Opening an account to view trading records—what a mess—losing orders can line up into a long queue, which is probably the current situation for many in the crypto world.

Recently, I saw someone complain again, saying they were scammed out of a few hundred dollars by a "battle god" level influencer. I really want to ask: would a truly skilled trader survive on just this little money from you? Just thinking about it makes it clear.

Recalling the tuition fees I paid in my early years, I actually feel a bit grateful now—it's these losses that taught me a lesson. Today, I want to talk about how I went from being a complete "victim" to gradually figuring out my own trading method.

**The transformation from relying on experts to independent decision-making**

When I first entered the scene, like all beginners, I blindly trusted various influencers, copied signals, and hung out in groups. The result was predictable—my USDT was decreasing, and my mindset was collapsing. Later, I realized that even the most talented people are unreliable; in the end, you can only rely on yourself.

I started reading books. Classics like *Japanese Candlestick Charting Techniques* and *Digital Currency Investment Guide* were in front of me. At first, I couldn’t understand anything. But I found a trick: when I hit a snag in the book, I searched for videos online. Take EMA moving averages, for example—the theory in the manual felt complicated, but a five-minute tutorial video made everything clear.

The key to this transformation: from asking others for help to asking search engines. Waiting all day for a reply in the comments might be less effective than spending ten minutes searching for valuable content yourself.

**Using the Wyckoff Method as an example**

When learning advanced theories like Wyckoff, the professional terminology and complex charts can be mentally exhausting. I didn’t cry out in the group, but instead broke down each concept, repeatedly searched and compared explanations from different sources.

The secret to understanding complex concepts is to break down the details. Don’t try to understand everything at once. Learn each unfamiliar term separately, then piece them together. Eventually, you’ll find that those seemingly profound ideas are actually quite logical.
