Fifth Day of Trading – Turning Consistent Gains Into Reality

Hit day five of my trading run, and I've learned something pretty fundamental: you don't need to bend the rules to actually make money. Sounds obvious, but watch how many traders ignore this.

Started the morning reviewing my positions from the previous sessions. Most moves stuck to basic fundamentals – I focused on coins showing genuine momentum with solid volume backing, avoided chasing pumps just for the sake of it. The discipline feels boring until it actually works.

Walked through three solid trades today. Two were solid wins, one I closed early because the setup broke down. That's not a loss on the books – it's a save. Knowing when to bail beats stubbornly holding dead weight.

The real lesson? Playing it straight – sticking to your rules, respecting position sizing, not overleveraging – actually compounds faster than the risky gambles. I kept my entries clean, my exits planned, no revenge trading, no FOMO moves into random altcoins at 3 AM.

Five days in and the pattern's becoming clearer. Consistency beats heroics every single time.
