Many people ask me why I can persist in the crypto world until now and even make some profits. To be honest, I am 35 years old this year, from Guangzhou, and I currently own two properties—one for my family and one for myself. If you ask me, none of this is due to insider information or luck; it’s simply because I’ve stuck to a very straightforward method.

I have been in this circle for 7 years. From an initial capital of 200,000 yuan, I’ve gone all the way to now, having stepped on 2,555 pits along the way. Someone asked me what my secret is, and my answer is always the same: the biggest enemy in trading is not the market, but the fluctuations in your own heart.

Federal Reserve data, announcements from major exchanges, large traders’ manipulations—these all seem important, but they are just surface-level stories. What truly determines whether you make money or not is whether you can control your own mind.

I want to share with everyone the 6 iron rules I’ve summarized over these 7 years. These are more practical than learning 10 technical indicators.

**Rule 1: Rapid rise but slow fall—that’s big funds building positions.** Don’t be scared by a pullback; focus on the rhythm of the rise and fall. Follow the flow of funds, and you won’t go wrong.

**Rule 2: After a sharp decline, only weak rebounds—beware of the market makers fleeing.** At this point, never think about bottom-fishing for bargains; otherwise, you’ll become the last bag-holder, stuck at a high position and unable to move.

**Rule 3: Volume at the top may indicate continued rise; no volume, then exit quickly.** Trading volume is the guarantee of a trend. A rise without volume is like a bow at its limit—inevitably, it will fall.

**Rule 4: Don’t rush to buy after a single large volume spike; sustained volume indicates consensus formation.** A single volume spike is often a trap to lure in buyers; only multiple sustained volume increases show that the market truly has consensus.

**Rule 5: Ultimately, it’s about trading emotions; volume is a mirror of consensus.** Don’t obsess over complex K-line structures; understanding market psychology is the core. Once you understand volume, you understand the trend.

**Rule 6: No thoughts, no greed, no fear—that’s how to win.** Those who can stay out of the market, wait patiently, and are not attached or greedy, are the ones qualified to profit from big trends.

Honestly, the simpler the principle of making money in the crypto world, the more effective it is. Stick to discipline, survive long enough, and wealth will come naturally.
