Let me talk about this ETH position I’m holding—it can serve as a real-time case study for everyone. I opened the position around 2800, and now it's above 3200, which I’ve held for about two weeks. I remember mentioning during last week’s livestream that the market might have a surprise, and that’s when we entered together. Along the way, there was a deep correction—the price dropped to over 2700 and this position was in a floating loss, but I didn’t take any action.
Why choose to hold long-term? Honestly, there’s not much point in scalping mainstream coins like ETH—the effort for a quick trade just nets you 100 or 200 points, which feels like scratching an itch. It’s not like some altcoins that can double several times in a day without leverage. If I wanted to make fast money, I’d just go after those explosive targets—I do have the ability to analyze those.
Since my focus is long-term, I don’t pay too much attention to short-term fluctuations. If you’re constantly stressing over every rise and dip, you’ll miss out on the real long-term profits. Either trade short-term with discipline or stick to your long-term plan—don’t try to have it both ways. Both strategies can be profitable, but greed can make you lose out on both ends: turning a short-term trade into a long-term hold, or bailing out on a long-term plan too soon and turning it into a short-term loss. You could even end up losing money.
Some people ask me, “Why do you never end up trapped in a trade, but I do?” The answer is simple: for long-term trades, I only enter at key levels, waiting for golden opportunities before getting in. Plus, I only make money within my circle of competence—I don’t touch opportunities I don’t fully understand. For example, my spot BTC purchase at 92000 and my ETH long contract at 2810—these trade records have always been publicly available.
Another critical point: you need to have your own judgment system—don’t let others sway you easily. On this journey, you have to trust yourself. I always say—just being alive is already a miracle, so you need to be confident, independent, and strong. You can respect the gods, but are gods really gods? Once you understand this, a lot of things become clear.
