Over the years of trading in the crypto space, I've seen too many people get stuck in the same trap—holding on stubbornly during losses.

My first and most direct advice to all traders is this: if your account drawdown exceeds 20%, don't hesitate—exit immediately. Many people can't do this, not because they don't understand, but because their emotions hijack their decision-making.

Honestly, the vast majority of losses have little to do with market conditions; it's all about mindset playing tricks. I was a living example in my early days—buying after a rise out of fear of missing out, holding during a fall out of fear of further losses, experiencing three roller-coaster waves a day, and being exhausted.

Later, I realized a key principle: the gap in trading isn't about fancy techniques, but about whether you can establish a system to "stop yourself from being stupid."

True experts don't win every trade, but they control each mistake within an acceptable range. For example, if a certain coin is suppressed by the MA60 on the 4-hour chart two or three times, beginners might still be pondering "try again to break through," while seasoned traders have already planned their short positions and set clear stop-loss levels. If wrong, admit it, but as long as you catch one big trend, all previous small losses can be recovered.

The same applies to low buying—it's not about rushing in after a big drop, but about seeing clear oversold signals near previous lows on the daily chart before acting. Positions taken at such levels have a higher success rate.

My current trading logic is very simple: stop when the drawdown hits a threshold—no giving myself reasons to justify it; always weigh the importance of each order—never go all-in; let profits dance with the market when they come, without rushing to cash out; withdraw the expected monthly gains, as having too much funds in the account can lead to complacency.

Be especially cautious in choppy markets—fake breakouts are everywhere, designed to trap the itchy-fingered. During such times, do less; when a real trend emerges, the opportunity will come to you naturally.

One last piece of advice: trading isn't about how skillful your operations are, but about whether you can resist the urge to keep self-destructing when losing. Once you understand this, stable profits are not far away.
