#ZEC How to bring the cryptocurrency trading men back to a 'decent life'?

At 20, I plunged into the crypto world, and now at 30, I've spent a full decade immersed in candlestick charts.

The years 2023-2024 are my turning point—my account has first surged to eight figures, truly achieving 'financial freedom'.

Now I can stay in hotels that cost 2000 bucks a night without blinking; I always bring a suitcase and a hat with some crypto symbols, so I can easily recognize 'my people' wherever I go.

Compared to my elders who work in factories or do e-commerce, my life is simply too comfortable: no need to watch the supply chain, no need to deal with contract disputes, and certainly no clients defaulting, leaving me with very few worries.

People often ask: What does trading rely on?

After thinking for a while, the answer is actually very simple—mindset comes first, and technology comes in second at most.

Over the years of crawling and rolling, I've accumulated some 'practical mental methods', which I share with my brothers in the circle:

BTC is always the big brother. If you want to mix in the crypto world, you have to pay attention to it: when it rises, the altcoins get a chance to benefit; when it falls, all the little brothers must follow suit. Occasionally, ETH will have an independent market, but don't expect the altcoins to withstand a major market downturn.

BTC and USDT are like a seesaw. Remember this: when USDT rises, Bitcoin should be cautious; when Bitcoin rises sharply, quickly stock up on some USDT to secure profits.

Don't miss these two critical time periods:

- 12:00 AM to 1:00 AM, it's easy to 'spike', set your take-profit and stop-loss orders before bed to often catch a good opportunity;

- 6:00 AM to 8:00 AM is the wind vane for the day's trend: if it falls in the first half of the night and continues to fall in these two hours, closing your eyes and buying more is likely to recover the losses that day; if it rises in the first half of the night and continues to rise in these two hours, quickly run away, as it is likely to correct that day.

Don't lose focus at 5:00 PM! Due to the time difference, US funds just entered the market, and this is when big fluctuations are most likely to occur, so you have to keep a close watch.

'Black Friday'? Don’t be too superstitious. Fridays have seen drops, rises, and sideways movements; the key is still to look at the news and trading volume.

The most practical advice: as long as it's not a pump-and-dump coin and has real trading volume, don’t panic if it drops. In three to five days or a month, it's likely to recover. If you have spare cash, buy in batches to lower your cost; if you don't have spare cash, just hold on, it shouldn't be a big problem.

Focus on BTC, ETH, SOL, BNB, and other core cryptocurrencies, providing 3-5 clear spot and contract strategies daily.

Here, you can achieve: saying goodbye to losses —> keeping up with professional pace —> establishing your own profit system, all three are essential.
