Remember this: crypto is not a 'money button', but a market where money moves from the impatient to the patient. If you jump in with the thought of 'quickly making profits' — the market will quickly put you in your place.
The first rule is — don't get into futures.
Leverage, margin, liquidations — this is a meat grinder for beginners. Until you understand what risk management is, futures = loss. Start only with spot.
Second - don't trade with your last money.
If you entered with money that you can't afford to lose - you've already lost. Trade in a way that a loss doesn't break your mind and sleep.
Third - forget about 'signals'.
99% of Telegram signals are either scams or people who profit from you, not from the market. Learn to think for yourself, even if you make mistakes at first.
Fourth - start with the basics.
Bitcoin, Ethereum, a couple of normal altcoins. Don't get into shitcoins hoping for x1000. If a coin is being pumped in the chat - you are already too late.
Fifth - risk decides everything.
One trade - a maximum of 1-2% of the deposit at risk. Don't average down into losses, don't take revenge on the market, don't increase the lot 'to make up for it'.
Sixth - emotions are your main enemy.
FOMO, fear, greed - this is exactly how the market makes money. If you catch yourself wanting to 'jump in right now' - stop.
Seventh - crypto rewards the patient.
It's better to earn steadily and slowly than to hit a big win once and then give everything back to the market. Those who survive are not the smartest, but the most disciplined.
And the most important: you are not obligated to trade every day. Sometimes the best trade is to not enter the market at all.
