Having been in this market for seven years, I started with less than $10,000 and eventually grew it to $400,000. Honestly, there are no secret weapons; I just used a set of simple, old-fashioned methods repeatedly refined, and the more I used them, the more natural they became. The core logic is actually just one thing: treat trading as a craft to improve, and don’t rely on luck to turn things around. Today, I’ll share a few brutally honest insights—just getting one of them can help you avoid pitfalls costing tens of thousands.

The key to this simple approach is understanding what the market is doing. Prices surge but rise slowly? Most likely, the big players are quietly shaking out weak hands—don’t get shaken out yourself. Conversely, if prices drop sharply but recover slowly? Nine times out of ten, they’re offloading assets. The idea that "it’s bound to rebound after such a drop" is the easiest trap to fall into. The most important thing is to watch the trading volume—volume is the true thermometer of market sentiment. If there’s still volume at the top, it means the trend isn’t over; if volume suddenly dries up at the top, that’s a real danger signal. Basically, it’s a game of human nature, and all human nature is reflected in price and volume relationships. The highest level is actually "short selling"—no obsession, clear out when it’s time, and jump in immediately when opportunities arise. This is harder to learn than any indicator, but it’s also very effective.

Once you learn to observe the market pulse, you’ll find an even more comfortable way to make money—rather than obsessing over ups and downs, why not engage with those underlying financial protocols that can reliably generate cash flow? For example, in the BNB ecosystem, similar DeFi protocols are building such systems. They don’t require you to be a market psychology expert; they give you real, tangible returns: staking BNB yields 7.2% annualized; borrowing at extremely low interest rates (many below 2%); and even connecting to real-world assets, participating directly in US Treasury yields with stablecoins (3.65%-4.71% annualized). It’s like installing a stable cash flow valve outside the turbulent trading world. Whether the market is bullish or bearish, this kind of "steady drip" income might be the most seemingly simple but resilient long-term strategy.
