Three years ago, I was living off steamed buns and pickles in a rented room.

Three years of trading cryptocurrencies resulted in total loss of capital, and I owed 2.15 million in debt—that's when I truly felt I was doomed.

Today, my account has grown to a seven-figure sum, and I’ve become what others see as a "lucky one." But honestly, it’s not luck, nor some extraordinary talent; it’s just a set of survival logic I’ve figured out.

Many people believe in news, talent, or even luck. In reality? The only thing that matters in the end is: not dying.

I’ve analyzed countless margin calls and discovered a pattern: breakthroughs on the Asian session are mostly manipulated traps by the market makers. Earning 50,000 yuan in the morning and then hitting a 100,000 yuan liquidation in the afternoon happens every week.

Where is the real profit? It’s in two time periods—

First, from 9 PM to 1 AM. When Wall Street funds enter, the candlestick movements are very decisive, no fancy tricks—just relentless pressure in one direction; second, during the data release at 3 AM every Thursday, the few minutes of volatility are the purest opportunities.

I don’t trust the common technical strategies on the market. I rely on a few personally tested setups: specific MACD patterns, RSI at critical levels, combined with 15-minute volume signals—others may not understand, but this system has helped me steadily ride several one-sided trends over the year.

Stop-loss is the real lifeline. The common 3% mechanical stop-loss used by retail traders? It’s been fully exploited by the market makers. I’ve switched to dynamic stop-loss: using Fibonacci retracement levels for long positions, and ATR volatility for sudden drops. Last year, this method saved me seven times, allowing me to hold until the real bull market started.

Want to make gains? The key is to stay alive. The next wave of opportunities will always come again.
