I am often asked how I turned 30,000 USDT into 2 million USDT in just three years. Many people expect to hear thrilling trading stories, but my answer may disappoint them: my secret to success is continuous refinement.

In the summer of 2019, I made a significant decision. I cleared all trading groups, uninstalled all market notification software, and even deleted the trading applications on my phone. I only kept a simple trading interface on my computer and conducted market reviews three times a week. This move was jokingly referred to by my friends as 'early retirement', but in fact, it marked a turning point in my trading career.

In this way, I gradually came to realize three key truths that are often overlooked by most traders:
1. When the media generally views the market positively, the truly smart money may have already quietly exited.
2. The first rebound after a market crash is usually not the true bottom; the real opportunity may arise during the second or even third bottom.
3. Trading volume is a true reflection of the market, but the key lies in correctly interpreting the information it conveys.

On March 12, 2020, during the market crash when panic swept through the market, I wrote in my notebook: 'Stay calm in extreme fear.' I didn't rush to enter at the lowest point, but instead built my position in batches over the next two weeks. This decision allowed me to seize the best entry point of that year.

My trading strategy is very simple:
- Focus only on 3 mainstream cryptocurrencies
- The stop loss for a single trade should not exceed 5% of the principal.
- The trading frequency per week should not exceed 2 times.
- When the profit exceeds 30%, the principal must be withdrawn.

My biggest breakthrough comes from a deep understanding of 'market breathing':
- During a surge phase, one must patiently wait like a hunter for the best exit opportunity.
- In a downtrend, one must carefully search for the real support levels like a detective.
- During sideways consolidation, maintain inner peace like a Zen master and do not be deceived by false breakouts.

Last year, there was a period of four months during which my account had no activity. This was not because there were no trading opportunities, but because the opportunities at that time did not meet my trading standards. During this period, Bitcoin rose by 70%, and I completely missed that wave. However, during the subsequent significant correction, I became one of the few traders who still had funds available to average down.

Now, I still maintain 2 hours of study time every day, but the focus of my studies has shifted from technical analysis to psychology and history. Because I am well aware that the fluctuations reflected by candlestick charts are always the fluctuations of human nature.

The most ironic feature of this market is that the more one pursues quick profits, the harder it becomes to survive in the market; conversely, the more one is able to patiently wait, the more likely opportunities will come knocking. Reducing the time spent staring at the market and increasing the depth of thought, while only participating in market trends that one truly understands, is the key to long-term success.

Once, I was groping my way forward in the dark. Now, I hold a bright lamp that illuminates the road ahead. This lamp has always been there; the key is whether you are willing to follow its guidance.
