The first day you enter the crypto world, you should understand one principle— the fewer trades you make, the less tuition you pay.
Many newcomers around me always want to catch every wave of price increase, afraid of missing any "opportunity." But those who truly last in this industry are never because they "know how to buy." On the contrary, their skill lies in knowing when to hold back and when to wait patiently. When the market is oscillating back and forth and the direction is unclear, the smartest choice is to observe calmly. Once the trend is established, profits will naturally surface— they are not squeezed out in chaotic market conditions.
Let’s also look at those so-called "hot projects." When a coin is in the limelight, the entire network is praising it; as soon as the hype cools down, no one pays attention anymore. Funds always turn with the trend and never hold onto old feelings. Those who react slowly are often deeply trapped at this moment. Investing is not about jumping into the crowd; players who can survive long in the market are the true winners.
When the trend becomes clear and trading volume breaks through, some people instinctively want to run. This is actually a mistake. Many times, this is not the end of the trend but a signal of acceleration. The big orders are often hidden in the latter half—those who can stay calm and hold on continue to profit the most. But don’t be fooled by superficial phenomena; those sudden large bullish candles should be most cautious. After a main force pushes up, it usually follows with a shakeout, and the brief excitement behind it may be a trap. Only by truly securing the profits and taking them off the table can you be a real winner.
Trading doesn’t have to be complicated. Focusing on two or three key levels is enough: if the price retraces to a support level and doesn’t break it, it might be worth betting; if it reaches a resistance level and you hesitate, reducing your position decisively is fine. Short-term trading is not about precisely predicting future trends but about grasping the rhythm— this is the most easily overlooked aspect.
Trade with real capital, not just theoretical talk—that’s being responsible for yourself. If you want to avoid detours and achieve stable profits in the crypto space, instead of exploring alone in the dark, it’s better to learn to trade with a steady and sound framework.

Really, the last sentence hit the mark; armchair strategizing is useless.

You're absolutely right. I've long been tired of those new traders who trade ten times a day, and my hands never stop, but all I get is losses.
---
Stop-loss without take-profit is really an art. Most people do the opposite.
---
Stop talking. I am the worst hit by popular projects.
---
Holding down the finger, these six words, are more valuable than any technical indicator.
---
Really, wait for a clear signal before acting. Can you earn as much as from frequent trading?
---
The washout phase is the most torturous. My poor mentality almost couldn't hold and I almost cut my position.
---
Trading less really saves tuition fees. I'm much more serious now.

Oh man, that really makes me feel great. Back in the day, I was a trading maniac, making fifty or sixty trades a day. As a result, I ended up paying for a house with my tuition fees. Now I realize—fewer trades actually lead to higher annualized returns.

Exactly right, I'm the guy who gets liquidated because I trade too frequently and starts to doubt life...
