#加密生态动态追踪 Over the years, from munching pickled vegetable instant noodles to reaching an 8-figure account, the most profound lesson I've learned is: the crypto market doesn't feed on passion, only discipline.



Back then, I went all-in and wiped out, owing 1.09 million. Friends advised me to leave the scene, but I instead sank deeper. It wasn't until one night that I finally understood—making money has never been about one big move, but about surviving. Survive, and you'll have the next opportunity.

**Markets have cycles, and trading has windows**

It took me years to realize that 90% of newcomers lose money not because they choose the wrong coins, but because they pick the wrong times.

The Asian session is a confusing signal mess, with weekly dramas of earning 50,000 in the morning and exploding for 100,000 in the afternoon. There are only two real trading windows:

One is the US market night attack (9 PM to 1 AM), when institutions like Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan enter, and the K-line trend is shockingly clean. The other is the data window around 3 AM on Thursdays, with the 15 minutes after the Federal Reserve data release being the golden time for market takeoff—last year, I made 23 trades in this window, winning 19.

**Don’t misuse indicators; systems are the key**

MACD golden and death crosses have been overused repeatedly. I use the “Minus Three Golden Cross” strategy—don't go full position at the first or second cross, wait for the third. Last year's BTC rally was driven by this move, allowing me to capture the entire upward move.

RSI isn’t about the value itself, but about trend lines. When the 4-hour chart breaks above a downtrend line and volume suddenly doubles, that’s a sign of a surge. There’s also a less common parameter combo (setting 13.7 on a 15-minute chart can anticipate trend changes 6 hours in advance—needs testing on your part).

**Stop-loss determines how long you survive**

Fixed 3% stop-loss? You might as well wait to be wiped out. I use the stop-loss anchor method: in a bull market, place the stop below the previous low at 0.618; in a bear market, use ATR-based dynamic stops. The result? During last year's crash, I lost at most 1.8%.

Honestly, all strategies ultimately serve one goal: to keep you alive. Candlesticks are cold, but the right method keeps you warm. If you’re still frequently stopping out and doubting yourself, when the real market arrives, chances are you'll still miss out.

This guy is right, being alive is truly the top priority. I also went into a depression last year after being stopped out repeatedly, and I later realized that frequent stop-losses are like self-sabotage.

Damn, this is the realization I had during my worst loss last year: being alive is a thousand times more important than making money.

Wow, living is winning already. From a debt of 1.09 million to an 8-figure amount... this mindset shift is the most valuable lesson.

1.09 million debt instead keeps sinking deeper... this is the true gambler's mentality, surviving and coming out alive is also a win. Wait, was the overnight attack during the US session real or not? 23 wins and 19 losses? That data sounds like a dream. I haven't heard of the stop-loss anchor method, but then again, those who can stick to a 3% stop-loss have already beaten most new rookies. Discipline is easy to talk about but hard to practice. Only those who survive are the real experts.

This guy is right, being alive is really the top priority, more important than any strategy. --- I was also watching that during the US market hours, but I kept getting itchy to place orders early and ended up getting wiped out. --- The stop-loss anchor point method sounds good, but in practice, it's still easy to be influenced by emotions, right? --- Being able to climb out of a 1.09 million trap shows strong mental resilience. --- Just asking, can the parameter combination at 13.7 really sense the change 6 hours in advance? Seems a bit exaggerated. --- Frequent self-doubt really hit me; I've been like this lately. --- Not choosing coins but timing the market sounds simple, but actually doing it is really difficult.
