When I saw the account increase by 210,000, I stared blankly at the screen.

Eight years in the cryptocurrency world, my wallet is full, my hair is sparse, but my heart beats a little slower.

350,000 USD brings me back to 2016, entering with 5000U, enduring 1460 days with clumsy methods to reach 1,200,000 U: treating trading like a monster fight, considering liquidation as a revival coin, recording daily, reviewing, and controlling my hands.

Six lessons: understanding one can save you 100,000, mastering three can outperform 90% of retail investors.

Price increases like climbing stairs, price drops like sliding down a slope.

Don’t panic and cut losses on sharp declines without volume — it could be the operator squatting to build strength; a dangerous situation arises from a sharp rise followed by reduced volume and sideways movement, with a real top accompanied by a waterfall of volume — that’s a sickle signal.

Don’t catch the bottom in a sharp decline with a slow bounce; the operator is smashing down while withdrawing.

Don’t believe in “it has dropped enough”; the bottom of the cryptocurrency world is a cellar beneath an eighteen-layer abyss.

Increased volume is not necessarily a top; lack of volume at high positions is terrifying. Like KTV suddenly going silent, the next moment must be the sound of glasses breaking — low-volume increases are mostly the operator misleading into buying.

A single volume increase may mislead into buying; volume increase after continuous low volume is the signal for building positions.

Operators build positions in three steps: reducing volume to test patience, increasing volume to test the market, and reducing volume for a pullback.

Don’t stare at K-lines guessing price movements; that’s a chart drawn by the operator. When volume shrinks to the extreme, it’s a ghost town, and explosive volume is like sharks smelling blood.

No obsession: dare to turn off the screen during a big rise, not being bound by numbers.

No greed: pinch your thigh before chasing highs, impulsively putting it back in your pocket.

No fear: count your heartbeat during sharp declines, only operate after going below 120.

This is not a Zen state; it’s an instinct born from the edge of liquidation.

The cryptocurrency world lacks opportunities, but patience in waiting for them is scarce. I keep the screen dimly lit, pointing the way with fewer pitfalls for seekers — discipline is either a shackle or a climbing stick, it’s up to you to choose. @仓位管理师
