Last year, I heard a friend casually talk about making 12 million in a year:

This has nothing to do with luck. It's just that I lost enough and suffered enough in previous years to finally learn how to survive in the market.

During that period, his schedule flipped completely:
Sleep at 8 PM, wake up at 3 AM sharp, dedicated to watching the US and European sessions.
He gradually figured out the pattern—the real major moves mostly happen during US and European trading hours.
Several times there were continuous rallies at 3 AM, and a single wave could net over 30% gains.
Without grinding through those nights, you won't even get a chance to eat meat.

He never cared about daytime dips.
Most of the sharp drops during Asian hours are essentially bear traps and shakeouts.
Like last July, Bitcoin crashed to 59k during the day, the whole market turned bearish,
yet he decisively placed buy orders at 58.5k, and it shot straight to 63k that same night.
The more panic in the Asian session, the higher the probability of a Euro-US rebound.

He sees wick moves crystal clear.
Once SOL wicked down to 125, then doubled in two days.
In his eyes, these long wicks aren't accidents—they're clear signals of whale wash trading.

On fundamentals, he never chased hot topics and followed trends.
Before ETF approval last June, Bitcoin had already rallied for seven days straight.
When the good news officially dropped, he immediately liquidated and shorted instead, catching a nearly 10% crash the next day.
He said: "The market trades expectations, not the moment news lands."

He always held one bottom line: strict position sizing.
Never risk more than 5% per trade, never bet for one shot at riches.
"Survive first, then you earn the right to profit later."

The most valuable thing in markets has never been precise predictions—it's iron discipline.
It's not about how accurately you read the market, but whether you can control your hands and keep your cool.
Knowing when to cut losses, how to wait, and having self-control—that's the real edge of top traders.
