Three years ago, I could only squat in a rented apartment, surviving the whole day with just two steamed buns, a bit of pickled vegetables, and tap water in the morning.

After three years of trading crypto, I lost all my savings and was saddled with 2.15 million in debt. Back then, I thought I was completely finished.

But today, there's a Maybach parked in my garage and a seven-figure balance in my account. It's not luck, nor talent, but a survival logic I call the "fool's method" that got me here.

Many people think making money relies on talent, insider info, or even a bit of gambling instinct. But in my view, the only thing that really gets you to the end is this: survive.

I've reflected on countless failures and discovered an iron rule: Breakouts during the Asian session are nine times out of ten a trap.

So many people make 50,000 in the morning, only to get liquidated for 100,000 in the afternoon.

There are only two real windows for steady profits—the US session night raid and the Federal Reserve sneak attack.

From 9pm to 1am, as soon as the Wall Street giants enter, the candlesticks look as if they've been ironed flat—clean, decisive moves. And the data releases every Thursday at 3am are often the purest money-making opportunities.

As for indicators, I don’t use those so-called universal strategies out there.

I only rely on combinations I've refined myself:
MACD triple golden cross below zero, RSI breaking above the downtrend line with volume expansion, unique 15-minute chart signals…
Outsiders don’t understand them, but these setups let me steadily capture several major trending moves each year.

Stop-loss is even more crucial. The market loves to hunt those rigid 3% stop-loss points.

I switched to dynamic methods: for longs, holding at the Fibonacci level; in a crash, I rely on ATR volatility stops.

This one trick alone saved me seven times last year, letting me survive until the real bull market broke out.

In the end, making money isn’t about hitting the jackpot once, but about escaping death again and again.

I always remember one thing: candlesticks are cold, but those who use the right methods always have warmth.
