The day my account showed 540,000 U, I held my phone and stared at it for a long time.

I wasn't excited. Instead, I thought back to 2020:

$5,000, a rented room, and a computer lagging so badly it was like a slideshow.$BTC

It wasn't that I didn't work hard. I just had no rules—chasing when prices rose, holding on when they fell, going wild over a small gain and getting shaky over a small loss.

By now, I've managed to do just one thing: keep my hands in check.

Candlesticks are the skin; volume is the bones.$ETH

When prices grind up slowly, don't rush in; after a high-volume surge followed by a sharp drop, don't indulge in wishful thinking; don't rush to buy the dip during a steep fall; low volume at the highs is the scariest thing; one big bullish candle at the lows doesn't mean much—you need to see whether money keeps flowing in.

What really trips people up is delaying stop-losses and getting itchy fingers when out of the market.

It's not that many people don't understand. They act before the signal is confirmed.$ZEC

My biggest change comes down to one thing:

When it's time to stay put, I can really stay put. If I understand what I'm seeing, I trade; if I don't, I don't. I'd rather miss a move than make a bad trade.

Jumping into a trade on impulse or adding to a position as soon as things crash—the market isn't out to get you; you just have no rules.@BTC梵昕
