Six months ago, I only had 10,000 yuan in my account, and hardly anyone around me believed I could achieve anything. At the beginning, I kept losing for seven straight trades—my principal dropped to 6,000. Many late nights, I stared at the screen and kept asking myself over and over: should I even continue? After thinking for a long time, I finally reopened the K-line chart.

Half a year later, I built the account up to 1.5 million. Looking back, what truly helped me slowly get back on track wasn’t some magical indicator. It was that when I was losing, I didn’t stubbornly hold on; when I was making money, I wasn’t greedy; when I made mistakes, I adjusted in time. Once adjusted, I kept going.

These six are the lessons I left myself after losing real money.

First, when it rises fast and falls slowly, don’t rush to cut. After a sharp spike, price may pull back gradually. Sometimes it’s just capital shaking the position, and it doesn’t necessarily mean the trend is about to end. What really needs your caution is when, after a surge to new highs on high volume, it suddenly turns weak.

Second, when it drops fast but the rebound lacks strength, don’t rush to bottom-pick. After a round of rapid sell-off, if the rebound remains weak, many times it’s not the bottom—it just means the decline hasn’t finished. Don’t assume the risk is low just because it has already fallen a lot.$HEMI

Third, high-volume moves at the top don’t necessarily mean an immediate top. On the contrary, continuously shrinking volume is even more worth worrying about. Looking only at one day’s volume isn’t very meaningful; the key is whether price and volume are able to align.

Fourth, when volume suddenly spikes at the bottom, don’t rush to assume a reversal. A one-day volume surge might only be capital testing the waters. What’s truly worth paying attention to is whether volume can keep building up after a period of consolidation.

Fifth, on the surface, trading crypto looks at K-line charts—but in essence, you’re still judging capital and sentiment. Price tells you the outcome. Volume helps you assess whether there is sustained participation in the market.

Sixth, once you’re truly mature, you’re actually more and more willing to stay in cash. If you don’t understand, don’t trade. When an opportunity comes, make your move. Set stop-losses when you need to; hold your position when you should. Don’t let momentary price swings control you.

The market won’t give you opportunities just because your capital is small. And it won’t show mercy just because you’ve lost money. If you want to go far, it’s far more important to correct your trading habits first than to search everywhere for some so-called “get-rich password.”#台股TAIEX受芯片股带动重返46500点
