In the financial market, especially in cryptocurrency trading, the trader's biggest enemy is almost never the chart — it's anxiety. Many believe that making money depends only on 'getting in quickly', but the truth is exactly the opposite: those who know how to wait survive and thrive.
⏳ Knowing How to Wait is a Strategy, Not Weakness
The market spends most of the time in:
Lateralization
Corrections
False breakouts
Entering any move without confirmation is like crossing the street without looking: sometimes it works out, but the risk is unnecessary.
The patient trader waits:
The real breakout of resistance
The confirmation of support
The volume entering the market
The direction becomes clear
👉 Waiting saves money, emotional energy, and protects capital.
📊 Not Every Movement Is an Opportunity
One of the big mistakes beginners make is thinking they need to trade every day.
In practice:
Good traders make few trades
Bad ones make too many trades
Who waits for the right moment: ✅ Avoids false entry
✅ Avoids unnecessary stop
✅ Enters with a higher probability of success
✅ Controls emotion better
💰 How Much to Invest in Each Trade?
This point is as important as knowing when to enter.
A simple rule, used by professional traders:
> Never risk more than 1% to 2% of your capital per trade.
Example:
Account of R$ 500
Risk per trade: 1% = R$ 5
Even taking several stops, your capital remains alive.
Common mistake: ❌ Going with 20%, 30%, or 50% of the bankroll in a single trade
➡️ One mistake can break the entire plan.
The secret is not to win very quickly — it’s not to lose quickly.
🧠 Risk Management Is What Differentiates a Trader from a Gambler
The difference between:
A trader
And a gambler
It is at three points:
1. Wait for confirmation
2. Define stop before entering
3. Invest only a small part of the bankroll
Who ignores this may even win today, but almost always loses everything in the medium term.
✅ Conclusion
In trading, those who win:
Has patience
Have discipline
Has risk management
And knows that the market always gives another chance
📌 It’s not about trading more. It’s about trading better.
📌 It’s not about winning quickly. It’s about staying in the game.
