#数字资产市场动态 Why is contract trading so attractive? To put it simply, everyone has dreamed of turning things around overnight.
In 2017, I started with 10,000 yuan. Honestly, now my account holds 36 million. But this isn’t due to insider information, nor do I sit in live streams listening to calls every day. It’s a bit embarrassing to say, but I used the simplest, most straightforward approach—living through time and discipline to get here.
I’ve been liquidated, forced to unwind positions, and woken up in the middle of the night sweating more times than I can count. The more pitfalls I’ve stepped into, the more I’ve paid in tuition, the clearer I’ve seen the true face of the market. Over the years, I’ve summarized a few bottom lines: understanding each one can save you from unnecessary losses; mastering more than three can help you avoid most of the market traps.
**Rapid Rise, Slow Fall—Don’t Rush to Flee** This kind of movement is often not a top signal; it’s usually the market maker quietly accumulating. The real warning signs are the opposite—sharp surges with suddenly increased volume, followed by a sudden dump. That’s the signal that the harvest is beginning. Just look at the historical trends of coins like $ZEC to understand.
**Rapid Drop, Slow Rise—Be Cautious When Bottom-Fishing** The small rebound after a flash crash is 90% a smokescreen before the main players unload. Many people are fooled by the illusion of “it’s not falling anymore,” but in reality, the market’s most ruthless tactic is to target this kind of lucky psychology.
**High Volume at a High Price Isn’t Always Bad; No Volume Is More Dangerous** Trading volume indicates there are still players betting and stories continuing; if there’s no volume, it’s basically the main players finishing their wash and leaving, leaving behind only scattered remnants.
**Volume at the Bottom Doesn’t Need to Be Rushed; Can It Continue?** A single day’s huge volume might be a trick, not a true signal of initiation. The real reliable sign is a steady, unhurried increase in volume, especially after a long consolidation, when suddenly the volume spikes—that’s when the main players are truly starting to build positions.
**Candlesticks Are Just the Surface; Trading Volume Is the Backbone** The rise and fall of coin prices ultimately mirror market sentiment. Learning to read the logic behind volume is the real key to understanding the market.
**The Most Important Lesson Is Learning to 'Let Go of Yourself'** Without obsession, you can stay calm; when it’s time to exit, just do it—sometimes for months. Without greed, you know when to take profits; without fear, you dare to act decisively at the right moment. Honestly, controlling your emotions is much harder than understanding a market trend.
This is my experience from years of ups and downs. Real trading, no gimmicks. If you want to avoid detours and make steady money in the crypto world, it’s better to find the right approach and follow the right rhythm than to guess blindly.

36 million? Really... If that's true, I would resign right now.

Making money through discipline, it sounds easy but it's hard to do
---
36 million sounds great, but who understands the days of empty positions for months
---
You're right about trading volume; too many people focus on K-line charts and ignore the volume
---
The phrase "short yourself" hits hard; I died from greed
---
Entering in 2017 and still holding now, that's already winning more than most people
---
The worst thing is those "opportunities" of flash crashes and rebounds; I fall for them every time
---
You're right, but in practice, it's still easy to get everything mixed up

Live to 36 million through discipline—that's the real deal
Greed in people's hearts, the hardest part is those few months of holding cash
Volume is the real thing; candlestick charts are just a facade
I've also fallen into traps, now I only trust trading volume
Taking profits when the market looks good has saved me multiple times
You're right, controlling emotions is a hundred times harder than analyzing charts
Only those who ignore call signals like this can survive until now
Wait... wait... wait... the most frustrating words are these two

I'm a bit tired of this kind of rhetoric
It's always about the discipline of staying out of the market for months, or understanding the tricks of the big players... I ask, why is it that the post-hoc experts always seem so confident
Can time and discipline really make 36 million? Then have I been wasting my life these past few years
Honestly, I can't believe it. Unless there's a signal to follow

Really, discipline is a hundred times harder than technique.
To be honest, what I fear most is those false signals of flash crashes followed by rebounds, someone always falls for it.
30 million sounds tempting, but the price is cold sweats at 3 a.m.—is this deal worth it?
Can you really stay out of the market for months? I definitely can't sit still.
Trading volume is indeed the key, but most people simply don't understand the logic behind it.
I won't even touch coins with no volume; it's too easy to get trapped.
Shorting myself... sounds easy, but executing it is truly hell.
After stepping on many traps, I did learn some things, but my wallet was the first to be crippled.
This wave of rapid rises and slow declines did fool me once—I thought I had caught the bottom, but it kept crashing.
Does this theory make sense? I feel like the market has changed its temper again.

Wait, 36 million? Starting from 10,000? I've heard this number too many times, haha.
Just hold the position when it's empty, easy to say, but how many can really do it?
Can't read the trading volume, no matter how fancy the candlesticks are, it's useless.
That last sentence, finding the right approach and rhythm? Basically, it's about betting on the right direction.
Time and discipline, these two words seem simple, but those who get wiped out often lose here.

Not bad, but I've heard a lot of talk, and only a few can really do it.
Sounds pretty empty; is the 3.6 million true?
Having the mental strength to stay out of the market for several months is impressive; I can't do that.
I've heard this theory at least five times; next time, bring something new.
According to your logic, why am I still losing?
The key is execution; there's an ocean between knowing and doing.
Are all those who make money this humble? Just tell me the secret.

Relying on discipline to make money really sounds... very difficult to achieve
---
30 million is easy to say, but is the position vacant? I'll fill it
---
The analogy of bones in trading volume is excellent; finally someone explained it clearly
---
Waking up in a cold sweat at 3 a.m. hit a nerve, who hasn't gone through that
---
Wait, just asking, is this theory also applicable to contracts?
---
The most interesting part is shorting oneself; easy to say, hard to do... haha
---
Honestly, no matter how clever the method, it can't beat human nature, right?
---
Holding a position for months without moving, how strong must that mindset be? I bow to you
---
Can't move down anymore, everyone who bought in must be dead by now haha
---
I just want to ask if this big shot is still active or truly in a short position state
