You focus on opening a position when the MACD golden cross occurs, but the main players are calculating your stop-loss level in the background; the cryptocurrency market is far from a place where one can win just based on candlesticks.

Three months ago, my account had only 287 USDT, and now I have stable daily returns in the three-digit range.

I used to be obsessed with technology; last winter, I stayed up late monitoring the market with the "Quantitative Trading Bible," resulting in a loss of half a year's salary in a month, and it wasn't until my account was liquidated that I realized.

Retail investors studying technical indicators are like gamblers studying the patterns on dice; the house controls the rhythm of the dice roll.

The turning point came in March. I turned off my analysis software and stared at the intraday chart of a mainstream coin all day, discovering that before a crash, there would always be unusually large orders placed at low levels, luring retail investors to cut losses before quickly buying up.

With this insight, I traded with 3000 USDT and rolled it up to 50,000 USDT in 28 days. At one point, when Bitcoin retraced to 38,000, I entered the market and tripled my returns in three hours.

Last week, a fan named Xiao Zhao came to me for help. His account had 2300 USDT left, and he owed three credit cards.

He spent 80,000 learning the "Bollinger Band Breakout Strategy," but had lost from 200,000 to now, with family conflicts arising constantly.

"Bro, do you think your capital control logic is more reliable than MACD?" he asked, his voice tinged with tears.

I didn’t answer directly; instead, I told him to watch the 4-hour chart of ETH. In the afternoon, a pile of 1000 contracts sell orders appeared suddenly, and the candlestick looked like it was about to break the support level. He hurriedly asked if he should stop loss.

"Wait, look at the hidden buy orders."

I reminded him. Half an hour later, the sell orders were withdrawn, and the price shot up, which was the main player's trap to lure short sellers.

Following my instructions, Xiao Zhao made two trades: first, he bought the dip on SOL and earned 3000 USDT, and then he profited within the oscillation range of ADA.

Last week he messaged me: "I've paid off my credit cards, and I can finally sleep soundly."

In the cryptocurrency market, many people treat technical indicators as a lifeline, but in reality, the price movements are "designed" by the main players.

I never teach people to predict the market; I only teach them to understand the actions of the main players—where to accumulate, where to distribute, and where the traps for bullish bait are.

A newbie asked me: "Can I definitely make money by following you?"

I honestly replied: "No, but it can help you learn to control losses, allowing each trade to have logic rather than relying on luck."

Nowadays, I often receive good news from people like Xiao Zhao. I remember how it would have been great if someone had helped me when I was liquidated.

If your account is in the red and your credit cards are pressing you for payment, perhaps you should consider: are you studying the real candlesticks or what the main players want you to see? Change your perspective, and the opportunity might be right in front of you.
