Ten years ago, I took 5,000 yuan from Fujian to Hangzhou, and no one believed I could survive.

Now I own three apartments in Hangzhou, have over 50 million in my account, and wake up naturally every day.

A few days ago, a close friend from Shanghai came all the way to ask: Sister Mei, how did you actually turn your net worth around?

I said: I don’t watch news, don’t gamble on news, and don’t follow K-line charts.

Surviving 8 years in the crypto world isn’t luck; it’s a set of “stupid methods” that most people look down on.

Below are six ironclad trading rules that I’ve developed over 10 years, trading with hundreds of millions of real money—

Understand one rule, and you’ll lose less than 100,000; master three, and you can beat 90% of retail investors.

1. Don’t panic and sell during rapid rises and slow declines

A quick surge followed by a slow decline is market manipulation, don’t rush to exit.

But beware of flash crashes after volume spikes—those are market makers trapping more buyers before dumping.

2. Don’t bottom-fish during sharp declines and slow rebounds

A sudden drop followed by a slow bounce is often a trap; don’t believe “the bottom is in.” Market makers never show mercy.

3. Use volume at the top to assess risk

Persistent high-volume oscillations at high levels might still have room to go higher; once trading volume suddenly shrinks and the market cools, a crash is imminent.

4. Watch for sustained volume at the bottom

Single-day volume spikes are often bait; only after a period of low volume consolidation followed by gentle, continuous volume increase is a sign of genuine market maker accumulation.

5. Volume hides emotional signals

The core of trading crypto is trading emotions; trading volume reflects market consensus. K-line charts are superficial; volume is the real key.

6. “Wu” (nothing) mindset in trading

Without obsession, you can hold cash and wait for opportunities; without greed, you avoid chasing highs; without fear, you dare to position during panic. This is the psychological threshold of top traders.

The crypto market is never short of opportunities; what’s lacking is disciplined hands and understanding the big picture. I only do real trading, not virtual. For friends who want to stay grounded, avoid pitfalls, and earn steadily, don’t walk in the crypto world alone. $ETH
