Late at night, watching the K-line chart, my account balance increased by 67 times. I wanted to share this achievement, but I realized no one understands that sense of loneliness.

Having navigated the crypto market for three years, from a novice to someone others seek advice from, I haven't relied on luck. The lessons learned from two liquidation events have resulted in these six brutal trading rules:

**1. Don't rush to cut losses during slow dips**
Slow rises and slow dips are usually just shakeouts; the market manipulators are testing your patience and draining your chips. Be truly cautious of sudden, explosive volume surges followed by waterfall declines—that's the real trap.

**2. Don't rush to buy the dip after a flash crash**
A quick rebound after a sharp decline may look tempting, but it's often a trap for trap traders. Don't try to guess the bottom or catch falling knives. Staying alive and exiting is more important than anything.

**3. High prices with low volume are more dangerous than a big drop**
Sideways movement at high levels and a sudden decrease in trading volume are warning signs of an impending collapse. When the excitement dies down, the smart money has already exited.

**4. Reliable signals come from continuous volume increases at the bottom**
A single volume spike can be fake; only sustained volume indicates genuine capital inflow. Be patient and wait for the moment when funds truly pour in.

**5. Trading volume is more honest than candlestick charts**
Candlesticks can deceive; volume reflects the true market sentiment. Small volume suggests caution, large volume signals the moment to act. This indicator is always the most honest.

**6. Control your hands to survive until the end**
When out of the market, endure the loneliness; when entering, act decisively. Only those with a stable mindset can wait for the real big move.

The crypto world is never short of opportunities; what’s lacking is patience without greed and impulsiveness. Money earned through luck is often lost through skill. Conversely, steady small funds accumulate into a big snowball over time.

The market is always there; opportunities wait for no one. To stay on beat, you must first learn to understand the market.
