Two years ago, she was a novice in digital asset trading, with only 1,500 USDT in her pocket, constantly pestering me to introduce her to the market. During these 730 days, she didn't catch any earth-shattering super trends, but relied on a seemingly "silly" method—stability, repetition, and not being greedy—to grow her account from zero to 900,000. #密码资产动态追踪 $ETH $BTC are all in her portfolio.
Today, I summarize my observations and reflections over these two years into 6 actionable trading rules.
**Rule 1: Rapid rise paired with slow decline is usually the main force accumulating.** After a quick surge, if the price moves down slowly, it's likely a shakeout. Don't rush to cut losses and escape; the true top signals are often brutal—sudden large spikes followed by sharp drops, trapping the latecomers. Stay calm and avoid temptation.
**Rule 2: Rapid decline paired with slow recovery may indicate the main force quietly reducing positions.** A slow rebound after a flash crash doesn't mean you've found a bargain. It could be the final blow. Never fall into the mindset of "it's fallen so much, what else can happen?" Be cautious—there might really be no bottom.
**Rule 3: Volume at the top isn't necessarily the end; lack of volume can be a warning.** High volume at a high level suggests the market might push higher again; but if volume suddenly dries up, be alert—this often signals an impending collapse.
**Rule 4: Don't rush in during bottom volume spikes; sustained volume increases are the real opportunity.** A single volume spike is often the market maker "luring" retail investors. If volume continues to rise over several days with oscillations, and the market digests the moves, that's the true window for building positions.
**Rule 5: The essence of the crypto market is a battle of human nature; trading volume is a mirror of psychology.** Candlestick charts are just surface indicators; the key to understanding the market lies in volume. Weak volume indicates no one is willing to buy; surging volume means funds are entering.
**Rule 6: "Nothingness" is the ultimate skill.** Let go of obsessions, rest when needed, act decisively when opportunities arise, but avoid greed. Stay clear-headed and calm—that's the secret to longevity in the crypto space.
These six rules aren't complicated; many people get wrecked by overtrading. My experience is that slowing down actually makes you faster—steadily executing each trade without haste or impatience, and letting time do the work, will bring rewards naturally.

Honestly, turning 1500 into 900,000 is really impressive, but what I admire most is that saying "Slow down, and you'll go faster"... I've heard it countless times but always find it hard to do, thinking this time will be different haha

900,000 starting from 1,500, this pace... such intense self-discipline, most people really can't do it.

900,000? No kidding, how strong must one's mental resilience be to handle that? Just thinking about it makes me break out in a cold sweat.
I haven't really thought deeply about the volume aspect before; next time, I need to keep a close eye on it.
That's right, greed kills people. I have this problem and haven't fixed it yet.
Staying steady for 730 days over two years? I can't do that, respect.
Rule six is the most heartbreaking; letting go of attachments is easy to say but really hard to do.

Damn, from 1,500 to 900,000? This pace is quite something, really tests human nature.
Really, most people get killed by frequent trading; I've also fallen into this trap myself.
She summarized the trading volume part perfectly; many people just can't understand the logic behind the volume.
Rule Six's "Wu" character is quite Zen-like, but it really makes sense.
However, I still tend to get anxious; when I see a drop, I want to cut, it's really hard to endure that process.

1. From 1,500 to 900,000, how much patience does that require? I usually go bankrupt in half a month.
2. Rule six is brilliant. Basically, don't fucking move randomly, but I can't do it.
3. The saying "Volume is a mirror of psychology"... really hits home. If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have so many unnecessary trades.
4. Stable repetition without greed sounds easy, but how many can actually stick to it for 2 years?
5. I already knew that sharp rises and slow declines attract capital. The problem is, I can never tell if it's attracting or escaping the top.
6. Large volume on a single order to lure retail investors. Haha, I'm that retail investor being lured.
7. This logic is actually just don't be greedy or impatient. To put it simply, that's what it's all about.
8. 900,000 is not bad, but starting from 1,500, this base really amplifies psychological expectations.
9. I understand the trick of volume but still can't understand myself. That's probably the hardest part of trading.
10. Wait for volume to increase at the bottom for several consecutive days. How many days count as "consecutive"... 3 days or 7 days?

This 900,000 sounds great, but honestly, it all comes down to "not moving." Really, many people just can't do it.

Listen, I've seen this routine too many times; the key is to endure. But going from 1,500 to 900,000 is indeed impressive. I wonder if she really caught that wave of the market.

The data shows that the number 900,000 seems a bit inflated. Let's wait and see how things develop.
Although, the part about the trading volume drying up is quite accurate; historical lows often collapse like this.
Can a stable profit be maintained under an unreasonable mechanism using this method? Patterns are observed, but there's always a feeling that it will eventually collapse.
When looking at hourly fluctuations, Rule Two's knife really can't defend against it; there might not even be a bottom.
Patient is key. I'm just worried that miners will eat up too many fees, and all the profits will be gone. Let's wait a bit longer.
