Recently, I was talking with a friend about trading styles and only then realized that I really have quite a few differences from those traders who frequently participate in new coin launches.

Honestly, I have hardly ever taken the path of IPOs—except for that period in October last year, I was basically just a bystander. I also rarely stay up late to monitor the market; setting my phone to airplane mode and sleeping has become routine.

Even in the hottest market of 2024, my strategy mainly revolves around two directions: one is to lay low on potential projects, and the other is to prepare for a secondary wave at key positions. The focus is mainly on the foreign markets, and my tools are quite simple—just a monitoring tool for addresses and a swap. As for those crypto discussion groups? No more than three, there's no need to join too many.

Although this approach has missed some opportunities for quick profits, it maintains a stable rhythm and makes it easier to manage my mindset. Ultimately, trading is about finding a rhythm that suits you, rather than blindly following all the hot trends.

This is the difference. The approach of IPOs ultimately comes down to luck. I still prefer your style.

Basically, it's the lazy trader method (laughs). I'm also part of this group. Staying up late to watch the market is really exhausting.

This mindset is truly impeccable. Not staying up late, not chasing trends, relying solely on patience and secondary strategies to steadily sell, shows that you've long understood your own rhythm. The IPO approach really is about quick profits, but the pitfalls come quickly as well. It's more reliable to stay rooted in the foreign markets like you do. The detail of sleeping in airplane mode is brilliant; so many people lose their composure because they check the markets in the middle of the night.

Wow, this is the real trading logic. The IPO trading method is really exhausting, and I am also firmly not involved in that camp.

Really, I've already given up on the IPO game; that stuff is a king of volatility. Maintaining a steady pace is indeed satisfying, no longer being controlled by FOMO all day. Speaking of people sleeping in airplane mode, their mindset is indeed different. Lurking in projects is much more reliable than blindly chasing hot topics. Compared to the noise in those discussion groups, it's more practical to keep an eye on address movements. However, missing out on quick profit opportunities... sometimes it's a bit regretful to see others making money. This strategy is a bit like playing a long-term psychological game.

I think the most brilliant part of your strategy is the flight mode sleep method haha, it's really the pinnacle of mindset management. But honestly, missing out on quick money from IPOs is indeed a lot, but staying alive and making money is worth more than anything. The advice within those three groups is excellent. I previously joined more than ten groups, and I was bombarded with arbitrage orders every day. Now I've reduced them. Maintaining a steady rhythm is really much more comfortable than chasing hot topics. That's how I got through last year. This is probably the right way to survive long-term, right?

This is the true trading logic, not about who stays up late more ruthlessly.
