Three years ago in the urban village, A-Zhe squatted by the roadside gnawing on a cold steamed bun, clutching a repayment slip in his hand. He cycled for 14 hours every day, earning just enough to fill the pit of trading cryptocurrencies. Last week, he sent a screenshot of a seven-digit account balance, solid enough to be intimidating.
Having been in the crypto space for eight years, I have seen too many gamblers lose everything and leave. But A-Zhe made me understand: this is not a casino, but a playground for the 'fools'. Smart people always try to take shortcuts and end up taught a lesson by the market; only the 'honest people' who stick to discipline can laugh to the end.
First trick: Give up watching the market, focus on two windows
Beginners often chase after rising and falling prices, becoming fodder. A-Zhe once followed a 'big shot', losing everything and still in debt after half a year.
Later, he reviewed two years of data and discovered the truth: abandon 90% of the noise and focus on two windows:
1. European market overlapping period (15:00-17:00): Institutions enter the market, and 'false breakthroughs' significantly decrease. He prepared his strategy in advance, just waiting for the signal. He relied on this to grasp the waves, achieving over 15% profit.
2. After non-farm payroll data (after 02:30 on the first Friday of each month): Avoid the first wave of emotions, wait for 15 minutes, and enter with a light position after the 'confirmation K-line' appears. On non-farm night last November, what he earned with half a position was equivalent to three months' salary.
Second trick: The 'Iron Triangle' of indicators
Having too many indicators on the screen creates confusion. A-Zhe only focuses on three:
· Bollinger Bands 'Three Bottoms': Price touches the lower band three times, and volume gradually increases, a rebound is imminent.
· RSI 'Breaks the Midline': Rising from below 30 to above 50, indicating a trend change to upward.
· OBV 'Runs Ahead': Price is flat, OBV rises quietly, indicating that funds have already been positioned.
When all three signals resonate, it is a good opportunity to enter the market. Last year, he captured a wave of 30% increase based on this.
Third trick: Dynamic profit-taking, secure the gains
"Many people do not lose in downturns but rather run away with small profits or become greedy and give it back."
His strategy is:
1. When profits reach 50%, cash out half to lock in profits.
2. Set a 'moving profit-taking line' for the remaining position, using recent lows as a safety cushion; do not exit until it breaks.
In this way, using 'market money' to seek profits keeps the mindset extremely stable. A pullback will only result in earning less, never a loss.
The market is always there, and opportunities do not wait for anyone. If you want to step on the right rhythm without getting lost, join Lin Jie to strategize together.
