I've just realized something after many years in crypto — the phrase "red means don't buy, green means don't sell" sounds simple but is very hard to implement. Almost everyone has fallen into the trap of greed, going all-in at once and forgetting basic discipline.

What's the problem? When the market starts to collapse, tokens drop 15-20%, and we don't have cash on hand to "buy the dip." I've missed so many opportunities for that reason. That's why I now understand the importance of setting aside a reserve fund.

The reality is this — always keep about 30% of your capital idle, not touching it. The reason is simple: when a crisis hits the market, "red means don't buy, green means don't sell" is no longer just a saying but becomes a real action. You'll have money to buy when everyone is panic selling, when good tokens are at their cheapest.

Looking back, every time I had reserve funds to buy during market fear, the results were always good. Conversely, those times I went all-in and just watched opportunities pass by. So I want to share this experience with everyone — never forget the saying "red means don't buy, green means don't sell," but to do that, you need discipline and be ready to set aside part of your capital for market crises. That’s the secret to truly making money from these market fluctuations.
