The dumbest way to trade crypto is often the most effective. But 90% of people simply can't stick with it until 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 talented, but that they're too impatient, too greedy, and too eager to turn things around overnight.
Retail investors who die the worst basically fall into three things.
First, chase after price increases. When the candlestick goes up, they get excited, afraid of missing a chance to get rich. As soon as they jump in, the next candle is a big red one. On the contrary, when prices crash, panic sets in, and everyone is cursing, nobody dares to buy. But the people who really make money often pick up chips slowly when everyone else is most afraid.
Second, go heavy and hold to death. They always think they're right about the direction, so they go all in, expecting a takeoff. But after a few shakes by the big players, they are the first to be wiped out. The scariest thing in trading is not being wrong, but having too heavy a position. No matter how good your logic is, it can't withstand a single loss of control.
Third, go all in when emotions are high. You think you have strong faith, but actually you're gambling with your life. If the market goes your way, you make a profit; if it goes against you, you're out. Many people don't lose to the market, they lose to their own emotions.
Over the years, I increasingly feel that the true essence of crypto trading is just one sentence: The simpler things are easier to overlook, and the simpler rules are the ones that can save your life.
Move less during sideways markets, because many people's positions and patience are worn out by volatility. Don't obsess every day about buying the dip and selling the top. Before the trend emerges, waiting is more important than doing. Learn to enter and exit in batches, always keep some cash, and always leave yourself a way out.
After a big rally, there's often consolidation; after a big crash, time is needed for repair. Don't get excited at the highs, and don't despair at the lows. Act only when signals appear; it's always more reliable than trading based on feelings.
The market never lacks opportunities; what it lacks are people who can stay alive long enough to wait for them. If you're still losing repeatedly and starting over, I'll teach you to make trading simple. $BTC
