Trading this path may sound mysterious, but in reality, it's just that simple. Ultimately, it all comes down to one thing—can you stay clear-headed when the market is most chaotic?

That year, during the LUNA collapse, I was beaten up alongside a seasoned trader. One drunken night, he said something to me that I’ve remembered ever since: "The market is like this, there’s nothing mysterious about it. As long as you can control your mindset, the market will eventually send you money."

Only later did I realize—the real opponent in the crypto world is not the K-line, but human desire.

In a bull market, everyone can give advice; once the trend turns, everyone runs away. Most people losing money aren’t due to poor skills, but because they are driven by greed and fear.

I’ve survived from a complete novice to now by relying on a trading framework I’ve repeatedly tested myself. It’s not complicated, but effective:

**First Rule: Enter the Market Calmly**
Don’t rush in just because the coin price is rising. True opportunities often appear during dull periods. Try small amounts first to test the waters and get a feel for the rhythm—much better than going all-in blindly.

**Second Rule: Watch for Accumulation During Sideways Movement**
Repeated oscillations at low levels usually indicate accumulation; prolonged sideways movement at high levels often signals a reversal. Bottom absorption, top escape—that’s the simplest survival philosophy.

**Third Rule: Sell on Rises, Buy on Dips**
When everyone is rushing to buy during a rally, they’re just taking the other side of the trade. Large dips are actually opportunities, but only if you analyze the K-line patterns and support levels—don’t move blindly.

**Fourth Rule: Build Positions on Bearish Candles, Exit on Bullish Candles**
This is the hardest to do. Most people tend to do the opposite—panic when prices fall, get greedy when prices rise. When your mindset collapses, your operations become chaotic.

**Fifth Rule: Intervene During Morning Declines, Close Positions During Midday Rises**
It’s not foolproof, but this rhythm can be life-saving for short- and medium-term traders.

Later, I truly understood: a master isn’t someone who trades frequently, but someone who knows when to make a bold move and when to hold firm.

Analyzing the market doesn’t need to be overly complicated—just a single K-line or a volume bar can reveal the direction. These are experiences gained through time; there are no shortcuts.

But most people’s problem is—they don’t dare to add positions when the market is good, don’t dare to bottom fish when it’s bad, hesitate to take profits, and hesitate to cut losses. As long as these mental blocks remain, no matter how much you earn, it’s all in vain.

It’s not that you lack speed; it’s that you’re stumbling in the dark. The light is always on, right ahead. If you don’t rely on the past, you’ll forever be circling in darkness.
