$BAY In project communities, especially in the crypto market, there are experienced traders who understand very well the difference between strong hands and weak hands. When someone buys an asset, incurs a loss, and immediately blames the project, almost always the problem is not the project itself, but a lack of risk management and emotional control.

When buying an asset that is falling, it is essential to be aware that no one knows exactly where the bottom is, especially when we talk about newly listed alphas. These assets tend to rise very quickly because of the initial hype and, shortly after, undergo a strong correction. Those who enter first and invest larger amounts can make partial sales, realize profits, and buy back lower. On the other hand, weak hands, who enter with little capital expecting immediate profit, often cannot even pay the fees in the short term and end up panicking.

Another common mistake is investing all the money at once, without planning. Those who do this lose sight of the normal corrections in the market and cannot see opportunities in declines. They lack the basics: setting limit orders and respecting fall spaces, such as 10% or more.

For example: if I have 15 dollars, I do not invest everything at once. I divide it into three purchases of 5 dollars each. If I see a project in alpha with a decline of 34%, I know that this is still small. So I plan:

first purchase with 5 dollars at 0.18;

second purchase with a 10% decline, at 0.16;

third purchase at 0.14.

If the market changes, I can cancel or adjust the orders, setting larger or smaller declines. I may miss the target, yes — the price may not drop 10%, it may drop less and then rise. Even so, some purchases already made can yield profit. This is part of the strategy.

In the end, it is important to understand that a loss only exists when you sell. The market requires patience, planning, and emotional control. Those who do not learn: always repeat the same mistake: buy at the top, sell at the bottom, and blame the project; in reality, it was the lack of strategy.
