Some time ago, a person came to me, not asking about the market trends, nor which cryptocurrency could rise,
but with a single sentence: "I can’t hold on any longer."
His operations in the past few months have been quite typical: as soon as good news comes out, he rushes in,
chasing after the K-line as it pulls, panicking at every dip, and in the end, either getting stuck at a high position or cutting losses at the lowest point.
The money wasn’t lost all at once; it was gradually worn away by emotions every day.
I didn’t recommend any coins to him, nor did I discuss any complex strategies; I only helped him correct his rhythm.
The first thing was to slow him down. When the market is most bustling, it is often the time of highest risk.
The truly safe opportunities are hidden in the phases where no one is talking, trading volumes are low, and emotions are close to collapse.
The second thing is to always keep some bullets in hand.
No matter how much capital there is, one must always leave a way out for oneself. Without cash, there are no options; once trapped, one can only watch helplessly as the market plays out.
The third thing is to completely reject the "full position thinking."
Many people’s accounts do not grow large, not because they earn little, but because they over-leveraged once,
returning all previous efforts to the market in one go.
After these three habits are established, we can start discussing how to operate in the short term. Not taking action during the consolidation phase, before the direction is clear, is also a form of operation.
Real opportunities usually appear after emotional outbursts, with quick declines and panic trading,
which ironically makes it easier to welcome a recovery.
Entering the market must be done in batches, not to catch the lowest point, but to prevent oneself from misjudging.
And when a market has already risen significantly, and the price starts to move sideways at a high level, that is often the most dangerous time, making it easier to lose money than during a downturn.
I repeatedly told him one thing: this set of ideas is not to teach you how to get rich quickly, but to help you not be eliminated.
Those stories of doubling overnight are nice to hear, but most people have only succeeded that once.
And those who truly change their fortunes are always those who can stand in the market through one round after another,
