Three years, the account grew from 10,000 U to 810,000 U. No insider information, missed the crazy bull run, and didn't go all-in. What’s the reason for the turnaround? Honestly, it’s just treating trading as a simple skill, grinding through 1095 days.

Over the years, I’ve seen too many accounts take off and witnessed countless people wipe out overnight. Those who survive have figured out these key principles:

**Rapid rise and slow fall is a trap.** After a big bullish candle, there’s often a downward decline. This isn’t a sign of strong market dominance but a shakeout. Sharp drops at the top are usually accompanied by increased volume, and the buyers often become cannon fodder.

**Don’t rush to buy the dip after a flash crash.** A slow rebound after a steep decline can be misleading, but it’s often the main players offloading. The idea that "it’s safe after a big drop" is among the top three reasons for losses in the crypto world.

**The top fears silence the most.** High volume and disagreement at the top are manageable, but shrinking volume is dangerous. The quieter the market, the more turbulent the storm often is.

**Bottoms require repeated confirmation.** A single surge in volume might be a trap for more buying; the real bottom is characterized by repeated oscillations and sustained volume. Learn to "lie in wait."

**Candlesticks are surface, volume reveals the truth.** Price can deceive, but volume doesn’t. Volume reflects capital flow; charts without volume are castles in the air.

**True experts dare to hold long-term cash positions.** Not making a move is a profit. Without obsession, wait for the right opportunity, then strike.

The crypto market never lacks opportunities; what’s missing are those who can control their hands, see the situation clearly, and endure. This logic is clear—whether to follow or not is up to you.
