How much U do you need to earn before you'll come back?

In three years of entering the circle, I slowly grew my 10,000 U to 670,000 U.

There’s no insider information, and I didn’t catch any legendary market moves. It’s actually just a set of "somewhat" simple strategies, but I kept using them repeatedly.

1095 days of persistence: treat trading as cultivation, not a quick doubling gamble.

The following 6 points are insights gained from real losses and gains. Mastering one can save you a lot of tuition fees; doing half of that already makes you more stable than most retail investors.

**Rapid rises and slow declines are mostly shakeouts.** Not distribution. The true top is often marked by large volume followed by one crash after another, leaving you no time to react.

**Weak rebounds after a flash crash are usually bait.** Don’t be fooled by the idea that "it’s already fallen so deep"; at this point, most people are still trapped.

**High trading volume at the top doesn’t mean disaster, but no trading does.** If there’s still volume at the top, the trend might continue; but if suddenly no one is moving at high levels, that’s a real sign of collapse.

**Volume at the bottom needs to be confirmed.** A single spike in volume doesn’t mean much; it could just be a lure for bulls. Only after fluctuations with continuous volume does it have reference value.

**Candlesticks are surface appearances; trading volume is the most real.** Candlesticks are just the results displayed; volume reflects capital and sentiment. No participation, no matter how the trend moves; a sudden surge in volume is the real change.

**"Doing nothing" is actually the highest realm.** No obsession—if it’s time to be out, be out; when it’s time to act, do so decisively. But don’t rush or panic. This isn’t about lying flat, but about mastering the rhythm of trading.

The market never lacks opportunities; what’s missing is the ability to hold your ground and see the situation clearly. You’re not slow to react, you’ve just been circling in the dark.

My light is always on. Take two steps forward, catch up, and stop wasting time.

670,000, right? Sounds good, but the real test is how many times you can hold without selling.

volume doesn't lie, but people definitely do. 67k from 10k... technically speaking, that's just survivorship bias with better risk management. interesting edge case though – actually holding when everything screams sell.

10,000 to 670,000, it's said so lightly. How many heart attacks have there been in these three years? Really, the part about trading volume is spot on. Candlestick charts can deceive temporarily, but trading volume can't fool forever. It sounds very right, but when the market actually comes, you'll still get itchy... that's the difference.

10,000 to 670,000 sounds great, but I just want to know how many times the positions actually exploded in these three years.

It's easy to say from 10,000 to 670,000, but in reality, how many times did you want to smash your phone during those 1095 days?

10,000 to 670,000... Easy to say, but in reality, if your mindset doesn't collapse, that's considered a win. Very true, but how many actually take it to heart? Most still glance and then go all-in again. When will we be able to overcome human nature? That's the hardest part. Every day saying "doing nothing is the highest realm," but as soon as the market moves, I get itchy. Me too. I accept the trading volume point; I used to lose money on coins with pretty K-line charts. The key is to stick to it for 1095 days... That kind of resolve is truly incredible. The longest I can hold on is probably 1095 hours, haha. It's not a matter of method, but execution. That's the difference between ordinary retail investors and those with stable profits. Everything said is correct, but I still get fooled by bait. Maybe I was born missing that string.

10,000 to 670,000 is indeed impressive, but I still think the hardest part is the moment of not taking action.

10,000 to 670,000? Bro, this isn't trading, it's like printing money. --- Another story of "I made a fortune with a dumb method," just listen and don't take it seriously. --- Really treating trading volume as the Bible, only to be clueless when dumping at high levels. --- Doing nothing is the highest realm; when you actually lose money, you'll want to do everything. --- Persisted with the same strategy for 1095 days, this guy's mind is really tough. --- Is 670,000 a real number or just another online story? Asking raises doubts. --- Weak rebound after a flash crash is a bait—this isn't wrong, but it has also caused many to lose.

10,000 to 670,000, to put it simply, it's easy to say but hard to do. The key is that most people simply can't stick with it for 1095 days. --- The point about trading volume is spot on. I used to be deceived by K-line charts terribly. Now I only focus on volume when watching the market. --- That last sentence is a bit heart-wrenching. I am the one spinning in the dark. --- Flash crashes and rebounds are all bait. I need to tattoo this on my brain; I've fallen for it too many times. --- Got it. Don't rush. Be ready to hold cash when needed, and be ready to act when necessary. It's easy to say but really tough to implement. --- Starting from 10,000 to 670,000 in three years—that's true compound interest, not those nonsense claims of 10x every day. --- It's scary when there's no trading at high levels. I hadn't thought of this detail before, but now I have.
