Any trading strategy, as long as there are no unknown blind spots in the market and it is executed strictly according to the rules, the more trades you make, the closer your win rate will be to 50%—it's like flipping a coin repeatedly; the more times you do it, the more evenly distributed the heads and tails become.



But short-term trading inherently faces an awkward reality: it’s difficult to achieve a high risk-reward ratio. Given this, there are only two paths to stable profitability in short-term trading.

**First: Improve the win rate**

How to improve? The core is to find coins and sectors with high tolerance for errors. What does high tolerance mean? Simply put, even if you get caught in a trade today, you can quickly rebound tomorrow. This characteristic is usually found in mainstream coins and core assets within mainstream sectors.

Staying close to the mainstream and core is the fundamental premise. Even trading based on emotional nodes that emphasize rhythm must be built on this premise. Only then can you potentially raise your win rate to 60%, 70%, or even 80% at certain stages.

**Second: Rationally allocate positions**

Dare to add positions when the market is good, and reduce or go flat when the market is bad. This sounds simple, but true short-term experts will maintain a small position even in the worst market conditions—perhaps just 10% of the account or a few hundred coins.

This is not out of impatience, but to constantly feel the market pulse and avoid distancing oneself from the market. These small positions are actually trial-and-error orders, the cost of continuously learning market sentiment.

That's right, mainstream coins should be held onto, and don't mess around with small altcoins.

Basically, you still have to stick with mainstream coins; small-cap tokens are hopeless once they go south.

That's right, it seems like many people are stuck here with the risk-reward ratio. Dipping into mainstream coins is still more comfortable and reacts quickly. I quite agree with this approach to position management; indeed, you need to stick to the chart.

That's correct. Mainstream coins indeed have a high tolerance rate, but the problem is that most people simply can't follow strict execution.
