How much do you need to earn to truly stabilize your mindset?
After so many years of trading, I’ve seen too many people flipping wildly in the market. Honestly, there’s no insider information, and I didn’t catch any particularly exaggerated trends; I’ve just relied on a relatively stable trading logic to gradually grow my account from the initial stage to its current size.
Ultimately, it all comes down to one belief—treat trading as a game, stay patient, and steadily hone your market feel. Over the years, I’ve stepped on pitfalls and gained insights, so I’ve整理ed them today:
**Rapid Gains and Slow Drops, Mostly in Shakeouts**
The market surges quickly and then begins to gradually decline. This rhythm is usually when the big players are slowly accumulating. Don’t rush to run; the true top appears when a sharp drop signals a major decline.
**Slow Rebound After a Crash, Most Dangerous**
Sudden flash crashes followed by a sluggish climb. At this point, don’t think it’s a chance to scoop up bargains; it’s mostly the tail end of distribution. Those who think "it’s fallen so much, what else can happen" are most likely to get trapped.
**High Volume at High Levels Means Hope, No Volume Means Danger**
If there’s still trading volume at high levels, it indicates a possible push; but if volume suddenly disappears at high levels, it’s a sign of imminent collapse.
**Consistent Volume at the Bottom**
A spike in volume for a day or two might just be诱导. But if volume persists for several days, it indicates real funds are building positions.
**K-line is the Result, Volume Shows Sentiment**
Looking at K-lines only shows what has happened in the past. Trading volume reflects the true market sentiment. No volume means no interest; rising volume means funds are entering.
**Only Those Who Know How to Hold Cash Can Operate Steadily**
Don’t be obsessive; rest when needed. Don’t be greedy; act when the opportunity arises. Stabilize your mindset first, and your feel and operations will naturally improve.
The crypto market indeed offers many opportunities, but what’s truly scarce is those who can control their hands and see the bigger picture clearly. Often, it’s not that you’re slow, but that the entire process feels like摸索 in the dark.
The current market rhythm is actually a good time to test and adjust your trading system. Whether you’re a beginner or a veteran, reviewing these volume signals can often help you avoid many pitfalls.

Exactly right, but the execution phase has trapped a bunch of people.

That's right, but execution is too difficult. I can always see the right direction, but I just can't control my hands.

That's a good point, but I think whether the mindset is stable or not mainly depends on whether the account size can withstand the drawdown.

That's right, staying out of the market is the hardest lesson to learn.

That's right, mindset is really not something that can be built with money.
But to be honest, I think this set of theories is still a bit idealistic for retail investors... The volume signals look good, but when it comes to the actual market, it's still easy to get cut.
If you could make money just by looking at volume, there would already be only experts, right?
