Eight years ago, I took 5,000 yuan from Fujian to Hangzhou. No one believed I could survive.

Now I own three apartments in Hangzhou, with over 50 million in my account, and I wake up naturally every day. A few days ago, a brother from Shanghai came specifically to ask: Brother He, how did you turn your net worth into this?
I said: I don’t watch news, don’t gamble on news, and don’t follow K-line charts. Surviving 8 years in the crypto world isn’t luck; it’s a set of “stupid methods” that most people look down on. The following six trading iron rules are what I’ve gained through 8 years and millions of real money—understand just one, avoid losing 100,000 on three, and you can beat 90% of retail investors.
1. Don’t panic during rapid rises and slow declines. After a quick surge, a slow decline is market manipulation, don’t rush to sell. But beware of flash crashes after volume spikes—those are market makers trapping more buyers to sell off.
2. Don’t try to bottom out during rapid declines. A slow rebound after a big drop is often a trap to lure more buyers; don’t believe “the bottom is in.” Market makers never show mercy.
3. Recognize risk at the top by volume. Continued high-volume oscillations at high levels might still have a chance to push higher; but if trading volume suddenly shrinks and the market cools down, a crash is imminent.
4. Watch for sustained volume at the bottom. A single day of huge rebound volume is usually a trap; only after consolidation with decreasing volume followed by steady, gentle increases is it a real sign of market makers building positions.
5. Volume hides emotional signals. The core of crypto trading is emotional manipulation; trading volume reflects market consensus. Candlestick charts are just surface; volume is the key.
6. “Wu” (nothing) mentality in trading. Without obsession, you can hold cash and wait for opportunities; without greed, you avoid chasing highs; without fear, you dare to position during panic. This is the psychological threshold of top traders.
The crypto world is never short of opportunities; what’s lacking is disciplined hands and understanding the big picture. I only do real trading, not virtual. For friends who want to stay grounded, avoid pitfalls, and earn steadily, don’t walk in the crypto world alone in the dark. $BTC
