There’s an old stock investor around me—Old Li. He’s been grinding through A-shares for many years and thinks he has plenty of experience.
After switching to the crypto market for just three months, he lost 30,000 U directly. $SNDK #闪迪股价涨近14%
One day, he came to me holding a bunch of loss orders, saying:
“Crypto is too hard. It looks like it’s going to rise, and you buy—then it drops. After you stop out, it rebounds. The more I do, the more I lose.”
After I looked through his trading records, I realized the real problem wasn’t the technique—it was that his thinking hadn’t been converted.
He simply brought the playbook from A-shares into crypto: he liked buying on dips, liked stubbornly holding, wouldn’t leave once it broke below the trend, and even averaged down to buy more against the trend. But the crypto market moves fast and has big fluctuations—this approach is very likely to be eliminated by the market.
Later, I helped him adjust his trading logic again. After 12 days, his account gradually returned to normal.
Here are a few truly important trading principles in the crypto market:
First, strong rallies followed by slow pullbacks—trade the trend.
A slow retracement after an up move isn’t necessarily the end. As long as the structure hasn’t broken, don’t easily get shaken out.
Second, sharp sell-offs followed by weak rebounds—be cautious.
After a big drop, if there isn’t support from incoming capital, it’s often not an opportunity—it’s a risk.
Third, heavy volume near the high doesn’t necessarily mean the top.
The real danger is when, after the volume spike, price continues to weaken.
Fourth, sustained heavy volume at the bottom is more reliable than a single-day abnormal move.
When capital keeps entering, it’s what truly suggests a trend may be forming.
Fifth, don’t only stare at indicators.
Price can lie. Volume, capital flows, and overall market sentiment matter more.
Sixth, the biggest ability of高手 (top traders) is waiting.
Don’t rush, don’t be greedy, and don’t act chaotically.
Trading isn’t about who makes more moves—it’s about who has steadier cognition and stronger discipline.
Only those who can control themselves can stay in the market long-term.
Focus on the real price action, talk only grounded trading logic, and keep sharing practical, battle-tested tips—helping you avoid traps and achieve stable compounding.
