Let's share something today:
Many people who just enter the cryptocurrency world like to do short-term trading or scalping, thinking that "making money quickly" is the way to go, but is that really the case?
1. Clear positioning: Trading levels vary from person to person.
Choosing the right trading method for yourself is more important than technology. Trading is a game of probability, and the key is: to focus on the part of the market you have the best grasp on.
Short-term and contracts essentially earn "hard-earned money":
There are many opportunities, but they are fleeting; you must keep your eyes on the market for a long time.
It requires staying up late, having patience, and is suitable for young people with free time and strong stress resistance.
If you don’t have time or energy and still push hard, that’s just the beginning of chasing highs and cutting losses.
2. Basic conditions must be met, otherwise it will be hard to earn no matter how hard you try.
Physical condition & sleep schedule: Night trading has many opportunities, and if you can’t stay up late, it’s hard to persist.
Family support: High-frequency trading affects sleep and emotions; if family members don’t understand, it can easily lead to conflicts.
Capital size: Short-term contracts are more suitable for small capital operations; large capital may increase friction costs and psychological pressure.
3. Capability matching is the key.
Don’t fantasize about making money through “luck”; short-term trading tests:
Technical analysis ability: Can you quickly understand the market and find the right timing to act?
Risk control and strategy: How to set stop-loss and take-profit? How to allocate positions? Is there a system for risk control?
Mental stability: Can you remain calm after continuous losses? Do you have a trading plan rather than just acting on feelings?
In simple terms, whether you can make money depends on whether you match this rhythm and rules; it’s not about wanting to make money to actually make money.
