark of a bagholder. Beginners need to remember: it's better to watch and wait than to participate in a bad trade. Wait until the trend is truly clear before gently riding the momentum. Opportunities come every so often—there's no need to rush for this one bite.

Then there are others who get the direction right but simply can't hold their position. As soon as it goes up 2%, they can't help but close out, only to watch the market surge another 20% while others count their profits with a smile. That's losing your rhythm too—failing to lock in the profits you should, or not cutting the losses when you must.

So you must set rules for yourself: don't move until your take-profit target is hit; exit immediately when your stop-loss is triggered—no exceptions. Have the patience to wait for opportunities and the courage to admit mistakes and exit—that's the real key to surviving in this market for the long haul.

Trading, to put it simply, isn't a 100-meter sprint—it's a marathon. You need to learn when to stop, when to walk, and when to run. Accelerate when it's time to go all out, brake when it's time to stop. Rhythm is more important than speed.

Market cycles never end, and there will always be opportunities. But once your account is wiped out, you've lost your ticket to the game forever—you won't be around for the next bull market.

In the crypto market, temptation and traps coexist, and very few can consistently make profits. Master trading discipline, and you'll survive longer in this game.
