On October 11th last year, BTC and ETH both plummeted, and I watched my account balance drop from 3 million directly to 53,000.

Sitting in the living room at home, my legs are too weak to stand up. The phone screen lit up, and the property management sent a payment reminder: "Xiao Xi, it's time to pay the rent for this month."

In that moment, I crouched down beside the sofa, really unable to hold it in anymore. It wasn't just because of losing money, but suddenly realizing - I almost couldn't even keep this home.

That day I realized: trading cryptocurrencies is not gambling with your life, it's about leaving a way out for your family.

Since then, I have quit all those impulsive habits. I started honestly keeping a trading journal, writing down the logic behind every profitable trade and the loopholes that led to losses. I also reached out to a few old friends who had been educated by the market before, and we created a small group to supervise each other.

Everyone agreed: not to chase any hundredfold myths, but to do things that can earn money sustainably.

We changed our position management to a pyramid style, starting with 20% to test the waters, and adding more if the direction is right. Control single trade stop losses within 1%, and withdraw immediately if the market is incomprehensible. Relying on this rigid rule, we managed to withstand the triangular range fluctuations of 2023.

Later, I summarized an iron rule: when the four-hour and daily charts show a golden cross simultaneously, and the trading volume doubles compared to usual, the success rate of this resonance market can reach over 70%. Last year, I made three big trends using this.

Later on, we developed a "Volume Recognition System" - a true breakout is only considered when the price hits a new high + volume doubles + it doesn't break the key level for three days, all three conditions must be met simultaneously. We have avoided many false bullish signals.

Over the past three years, the initial dozen individuals have gradually expanded to over a thousand. From being "liquidated old retail investors," we have become a small team that hasn’t been liquidated for 28 consecutive months. Some have paid off their mortgages through stable profits, some have saved enough for their children's tuition abroad, and others have truly found their footing in the market for the first time.

Every time I think of that past version of myself who was crumpled beside the sofa, I am quite grateful for that pain - it made me realize that there are no miracles in the crypto world, only rules. True success is ensuring that my family can sleep soundly.
