8 Years in the Crypto World: From Liquidation to Guaranteed Profits, I Survived on 6 Rules

People often ask me, 'K, if you're afraid of liquidation, why can't you resist buying?' The answer is quite heartbreaking—everyone hopes for 'the next trade to turn around,' but I've seen too many people stumble on this hope.

In 2015, I entered the market with my savings, going from confused and reckless to relying on trading for retirement. No one guided me, no backing, all experience gained from losses.

After eight years, I've compiled 6 iron rules: understanding one can help you avoid pitfalls, grasping three can ensure profits.

First Rule: Don't chase sudden spikes.

In my early years, I chased ETH's straight-line surge, only to end up buying at the peak. Later, I understood— the crazier the rise, the more likely it is to be a test; waiting for a pullback and stabilization to enter is ten times safer than rushing for the first bite.

Second Rule: Don't buy during sudden drops.

When the market suddenly crashes, don’t rush to shout 'buy the dip'; rebounds are often emotional illusions. The real bottom is formed through sideways movement. Last year, when BTC dropped below 20,000, I waited a week to act, avoiding three false rebounds.

Third Rule: Panic only when volume decreases at high levels.

Increased volume indicates a tug-of-war between bulls and bears. Sideways movement combined with decreasing volume signals risk.

Fourth Rule: Don’t act impulsively when volume increases at low levels.

A surge doesn’t happen overnight; it requires continuous volume and a retest to hold the support line. I’d rather take mid-stage profits than risk the beginning.

Fifth Rule: Candlestick patterns can be fake, but volume cannot deceive.

Volume is the root of direction; follow the direction of increasing volume to minimize losses; going against it will eventually lead to a fall.

Sixth Rule: The highest state is 'emptiness of heart.'

Don’t be greedy; take profits when you have them; don’t be afraid; place orders when signals arrive; don’t be obsessive; wait when there are no opportunities.

I've seen too many smart people fall due to one full position or one impulse, while those who are 'half a beat slow' see their accounts grow more stable.

The market rewards not the most excited, but the most stable.

If you want to differentiate between real spikes and false rebounds, and avoid those pitfalls, come find me—surviving in the crypto world is more important than anything else.

I used to stumble alone in the dark, now the light is in my hands.
