Looking back on this year's trading experience, the biggest gain is not getting rich overnight, but learning to respect the market. Before each position, I always set stop-loss and take-profit levels, never going all in blindly. It is precisely because of this restraint that I protected my principal during several major pullbacks, and even during periods of panic, I bought ETH and SOL at low prices. The subsequent market rallies made those positions quite worthwhile.

Choosing the right exchange is also crucial. Low fees, fast execution, and a wide range of trading pairs—these seemingly basic features, when accumulated, can save a lot of costs. Seamless switching between spot, futures, and financial products reduces the time and friction involved in moving funds.

This year, I also summarized some core experiences to share with everyone:

**Holding high-quality assets for the long term is the simplest truth.** Assets like BTC and BNB, which are top-tier assets, may experience short-term volatility that can be frightening, but in the long run, the direction is clear. Compared to frequent trading, enduring volatility is often the more difficult lesson.

**Don’t just focus on candlestick charts.** On-chain data, macro policies, and market sentiment—these often explain price movements better than technical analysis. Paying more attention to these can help avoid being cut.

**The power of the community is really significant.** The exchange’s forum is a great place to gather information. You can see others’ observations and thoughts in real-time, with reliable voices and noise alike. Learning to discern is enough.

Looking forward to continuing to learn and grow in this market.
