The dumbest way to trade cryptocurrencies is often the most effective. But on this path, 90% of people can't stick with it. To be honest, over the years I've seen too many people blow up their accounts, exit the market, and leave with their heads hung low. It's not that they lack talent; it's that they keep making three fatal mistakes: 1. Chasing prices. When the price rises, they get greedy, thinking 'this wave can soar,' only to buy and get crushed. When real panic selling happens, no one dares to buy. Only those who can make 'buying on the dip' a habit are truly reaping the benefits of the cycle. 2. Over-leveraging. They think that if they're right about the direction, they can make a fortune in one go, but are shaken out by the big players, getting wiped out in the process. 3. Going all-in. When emotions run high, they go all-in, and even if they guess the trend right, they can't flexibly switch positions or adjust their holdings, missing real opportunities and just watching helplessly. Ultimately, the cruelest part of the crypto world is: you don't lose to the market; you lose to your own habits. I've summarized a set of 'six principles' for short-term trading; the simpler the principle, the more it's overlooked: 1. If high-level consolidation isn't finished, new highs are often still ahead; if low-level sideways trading has no bottom, it's easy to hit new lows. Don't act before the market changes. 2. Do not act during sideways trading; most people lose their patience in the fluctuations. 3. Buy when the daily line closes with a bearish candle, sell when it closes with a bullish candle. Following the market's emotions is much better than guessing. 4. If it falls slowly, it won't bounce high; if it falls quickly, there will be a sharp rebound. You can only see opportunities if you can grasp the market's rhythm. 5. Build positions in a pyramid style, entering in batches, and always keep some bullets. 6. After a big rise or fall, there must be consolidation; after consolidation, there will definitely be a change. Don't go all-in at highs, and don't go all-in at lows; wait for signals to determine your fate. The market is never short of opportunities; what it lacks are those who can stay steady, endure, and survive. If you can do this, the path of trading cryptocurrencies will become wider. You always think that the experts are just lucky; in fact, they are just using their dumb methods effectively.
