I am 34 years old this year, from Suzhou, now living in Wuhan. With 4 years of practical experience in the crypto circle, I have grown my assets from 190,000 yuan to 7 million yuan using a systematic trading method, without relying on news or luck. These 1460 days of accumulation have taught me many lessons, and I want to share the 6 core trading iron laws. Each one is a lesson learned the hard way, and mastering just one can help you avoid detours. If you can practice three, you will have already surpassed most retail investors.

**First Rule: Rapid rise combined with slow correction is often a disguise for the main force absorbing chips**

When you see the price quickly surge and then gradually fall back, many people panic and rush to cash out profits. In fact, this pattern is mostly a shakeout, where the main force is dumping floating chips. The real situation to watch out for is the opposite—after a volume-driven rapid increase, a sudden plunge, which is a classic trap to lure in late buyers, causing them to chase the top.

**Second Rule: Rapid decline followed by slow rebound is a signal of the main force leaving the market**

If the price drops sharply and then shows a slow rebound, don’t think "it’s fallen so much, I can bottom fish." This is often the last chance for a trap, and a bottom-fishing mentality can easily get you caught at a high. The lack of momentum in the rebound indicates that market consensus is beginning to break down.

**Third Rule: Don’t fear volume when at the top, fear when trading volume dries up**

When the price reaches a high level, if the trading volume continues to gently increase, it suggests there’s still room for a push higher, and the bulls still have strength. But if the volume at the high point shrinks significantly and the market becomes dead, be cautious—risk of a crash lurks in this silence.

**Fourth Rule: Single volume spikes at the bottom are traps; continuous volume increases are the real signal**

Occasional volume surges at the bottom are often traps set by the big players to lure retail investors into following. The real reliable sign of accumulation is after a period of sideways consolidation with decreasing volume, followed by several days of gentle, continuous volume increase. That’s when the main force is quietly building positions.

**Fifth Rule: The essence of the crypto market is emotional trading; trading volume is a mirror of sentiment**

Many people stare at candlestick charts all day, thinking they can read something from the candles. In reality, the most important thing to watch is the change in trading volume. Volume reflects the true consensus of the market, while price movements are just an external manifestation of that consensus. Divergence between volume and price often signals an impending change in direction.

**Sixth Rule: The highest realm of crypto trading is the "Four Nos"**

No obsession—only then can you calmly wait in cash;
No greed—only then will you avoid blindly chasing high and getting trapped;
No fear—only then will you dare to act decisively when opportunities truly arise;
No illusions—only then can you face the market’s brutality rationally.

This is not a passive Zen attitude but the most hardcore trading mindset and the fundamental guarantee for earning stable profits.

Over four years of real trading, I only trade on real accounts, never playing virtual. If you also want to avoid pitfalls and steadily grow your assets in the crypto world, instead of struggling in the dark alone, it’s better to find a reliable logical framework and execute it systematically. Only then can you minimize luck factors and make your profits more predictable.
