After trading cryptocurrencies for 9 years, I am now 38 years old, and my assets have reached eight figures. When I go out, I never look at hotel prices.

This is not boasting, but the truth. Compared to my peers in factories and e-commerce who are born in the 80s, I am indeed much more relaxed.

Over the years, it has been too difficult to turn my life around with a dead-end salary; I have long seen through it and jumped straight into trading. After suffering countless losses, I have gained the confidence I have today.

I have experienced both bull and bear markets; dramatic rises and falls are now commonplace for me. Being able to survive until now relies entirely on adhering to a few key principles.

I do not rely on technical skills; rather, I understand when to avoid risks and when to strike. When there is a rapid rise followed by a slow fall, do not blindly chase it; that is the dealer quietly accumulating shares, setting a trap for you.

Conversely, after a steep drop and a small rise, do not rush to catch the bottom; often, the dealer is offloading at high positions, trying to lure you into buying for a rebound.

If there is suddenly a surge in volume at the top, do not be in a hurry to sell; sometimes it’s the dealer making one last push. But if the price rises to a high position without volume, make sure to run, or you will end up as the last buyer.

If there is an increase in volume at the bottom, do not rush either; much of it is a bait to entice buyers. To truly enter the market, you need to see if it can maintain stability without falling after a few days of continuous volume; that is the real signal.

Trading cryptocurrencies is really about trading emotions. How the market moves is dictated by emotions, which in turn depend on trading volume. When you impulsively want to jump in, it is often when the dealer wants to exit; when you are afraid and want to run, they may have already made their purchases.

In the crypto circle, the ones getting cut are always those few types of people. Those who get liquidated are not lacking in talent, but cannot control their hands.

Those who fantasize about making a fortune in one go have been harshly taught a lesson by the market.

I do not think I am particularly impressive, but I have been constantly improving, observing, and learning.

Making money is not about luck, but about repeated reviews, stepping into pitfalls, and adjusting strategies.

Relying on fantasy, on signal groups, and on luck will not allow you to survive long in this market.

There will always be market trends, but your capital and opportunities may be limited to just a few.

I am Zheng Ge, using systematic thinking to help you clear away the fog of investment.
