Ten years ago, I entered the crypto world with 180,000 yuan I saved from working odd jobs. Now? My account sits at over 80 million.

I don’t touch contracts, only spot trading. That’s right, I’m not the protagonist of those “turn 10,000 into 1 billion” legends, but honestly—it’s enough. Year-end goal? Break 100 million. Not to show off, but to have more ammo for next year’s trades.

**The most important thing in this business isn’t technique, it’s mindset**

When the market crashes, I won’t stare at the screen until 3 a.m.; when it soars, I know “if you don’t sell, it’s just a number.” I still remember when I first got in—I had insomnia every day, and the first thing I did when I woke up at midnight was check the prices. Now? I sleep when I should, eat when I should.

To put it simply, making money relies on having your own set of rules—and sticking to them no matter what. That alone knocks out 70% of people in the market.

**Back to the point: How do you play range trading?**

Last time, we talked about what a “trading range” is and how it forms. Today, let’s get straight to the practical stuff—how to find opportunities within a range.

Let’s start with a common rookie mistake: **randomly looking for signal candles**.

Here’s an example: a 30-minute gold chart. There’s a clear swing resistance level up ahead—the previous high. So what’s the situation? The price has already moved more than 150 points away from that high...

(The market has already drawn the boundaries for you; what you need to do is wait for it to hit the wall, not chase after it. Next time, I’ll break down the specific logic for entry points.)
