Eight years, the account grew from 190,000 to 20 million—this is not a luck story, nor insider information, but a set of rules gained through a method and four blood, sweat, and tears.

I still remember those days four years ago in the urban village, a 6-square-meter room, losing sleep every 15th when I saw the rent reminder text, hesitating over a 15-yuan fast food meal. Now, I’ve turned the corner, holding keys to two houses, and the account balance is steady there. The change isn’t huge, but enough to change my fate.

How did all this come about? I summarized four rules, each learned with real money.

**Rule 1: Distinguish between Washout and Top Formation**

Rapid rise followed by slow decline is usually a washout, and there’s still a chance below. But if there’s a volume surge followed by a sudden crash, it’s basically a top. I remember ETC once surged 30% in a single day, I left without hesitation, and later it fell 40%. That escape was crucial.

**Rule 2: Exit when "Silent Volume Shrinkage" occurs at a high level**

If volume is still high at a high level, it indicates ongoing betting, possibly with follow-up. But if the high level suddenly becomes very quiet, with volume completely shrinking, it’s funds quietly withdrawing. I once ignored this signal and lost 30,000 in a week. Since then, this pattern has been etched in my mind.

**Rule 3: True bottom signals are continuous bullish volume after a sharp decline**

A quick drop followed by slow rise is often a trap for more gains—don’t be fooled. After consolidation with low volume, a sudden series of bullish candles with increasing volume is a real bottom signal. Last year, BTC showed this pattern, I entered, and in half a year, it tripled.

**Rule 4: The core principle is to value volume and keep a calm mindset**

Candlestick charts are just appearances; only volume reveals the true attitude of funds. The core logic is: don’t chase highs, don’t panic, don’t hold zero positions, don’t be fully invested, always keep bullets, and only act when the certainty is highest.

If you’re still panicking every time prices go up or down, hesitating before taking profits or cutting losses, it’s not the market’s problem, but that you haven’t found the right method. The people who truly survive in the crypto world don’t rely on overnight riches, but on methods, discipline, and repeatability. What I want to teach is exactly this—how to stay alive steadily in the crypto circle, and then steadily make money.
