The biggest pitfall for small capital is not being unable to read charts, but being too damn eager to make quick money.

So in a ranging market, what exactly should small capital do?
$BTC
1. Trade light, don't go all in.
A sideways market is not for you to get rich; it's for you to squat and observe. Use 10%-15% of capital to trade light and test the waters. If you're right, wait for a breakout and add more. If you're wrong, take a small loss and get out quickly. Don't bet your life in a ranging market.
2. Set stops a bit further away.
The most annoying thing in a ranging market is setting stops too close; a slight shake will knock you out. Place your stop below key support (e.g., 2200) to give the market some breathing room and avoid being shaken out by the big players.

3. Place orders on both sides; don't guess the direction.
Go long near support, go short near resistance. Whichever gets triggered first, trade it. In crypto, 80% of the time is in a range. If you don't know how to "eat from both sides," you'll just have to watch helplessly.

Remember:
Don't think you're a big shot because of the small gains in a ranging market. That's purely based on feel, not skill.
When a real trend comes, that's the only chance for your small capital to turn around.
Stay steady now, don't rush.
If you want to make steady gains together, sit tight and follow my lead.
