108 Lessons on Trading Crypto & Stocks
Cultural Note: The original Chinese title is 纵横折叠教你炒币炒股108课 (Zongheng Zhedie jiāo nǐ chǎo bì chǎo gǔ 108 kè), meaning “Folding Dimensions teaches you to trade crypto and stocks — 108 lessons.” This is the most structured teaching format in the entire series.
This is the most systematic teaching in the Folding Dimensions series: 108 lessons distilled from years of real combat experience, organized into a curriculum that progresses from beginner concepts to advanced market reading.
Curriculum Philosophy
The 108 Lessons follow a specific pedagogical principle: each lesson is self-contained but interconnected. You don’t need to complete Lesson 1 before starting Lesson 5, but the deeper understanding comes from seeing how all 108 lessons form a coherent system.
Key Lesson Categories
Foundation Lessons (1–30):
- What is a trading system and why you need one
- Stop-loss as faith, not strategy
- Position sizing: the 2% rule
- Market structure: cores, deviations, propulsion
- The 5MA principle across timeframes
Intermediate Lessons (31–70):
- Reading the 5MA “gold line” on multiple timeframes
- Vertical vs. overlapping deviations
- When propulsion shifts from one timeframe to another
- The relationship between volume, price, and structure
- Identifying the “driving” timeframe
Advanced Lessons (71–108):
- The art of folding: reducing complex charts to key structural points
- When to enter, when to wait, when to exit
- The psychological architecture of execution
- The hierarchy of market participants
- The ultimate simplicity: one rule is enough
The 5MA as Universal Principle
The most important technical concept in the 108 Lessons is the 5-period moving average principle:
All propulsion in markets follows a 5MA on some timeframe.
This is not a technical indicator claim — it’s a structural observation about how human attention works. Markets move because humans move, and humans move in groups of minimum consensus. The 5MA captures this minimum consensus threshold.
Three verification methods:
- Current 5MA vs. current close — Is the close price maintaining the 5MA, or breaking it?
- Sub-timeframe 5MA vs. 20MA — When price reverses off the current 5MA, check if the sub-timeframe’s 5MA and 20MA still have room for continuation.
- Volume and deviation at sub-levels — The health of a propulsion cycle is expressed by the volume-price relationship of its driving sub-timeframe.
This chapter contains the structured 108 Lessons curriculum. The original Chinese text is approximately 10,500 characters.
