Stop trying to predict every pump and dump. I learned this the hard way.

Noobs love calling tops and bottoms, convincing themselves they're right, then holding bags when the market wrecks them. Right thesis, blown account.

Veterans don't predict—they react. Form a bias, sure. But never marry it. Wait for confirmation, then execute.

Always have your plan: where you take profit, where you cut losses. Risk management > being right.

You don't win long-term by nailing every call. You win by not getting rekt when you're wrong.
