How to survive in short-term trading? Keep these six tips in mind.



**Tip 1: Don't act rashly during consolidation**
Moving sideways at high levels, why are you in such a hurry? Don't panic sell during low-level accumulation either. When the direction isn't clear, don't get itchy.

**Tip 2: Ranging markets are a trap**
Many people get caught during sideways periods, resulting in liquidation. Wait for a breakout signal before acting; don't place premature bets out of impulse.

**Tip 3: Trade against the trend for more profit**
Enter during large bearish candles, exit during large bullish candles. When the price drops deeply, it's an opportunity; when it stabilizes and rises, take profits and exit.

**Tip 4: Rapid drops are actually good**
A slow decline is boring; a quick sell-off often leads to a stronger rebound. Seeing a waterfall decline? That could be a good time to position.

**Tip 5: Pyramid-style position building**
In the bottom zone, add a little each time it drops 10%. This helps lower the average cost and leaves more room for profit on the rebound. The key is not to go all-in at once.

**Tip 6: Be decisive during trend reversals**
After a sharp rise and sideways movement? Withdraw your principal, keep the profits. After a rapid drop and sideways movement? Cut your position quickly, don’t hold out of hope.

In essence, don’t guess, don’t chase, don’t gamble. Follow the rules—discipline is more important than intelligence.

Small funds can grow big, as long as you stick to the rules, hold onto your principal, and lock in profits. Over time, you'll find your account growing as if you're cheating.

In the crypto world, it's not about who is smarter, but who can stick to the rules till the end. Stay calm, be patient, and strictly follow discipline—doing these already puts you ahead of most people.

What about ETH now? Follow the method, don’t rush.

There's nothing wrong with that, but being reckless is the biggest enemy. The day before yesterday, I cut what I shouldn't have, and now I watch the rebound, grinding my teeth.

That's right, discipline is indeed more valuable than intelligence. Over the past two years, I've suffered from sideways markets, impulsively going all-in too early, and the result was a big laugh.

Sounds good, but how many can truly resist the urge? I definitely can't; my fingers start to itch during sideways trading.

That's right, I'm just worried that during the sideways period, I might get too impulsive and cause a sudden breakout.

Basically, it's that they can't hold back. As soon as it consolidates, they start messing around. Then they get liquidated and are still here researching pyramid averaging. It's hilarious.

That's right, discipline is the key. I've only realized this recently. During the previous sideways market, I impulsively chased in and ended up losing a big chunk. Now I've learned my lesson.
