#数字资产市场观察 I met a guy who was working in the kitchen of a chain store two years ago, working from six in the morning to eight in the evening, with a salary just enough to make ends meet. Back then, he also traded contracts, mainly relying on his instincts—rushing in whenever he saw something trending, and going "All in" following the so-called "lead in copy trading" teachers. The result, as you can imagine, was predictable.



In less than a year, not only was thousands of principal lost, but he also owed nearly twenty thousand. People around him advised him to stop, but he had a stubborn streak: since some people can make money in this market, there must be a method to follow.

Two years have passed, and his account has grown to several tens of millions. It's not relying on any advanced technology, but rather a few rough methods that he has worked hard to develop.

He values two time periods the most:

From 3 to 5 PM, when European funds enter the market, the direction is particularly clear, and false breakouts are rare, so there is no need for repeated testing.

After the non-farm payroll data is released at midnight on the first Friday of every month, the market fluctuates violently and regularly. Following the direction of the first large bullish or bearish candle, the win rate is significantly higher than usual.

By seizing these two windows of opportunity, he turned a profit last year.

In terms of technical analysis, he never looks at just one indicator, but rather uses a combination of them:

When the lower band of the Bollinger Bands tests three times consecutively but the trading volume is increasing, it often indicates that a rebound is imminent; the moment the RSI breaks through the 50 midline, it is often a signal of trend reversal; also, with the OBV (On-Balance Volume) indicator, if the price is moving sideways but the OBV is increasing in advance, it is easy to profit by positioning yourself at this time.

Last year's big market surge in Ethereum, he laid out this set of combinations two days in advance.

He also has a tip for dynamic profit-taking: in the early stages of a market rally, take half of the profits to ensure a stable mindset; for the remaining position, use a trailing stop to protect profits. As long as the trend is not broken, hold on and do not exit early.

He has a saying that I remember very clearly: "What really eliminates people is not the loss itself, but losing all the capital before understanding the rules. Market opportunities are always there; the key is to stay alive until that opportunity comes."

This market is indeed hard to navigate, but those with methods can always find their way.

This guy is indeed ruthless, from being in debt to tens of millions, the key is that he survived and waited for the opportunity. You only understand the rules after suffering a loss once, I have to admit this. The window period from three to five in the afternoon is indeed clear, and I'm also pondering over this. The US Non-farm Payrolls (NFP) wave, I followed it once last year and made nearly double, now I don't dare to touch it anymore, haha. The combination of Bollinger Bands and OBV sounds simple, but doing it is another matter; the mentality is the hardest part. I'm a bit curious about how he got through those two years of psychological construction, after all, going from owing twenty thousand to turning things around... Contracts are like this, those who make money are always talking about methods, while those who lose only remember luck.

Wow, this story is a bit absurd, going from debt to tens of millions in two years? No matter how nicely you put it, it doesn't change the fact that this is a gambler's mentality, brother. If there were really patterns in US Non-farm Payrolls (NFP) data, big institutions would have already cleaned it out. I've used the Bollinger Bands and RSI combination before, but the key is still psychological preparation; most people can't last until that moment. This kind of motivational talk is the most toxic; it makes people want to try their luck. Those who truly make money wouldn't be telling stories here. The saying about waiting for opportunities is true, but the premise is that you need to have the capital to stay alive. Stop-loss is really more important than any indicator; I've seen too many people who are trapped. It feels like survivor bias; no one talks about those who lost everything.

This story sounds a bit ridiculous, huh? From the kitchen to a k-level account? The key is that this guy actually lived to seize the opportunity.
