#密码资产动态追踪 Coming from a small town in Fujian to Shanghai to hustle, I have experienced liquidation and debt in my 6-year crypto journey, gradually growing from less than 1500 USD of capital to where I am now. Looking back at 36 years old, my deepest realization is: the crypto market has never had divine predictions, only solid experience accumulation. Those seemingly cumbersome trading methods are actually the most stable. In the past 5 months, using this approach, I have profited over 10 million, with $VRA just one of the opportunities I caught.

Now I own property in Shanghai—a 180-square-meter riverside apartment, with both time and mindset freed. These 6 years have taught me a truth: the real masters in the crypto world are not the ones who rush in the fastest, but those who can hold and endure.

Here are 7 trading insights gained from paying tuition with real money. Don’t underestimate them—understanding just one can reduce losses by over 300,000 USD; grasping three can make you surpass 90% of retail investors:

1. Don’t just watch the price; ignoring volume = not truly getting started. Volume is the market’s heartbeat. Understanding it means you’ve grasped the fundamentals.

2. Don’t panic when the price surges and then slowly pulls back; it’s usually the market makers absorbing positions. The real danger signal is a surge in volume combined with a large bearish candle—that’s the main force’s "bait-and-switch" tactic. Those rushing to exit are most likely to get caught.

3. Don’t rush to buy the dip after a sharp decline; that’s often the final phase of the main force’s distribution. The market loves to punish those who think "it can’t fall further."

4. Rising volume doesn’t necessarily mean a top; shrinking volume is more dangerous. Active trading during a rally indicates market heat; a quiet market is a prelude to a crash.

5. Don’t rush in after volume hits bottom; a single day of high volume doesn’t mean the true bottom. A genuine reversal depends on whether consolidation can continue—slowing down helps clarify the future direction.

6. Crypto trading is fundamentally about manipulating sentiment; volume reflects market consensus, while price is just emotional expression. Understanding volume’s meaning is like syncing with the market’s rhythm.

7. The most difficult level of trading is summarized in one word—"nothing." No greed, no fear, no impatience. Being able to wait calmly and act decisively when opportunities arise is the highest realm.

Winners in the crypto market are never those who react the fastest, but those who can stay steady and wait. Stick to this logic, and the market will reward you.

1. Starting with 1500U is really possible, you just need to endure those days when your mindset is exploding. 2. The concept of trading volume is correct, but in practice, it's still easy to be driven by emotions. 3. The river-view large flat is real, but the story is a bit too perfect, isn't it? 4. The "Wu" (nothing) method in item 7 sounds sophisticated, but it's actually just stop-loss and self-control, to put it plainly. 5. Those retail investors don't lack understanding of trading volume; even if they understand, they don't have the courage to follow the routine. 6. A profit of 10 million is not particularly outrageous proportionally, it's just that the sample size is too small to say much. 7. Bottom-fishing is the easiest to get caught, every time thinking this time is the real bottom haha. 8. Anyway, I understand it, but my account still fluctuates with my mindset, that's the gap. 9. Traveling from Fujian to Shanghai for six years, this experience itself is more valuable than trading skills. 10. Trading volume is indeed easy to overlook; most people only look at the K-line chart to tell stories.

1500U holding out for a river view apartment, this script is indeed a bit outrageous... but I believe in the volume pattern, this is truly the easiest to overlook --- Honestly, patience is still key. Watching how many "bottom-fishing experts" go all-in and then get cut, retail investors' biggest enemy is their own restless heart --- The seventh "Wu" strategy sounds a bit Zen, but it really hits the point—most people fail because of greed and impatience --- Wait, 6 years from 1500U to 10 million? ...Why do I feel like something is missing in this story—maybe a bit of luck? --- Regarding trading volume, most people only look at candlestick charts and completely ignore the order book. No wonder they get played by the big players --- The river view luxury flat is hilarious. The goal is set, but honestly, for this logic to make money, all the timing, location, and people factors must align perfectly—not everyone can replicate it --- The slow climb is the hardest part; mental resilience must be strong. Otherwise, watching others surge while you cower at the bottom, anxiety can be deadly

You're right, waiting until 1500U for a river-view property is truly a skill. I've also figured out the importance of trading volume; I used to stubbornly focus on K-line charts and ended up losing a trade, but now I'm making more stable profits. That second "bait and switch" trick really tricked me before, and now I instinctively stop whenever I see volume-price divergence. Truly, patience is more valuable than anything, but unfortunately most people can't endure beyond the second year.

That's right, trading volume is indeed a threshold... But after holding on for 1500U until now, I still have some doubts. It's a bit like motivational chicken soup; truly profitable people usually don't share their strategies in such detail. Point seven makes the most sense—greed and fear are the two knives that kill accounts. However, this set of theories works well in a bear market; in a bull market, it's a different story.

Really, I’ve also fallen into traps with trading volume before. Now I understand how many detours I could have avoided. It’s that same rhetoric of "stability is victory," but I have to say, it really hits the point. Holding for 1500U until now... that kind of perseverance isn’t something everyone has. I, for one, don’t have such a tough mindset. I agree with holding steady and enduring for the long term. Most people just get stuck because they can’t wait. That word "nothing" is quite interesting; there probably aren’t many who can truly achieve it. Damn, that Jiangjing large flat is a tempting goal haha. Trading volume is indeed an underestimated dimension. Many people only look at price trends and really waste their entry. Wait, among his 7 points, is shrinking volume actually more dangerous? I need to think this logic through carefully. This bait-and-switch routine, I think it’s already been played out. Who still falls for that? Not being greedy, not fearing, not rushing—easy to say, but doing it is hell.

1500U so far, the logic makes sense, but most people simply can't hold on until the second year. Waiting for the next wave of bankruptcies, and some will experience the second one. VRA indeed surged during the volume explosion, but lucky to have bottomed out... Speaking of which, six years is really too long, I've only been in for two years and I'm about to go crazy. Understanding the volume trading strategy can indeed avoid half of the rookie traps, but on the other hand, how many people can truly be indifferent and unselfish? Hey, is this river-view flat or just a story? But the logic does hold up. It looks very convincing, but I will still get caught in the second trap—that's fate. I think the seventh rule is the most虚, while the third rule is actually the easiest to make money from, greed is everywhere.

here's the thing about these "7 rules" posts... they always hit different when someone's actually made life-changing money lol. volume > price, got it—but also like, intuitively speaking, isn't this just survivorship bias wrapped in trading wisdom? the people who didn't make it didn't get to write Medium essays about patience, you know?
