During 1095 days, I turned 10,000 USDT into 810,000 USDT. There was no insider information, I didn't catch any crazy market moves, let alone go all-in and change my fate.

Honestly, I just treat trading as the most straightforward craft—day after day grinding, practicing repeatedly.

In this period, I've seen too many accounts skyrocket in a short time, and witnessed even more go straight to zero. But those who ultimately survive almost all understand the same set of principles.

The following 6 trading rules are each verified by real money and experience. I can't guarantee you'll use all of them, but understanding one or two can save you thousands in tuition fees.

**Rapid rises often hide dangers**

A sudden big bullish candle pushes the price up, only to start a continuous decline afterward. It looks very momentum-driven, but in reality, it’s likely just clearing out retail investors. True market tops are rarely formed through repeated grinding. Usually, after a volume surge, there’s a cliff-like drop. Those who buy in at that moment often think they’re quick to react.

**Be cautious of slow rises after a sharp decline**

After a significant drop, the price begins to climb little by little. On the surface, it seems like the market is giving you a "buying opportunity." But in many cases, that’s just the last wave of distribution. Many people think, "It’s fallen so hard, it should be safe now"—but that’s often the most dangerous phrase in crypto.

**Silence at the top is the most frightening**

When the price is high, if there’s still volume, it indicates disagreement in the market—bulls and bears are still fighting. But if volume suddenly disappears at the high, with a clear reduction, that’s the real warning sign. When the market becomes quiet, it often means something has already been secretly decided.

**A bottom cannot be confirmed by a single volume spike**

A single volume increase might just be a trap to lure more buyers. The true bottom is always accompanied by continuous oscillation and sustained volume growth. It’s not just emotional volatility at a moment, but a gradual process of funds building positions. Once you understand this, you learn how to "wait."

**Candlestick patterns lie, volume doesn’t**

Price patterns can deceive, and attractive candlestick formations can be misleading. But volume almost never lies. If there’s volume, it means real funds are involved. Conversely, if there’s no volume, even the most beautiful chart is just an empty shell.

**Top traders dare to hold coins long-term and wait**

Not taking action itself is a way to profit. There’s no need to prove your conviction or rush to make every move. When the market looks suspicious, just watch. Only when a real opportunity appears do you act. This isn’t conservatism; it’s about cultivating the ultimate mindset.

Opportunities in crypto are never lacking. What’s most scarce are those who can hold their nerve, see the situation clearly, and endure. Many people aren’t slow—they’re just blindly rushing forward.

I’ve laid all this out openly. Whether you believe it or use it is entirely up to you.
