#数字资产市场动态 How exactly can short-term trading be done to achieve stable profits? I have been asked this question countless times.



To put it simply: making money in short-term trading relies not on quick hands, but on mastering rhythm, judgment, and discipline. Many people fail because of this.

**First, look at the structure.**

Where is the price currently? Where are the resistance above and support below? Is this trade worth taking? These questions must be thought through before entering. It’s not about drawing a chart for fun, but about making an informed "to enter or not" decision. Many people get this wrong.

**Next, anticipate market sentiment in advance.**

News is never used to chase after, but to predict potential market fluctuations. Waiting until the news fully materializes before acting? By then, it’s often too late. This is where rhythm comes into play.

**Furthermore, short-term trading should truly be short.**

Take profits within the day and exit quickly; don’t turn short-term trading into holding positions for too long. If you want to profit quickly through trading but are reluctant to take profits, the final result will only be one — being dragged along by the market, losing your principal as well.

Whether doing breakouts or range trading, there is only one prerequisite: if you are wrong, admit it quickly.

If you judge the wrong direction and a false breakout is confirmed, exit immediately. Fear of wolves in front and tigers behind will only make losses grow bigger.

**Two bottom lines are red lines:**

First, set a stop-loss. This is not optional.

Second, control your order frequency. Frequent trading doesn’t consume "trading opportunities," but real principal and your mindset.

Ultimately, whether short-term trading can make money depends not on how skilled your technique is, but on whether you can control your greed and fear.

Survival is the most important. Keep your principal safe, and genuine opportunities will naturally come to you.

Basically, it's a discipline issue. Most people fail because of greed, not lack of technical skills.

Sounds good, but the key is still to buy the dip and add positions... Wait, let me check the support levels again.

You're absolutely right, it's really a matter of discipline. I used to be the impulsive type, and as a result, I got cut pretty badly... Now I understand that not setting a stop-loss is just asking for trouble.

To be honest, short-term trading is a psychological battle. Technical charts are secondary; the key is whether you can hold your ground in the face of temptation.

That's right, stop-loss is really a watershed moment.

Data shows that most people still die because of emotions, and irrational mechanisms cause frequent trading... However, when it comes to stop-loss, there's really no room for negotiation. The observed rule is that only those who survive will have a tomorrow.

Really, stop-loss is the best way to see a person's mentality. Most people end up losing because they can't bear to press that button.
