After eight years in the circle, I have discovered a truth: it is far easier to let funds work for you than to chase the market.

He entered the game at the age of 30 and is now 38. Coming down this road, the biggest realization is not that the technology is good, but that the mentality should be stable. In the two years from 2023 to 2024, I filled in all the holes I had stepped on before, and the book numbers finally allowed me to sleep peacefully.

Some people always like to ask: What exactly is trading for? My answer may disappoint you - seven-point mentality, three-point technique.

Let's talk about a few iron laws that have been explored in recent years:

BTC is always a bellwether. ** When it rises, the copycat has a chance to follow the trend; It fell, and small currencies basically had no way to survive. ETH occasionally goes on its own, but don't expect other coins to withstand the market crash.

**ETH and USDT are natural hedging relationships. **Remember: BTC is often under pressure when USDT strengthens; When BTC rises fiercely, it is safe to hoard stablecoins.

The time window is critical. **
It is easy to have extreme pins from 0 to 1 a.m., hang up the order before going to bed, and often pick up leaks;
6-8 o'clock in the morning is a barometer of the trend throughout the day - it fell in the first half of the night, and it is still falling now? There is a high probability that it will rebound on the same day, and you can consider covering your position; Rising in the first half of the night and still rising in the early morning? Be careful, there will be a callback most of the day.

**Don't get distracted at 5 p.m. **Due to the time difference, American funds entered the market at this time, and the fluctuations were the most violent.

As for the term "Black Friday", I think it's a bit metaphysical. Friday fell and rose, the key depends on the news and capital flow.

**The most practical one:** As long as it is not an air coin, there is a target with real trading volume, don't panic if it falls. Three to five days, a month at most, can always come back. If you have extra money, you can replenish the warehouse in batches to share the low cost, and if you don't have extra money, you can wait patiently, which is not a big problem.

My own most satisfying amount: 0.085 DOGE, which has increased more than 20 times so far. Patience sometimes works better than any technical indicator.
