4 tips to help you avoid 90% of the pitfalls in the crypto world.
The crypto world isn't about desperately winning; it's about surviving through understanding.
Many newcomers to cryptocurrency often think that perpetual contracts are a shortcut to 'quick doubling'.
But to be honest: frequent reckless trading, emotional decisions, and going All in at every opportunity will only lead to losses in the end.
I've spent years navigating the market, and what has brought me to this point are four fundamental principles. They won't make you rich, but they can help you avoid most traps. In the crypto world, 'surviving' is the greatest victory.
1. Don't go All in — position size isn't courage; it's your bottom line.
Jumping in with all your capital at the slightest market movement is the most fatal mistake for beginners.
If the market gives you a slight pullback, you could get liquidated without even a chance to recover.
Remember this: always leave room for trial and error.
One loss is fine, but three losses is called failure.
Those who manage their positions steadily will always go further than those who are reckless.
2. Trade with the trend, don't go against human nature.
Human nature tends to buy the dip and fear chasing the rise, but those who truly make money are always the ones who trade with the trend.
A pullback during an upward trend is a gift of chips to you;
If the trend hasn't broken, hold on and don't guess the top.
The market has inertia; trends continue to persist far more than they reverse.
3. Take profits and cut losses; they are your moat.
Making money is easy, but holding onto it is the hardest part.
Without stop losses and take profits, even the best market intuition is useless.
Remember these three iron rules:
No single loss should exceed 5% of your total capital;
Try to ensure each profit exceeds 5%;
Maintain a win rate of over 50%.
If you can do these three things, your capital will naturally grow steadily.
4. Don't act recklessly; sometimes it's best to be idle.
The biggest problem for beginners is being too proactive.
Five or six trades a day, dozens or hundreds of operations a month, the busier you are, the more you lose.
Trading isn't a physical activity; it's an art of waiting.
Limiting yourself to 2-3 planned trades a day is far better than randomly making a hundred trades.
The market is always there; you don't need to rush in every single moment.
In summary: Don't go all in, follow the trend, control risk, and trade less.
In the crypto world, being stable, being patient, and surviving is worth more than any get-rich-quick scheme.
