$SUI has been traded for three years. I turned an initial 10,000 U into 810,000 U. There was no inside information support, nor did I catch a particularly crazy market trend. Honestly, it’s about finding a decent method and then continuously executing it for a full 1095 days.
To be honest, the biggest gain isn’t seeing the account balance grow beautifully, but gradually understanding a principle: this market isn’t about who is lucky, but about constantly cleaning out those without discipline. The trends of $ZBT and $WIF also confirm this.
Over three years of repeated losses, reflection, and adjustment, I’ve summarized five underlying trading logics.
**First: After a sharp decline, a slow rebound usually indicates a shakeout rather than a top.** This is the easiest trap to fall into — prices spike up and then fall back. Many people panic and cut their losses, only for the price to go higher again. What does a truly dangerous top look like? It’s not the slow decline, but a massive surge followed by a cliff-like crash. That’s when funds are fleeing, and it’s completely different from a shakeout. Distinguishing these two helps protect your profits.
**Second: After a crash, a slow rebound, don’t rush to buy the dip.** The price drops sharply and then slowly climbs, but volume doesn’t keep up. This is most likely the big players offloading, pulling the price up while selling. “It’s already fallen so much, it shouldn’t go lower,” — this kind of thinking is deadly. Big players never care about retail traders’ expectations.
**Third: At high levels, the concern isn’t volume expansion but lack of volume.** The price consolidates at high levels with obvious shrinking volume, indicating consensus is breaking down, and a decline is inevitable.
**Fourth: A single-day volume spike at the bottom is unreliable; sustained volume is the real signal.** Seeing a volume spike on a bullish candle and rushing in often traps you in a bull trap. The truly safe bottom looks like this: first, a period of decreasing volume and consolidation, then several days of gentle, sustained volume-driven rise. This shows funds are patiently accumulating.
**Fifth: The highest level of trading is called “Nothing.”** No obsession, no greed, no fear. Holding no position is never a sign of loss but a way to reserve strength for the next confirmed opportunity.
Markets are never short of opportunities; what’s lacking are traders who can stick to discipline long-term. Most people lose not because they are too slow, but because they have no direction or principles, blindly stumbling in the dark.
2. Discipline is easy to talk about, but really enduring the first wave of losses is tough—many people can't handle it, and I am one of them.
3. The last "nothing" advice is quite good, but holding an empty position really tests your mindset. Watching others rise while you just stare helplessly is a whole different story.
4. Honestly, all five logical points sound correct, but each one needs to be verified with real money—this is the most painful part.
5. The pit of confusing shakeouts with top formations is indeed deep. I've cut my losses here so many times...
6. Continuous volume increase > single-day volume spike. It sounds simple, but actually doing it requires patience. I need to think about this carefully.
7. The problem is most retail investors never get the chance to stick with it for three years; they’ve already gone all-in and exited. Being able to persevere is already a win.
8. I think I’ve been ignoring the volume dimension all along. Just looking at candlesticks isn’t enough.
9. "No obsession, no greed" makes sense, but after I hear it, I get itchy to act—that’s probably why I’ve lost money.
10. Turning 10,000 into 810,000 in three years—if I heard that on the news ten years ago, I’d believe it. Now I just want to ask how much platform fee they took.
2. Agreement is just lacking that resolve. When prices fall, you get scared; when they rise, you're afraid of missing out.
3. That "nothing" in point five really hit home. Holding no position means waiting for certainty, which is the hardest to do.
4. That's right, retail investors lose money because they buy and sell blindly, without a trading plan.
5. Executing over three years and 1095 days—that's what a real trader does, unlike us who get heart problems just from looking at K-line charts.
6. I deeply understand the point about high levels with no volume; many times I've been caught here.
7. Cliff-like plunge vs. slow decline—these two are indeed crucial differences. Lack of experience makes it hard to tell.
8. Bottom-fishing is the easiest way to get burned. Small volume during a slow rebound is a trap; lessons must be learned.
9. Discipline sounds simple but is truly a disaster to implement. I'm the one who just stumbles around blindly.
2. The breaking point is in "Accumulation vs. Sharp Drop." I used to get cut repeatedly, but now I find volume more useful than candlestick charts.
3. No obsession, no greed, no fear... Sounds like Buddhist philosophy, but actually it’s just about damn living.
4. The second point hits hard. I tend to think, "It's already fallen so much, what else can happen?" and then I get caught up to the sky.
5. Haha, 1095 days over three years isn’t just a casual number. It emphasizes execution, and honestly, not many people can hold on.
6. Regarding trading volume, many people just focus on the price and completely overlook who is actually moving it.
7. The last line really hits home... Most people don’t even know what they’re doing; they’re just blindly following the trend.
8. I agree with the idea of keeping an empty position to preserve firepower. It’s much better than being fully invested and getting wiped out.

Honestly, you still have to stick to discipline. I am too easily influenced by the market trend, and I regret it every time I cut my losses and the market rebounds.
---
The most painful part is having no obsession. I just can't sit still even with an empty position, always wanting to buy the dip.
---
The key is that this guy can stick to it for 1095 days... I started doubting my method after about half a year.
---
The sharp drop and slow rebound really hit me hard. I always think it's the bottom, but it can still fall further.
---
I've never fully understood trading volume. Next time, I'll try to observe it from this perspective.
---
Watching my account grow from 10,000 to 810,000... the pressure... what kind of mental strength does it take to execute like that?

Five simple and straightforward principles, but I'm afraid that even if I know them, I can't do them.
