Many people think trading cryptocurrencies is simple, just buy low and sell high.

But when you actually get into the market, you realize that the hardest part isn't judging the trend, but controlling yourself.
Below are some strict rules I set for myself after stepping on many pits; they may not sound nice, but they are definitely practical.
The first and most important rule is: don't follow your emotions.
When prices are rising rapidly, everyone is rushing in, but you shouldn't follow;
when prices are falling sharply, everyone is afraid, but you should stay calm and look for opportunities.
It's easy to say, but very hard to do; I’ve also learned the hard way—chasing highs and getting trapped,
or cutting losses during a pullback—these are all lessons.
Second, never invest all your money at once.
Full position trading is like risking your life savings; if your mindset gets chaotic, your operations will distort.
The market is never short of opportunities; if you have no cash on hand, you can only watch when opportunities come.
Keep some reserve funds; it will give you peace of mind.
In terms of specific strategies, I’ve summarized a few practical tips based on real combat experience:
If the direction is unclear, don’t act.
When the coin price is sideways at a high level, sometimes it will push to a new high;
when it’s sideways at a low level, it might continue to break the bottom.
Don’t guess—wait for the market to find its own direction before acting.
