Are you really suited to make a living by trading? Serial [5]
⑤ Only after you solve the first four questions will you truly stand at the starting line of trading
Pay attention.
What I covered earlier—
income sources, daily routine, time you can trade, trading instruments, your personal character, your trading style…
All of it is just to help you reach: the starting line.
Not the finish line.
Only after you’ve truly reached the starting line do you begin the part everyone is most familiar with:
learning.
And not learning one or two indicators;
not stopping once you know what support and resistance are.
You must first gain broad understanding of:
Scalping—very short-term trading / scalp trading: frequent trades within a very short time (seconds to minutes) to profit from small price fluctuations Day Trading: opening and closing positions on the same day, without holding overnight Swing Trading: capturing market swings over several days to a few weeks, aiming to profit from swing trends Trend Following: trading in line with the market’s main direction—for example, going long in an uptrend and short in a downtrend Breakout Trading: entering the market when price breaks through a key resistance or support level Mean Reversion: trading that assumes when price deviates from normal levels, it will return to the average value, seeking opportunities from that Technical Analysis: analyzing the market through candlesticks, indicators, volume, and price structure Fundamental Analysis: studying a project’s value—such as the team, economic data, industry development, and more Macro: macroeconomic analysis studying how the global economic environment (interest rates, inflation, the US dollar, policies, etc.) affects the market Risk Management: controlling trading risk, including stop-losses, position sizes, and capital protection Position Sizing: position management—deciding how much capital to risk or allocate to each trade based on your account size and risk Trading Psychology: managing emotions, discipline, and execution ability to prevent fear and greed from affecting your trading
Then test them one by one.
You must personally know:
what suits you. what doesn’t suit you.
This is not something others can tell you directly.

$BTC C spot ETF net outflow of $450 million, the largest since June! Tonight's Federal Reserve meeting—most of the rate-hike bearish news has already been released. So it's likely they'll pump first and then dump. Are you ready??? #美联储加息是否已成定局
The interest rate has been raised. On 2026-09-16, the U.S. Federal Reserve announced a 25 basis point (0.25%) rate increase, raising the target range for the federal funds rate to 3.75%–4.00%. The resolution was approved 12:0. The official statement emphasized that inflation is still too high—this is the first rate hike since 2023. (federalreserve.gov)
For the crypto market, rate hikes typically put pressure on high-volatility risk assets through higher risk-free rates and expectations for the dollar and liquidity. However, the immediate market reaction also depends on whether the market had already fully priced in the move, as well as subsequent policy guidance and inflation data.
🧧🎁🧧🎁🧧🎁 On September 17, the crypto industry saw multiple highly关注able sector updates and events. The core news mainly centered on regulatory roundtables, traditional financial giants entering the space, and industry summits, among other topics: 1. The U.S. SEC holds a 24-hour on-chain stock trading roundtable On September 17, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) hosted an important roundtable on “24-hour on-chain stock trading.” The meeting invited traditional financial giants such as BlackRock, Nasdaq, the New York Stock Exchange, and Robinhood, along with crypto industry participants and institutions. Key agenda: The meeting aims to discuss the rule framework for enabling U.S. equities to settle on-chain 24/7. Technology route competition: The market is currently focused on which blockchain—Ethereum or Solana—will take on the role of the primary underlying settlement infrastructure. Solana holds an advantage in terms of tokenized U.S. stock volume and low fees, while Ethereum is favored by traditional finance due to its deep institutional compliance foundation (such as BlackRock’s BUIDL fund). 2. The Fourth U.S. Crypto Banking, Compliance & Stablecoin Summit (CBC Summit USA) kicks off The 4th annual CBC Summit USA was held on September 17 at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C. Main focus: This summit brings together senior executives, regulators, and lawmakers across the industry. Key topics include crypto banking services, compliance frameworks, stablecoin development, and the deep integration of traditional finance with Web3. 3. Deeper cooperation between traditional industries and Web3 infrastructure Hyundai explores the Avalanche ecosystem: After successfully completing a pilot project, Hyundai is considering further expanding its related business and applications on the Avalanche (Avalanche Protocol) blockchain. Circle Arc mainnet goes live: Stablecoin issuer Circle’s Arc mainnet recently launched and has introduced support from payment giants such as Visa and Mastercard, injecting new momentum into the Web3 payments sector. Overall, the Web3 industry updates on September 17 show that traditional financial regulators and Wall Street capital are accelerating the process of bringing assets on-chain and strengthening compliance.

It isn’t a flood of panic to raise interest rates, but it will change the price of capital and the ranking of assets.
In a low-interest-rate environment, many assets can be supported by liquidity; once rates rise, the market will evaluate profits, valuations, and risks more seriously. For investors, what truly matters isn’t predicting every rate hike, but assessing whether the interest-rate core will remain higher for the long term—and whether corporate earnings can absorb the increase in funding costs.

$ETH is currently in a battle between bulls and bears at the crucial $2,400 threshold. In mid-September, under a dual squeeze—both the Fed’s interest-rate decision and competing capital flows—the market saw violent fluctuations. Sentiment is cautious, with investors waiting on the sidelines. 🧧🧧🧧 In the early hours of September 16, the price spiked (took a quick dip) to around $2,357 due to news, then rebounded. It is now stabilizing above $2,400, but the rebound has been weak; even the MA10 moving average has not been fully regained. Since September, ETH has mostly been trading in the $2,387–$2,615 range. The main overhead pressure is concentrated around $2,410–$2,440. Support lies at $2,370–$2,335. After breaking below the lower bound of the consolidation range dating back to August 22 on the daily chart, downside room has opened in the short term. The sharp drop is accompanied by a significant increase in trading volume, showing a volume-expansion selloff pattern.

Let’s discuss in the comments below! 👇💬 #Bitcoin #Crypto #BinanceSquare #BTC #Trading #CryptoNews #HODL $BTC $USDC
Spring, summer, autumn, and winter are full of worries over money; I roam everywhere in the four directions—east, south, west, and north. 🔥 I’ve tasted every kind of hardship in the coin world, just to never bow my head in front of people. 🔥 There is no way back in life—once the principal is gone, who can keep it? 🔥 Hoping the market will turn warm again, more take-profits and fewer worries. 🔥
$ETH The CLARITY Act vote did not pass, with 49 votes in favor and 50 against — it was 11 votes short of the 60-vote threshold.
As soon as the news came out, the overnight market got slammed. BTC briefly fell below 75,000, ETH dipped to 2,358 at its lowest, and is now barely holding around 2,400, down 4% over the past 24 hours.
Looking at ETH’s current data, both bulls and bears are in a pretty awkward spot.
Combined with the liquidation map, there’s a heavy cluster of short liquidation orders above 2,500 to 2,550, while below 2,300 to 2,350 there’s also a big pile of long positions. With the price at 2,400 now, it’s right in the middle. No matter which way it moves, there are liquidation orders waiting to be triggered, so neither side has it easy.
On top of that, the Fed’s FOMC meeting is tonight, and the Bank of Japan is on Friday. There are major risks all around. The fact that the CLARITY Act didn’t pass has clearly hurt market sentiment in the short term, and crypto-related stocks in the U.S. stock market also got hit hard across the board.
Right now, I absolutely won’t buy the dip, and I also won’t chase the short. Both going long and going short are easy ways to get whipsawed here. I’m keeping my spot holdings and doing nothing, staying flat on futures, waiting for the Fed news tonight to land and seeing how the market digests it. If ETH can climb back above 2,450, that would mean the bearish news has mostly been priced in. If it breaks below 2,350 outright, then 2,300 below really becomes dangerous.
Did you get stopped out by last night’s sharp drop? Are you staying flat and waiting, or are you planning to gamble on the FOMC? #ETH #When will the Fed cut interest rates?

“Mr. Bai, what does it take to be considered a good trader? Is it all about making a lot of money?”
I smiled: “Maybe not for sure.”
At the beginning, Lý Dương only had a few tens of thousands of dollars. He traded very carefully—if he made a profit, he felt happy; if he lost, he would look for the reasons. But when his account grew to a few hundred thousand dollars, everything gradually changed.
He traded more, with larger volumes. The profit of 5k—something that once made him happy—now felt too small. Losing 10k no longer led him to analyze; he only wanted to quickly make it back.
One day, he said: “Earlier, I traded to make money. Now I trade like I’m trying to prove that I’m right.”
I fell silent.
After that, Lý Dương started reducing the frequency and volume of his trades, pulling back some profits and spending more time on his life.
A few months later, he said: “I’m not making money as fast as before, but I sleep better.”
I thought, that’s the real maturity of a trader. Making money is a skill. Not letting money and emotions control you—that’s real class.
