That day at the close, I stared at the account number for half a day—netting 300,000 in a day. The lights outside, the noise downstairs, and the messages on my phone that I hadn't replied to had nothing to do with me.
At 32 this year, I am from Guangdong and have been drifting in Shanghai for ten years. Five years ago, I entered the market with 40,000 U, and I didn't even recognize all the K-lines; now my account has 62,000,000 U lying in it. I didn't rely on insider information, nor did I hit a bull market, but I stuck to one dead principle: treat trading like leveling up in a game, practice it to the extreme, execute mechanically, and get through those hurdles that almost dragged me down.
How hard is this road? I have experienced sleepless nights from liquidation, gripping my fists tightly while cutting losses, and thinking “forget it” while staring at a zero balance account—these are all things I have gone through. After six years of stumbling, I finally grasped the true essence of “surviving.”
I have summarized six iron rules:
1️⃣ Volume is a directional marker—don’t panic with slow rises and falls; large bearish volume is a harvesting signal.
2️⃣ Flash crashes are traps—weak rebounds mean the main force is offloading, don’t rush in.
3️⃣ Quietness at high positions is the most frightening—no volume consolidation is the calm before the storm.
4️⃣ Wait for confirmation at the bottom—low oscillation, volume contraction, and then expansion is the opportunity to build positions.
5️⃣ K-lines are results, volume is the truth—volume expansion means follow, volume contraction means wait.
6️⃣ Achieve a mindset of “nothing”—dare to hold cash, don’t be greedy, don’t fear, stability is more important than speed.
Opportunities in the cryptocurrency market are always there; the key is to have a stable mindset and execute properly. Most people are not slow to react; they just lack methodology, and their capital gets tossed around in waves.
I have stumbled into too many pitfalls; now, sharing my experiences is like holding a lamp to light the way—if you are willing to follow the rules, you can steadily reach the shore.
