I thought I was trading... but I was just guessing
When I entered the world of cryptocurrencies, I was carried away by the excitement of "trading." I bought and sold with every market movement, reacting to FOMO, panic, tweets... but without any analysis or strategy.
ā I had no entry or exit plan.
ā I didnāt understand technical indicators.
ā I didnāt manage risk.
ā And worse yet, I confused long-term investing with short-term speculation.
What I was doing was not trading. It was emotional guessing. And the market does not forgive improvisation.
š” Over time, I understood the difference between investing and trading:
Investing is thinking long-term, believing in a project, and holding it with patience.
Trading is a discipline that requires analysis, emotional control, and risk management.
Today, I operate with more clarity:
ā
I analyze charts before entering
ā
I use stop-loss and take-profit
ā
I separate my investment capital from my trading capital
ā
And when I donāt see a clear opportunity, I simply donāt enter
