Having been involved in the crypto space for five years, I have transformed from a novice overwhelmed by sudden surges and crashes into a trader who can maintain an average annual return of over 50% for three consecutive years. I'm not a big shot, but at least I am alive and still making money. Today, I’m not talking about get-rich-quick schemes, but about a few simple strategies that can truly help you survive in this market.

**First Transformation: Trade Less, Watch the Market More**

In the beginning, I was addicted to trading, eager to make moves every minute, thinking that not placing an order would mean missing out on huge opportunities. But the reality? Transaction fees ate up a large portion, and my account kept shrinking. Later, I changed my habit: I would only trade based on charts and signals I had repeatedly verified. Even if I was playing on my phone, I wouldn’t open a position unless I was confident. It’s like playing cards—knowing you can’t win but still calling, which is just giving money away.

Opportunities in Bitcoin and other coins are continuous; missing one isn’t a problem. Mistakes in operation are the real killer. Now, I place at most three orders a day—like snacking on sunflower seeds. Once you can’t stop, problems will arise.

**Second Discovery: The Golden Time When the Market Lies**

During the day, the market moves like someone drunk—any rumor can sway it, and both bulls and bears are manipulated by news and sentiment repeatedly. I’ve been watching candlestick charts for three years and finally see through it: after 9 PM, when the big players finish their dinner and return, the true face of the market begins to reveal itself.

That’s when bulls and bears truly communicate, and it’s also the window for me to make large trades. From 9 PM to midnight, the market movements are most valuable for reference.
