1. When your position is profitable, the rebate is another part of your earnings.
2. When your position breaks even, the rebate is your profit.
3. When your position incurs a loss or is liquidated, the rebate can help you recover and start over.
Many brothers think that a few hundred or a few thousand U is not worth opening; that is because you do not understand the calculation standard for fees. Fees are never calculated based on your principal but rather on the position after leverage.
For example, with 1000 U you open 100x, at this point, the position for calculating the fee is 10 WU, and opening a position will definitely lead to closing it, so this order incurs at least 20 WU in fees. The fee on Binance is 0.1%. For example, if you open a position of 5 ETH, the fees for the round trip is 18 U. Do not underestimate the rebate; every month, you can save a few meals at Haidilao, or save tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands. This money is the capital for our resurgence in difficult times.
To put it bluntly, if you do not have a rebate, it is equivalent to giving away money that originally belonged to you to the platform.
You are playing with leverage; fees are magnified many times over. If you do not have a rebate, it is like giving away money every day.

Gold rose to a price of 4452 this morning. I was just off by a little from the buy order at 4500. When I got up at noon, I saw the price had already come down, but I still opened one more position. The sell orders above 4500 haven’t been canceled yet.
Right now, I’m just waiting for either gold to rise and have my order filled to bring my average cost down, or to wait until it breaks below 4300—I’ll add more to my position!
1, Spot the right market trend and go all-in with a heavy position. If you’re right and your account multiplies by a few times, great. If you’re wrong, start over. 2, Trade short-term swings every day with a small-position approach. Make a profit of about 800–1,100 USDT (U) and close the trade; if you lose about 800–1,100 U, cut the loss. The advantage is that if you play like this for a month, you won’t lose everything. The downside is you can only make small money—you won’t be able to make big money.
The simplest method is: use a small position every day to trade swings. When you encounter a setup where you can be at least 80% sure about the outcome, go all-in with a heavy position! That’s how you earn big. Otherwise, it’s like a caged canary—you’ll never escape your fixed thinking.

Tonight the CPI data will be released, and the market seems as if someone has hit the stop button—it has been consolidating
Previous value 3.5%, forecast 3.4%. This CPI will have a major impact on expectations for the Fed’s September policy. Currently, the market’s probability of a rate hike in September is roughly around 50%. If the data comes in as expected or below expectations (especially if the core month-on-month figure is weak), it may further reduce the rate-hike bets. If it is higher than expected, it could reignite hawkish discussions
Gold is also nearly at the end of its rebound—preparing to short at 4500

I’ve noticed many people find resonance in this article. Let me explain to everyone how to become a trader.
If all the following conditions can be met, don’t rush to quit your current job yet. Only consider resigning once your trading income can fully cover your job income—and even exceed expectations.
The path to trading doesn’t really have much to do with whether you majored in finance. Everyone can open the platform and choose to go long or short. The key difference is this: one side thoroughly understands financial knowledge, while the other has no financial knowledge at all. The difference between them is simply how fast they lose.
I strongly advise everyone to cultivate your own trading logic before you start trading. Don’t blindly react—don’t see the market rising and automatically think it will keep going up, and don’t see it falling and rush to go short. For example, during a period of rapid upward movement, if you can stay calm and think through whether this rally is the main wave, or whether the main players are pushing up to trap people. The reason most retail traders do poorly is that they can’t control their emotions.
If you completely don’t understand trading, you can go on YouTube to watch analyses from other finance bloggers. At the very least, you’ll gain an understanding of that day’s market. When you don’t have trading opportunities, learn the financial market (price action). You don’t need to learn too much—focus on mastering one skill. I’ve seen people who learned naked candlesticks, harmonic patterns, charts, and Chan theory—and the result was that they learned everything but nothing deeply; they ended up being good at nothing.
First practice hard skills, then cultivate your mindset. At the beginning, it’s impossible to say that you’re already cultivating your mindset. I’ve seen too many people die by their mindset—including myself. When trading, not setting a stop-loss, stubbornly holding on because you think it will come back—this is pushing yourself step by step toward the abyss.
Wait until you can handle times when the market becomes extremely volatile, when your account swings dramatically up and down. Then you can hold your nerve, stay calm, analyze the market, and execute your own strategy—not be led around by the market like a puppet.

Many people today want to become professional traders. Let me explain something to everyone.
This article is just a beginning. I won’t teach you any technical analysis or trading knowledge, because those things all require you to experience and truly understand for yourself. There are a thousand people and a thousand methods; my personal trading logic may not fit you as well. Of course, if what I say is not right, I welcome everyone to come and exchange ideas.
First of all, if you want to become a trader, the number one thing you need to ensure is that even if you trade for five years and get nothing, you won’t starve. Your daily life should continue as normal. That’s the most basic requirement. And being a trader is not as comfortable as many people think. What you have to face is the brutality of the financial markets—and human nature.
Greed, anger, ignorance, and slow judgment—these are all things we are born with. Don’t think you can avoid them, because this is human nature. What we need to do is figure out how to restrain ourselves and avoid these problems. Some people just can’t do it well; the biggest example is greed.
You must definitely cultivate your sensitivity to the market and develop logical thinking. Thinking determines actions, and actions determine results. Trading itself is simply using lower-priced capital to sell at higher levels. Sounds simple, right? But in practice, it’s not simple at all.
Also, you must pay close attention to the purchasing power of real money. Don’t think that because it’s just a number, it doesn’t matter. Numbers can be lost completely in a day. What you truly need to do is: the money you earn should be able to cover your normal expenses within a day, and then gradually grow. Wanting to eat your fill in one bite from the financial markets is impossible. There may be exceptions, but without doubt they will end up losing everything back.
Because they can earn in a single day what would take a year’s salary at a job. Tell me—wouldn’t that make them get carried away?
If you still want to know more, in my next post I’ll explain how to truly become a trader.

Just saw that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has approved it: U.S. stock trading will move to a 23-hour schedule starting December 6, 2026! It will be paused on weekends.
Five days a week, 23 hours per day. Eastern Time runs from 9:00 PM on Sunday to 8:00 PM on Friday.
NYSE Arca, which is owned by NYSE, is also pushing for a similar nearly 23-hour trading structure: Day session: 4:00 AM–8:00 PM Eastern Time (integrating the existing pre-market, regular, and after-hours trading; regular trading still opens at 9:30 and closes at 16:00).
1-hour market break: 8:00 PM–9:00 PM Eastern Time, for system clearing, data processing, corporate action handling, and maintenance.
Night session (newly added): 9:00 PM–4:00 AM Eastern Time. This is still a bit away from the 24/7 cycle for crypto, because we still have breaks on weekends and holidays. For people in China, this should be a good thing—at least you won’t need to stay up late to buy U.S. stocks anymore. Trading Nasdaq-listed stocks and ETFs during the day is much better. For A-shares, it’s still the home market. After all, there are only about 4 hours of “losing time” in a day.
The newly released nonfarm data is somewhat interesting. I originally thought it wouldn’t come in above expectations, but it pulled a big move instead—reducing by 23,000 directly, and the unemployment rate fell to 4.1%, the lowest point in the past 14 months. Employment momentum has clearly slowed, directly weakening expectations for further rate hikes. The Fed meeting in September is very likely to keep interest rates unchanged. As for rate cuts this year, they probably won’t happen.
Regarding how U.S. stocks performed after the evening market open, also, gold has broken through a key resistance level. It may very well push toward the price of 4,500.
Teeth opened with luck! Just after I said the price was still fluctuating here for a day, it immediately jumped up.
$BTC —still watching around the 64k area. Long positions ready to get unstuck and take profit. This market is really hard to deal with.
And with a market like this, you can’t open a big position either. It’s pretty frustrating.

So disgusting market—last night I laid in wait for a long position of $ETH . This morning when I woke up, I saw it rise at 5 o’clock and quickly drop back. Now I’m at my cost price. Up, down, up, down—buying and selling to absorb long and short orders. I entered the trade.
Ever since it rose from July 21 at 66.5k, to now it has been consolidating for 12 days. The market’s open positions have decreased by a third. I also found out that most of the groups aren’t even discussing market moves anymore; instead, they’re waiting to buy the spot after a big drop.
I think tonight it will follow the US stock market and rise, but it won’t rise too much—around 64k is about the maximum upside space. It will start moving downward from there. If my positions rise tonight, then I’ll have to run. This is such a disgusting market. If I don’t trade, then I won’t be wrong. Otherwise, just like before, one trade and then a wrong one—doing it single-handedly, wrong again.

Yesterday I felt it was going to go up, so I opened a fake copy—only it rose by 2–3%...
My assets... all my money went back into holding in US stocks again. The drop from the previous few days came back for more than half overnight. People who were still shouting that they were trapped a few days ago probably fell asleep smiling yesterday. Unfortunately, I had a very low position and got washed out a bit too early.

Went long yesterday with a narrow stop loss, and I got stopped out. Today it’s back to square one. Going long on SOL and SUI seems pretty strong, so I’ll try a bit more to test the waters.

$BTC morning upward trend 65.8k is about to happen, and it's exactly the channel midline position. Take partial profit at this point, and see if it can reach 67.3k.

$BTC Still hasn’t broken through in one go. On top of that, there’s 67k worth of sell pressure—so the bulls can’t push it up. That leaves only a downward move. The market is exactly retracing back to the lower edge of the channel for consolidation. The 4-hour support is at 63.8k. The rally from Saturday and Sunday is very likely to continue into Monday’s session.
I think it’s possible to set up a long position in advance! Targeting 65.8k

$BTC Highest price 66.9k—just a little short of my target of 67.3k. Before 10 a.m., the market was still rising. But now, when I look back at all financial products—crypto (especially BTC), U.S. stocks, and gold—they almost all dropped at the same time, as if planned. Funds really did flee at once.
I saw a piece of news: “Reportedly, BOJ officials believe the recent weakness of the yen poses an upside inflation risk.”
From a macro perspective, the yen’s long-term weakness has already touched 40-year lows. If yen weakness is viewed as an inflation risk, it’s very possible they will intervene in the market or even hike rates further. Once expectations of yen appreciation strengthen, the yen that fled overseas earlier will likely be pulled back into Japan again. Then financial markets would face another round of selling pressure.
As long as these three factors occur together—(1) the U.S. dollar strengthens, (2) yields rise, and (3) the yen—coordinated sell-offs are very likely.
U.S. stocks: The semiconductor sector (Micron, AMD, etc.) has shown a clear rebound. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq were stronger during some periods, but overall they’re still undergoing high-level sideways consolidation.
Gold: It’s in a pullback channel, and in the short term it’s being suppressed by the dollar and yields.
Crypto: BTC has been fluctuating between $600,000 and $680,000. In July there has been some rebound, but it’s still affected by macro pressure.
That said, overall crypto during this period has been pretty decent on the rise. The sell pressure above 67.3k is also real—especially because after this recent drop, this is only the second time we’ve come back to 67.3k. The best outcome would be a clean breakout. But if it can’t break through, you can always flip and short!
Gold looks like it’s going to bounce too! The price at around 4000 has been ranging for so long without breaking below it. In the short term, look at 4200 first.
