Two months, 20U challenge to 2000U. Next, I’ll share the insights of a seasoned veteran with six years of experience. Feel free to take a look when you're bored.
Be sure to find the trend direction and timing method that suits you. For example, if you're a long-term trader, your entry points and timing are different from short-term traders. I believe most people are short-term traders because long-term capital is limited and the returns are smaller, but the core principles remain the same.
If you trade on a monthly chart, your entry cycle is based on the 3-day or weekly moving average, so your entry points don’t need to be extremely precise. Instead, you wait for clear rebound or breakout signals before entering. For Ethereum monthly traders, a difference of 30-50 points at entry isn’t important; what matters is confirming the trend.
I now prefer double confirmation—such as a second bottom or a breakout without breaking the first support level—then a quick surge followed by a trend continuation. When combined with liquidity, many top traders achieve risk-reward ratios of 5:1 or even 10:1 on long-term trades. As long as your win rate is 50%, you will never lose in this market.
Now, let’s talk about short-term day trading. The 1-minute chart is never the ideal entry timeframe. I personally look at the 30-minute chart, then find entry points on the 15-minute chart, using Bollinger Bands combined with EMA and liquidity to select positions. Achieving a 3:1 risk-reward ratio with a 50% win rate makes you a very successful trader in this market. Many traders with win rates of 50-60% can make consistent profits, while those with win rates of 90-95% or even 100% often end up losing money because they focus only on win rate and ignore risk-reward ratios. Holding onto trades with such high win rates can ultimately lead to losses.
Another important point is that beginners often encounter this: when the market is accelerating downward or upward, they always try to catch the bottom or top. This mindset is wrong—I've experienced this countless times as a veteran trader. You might catch one good move, but if you get it wrong once, you’re likely to quickly try to catch the next, leading to overtrading and blowing up your account. This is an emotional issue; no one can control it. So, don’t chase the market—trend is king.
Time is used to gain space. Most of the time, wait patiently. When an opportunity arises, enter decisively. Set your risk-reward ratio, execute with discipline, and stay calm and steady.
