Watching the fluctuations on the K-line, I suddenly recall a classic quote by Soros: "The value of a trading system never lies in its ability to accurately predict every rise and fall. Its true function is to help you survive in a market that is always full of uncertainty, and even make money."
I deeply resonate with this. I remember the experience of messing around with CLO and AERGO some time ago—one plummeted painfully, while the other rose against the wind. At that time, I was mentally hostage to losses, thinking I could turn things around by predicting market trends. As a result, I disrupted my rhythm and it became more chaotic. I finally understood that a trading system is like a practice method in cultivation—it's not meant to conquer the market's waves, but to find a stable foothold amid the waves.
The market is inherently unpredictable. Always trying to precisely catch every rise and fall is like trying to catch the wind—futile. What is truly reliable is a set of proven entry and exit rules—position size is like breathing, you should know when to be heavy or light; stop-loss is like knowing when to let go—when it's time, you must let go, no dragging or hesitation.
While major coins like BTC are still being tossed around, if you have a system in place, it's like a ship with a helmsman—no matter how big the waves, you're not afraid. Profits and losses are just weather changes along the journey; what truly keeps you going is that stable trading system. You don't need to guess where each cloud will drift; all you need to do is ensure you're always on the right path.
*Follow the system with your heart, not the ups and downs. When the wind blows the flag, your inner boat will naturally be as steady as a rock.*

Well said, the system has saved me several times, or I would have been liquidated long ago.

That's what they say, but how many can truly stick to a system? I think most are still being led by the market trends.
To be honest, I was also in that CLO wave. I was just impulsive at the time, trying to make a comeback, but I ended up going deeper and deeper.

Damn, this article really hits home. I used to be the kind of idiot who thought about hitting every target point perfectly every day, but the more I calculated, the more I crashed. Now I understand that the system's purpose isn't really to make you predict correctly, but to keep you alive.

Bro, I agree with this statement, but to be honest, sometimes no matter how perfect the system is, it can't withstand our own messing around.

Actually, the whole "system over prediction" angle is solid—but let's be real, most traders don't actually have a *real* system, they just have vibes and hope. CLO and AERGO swings are textbook examples of correlation breakdown, which is exactly why I run statistical arbitrage models across CEX/DEX pairs instead of chasing individual tokens. The Sharpe ratio speaks louder than zen metaphors.

Breaking the system is stronger than breaking predictions, I agree, but to be honest, not many can stick with it.
