Eight years ago, I carried all my savings—30,000 yuan—and rushed into the crypto world. In the hardest times, even next month’s rent had to be borrowed from friends. I’m Hubei-born but living in Shenzhen with no roots and no foundation—every day I wake up thinking about the “plate” and every time I close my eyes, it’s all “blowing the tank.” Everyone around me thought I’d gone mad.
But it’s precisely people like me—“mad” enough—to start with those 30,000 yuan, without any insider information, never taking a single shortcut, and never relying on luck, and still forcefully turned it into an eight-figure asset with an extremely counterintuitive, plainminded method.
Many people ask me: Why can some people always stay in the market, while others come for just one wave of trading and then disappear?
The answer is actually very simple—they’ve figured out the market maker’s rhythm, and they’ve kept their own emotions under control.
The following 6 rules are the “survival laws” I’ve repeatedly verified over 2,000+ days and nights. They’re not complicated, but they’re very much worth it.
First: Fast up, slow iterate—often not the top
When the market suddenly pumps up for a stretch and then slowly pulls back, this is more often “washing the plate,” and the “turnover” of the hands is taking place.
Second: Fast iterate, slow rise—usually not an opportunity
After a flash crash, the price crawls upward bit by bit, making it look like a “second time to board the train” opportunity. In reality, it’s usually the very last stage of distribution. Don’t let the thought of “it’s already iterated so much” fool you.
Third: High-level price with volume doesn’t necessarily mean safety; when there’s no volume, you should be wary
When it rises to high levels, if the trading volume can still keep up, it means there’s still room for contention. The truly dangerous situation is when the price is high but suddenly no one is trading. That kind of “quietness” is often a signal before a major iteration down.
Fourth: One bottom candle with volume doesn’t mean a reversal
The real bottom is ground out. Only after several days, even weeks, of stable, heavy volume can you tell the market makers are seriously building a position. One big bullish candle can only be counted as a “smoke bomb.”
Fifth: Price is the result; volume is emotion
Many people stare at the 1h chart, but they’re really just watching appearances. What’s truly useful is trading volume—it reflects market consensus, and the real change in the true power behind the market.
Sixth: Being able to “short” is what a real expert looks like
Being able to short isn’t cowardice—it’s a choice. Not chasing the high is restraint; not panicking is confidence. When you can achieve “no attachment” toward the market, that’s when trading truly starts to serve you.
