Having been in the crypto world for so long, I want to share some trading insights.

During market volatility, never greedily trade both sides. I've suffered quite a few losses—after going short, I would reverse and go long; after going long, I would reverse and go short, only to be killed by the market maker's reverse moves, getting cut from both ends. Later, I learned to be smarter: in choppy markets, stick firmly to a one-sided mindset—if you're bullish, stick to a bullish strategy; if you're bearish, focus on bearish logic. Don't give the market makers an opportunity to manipulate.

Simply put: control your greed and avoid giving the market makers a chance to trap you from both sides. This tactic is especially effective against market swings.

Purely personal experience to share, hope experienced traders will forgive me.
