My name is Da Yan. I ventured alone from a small town to Shanghai. Over six years in the crypto world, I’ve experienced liquidations and debts, and I’ve steadily achieved financial freedom with less than $1,500 in capital. Looking back at 36 years, my deepest feeling is: there are no real "divine predictions" in the crypto space, only hard-earned experience accumulated through repeated falls. Those seemingly clumsy trading tactics are actually the most stable. In the past five months, I earned over 10 million using this method, with $VRA just one of the cards.
Now I own a 180-square-meter riverside apartment in Shanghai, with time belonging to myself and a peaceful mind. My six-year crypto career has taught me one truth: the true winners are not the ones who rush the fastest, but those who can stay steady and persist for the long haul.
Seven practical volume trading experiences forged with real money—each one is paid for with cash. Mastering one can reduce losses by 200,000 to 300,000, and understanding three can surpass most retail investors.
**1. Don’t ignore volume when watching coin prices** Volume is the market’s pulse; if you don’t understand volume, you’re essentially a beginner.
**2. Don’t panic after a sharp price surge and pullback** This is often the market maker absorbing positions. A truly dangerous signal is a surge in volume combined with a large bearish candle—that’s "bait for repositioning." Following the trend blindly can get you trapped.
**3. Don’t rush to buy the dip after a flash crash** That’s usually the last wave of the main players unloading. The market loves to trap those who think "it can’t go down anymore."
**4. Increasing volume doesn’t mean a top; shrinking volume is the real danger** Active trading during an uptrend indicates market enthusiasm, but quiet trading often signals an impending crash.
**5. Don’t rush into a bottom with high volume** A single day of heavy volume isn’t the true bottom. A real reversal depends on sustained consolidation—slow down and observe to see the direction clearly.
**6. The core of crypto trading is reading people’s minds** Volume reflects consensus; price is just emotion. Understanding volume gives you the rhythm.
**7. The highest level of trading is "nothing"** No greed, no fear, no rush—being able to stay in cash and wait patiently, or act decisively when needed, is what makes a master.
The winners in the crypto world are never the fastest responders, but those who can stay calm and wait. Living steadily is more important than anything else.
