Old buddies, today let's not talk about K-lines, let's chat about something real.
Eight years, what’s enough for? Enough to experience several cycles of bull and bear markets, and enough for a young guy who was once laughed at for “dreaming” in a shared apartment to slam the red book on the table. That feeling in my heart is more invigorating than anything else. Back then, someone said I was “trading air”, but now that house is exactly the one she hesitated to buy after talking about it for ages. I didn't say anything, but I felt like I said everything.
This circle is indeed lively, but the grass on the graves grows quickly too. Those who survive through two cycles without exiting must have some scars; they have managed to grasp the essence of survival. Let me share a few heartfelt words of my own, you taste them, you savor them.
1. We should have a bit of reverence for the market.
Don't take the luck on the hot topics as your own strength, especially when you start thinking about 'playing with borrowed money'. The most precarious time for me was when I almost got swept away in a wave. Now I understand, anyone who urges you to 'seek wealth in danger' should be watched closely. Some high-risk plays are essentially just a perpetual motion machine for the platform. What truly allows you to sleep soundly at night is still holding onto tangible assets. Most of my positions now are like 'Old Wang Ba', focusing on a few things and staying still. The remaining small part, when the market gets lively, I play along, earning a little bonus when I profit, and not losing my vitality when I incur losses.
2. Look for opportunities like a sniper.
Most of the time, you just need to stay put, observe, and patiently wait. But once the target is within range, pull the trigger without hesitation. Don’t think every opportunity has to be yours; some projects are just a waste of your life to even glance at. Either your money is thick enough, or your understanding is deep enough; you have to possess at least one. For situations you don’t understand or can’t enter, forcing your way in is just making yourself a stepping stone.
3. If you want to make money, sometimes you have to go against the majority.
When the market is so quiet that no one speaks, and the group is dead silent, I actually become more alert and start observing slowly. When the time comes that even the old man downstairs asks which one can make money, and the heat rushes to your face, you should think about how to withdraw gracefully. 'When others are scared, I am greedy; when others are greedy, I am careful'—I have heard this so many times, but among a hundred people, nine and a half cannot do it.
4. Being able to sell is the mark of a master.
Whenever something starts to take off, the first thing I do is find a way to pull back the initial capital I invested, and if I can pull out more profit, that's even better. The rest is pure profit running. The benefit of doing this is simple: you can sleep at night. Even if it drops sharply later, what you see is just a fluctuation in numbers, which won't hurt you. This sense of calm is priceless.
5. When eating fish, be content with the most delicious middle section.
Stop fantasizing about buying at the lowest and selling at the highest; that’s something only gods can calculate. When you feel like the whole world is celebrating, it usually means the party is about to end. When it’s time to leave, just go—don’t cling to the battle, as turning back can easily lead to regret.
6. When selecting targets, always focus on the leader.
No matter what new stories are made up, what capital and the market recognize the most is still the leader. When the leader rises sharply, it also bears the downturn relatively well. The key is that when you want to enter or exit, someone is always there to take over. Don’t mess around in places where the trading volume is as desolate as a ghost town; it’s easy to find yourself hanging on the wall as a backdrop.
7. Stay calm, your mind is more valuable.
Stop watching those 'teachers' who post eighteen directional analyses in a day, and avoid hanging around in noisy groups. Being overloaded with information will only interfere with your judgment. Only by calming down can you clearly hear what the market is really saying.
8. The last sentence, which is also what I want to say the most: Big money is 'earned' by sitting, not 'traded' by speculation.
If you look back, most of the gains probably come from just a few correct judgments and the subsequent long wait. Going back and forth, other than contributing some fees to all parties, is just constantly exhausting your energy and luck.
Eight years, not too long, not too short. It didn’t give me a secret to becoming rich overnight, but it gave me a way to see through the hustle and bustle, and a calm mind that knows when to act and when to hold back. In this field, those who can ultimately smile are often not the smartest, but the ones who can understand the rules of the game and control themselves.
Anyone can talk about great principles, but the true quality must be seen in the choices of real money.
I am Lao Yuan, an observer who has been in the market for some years. Follow me, and I hope to help you see more logic and avoid those pitfalls. In this market, continuous learning is your strongest trump card.#特朗普新版美国网络战略文件 #币安Alpha上新 $ETH
