I have always believed that trading cryptocurrencies and stocks are fundamentally the same; both revolve around three key aspects: market structure, position control, and rhythm mastery. Where is the difference? The crypto market is much more volatile, operating 24/7 non-stop, with a completely different risk profile.

Let's be straightforward with 16 practical tips:

After three days of gains, it's time to cash out; greed will lead to big losses—this applies to both stocks and crypto. When prices fall for five days, it’s actually an opportunity to position; the key is to wait for signals to appear.

When the market opens with a sharp drop, dare to buy the dip to secure profits; conversely, if there's a surge in the morning, you must decisively exit. If the price rises in the afternoon, reduce your holdings; never chase. If it drops in the afternoon, wait until the next day to act.

High volume at a high level is a warning sign—run quickly; low volume at a low level indicates no one is selling, so be patient and wait. Volume drying up at a high level is common; don’t rush to escape, it might just be sideways consolidation. If volume shrinks at a high level and the price moves down, don’t panic sell—most likely it’s a trap to shake out weak hands.

A break below support in the morning followed by a rally at the close indicates someone is quietly accumulating; conversely, a gap up in the morning followed by a retreat at the close usually signals distribution. A morning rally followed by a sharp decline in the afternoon is basically a shakeout pattern.

Frequent volume spikes at low levels are signals of capital building positions. In an uptrend, small pullbacks are buying opportunities; in a downtrend, small rebounds are a sign to reduce holdings. Falling within an upward channel is often a trap; rising within a downward channel is also false—don’t be fooled.

Final words: the stock market tests your mentality and patience; the crypto market pushes these to the extreme with volatility. Stocks give you time to react; crypto relies on execution and discipline. If you can survive in A-shares, your chances of being wiped out in the crypto futures market are much lower.

Fund management is always more important than understanding a few K-line patterns. Position size and discipline—these two things, if locked in, are more effective than anything else.
