Back then, my business collapsed and creditors blocked my door every day.

Today, 260,000 arrived in my account. I stared at the number in a daze for a while. The hustle and bustle outside the window suddenly felt distant.

Sailing a boat alone through rapids—even if the small boat is heavy, at least the paddle is still in my hands.

I've been in crypto for 8 years now. At first, I only had 50,000 USDT borrowed as initial capital. Now, my account balance is over 50 million.

There's no secret. I didn't catch any mythical bull market, either. I just kept repeating a set of "so dumb it's genius" methods, like a machine.

This path is really hard. I've been liquidated, cut losses, and doubted my life in the middle of the night. It took me a full eight years to slowly figure out some tricks.

For more than 3,000 days and nights, I've done only one thing: treat trading like playing an RPG game, clearing one level after another.

Today, I'm writing down the 6 iron rules I've summed up:

**Rule 1: Volume Determines Direction**
If it rises quickly but falls slowly, it's usually the major players accumulating. If there's a sudden big red candle after a sharp spike, that's the real harvesting blade.

**Rule 2: Flash Crashes Are Knife Edges**
When prices fall hard but rise sluggishly, it's very likely distribution is happening. Don't see the rebound after a flash crash as an opportunity—that's a trap.

**Rule 3: Low Volume at Highs Is Most Dangerous**
A spike in volume at the top doesn't always mean an immediate collapse, but prolonged low volume sideways movement at the top—that's the calm before the storm.

**Rule 4: Bottoms Need Repeated Confirmation**
A single volume spike at the bottom doesn't count. After consecutive low-volume consolidation, only when there's another surge in volume is it truly a signal to build a position.

**Rule 5: Candlesticks Are Results, Volume Is Language**
Market sentiment is all written in trading volume. Low volume means a cold market; high volume means money is flooding in. Understanding volume means understanding the market's heartbeat.

**Rule 6: The Ultimate Mindset Is "Nothingness"**
Dare to stay in cash, don't get obsessed.
Don't be greedy, don't chase highs.
Don't be fearful, dare to buy the dip.

This isn't passive indifference—it's a top-tier mindset.

Opportunities are never lacking in crypto. What's lacking is mindset and discipline. Most people don't lose because of slow speed, but because they stumble blindly in the dark.

I've fallen into too many pits, so I want to stand here holding a light.

A new trend is brewing. Stop fumbling in the dark alone.
