Having spent 6 years in the crypto world, I have experienced unimaginable ups and downs.

During this time, I tasted the bitterest flavors—liquidation after liquidation, massive debts, collection calls day and night. There were moments when I truly felt hopeless, even contemplating the most extreme ways to escape. I watched helplessly as 100,000 USDT in principal vanished in a single day, falling from a dream back into reality in an instant.

But it was also during these 6 years that I achieved an incredible turnaround that I can hardly believe myself. Starting with only 3,000 USDT, I carefully calculated every step, eventually fighting my way up to 50 million.

I don’t want to preach or paint a big picture for you. I just want to honestly share the insights I’ve gained through tears and losses as someone who crawled out of the crypto valley:

**Small funds seek stability**: Keep the principal within 1,000 USDT; catching one big trend is enough. Greed and full positions are deadly—your capital can be wiped out in minutes.

**Top signals mean action**: If you miss a major positive event on the day it happens, sell immediately when the price opens high the next day. The moment positive news is realized is often the start of a reversal.

**News and holidays are traps**: Reduce or close positions proactively before major events; don’t be led by news. When the direction is unclear, be patient and wait for the market to clarify before following up.

**Mid- to long-term must be light**: The market is too unpredictable; heavy positions are like gambling with your life. Enter with small positions and operate steadily to survive longer.

**Short-term trading requires quick, trend-following moves**: The key to short-term trading is to follow the trend—enter quickly and exit quickly. When you see the right entry point, go in; when you profit, exit. When the market is dull, learn to hold cash and wait—this tests your patience the most.

**Volatility has patterns**: Slow rises and falls, with gentle rebounds; rapid fluctuations, with swift adjustments. Understanding this rhythm allows you to time your buy and sell more accurately. Especially for highly volatile coins like SOL, this pattern is very obvious.

**Stop-loss is the guarantee of survival**: If you enter at the wrong point or judge the wrong direction, cut your position immediately. Stop-loss is not about giving up; it’s about preserving the capital for the next opportunity. Holding on blindly will only make things worse.

Finally, I want to say that the road is still long, but as long as you are alive, opportunities are always there.
