When the money hits the account, I really couldn't hold back and laughed for a good while.

It's important to clarify where this money came from. I want to share some practical insights with everyone.

Regarding BEAT, my strategy is like this — initially building a long position at a low level, then exiting completely once the price rises. Later, I saw it surge back to previous highs, but this time it clearly lacked momentum, with longer upper shadows on the candles, which is a signal. Going short in response became a natural move. I took some profits on both the long and short sides, but this isn't about super-strong predictive ability; it's simply the market speaking: "It can't break through here."

That PIPPIN trade is even more interesting. It kept oscillating around 0.5, just unable to break through, with trading volume shrinking. When such a situation occurs, going short is actually just riding the trend.

Any secrets? Honestly, none.

I've summarized it into two points:

**First, focus on key levels.** Once the price enters these zones, whether it breaks through or pulls back, the market will tell you with action. No need to guess blindly — just watch quietly.

**Second, discipline yourself.** If you don't understand the market, stay put; if you lose money, accept the loss and cut your losses. Never fantasize about turning short-term losses into long-term investments.

I've noticed an interesting phenomenon: profitable trades are always pre-planned, while losing trades are mostly impulsive, made on a whim. The market doesn't run away; opportunities are continuous. The real issue is that we need to learn one skill first — reading market signals, and then having the patience to wait for those signals to truly appear. Don't always think you can dig out opportunities; for ordinary people, just grasping the existing ones is already pretty good.

Stay steady, keep your capital in hand, and you'll always have a share in this game.
