Do you know what interesting thing I’ve noticed lately? Most beginners in crypto don’t understand at all how the timeframe actually works. The timeframe is simply an interval of time for grouping prices, but people often ignore that the larger the time period, the more significant it is. However, everyone is more concerned with what is happening right now, at this moment.

I’m telling you honestly: psychology in investing is everything. And I see how 80% of traders lose money. In crypto, the figure is even higher. This is logical because the market cannot exist without one side losing and the other winning. If everyone won, the system simply wouldn’t exist. So the remaining 20% have a strong interest in increasing the gap.

Want to join this minority? The first step is straightforward: forget about margin and margin trading. Leverage is a multiplier that promises to maximize profit. But do you know what it really is? It’s greed in its purest form. The same snake that convinces you to throw your entire deposit on a ‘verified insider,’ that doesn’t let you set stop-losses because you can always sell without losses.

Greed is a vice that lives in everyone. Over time, it leads to poverty. But it’s not incurable if you see it as a psychological state that can be changed. It’s truly scary when poverty pushes you into debt, into margin trading, when you think ‘the market will definitely go down now, I’ll even put on leverage.’ Debt is not what you need.

Experienced traders cope with fear through proper risk management. But greed even overcomes them. A recent case with a well-known trader is a vivid example. That’s why it’s critically important to have an investment position and periodically lock in profits.

Right now, the medium-term trend of BTC has been rising for a long time. Trade with the prevailing wind, follow the trend. Don’t let fear and greed take over your mind. The news will be the most negative, that’s guaranteed.

I look at the monthly timeframe of BTC. The RSI indicator shows: on the monthly period, it’s 58, which is neutral. On the weekly, it’s 78, overbought, it’s worth locking in some profit. On the daily, it’s 61, again neutral. On the four-hour, it’s 58, neutral.

So the conclusion is simple: work according to your long-term strategy, don’t succumb to emotions. Stay in an emotionally stable state without margin positions so that money doesn’t pressure you. The timeframe is not just a number on the chart; it’s the foundation of your discipline. I share my experience on how to control risks on accounts.
