The longer I work in this field, the more I understand:
Making money is not about rushing in, but about being familiar with the process.
In the first few years after entering the circle, I was also reckless, with my account fluctuating up and down, and I barely had anything to show for it. It was only later that I slowly figured out the rules, knowing when to stop and when to act, resulting in fewer losses and more stable gains.
To survive in this market, there are actually two main things:
How to enter and how to exit.
The rest is just execution.
Newbies are most likely to suffer losses because they lack rules and plans; when the market moves, they get impulsive, thinking they understand it, but in reality, they can't even see where the risks are. The crypto market does not rely on luck, but on maintaining clarity amid volatility and sticking to one's bottom line.
Over the years, I have summarized a few practical experiences; if you can follow them, your path will be much smoother.
First, clarify your thoughts.
Don't get led astray by various news and group chats. Spend more time understanding the internal logic of market operations, learn to distinguish between real trends and false moves, and don't let emotions dictate your trading decisions.
Second, set clear rules in advance.
When to enter, when to exit, write it down clearly beforehand. Don't wait until the market surges to think about what to do; decisions made then are often wrong.
Third, be clear about your position.
Use the trading rhythm that matches the amount of capital in your account. Don't think about getting rich from a single trade, and definitely don't bet all your future on one operation.
Fourth, don't bet in a single direction.
Market changes are always faster than you; diversify your layout so that you can hold on. If one path doesn’t work, there are other paths to support you.
Fifth, patience is the real skill.
Wait for the right position, wait for signals, wait for trends to form. Many people clearly see the right direction but rush in too early and end up getting washed out.
Making money is not about a single strike; it's about being able to survive in this market long-term. The longer you survive, opportunities will naturally come to you.
If you can truly stick to these points, your path will be smoother and more stable than that of most people.
