Having been involved in the crypto asset market for over a decade, my deepest realization is: this is not a gamble, but a battle that requires discipline and a systematic approach.

Recalling the end of 2014, I entered the market with 100,000 yuan full of hope, only to see my account shrink by 80% within half a year. That feeling still gives me chills when I think about it. But it was precisely this painful lesson that made me seriously ponder a question: why can some people achieve consistent profits, while most end up becoming the market’s ATM?

The answer is actually simple—most people treat trading as guessing the size. They rely on gut feelings to make moves, listen to rumors to chase rallies and sell-offs, and FOMO into trades when they see others making money. This kind of approach, the market has long prepared an exit for these people.

And those who truly survive in this market, without exception, follow the same principle: Rules + Execution. It sounds cliché, but that’s the whole secret. Over the past ten-plus years, I’ve stepped on more pitfalls than I’ve made money, and these lessons have gradually helped me build a complete trading framework, ultimately transforming from losses to steady profits.

Many people are stuck on a key issue for years without breakthrough—the understanding of trading levels and cycles. It sounds like nonsense, but 99% of failures are rooted here.

There’s an old saying: "Weak water, three thousand gallons, I only take a ladle." Literally, it means there’s so much water in the world, but you only need a ladle. The deeper meaning is that in the endless choices of life, stay clear-headed and focus on what truly matters.

The same logic applies to trading: the market is constantly creating opportunities, and price fluctuations are everywhere. But the traders who truly make money are not chasing every opportunity; they precisely identify their own track, and establish advantages at specific cycles and levels.
