Every day after dropping off the kids, I start recording the transaction volume, average price, and profit-loss ratio from the previous day at 9 AM. From 9:30 to 10:50, I focus on watching the market, adjusting positions for T+0 to catch the rhythm; in the afternoon, I check the market on my phone and wait if there are no opportunities; I finish work before 4 PM, going for a run, fishing, or relaxing. After dinner, I review the day and write a diary, answer questions in the community, and can also place orders while fishing.

When it comes to trading, there’s one bottom line: cash is king, never go fully invested. Keep more than 30% of the account as liquid funds, diversify positions, and adjust dynamically — if the market is strong, increase positions; if unstable, reduce positions to stay safe. The account is meant to sustain life; as long as you are in the market, there are opportunities.

Six lifelines for retail investors:​

・Setting stop-loss and take-profit is a military order; failing to stop-loss when wrong is hell​

・Don’t try to catch the bottom or top, instead, follow the trend to capture profits in the middle​

・A rise without volume is a trap; beware of the main force's performance​

・React within 3 seconds when good news is released; don’t miss the leading stock’s layout for a rebound​

・Rest during a consolidation market; don’t gamble on luck​

・A sharp drop is a signal of opportunity; pick up stocks when in panic

I often use the MACD continuous divergence trading strategy, doubling annually isn’t hard, the core is discipline plus data:

1. Adjust parameters to 13 and 34 for more accurate signals​

2. When the price hits a new high/low, but MACD doesn’t follow​

3. Top divergence (price rises with weak momentum) is bearish, bottom divergence (price falls with strong momentum) is bullish​

4. Use the 13-period ATR to assist with stop-loss; widen the range during high volatility​

5. Enter on the left side + confirm on the right side; only go heavy when all four signals align

Now I watch the market for no more than three hours a day, go fishing in the afternoon, play football with my kids, and can remain calm to add positions during a sharp drop. The meaning of trading has never been to get rich quick, but to gain freedom — not being tied down by K lines and being able to control my own time.

If you are still wandering aimlessly in the cryptocurrency world, why not spend two hours a day practicing systems, controlling emotions, and managing positions? Don’t think about getting rich overnight; that often precedes a crash. The market is always there, the account cannot die; as long as you don’t leave the market, turning the tables is just a matter of time.
