Cryptocurrency Journey
I. The Lonely Practice of a Trader
The morning sunlight filters through the curtain gaps and falls on the computer screen. I wake up at 8:30 as usual. After a quick wash, the first thing I do is not eat breakfast, but open TradingView to check the overnight market. This lifestyle has lasted for three years and four months, from initial excitement to the current calm.
In my studio, there are three screens:
The left screen displays the 4-hour candlestick chart for BTC/ETH
The middle screen shows the ranking of the top 20 mainstream coins by their price fluctuations
The right screen runs Nansen's on-chain data monitoring
This setup is not for showing off skills, but to catch those fleeting opportunities in the rapidly changing market at the first moment. Many people envy the freedom of professional traders, but they do not know how much discipline is required to maintain that freedom.
II. The Art of Waiting: The Entry Rules Learned Over Three Years
1. Three key factors for trend confirmation:
Weekly EMA20 direction (determines the bullish or bearish tone)
Daily volume breakthrough (confirms capital entry)
4-hour MACD divergence (finds the best entry point)
2. Three types of market conditions to absolutely avoid:
Fluctuations during significant policy vacuum periods
When exchange reserves experience abnormal volatility
When feeling emotionally low or physically unwell
3. My classic entry example:
On March 12, 2024, I observed:
BTC weekly EMA20 starting to turn upwards
Coinbase showing consecutive large buy orders
On-chain whale addresses stopping outflows
Opened the first position at 42500, ultimately capturing the complete wave to 58000
III. Emotional Firewall
Meditate for 10 minutes before daily trading
Set a mandatory break alarm (every 2 hours)
Stop trading for the day if losses reach 5%
Every Sunday is my "Digital Fasting Day"
Completely stay away from trading software
Organize paper trading notes
Only record profits and losses
Go for long-distance walks
Although it reduces ineffective social interactions, I maintain at least one deep communication with the real world each week.
The longer I stay in this industry, the more I understand the essence of trading is:
"Restraining human nature with rules, accumulating wealth over time, and exchanging loneliness for freedom."
