Three years ago, when I brought her into the space, she only had $10,000 in principal.

She didn’t catch any crazy bull runs—just relied on a strategy that seemed clumsy but actually worked, and watched her account slowly climb to $900,000. Over 1,095 days and nights, she stuck to one principle: treat this as a game and don’t rush it.

Here are six insights earned through years of hard work. Understand one, and you'll avoid tens of thousands in losses; master three, and you'll be way more stable than those who chase pumps and dumps in the market.

**First: If it pumps hard and then grinds down slowly, someone is probably accumulating.**

After a violent pump, if it starts dropping sluggishly, don’t rush to cut your losses—this is often just a shakeout. When it really tops, it usually happens with a sudden spike in volume followed by a rapid dump that traps all the followers. Stay calm and don’t get shaken out.

**Second: If it crashes fast and rebounds slowly, be careful—someone might be quietly exiting.**

If it flash-crashes and then climbs back up slowly, don’t assume it’s a perfect bottom-buying opportunity. More likely, it’s the final blow. Thinking “it’s already dropped this much, how much lower can it go?” is the most dangerous and could lead to heavy losses.

**Third: High-volume at the top isn’t always the end—shrinking volume is the real warning.**

When there’s high volume at the top, there could still be another push up. But if the volume starts drying up, that’s basically a signal the crash is coming.

**Fourth: Don’t rush in when there’s volume at the bottom—see if it’s sustainable.**

A single volume spike at the bottom is often just “fishing”—luring retail in. If it keeps showing strong volume for a few days after some consolidation, that’s the real time to build a position.

**Fifth: Trading coins is trading psychology, and that’s all hidden in the volume.**

The candlestick chart is just the result; to understand the market, you have to watch the volume. Low volume? No one’s participating. High volume? That means real money is moving. That’s what matters.

**Sixth: “No desire” is the real skill.**

The most important thing is having no attachment. If you should be in cash, stay in cash. When opportunity comes, act decisively, take your profit, and don’t get greedy. Keep your cool, and that’s how you’ll last in this space.

These six tips seem simple but are effective. Many people like to trade frequently, jumping in and out. The most stable strategy is to take it slow, make every trade solid, and don’t be impatient.

In this market, it’s hard to go far on your own. Now there’s a path in front of us—want to walk it together?
