Having navigated the crypto world for so many years, my biggest takeaway isn't how much I've earned, but the lessons learned from the pitfalls I've encountered, which have taught me how to truly make money. Many people always lose money trading cryptocurrencies; ultimately, it's because they don't understand the market's temperament. Every piece of trading experience I've accumulated over the years has been earned with real money.

Let's start with the mainstream leading coins. If they drop for about 10 days or so, most people get anxious, but that's actually a good time to get on board. Don't be scared by short-term declines; those are just paper tigers. The real opportunity is hidden in the panic.

No matter which coin you're trading, as long as three large bullish candles appear in a row, my habit is to immediately reduce my position. Some people are reluctant and want to wait for that last "fish tail" profit. Little do they know, greed is the easiest way to get reversed, and taking profits is what truly belongs to you.

When a coin surges more than 7% in a day, many rush to sell. But based on experience, the next day often still has upward momentum. At this point, it's better to observe first and act once the signals are more certain; this increases the hit rate.

The most tempting are the big bull coins, but don't rush to chase them. Wait until they pull back from their high levels—that's what I call a "golden pit." Only then is the best time to build a position, with the highest success rate.

Sometimes, you'll encounter a coin that consolidates sideways for three days with no movement. My approach is to wait another three days. If there's still no change, decisively switch to another coin. There are too many opportunities in this market to waste time stubbornly holding onto one asset.

A key point: if the next day can't even recover the previous day's cost, you must withdraw without hesitation. Dragging it out will only deepen the loss—this is an iron law.

You can also find patterns from the gainers list. Once a coin rises by 3%, it often follows with a 5% increase; and coins that rise by 5% tend to continue up to 7%. This chain reaction is worth paying close attention to.

The relationship between volume and price is the soul of trading; you must keep a close eye on it. A volume breakout at a low level is an absolute opportunity, but if volume surges at a high level and the price doesn't move up? Run quickly—don't hesitate.

Only trade coins with an upward trend—that's a fundamental principle. A turn in the 3-day moving average indicates short-term opportunities; an upward 30-day moving average shows mid-term profit potential; a strong 80-day moving average signals the main upward wave is coming; and a turn in the 120-day moving average is a sign that a long-term bull market is starting.

Finally, I want to say that small funds can also turn around. Having less capital doesn't mean no opportunity. I've seen many start with just a few thousand yuan and eventually grow to millions. The key lies in whether your method is right, whether your mindset is stable, and whether your execution is strong. As long as you master these three, the market will eventually give you an answer.
