The dumbest way to trade crypto is often the most effective, but 90% of people can't stick with it to the end.


To be honest, over the years in crypto, I've seen too many people get liquidated, quit, and leave in disgrace.
It's not that they're not smart, or lacking talent—it's that they're too impatient, too greedy, and want to turn things around overnight.
In short, retail traders who fail the worst almost always fall into three things.
First, buying when it goes up.
As soon as the candlestick chart rallies, they get hyped up, afraid of missing out on a quick fortune.
But the moment they jump in, the next candle is a big red one.
On the other hand, when there's a crash, panic, and screens full of complaints, no one dares to buy.
But the people who actually make money are often the ones slowly accumulating when others are most fearful.
Second, going all-in and holding on for dear life.
They always think they've read the direction right and that going all-in will send them to the moon.
But when the whales shake the market a couple of times, they're the first to be wiped out.
The scariest thing in trading isn't being wrong—it's having too heavy a position.
No matter how good your reasoning is, it can't survive one loss of control.
Third, going all-in on emotion.
You think you're holding strong faith, but really you're gambling with your life.
If the market goes your way, you make a profit; if it doesn't, you're out.
A lot of people don't lose to the market—they lose to their own emotions.
Over the years, I've increasingly realized that the real essence of crypto trading can be summed up in one sentence:
The simpler things are, the easier they are to overlook; the simpler the rules, the more they can save your life.
Stay still during sideways markets.
Because many people's positions and patience are worn down by choppy movements.
Don't try to catch the top or bottom every day.
Before a trend emerges, waiting is more important than acting.
Learn to enter in batches and exit in batches.
Always keep some cash on hand, and always leave yourself an escape route.
After a big rally, expect volatility; after a big drop, recovery takes time.
Don't get excited at the highs, and don't despair at the lows.
Trading based on signals is always more reliable than trading on gut feeling.
The market never lacks opportunities.
What it lacks are people who can survive long enough to seize them.
If you're still losing over and over and starting over again, come talk to me, and I'll teach you how to simplify trading.
