In the last bull market wave, I successfully accumulated 42 million in wealth. Next, let me share my unique journey of striking gold in the digital currency field.
As a woman born in the 90s, I embarked on my career path in Shenzhen after completing my studies in 2012 and officially entered the crypto space in early 2016. Now, in Guangzhou, I own two properties and two vehicles, and a monthly expense of 100,000 is easily manageable for me, while most of my assets are safely lying in exchanges, steadily growing.
Trading, a seemingly glamorous job, is in reality filled with endless monotony. After years of experience, I have long surpassed the stage of being emotionally stirred by market fluctuations; what remains is a sense of composure and calm.
Regarding my daily life:
Staying up late? This is just part of our daily rhythm, not a burden. Although outsiders often equate us with 'night owls,' I always maintain my standard of beauty, after all, one's image is also part of one's strength.
Carefree? Perhaps outsiders mistakenly think we are immersed in a world of luxury all day long, but that’s not the case. More often than not, I am simply dealing with life. Even when I occasionally travel, I find it hard to fully relax. Anxiety follows me, reminding me not to slack off, as countless people’s trust and expectations rest upon my shoulders. This trust is both motivation and a heavy responsibility. My life is not filled with banquets, but is instead focused on market dynamics, analyzing information, and constantly reflecting and summarizing.
Pressure? From initial coping to now bearing it, I have learned to dance with pressure. Why do I always keep an eye on the market? Because contract trading emphasizes timing; every suitable entry point is crucial. At the same time, I must continuously respond to questions from various parties, even if this takes up a lot of my time, I enjoy it.
My trading philosophy, in brief:
1. Abandon subjective conjecture and closely follow the pulse of market sentiment.
2. Stop-loss levels are both the market's judgment and the bottom line of my ability to bear losses.
3. Stick to your opinions; if wrong, be brave enough to bear the consequences.
4. Trading is not a contest of speed and passion, but a game of endurance and wisdom.
May every friend who reads this article win against their own humanity, because the essence of trading is a profound dialogue with oneself.
Looking back at the past, I feel proud that I have always maintained clarity and resilience.
In the crypto space, there are often large rises and falls. Can one buy during a sharp drop and sell when it rises again?
Absolutely, you are simply too clever; you have found the right way to approach the crypto space. Just like Zhao Changpeng said, if you can't buy lower, you will never be able to sell higher. People cannot escape the concepts of cost and investment; high costs symbolize bad luck. Only by holding positions below the market's average cost can one stabilize their mindset and have the opportunity to obtain higher returns. This is especially important for newcomers entering the market.
Waiting blindly for a market crash is fundamentally a scalp operation on contracts. The reason for its high win rate is that it happens during a rising bull market, in the big picture, you are essentially buying at a deep retracement + panic low. Not to mention, at such times, just catching a wave of rebound can yield a basic profit of 30-50%. As for whether you want to double or tenfold your investment, that’s a matter for later; regardless of how much you earn later, the point is you’ve already made a profit. Once you’ve made a profit, you won’t panic, and when you aren’t panicking, you can hold on tight. Everything is interconnected.
1. Blindly waiting for a crash: This sentence seems simple, but it’s actually very difficult to implement. On one hand, during an uptrend, it’s hard to resist FOMO and chase prices; on the other hand, during a crash, panic prevents you from taking action, thinking it will drop even lower or even cut losses.
My advice is: when you just enter the market, keep your money still! This is absolutely the safest approach. Enter when the market undergoes a significant pullback; specifically, you can refer to Bitcoin's 20% pullback and altcoins’ pullbacks greater than 40%.
At this moment, it’s a position where you can go all in, but to ensure you can definitely make money without losing balance, I suggest going all in twice, because it’s difficult to hit the lowest point in a crash all at once. If it drops again, buy again. Don’t be afraid of missing out; there will definitely be at least two such opportunities in a bull market. Just seize one, buy it and wait for it to double before considering selling. If sold, just stop playing (never be greedy, and don’t use leverage; normal investing is enough, earn once and run; the risk factor increases as you move to the later stages).
This is the method that 90% of new entrants can use to make money at this stage. What if you can’t wait? If you can’t wait, that’s your fate, but the probability is very low; I believe it’s even less than 10%.
Moreover, the most important thing is that the coins you buy must have value. Do not blindly apply methods; methodologies are very low-dimensional because the premise conditions differ. For example, when the panic low was reached on the 20th, I firmly called for bottom-fishing mainstream altcoins; currently, there’s a profit of 20-30%. If you are a newcomer and are too afraid to bottom fish at this moment, those who dared to bottom fish have already made a profit; you haven’t even broken even. Of course, the altcoins we laid out in August have multiplied many times over; you can refer to previous articles.
I believe that newcomers entering the market can physically feel that even in a bull market, it doesn’t necessarily mean you can make money; this is not an exaggeration. Let’s calculate the total after the bull market ends; the rest will be left to time. Only when the tide recedes will you know who is swimming naked.
As a newcomer in the crypto space, if you spend a few days seriously reading all my articles (not many yet), in a sense, you can no longer be considered a novice. You will definitely surpass two-thirds of the people in this market, at worst, you can avoid stepping into many pitfalls because I have already paid enough tuition in areas you cannot see, so don’t pay again.
Pain is always the highest form of understanding this world. My tuition is above yours, my pain is above yours, and it is very likely that my understanding is also above yours. Learn from those who have results, and avoid unnecessary detours.
These 6 practical iron rules: understanding one can prevent you from losing a house in a bear market; accomplishing three means you can already shake off 95% of the retail investors.
First rule: The longer the sideways trend, the more violent the breakout, but keep a close eye on the 'breakthrough point.'
Don’t think that sideways trading is dead water; that’s just the bulls and bears wrestling. Cryptocurrencies that have been in a sideways trend for more than 30 days, once they break out above the upper boundary of the box with volume, often can extend more than 30%; but if they break below the lower boundary without volume, run quickly; that’s the main force secretly smashing the price.
Second rule: A sharp rise with a long upper shadow is not an opportunity but a trap.
A large bullish candle suddenly shoots up, but the tail is very long; this does not mean it’s about to take off; it’s the main force dumping goods from a height. If this 'shooting star' appears more than three times, no matter how it bounces afterwards, it’s all a trap; going in is just picking up the bill.
Third rule: 'Red Three Soldiers' during a downtrend are mostly a flash in the pan.
Three consecutive small bullish candles may look like a rebound? Don't be foolish; in a bear market, this is mostly the main force creating a 'false rebound' to trick you into buying. The real bottom must show 'short green columns + reduced volume doji,' which is the signal that it has fallen through.
Fourth rule: When trading volume suddenly increases by more than 10 times, regardless of whether prices rise or fall, you must be cautious.
On a normal day, trading tens of millions, but suddenly one day it spikes to several hundred million; this is not the arrival of an opportunity but the major player 'matching orders.' Either they want to drive the price up to sell, or they are creating panic to accumulate. During such times, observe more and act less, wait until it's all settled before taking action.
Fifth rule: Trading cryptocurrencies is not about guessing price movements, it’s about calculating 'risk-reward ratios.'
Don’t always think about buying at the lowest and selling at the highest; that’s something only deities can do. Before placing an order, calculate clearly: if wrong, what is the maximum loss; if right, how much can be earned. Trades with a ratio lower than 3:1 are better left undone; over time, you will find that minimizing losses is equivalent to making profits.
Sixth rule: 'Waiting' is the highest level in the crypto space.
Wait for the trend to become clear before taking action, wait for signal confirmation before entering the market, and be greedy when others are fearful. 90% of losses stem from 'inability to resist'; it's not that opportunities are scarce, it's that you are too impatient. Those who can control their hands have long since made their money.
The crypto space has never lacked stories of getting rich overnight, but those who survive are the ones who understand the rhythm. It’s not that you have bad luck; it’s that you keep doing the wrong things at the wrong time. I’ve been in this circle for ten years and have seen too many people go to zero overnight, and too many who slowly became rich through hard work.
What you lack is not skill, but a systematic approach:
Three years of losing assets turned around because of this; office workers achieved freelance careers through it.
This system is the core weapon I crafted after losing 120,000 USDT—driven purely by logic, restrained by strong discipline, and equipped with automatic signals for reminders, completely eliminating emotional interference in operations.
Remember three core principles:
Do not predict turning points, just follow the trend.
Don’t be greedy for the whole segment, only earn within a certain range.
Do not look at market sentiment, only trust data signals.
Core strategy breakdown, the key lies in these three points:
1. Prioritize taking profits, determine direction using three data points.
Lock in your profit target before opening a position, and make decisions based on three sets of hard data:
Liquidation distribution map: Identify critical points for long and short (when one direction's liquidation volume exceeds 60%, the opposite signal is strengthened).
Long-short position ratio: capture the tilt of main funds (when deviating from the mean by 3 standard deviations, trigger follow signals).
Order density: filter out false bullish/bearish traps (when effective trading orders account for less than 30%, abandon the entry).
2. Only follow the trend, avoid fluctuation traps.
Absolutely avoid trading in the market's fluctuation induced by the main force; only seize two types of high-certainty opportunities:
The main upward wave starts within one hour (breaking resistance + volume increases by more than three times).
Deep V retracement second confirmation (retesting the neck line without breaking + bottom divergence signal).
Enter decisively when there is a signal; remain completely in cash without a signal.
3. Allocate only one-third of your position to leave room for market fluctuations.
Divide single positions into three layers, combining offense and defense:
Main position 70%: enter the first batch after confirming the trend to build up profits.
Secondary positions 20%: add when the trend accelerates, amplify profits.
Safety position 10%: to respond to black swan events, allowing for counter operations during sudden market changes.
Fully automated alerts; tools are more reliable than people.
The script monitors four key indicators in real time, and alerts automatically when standards are met:
Concentration of liquidation points, long-short liquidation volume ratio.
Leverage funding density, deviation of funding rates.
Reduce the reaction delay from 15 minutes to 30 seconds for manual monitoring, ensuring no signals are missed.
Evidence that using it brings profit to everyone:
An old veteran who lost for three years used 1,200 USDT to operate according to the system and rolled it to 9,400 USDT.
Zero-experience newcomers can earn 8% daily through signals, claiming 'it’s 10 times more reliable than guessing market trends.'
Ordinary office workers can resign after stabilizing profits with a system and focus entirely on trading.
The core of trading is not how smart you are, but whether you have systematic tools. Those who operate based on feelings will eventually be harvested by the market—while those who use systems to lock in certainty are continuously earning profits.
Crypto space stable profit guide: 10 core strategies to control market rhythm.
Last May, a fan saw a certain mainstream coin drop 15% in the early hours and quickly asked me if he should cut losses. I told him to open the 4-hour chart and noticed that it had just dropped to the previous support level; I immediately told him to add 20% to his position. At noon, the coin price rebounded by 8%, and I watched him reduce half of it, recovering losses on the same day. Remember: Don’t panic during sharp declines, and don’t be greedy during sharp rises; what hides in the volatility is not risk, but opportunity.
When seeing a significant drop in coin prices, there’s no need to panic; this could be a good opportunity to enter. However, when coin prices rise sharply, be wary of possible retracements and reduce your holdings at the right time. Grasping market fluctuations is key to achieving stable profits.
1. Volatility response: Don't panic during sharp declines, and don't be greedy during sharp rises.
When cryptocurrency prices drop significantly and touch previous support levels, it can be a good opportunity to add to your position; during rapid increases, be wary of retracements and appropriately reduce your position to take profits. For example, if a mainstream cryptocurrency drops 15% to a support level in the early hours, after adding to your position, you can reduce your holdings after an 8% rebound at noon, thus recovering losses within the day. What hides in the volatility is not risk, but opportunity.
2. Fund allocation: rationally distribute positions and leave enough liquidity.
Avoid betting all your funds on a single cryptocurrency; it’s advisable to allocate 50% to mainstream coins (to stabilize your base), 30% to potential coins (to seek profits), and keep 20% in cash as a reserve (to mitigate risk). There have been novices who used their reserve funds to add to mainstream coins during a major drop, and after rebounding, not only did they recover their losses but also earned an additional 30,000 USDT.
3. Afternoon operations: be cautious chasing highs and patiently bottom-fish.
Afternoon market trends are prone to false increases; wait until after 3 PM when the trend stabilizes to chase upwards; during sharp declines, don’t rush in to catch the bottom. There have been instances where people waited two hours to confirm a stop in decline, and their entry point was 7 points lower than blindly trying to catch the bottom.
4. Emotion management: Stay calm and refuse chaotic operations.
Morning volatility is usually emotional trading; there's no need to panic. During sideways markets, it’s advisable to 'turn off' to avoid impulsive trading. One older sister insisted on not looking at the market before 9 AM, and as a result, she lost 30% less than those who monitored the market daily.
5. Trend judgment: Stay still when unclear, and follow the trend when it is clear.
When the trend is unclear, doing nothing is the best operation. If the cryptocurrency price has not broken through previous highs, its rise may be a trap; if it hasn’t broken previous lows, its drop may also be a trap. There have been fans who refrained from buying because a coin hadn’t stood above the 5-day line, avoiding a subsequent 20% decline.
6. Yin and Yang line usage: buy on bearish candles, sell on bullish candles.
Bearish candles represent a 'discount' in the market, you can buy on opportunity; bullish candles indicate a time to take profits and can be sold appropriately. One young woman adhered to this strategy, making a steady profit of 25% within six months in a volatile market.
7. Counter-trend thinking: Seek opportunities in extreme market conditions, not always applicable.
Counter-trend does not mean stubborn resistance, but finding opportunities in extreme market conditions. For example, if the market drops 30% and the fear index reaches a historical low, you can moderately increase your position and take profits after a rebound. But be mindful, counter-trend timing should not involve frequent operations.
8. Be patient: Good opportunities are cultivated through waiting.
Frequent switching of coins will only increase transaction costs; it’s better to patiently wait for key opportunities. There have been cases where someone studied a certain public chain coin for two months and entered the market only when it retraced to a key level, holding it for three months, resulting in a threefold profit. The crypto space does not lack opportunities; what it lacks is the composure to wait.
9. High-level risk: Be wary of 'false breakouts' after a sideways trend.
If there is a sudden increase after a period of sideways trading, and the trading volume is insufficient, it may be a 'false breakout.' At this time, you can first reduce your position by 50% to secure profits, and consider entering the market again after the volume stabilizes for 30 minutes.
10. Pattern alert: Be wary of the hammer cross.
The hammer cross often indicates market turning points. Historical data shows that 80% of similar patterns will retrace. When encountering this, do not go all in; instead, reduce your position to control risk. There have been novices who operated based on this and avoided a 12% drop and liquidation risk.
The core of these 10 strategies is to let yourself control the rhythm, rather than being swayed by the market. Last year, 50 fans who fully grasped these strategies made at least a 30% profit, while those always looking for 'exceptions' mostly remain on the road to recovering their losses. The key to profitability in the crypto space lies in self-control and keeping the heart steady, repeatedly doing the simple things.
In this field, wanting to achieve financial freedom hinges on two core factors: first, the scale of your initial capital; second, your specific monetary definition of 'financial freedom.'
If the principal is in the range of 10,000 to 30,000, a single bull market can yield 5 times returns, and if exceptionally lucky, it may even reach 10 times. But even if you are fortunate enough, after one round, you can at most reach 500,000, and with less luck, you may only earn 50,000. Clearly, with such a principal scale, it often requires experiencing two bull markets to reach the threshold of financial freedom.
If the principal is between 200,000 and 300,000, the situation changes. In the same bull market, conservatively estimating it can reach 1 million, and if lucky, even exceed 5 million. Most people who want to achieve financial freedom are actually in this principal range.
It can be seen that it is indeed not easy for ordinary people to achieve financial freedom in this field. With a small principal, you must endure two bull markets; with a slightly larger principal, perhaps one round can achieve the goal.
Of course, there are a few top traders who can profit regardless of whether it’s a bull or bear market—they make money by capturing market fluctuations and have their own mature trading systems, gradually accumulating wealth step by step.
Ultimately, financial freedom is not that easy; it must be considered from three dimensions: personal ability, time, and capital. If both ability and capital are lacking, one can only rely on extending time to compensate; if time is of the essence, then one must rely on both capital and ability.
In fact, achieving financial freedom in any industry is never easy; it’s just that this field has more opportunities and greater volatility, giving people more room for imagination.
