Six years ago, he only had $1,500 in principal, and now his account has accumulated over 9 million in assets. The most remarkable thing is that during these six years, he never touched high leverage, didn't chase insider information, and didn't gamble on volatile meme coins, staying steady and disciplined throughout, outperforming most traders against the trend. $BNB
When I asked him about his secret to profit, he simply said, “Only trade the market you understand. Leave the profits you don’t understand to others.”
After a long night of discussion, I summarized the core trading principles he has adhered to for years. They may seem clumsy, but they are incredibly practical.
First, distinguish between a correction and a true top. A slow pullback after a rapid rise is mostly a shakeout by the main players, so there's no need to panic; the real risk is a sudden crash followed by a prolonged inability to rebound. Once you hesitate in such a market, you are very likely to get caught deep.
Second, understand the authenticity of volume and the false exit signals. High volume at a top doesn’t necessarily mean the end of the trend, but if the volume continues to shrink at a high level and funds dry up, it indicates no one is willing to buy, and the main players are quietly retreating—this is a clear sign they are exiting.
Third, refuse to trade emotionally based on single candlesticks. True bull markets are not caused by a sudden single-day surge but are the result of continuous accumulation of funds over days or weeks. Avoid being swayed by a single candlestick to operate blindly.
The phrase that hit me the most: Most people in the crypto world lose money not because they don’t understand the market, but because they are too impatient. They are always trying to catch the fastest big profits, but end up frequently missing opportunities and getting caught repeatedly.
