Reflections on 5 Years of Full-Time Trading Since resigning from a central enterprise in April 2021 to trade full-time, it has now been a full 5 years. Since it's been five years, I thought I should write something to leave a record. In these 5 years, I have devoted all my passion, time, and money. ------------------------------- My schoolmate and comrade said I played a good hand terribly. I was a special forces soldier, the only one in our entire regiment who served 2 years and still joined the Party. After discharge, I returned to school, transferring from our school's top architecture major to the tough civil engineering major. But by graduation, I was one of only two people who got hired by a certain central enterprise through my own efforts. (Because by the time our school recruited for this major, that central enterprise had already filled their quota; they hired two people, me and a classmate whose family elder was reportedly a retired senior provincial official). Graduating from university with the honors of being a former special forces soldier, a national flag guard, a provincial outstanding graduate, and scoring over 500 on English CET-4 and CET-6, I entered a Fortune 500 central enterprise. In the company, due to high emotional intelligence, good image, and sound cognition and logical thinking, I was well regarded by leadership. If things had continued on this path, I probably would have become a leader like my schoolmate and comrade. --------------------------- However, by a twist of fate, I entered the narrow gate of professional trading. At the beginning of 2021, after earning my first ten-million-level fortune, I mistakenly thought trading was a profession that could be easily successful. Like most people, I became arrogant. Winning 1.5 million on one trade and losing 2 million on another didn’t faze me because I believed I was truly the chosen one, the god of trading. At this rate, even Buffett wouldn’t be on my radar. From the second half of 2021, I started steadily losing money, tens of thousands at a time. I would lose, then chase, then hold on to profits without taking them, only to lose again before exiting. At the start of 2022, I began to panic. First, because my funds were running low, almost depleted; second, I realized the technical indicators I had learned before seemed useless. From 2022 to 2024, I began a new phase of my trading life, the second and third years, constantly writing review notes. Although they seem naive now, I believe this was my first step toward change. By the end of 2024, I started to awaken, realizing that the MA, MACD, and other technical indicators I had painstakingly reviewed were useless and wrong. But at that time, I was still skeptical and gradually verifying my new understanding. In the winter solstice of 2025, I truly reached enlightenment. I became very certain that short-term contract trading does not rely on various technical indicators but on volume, price, and structural breakout behavior. In 2025, I achieved twice turning $200 into $40,000 in 20 days, a 200x return. This gave me great confidence. I had just awakened to the fact that my spiritual guide in trading was the couch potato Bitcoin, who said in 2021 at A&A that trading correctness is unrelated to principal. But why did I earn and then lose it back? One reason is economic pressure in real life; the second is lack of self-control. These two issues are still what I am striving to overcome. When cognition reaches the correct dimension, unity of knowledge and action is effective. If cognition is wrong, unity of execution only compounds the error. After saying so much, what I want to tell everyone is that trading ultimately comes down to volume, price, and structure. Don’t waste energy chasing some trading holy grail or deceptive technical indicators. My trading has really come full circle and returned to basics: chase breakouts, stop loss on false breakouts. It really is that simple. I don’t know how far this path will take me, but as long as I can keep going, I will walk it steadfastly and unwaveringly.

Today is the Winter Solstice according to the Chinese lunar calendar, an important milestone and also a significant point in Haihai's trading career! Haihai has truly attained enlightenment. Because I have solved the last difficult problem in trading that I had struggled with before: how to resolve the contradiction between "controlling drawdown and enduring drawdown." This problem is now completely solved. So the two times this year, in March-April and October-November, when I turned a little over 1,000 yuan into over 200,000 yuan in about 20 days, a 200x return, and then lost it again— all the flaws and shortcomings in that process have now been thoroughly resolved. Because my trading system has now been finalized, and I have named it: the Structural Trading System! In the future, Haihai's trading legend and the Structural Trading System will surely be widely talked about and spread. I’m giving myself this praise first!!!! My old self: 1. When I saw sharp rises and steep falls, I would feel impulsive inside. 2. I used to fear missing out, fear being sidelined, fear that this might be the "trade of destiny." My current self: 1. I know this asset "cannot be touched right now." 2. I know I have to wait for it to form a certain structure before taking action. 3. After taking action, I know whether it’s a "trial-and-error trade," "riding the main rise," or "endgame play." I have completely shifted from emotion-driven to structure-driven now!!!!! 1. I know when not to trade: when the structure isn’t complete, emotions are still present, and no error points have appeared. This understanding solved my itch to trade! 2. I know when I can try and err! The trial-and-error trades I make are logical, not gambling on direction! This understanding helped me accept losses and drawdowns! 3. I know how to hold after entering! Whether to ride out emotional pullbacks, structural reversals, or large-scale trends. This understanding solved the problem of which candlestick I should be worried about and which I should ignore!! One more thing for everyone: if you are still at the stage of "the market is causing me to lose money," it really means your understanding is almost zero. When you reach the stage of "where did I make a mistake," your understanding begins to accumulate, and your trading can be said to have just started. Above is excerpted from my Weibo post on 2025.12.25, reflections on the Winter Solstice.

$DOS Short-term violent surge, single-day increase over 33%. From the market perspective, this wave of rise is a capital-driven trend. The chips near the previous bottom of 0.32 were fully washed out, and short-term incremental funds concentrated to enter, with volume expanding and continuous large bullish candlesticks. Short-term moving averages are in a bullish arrangement, and the buying sentiment is quickly ignited. Small-cap coin trends mostly do not rely on fundamental implementation but more on rotating market hotspots and concentrated speculative capital driving the price up. The characteristic of this type of trend is rapid rise, but the risk of chip realization also increases simultaneously. The short-term upper high of 0.535 becomes the first resistance level, with huge risk in chasing the high. Once funds exit, the correction speed will also be very fast. When participating in such small coins, focus closely on changes in trading volume. Volume expansion without price increase often signals a short-term peak. Do not blindly chase at high levels.

Recently, everyone has been criticizing the so-called Binance prince, um-hmm. I don't mean to criticize, but what I want to express is that whether or not he really has personal assets of A9, he definitely couldn't have earned it through trading. Because, through trading, going from a poor kid to A9 requires the blessing of time and hellish torment. You have to endure 5-10 years of inhuman torment in the market. Anyway, all the people I know who made their fortune through trading are like this: Bitcoin Emperor, Lang Lang, Fu Haitang, Lin Yuan, Jing Xin, Boss Ten. Trading is not as simple as the persona of um-hmm. His understanding of trading is probably not even at an elementary school level. If he really has A9, then it must have been earned through other shady means in the crypto world, definitely not trading.

$BTC Trust your own eyes, short In the past ten days, Bitcoin has been consolidating and rising with extremely low volume Although it’s not a horizontal convergence, the volume is extremely low So it’s time to choose a direction Before choosing, everyone was saying it’s time to pick a direction Then yesterday closed with a downward high-volume bearish candle Actually, this is the direction we’ve been hoping for So let’s take it as the real direction If you overthink, you really can’t trade

$CRV climbed the gainers list today I know this coin's nature very well Brothers, Buy it around 0.29, this is the limit of its rebound here

US July CPI Preview Report $BTC $ETH This Wednesday at 8:30 PM, the US July CPI will be released, a key data point that will determine the pace of the Federal Reserve's rate cuts. 1. Inflation declines → rate cut expectations rise, benefiting US stocks, gold, Bitcoin, and other risk assets. 2. Inflation rebounds beyond expectations → rate cuts delayed, the US dollar strengthens, and high-valuation assets come under pressure. Currently, Bitcoin's bullish momentum is weakening, and in this volatile market, the CPI is very likely to be the trigger that breaks the range.

$BTC has been climbing with fluctuations for ten days, slowly grinding up and wearing down the bulls' patience, without volume confirming new highs, then turning to a pullback. This ten-day gradual rise is essentially a battle of existing funds, with insufficient new inflows, and the market has lacked strong buying to confirm a breakout. During the fluctuations, a large amount of short-term long positions accumulated, and once upward momentum weakens, profit-taking orders concentrate and prices quickly retract. Currently, the market has returned inside the range, with key support to watch around the previous 62200 level. The key point for the short-term market: whether the decline is a corrective shakeout or the start of a new downtrend depends on the support level holding and changes in capital volume. After the fluctuation, do not rush to bottom-fish; wait for clear signals from the market first.

$CAP has reached the top of the gainers list From the current view, it has broken through But we still need to watch the follow-up support Trading is never 100% Only high-probability events under a trading system If it insists on dropping, then that's a low-probability event As retail investors, there's nothing we can do, we can't control the rise or fall, we can only follow

$MUBARAK short-term doubling! The logic behind MUBARAK's consecutive large bullish candles breakout Recently, MUBARAK has experienced a violent rally, with daily candles showing consecutive large bullish bars. In just a few days, it surged from around 0.01 to a high of 0.0298, nearly tripling in a short period, with trading volume sharply increasing in sync. Fundamental drivers: Middle East narrative hotspot, linked to Dubai and UAE-related concepts. Recently, capital rotation in the Middle East sector has led speculative funds to concentrate in this track. From the candlestick structure perspective, there was a long period of bottom consolidation and sideways movement, with chips fully settled. All moving averages have turned bullish, and new capital inflows have started pushing the price up. This type of hot small-cap coin's market performance heavily depends on sector sentiment and the sustainability of speculative funds. After a surge, volatility will increase dramatically, and once funds exit, the correction speed will also be very fast.
