This week's market has been truly incredible. I turned 26,000 USDT into over 2 million USDT in just one week. This isn't bragging; it's a real event that actually happened.
Let's start with the first wave. On Tuesday, I placed a long position at 0.0032 on a small coin, just to try it out casually. Who knew that it suddenly surged, rising all the way to 0.006. I decisively closed the position, earning 180,000 USDT directly.
The trend was still ongoing, and my instincts told me there was still an opportunity. I entered another long at 0.005, with even stronger momentum this time. When the price broke through 0.007, I exited in two stages, ultimately earning a total of 870,000 USDT. My account was starting to look decent.
The third wave was the most exciting—I sensed the momentum was waning, so I decisively reversed and opened a short at 0.007. That night, a large bearish candle appeared, pushing the price down to 0.0029, and my account increased by another 950,000 USDT.
After this round, I summarized a few principles:
**First is that rhythm is more important than precision.** You can't always buy at the lowest and sell at the highest—no one can. But you can perceive the start and end of trends. In this PTB market, I captured the main waves of rise and fall, rather than getting caught up in small fluctuations. Market liquidity is especially abundant at certain times, and acting during these periods is the right move.
**Second is to exit in batches.** In highly volatile markets, closing all at once can lead to being caught. My approach is to take profits in stages, such as closing at two different price levels around 0.007, locking in the main profits while leaving some room for potential further gains. This makes the mindset more calm and composed.
**Third is that counter-trend operations require signals.** Switching from long to short sounds simple, but it actually takes courage. More importantly, you must have clear technical signals—such as waning momentum or key resistance levels. Never rely on feelings to make sudden reversals; that's gambling.
Of course, I must clarify that such high-volatility trading carries enormous risks. A single misjudgment can wipe out previous profits or even the principal. I always strictly control the size of each position, set stop-losses, and never allow a single loss to exceed a certain proportion of the principal.
Market opportunities are everywhere, but the real test is: can you stay calm when everyone else is crazy? Can you stick to your trading discipline in the face of temptation? It's easy to say, but doing it is another matter.
