#美SEC促进加密资产创新监管框架 In the crypto market, survival is more important than anything else. When the bull market comes, you need to have chips in hand, otherwise, you'll just watch opportunities slip away.

I got into this game at 24, now I'm 35. From 2021 to 2023, my account balance has reached eight figures. Compared to my peers doing traditional business, my life is definitely a lot easier.

After years of ups and downs, I've summed up 8 practical tips that I still use today:

First, let's talk about BTC. It's the baton for the entire market. ETH occasionally breaks out and goes its own way, but most other altcoins have to follow BTC's rhythm—there are almost no exceptions to this rule.

Now, the relationship between BTC and USDT. They move in opposite directions: when USDT's price goes up, BTC is likely to go down; when BTC is pumping, that's actually a good time to move funds into USDT.

Timing windows are key. The most likely time for flash wicks is between midnight and 1am, so before bed, I always set my orders in advance, with prices set for low buys and high sells. Sometimes, I wake up and find my orders have been filled overnight.

I use the 6am to 8am period to judge the day's trend. The logic is simple: if it's been dropping from midnight to 6am and still dropping during this window, it will most likely rise that day—consider entering or adding to your position. If it's been rising since midnight and still rising in this window, it will probably retrace that day—time to exit.

Be careful around 5pm, because of the time difference, that's when the US market opens, and sudden spikes or crashes often happen at this point.

The so-called "Black Friday"—there have indeed been a few big crashes on Fridays in history, but it's not always reliable. Treat it as a supporting signal, not your main basis for judgment.

For coins with good liquidity and high trading volume, as long as they haven't turned into dead projects, you don't need to panic when they drop. I've seen it so many times: the quick ones recover in three or four days, the slowest maybe a month. If you have extra USDT, average down in batches—usually the rebound is pretty fast. If you don't have extra USDT, just wait it out.

Finally, about spot trading. The less you mess around, the more you make. Frequently doing short-term trades on the same coin usually earns you less than just holding onto it.
