Most participants in the crypto market do not really learn how to trade. They do not care about technical analysis, market psychology, or capital management. Instead, they only look for quick buy/sell signals, hoping to 'get rich quick' after a few trades.

I used to be like that.

I jumped into the market, opened trades just because I saw a green candle. I FOMO when I see prices rising, I panic when prices drop, and I lose time after time.

I thought I was trading. But actually, I was just gambling.

🔍 Trading Is Not Guessing – It Is A Skill That Requires Strategy

When I stopped, reflected on the entire process, I realized:

If you don't have a strategy, you are committing financial suicide.

A true trading strategy must include:

✅ 1. Clear entry point

Don't open trades just because "I feel it will go up". There must be a reason: technical patterns, support and resistance zones, clear confirmation signals.

🎯 2. Specific take profit (TP) target

Don't take profits like "seeing profits, then close" or "wait a little longer". There must be a clear TP point, calculated in advance based on strong resistance or a reasonable R:R ratio.

❌ 3. Stop-loss – cut losses in time

The market is never 100% certain. Always be prepared for the worst-case scenario. Setting a stop-loss is to protect your account, not because of "weak mentality".

🧮 4. Capital management – don't let a single trade destroy your account

Never risk more money than you are willing to lose. A trade should never risk more than 1–3% of your capital.

📉 Most Losers Make the Following Mistakes:

  • Opening trades based on emotions: following others when they enter

  • Buying at the peak out of FOMO (fear of missing out)

  • Not setting stop-loss, hoping to 'turn around' the loss

  • Being overconfident after winning a few trades, then going 'all-in' and burning the account

  • Not keeping a trading journal, not learning lessons

This is not trading. This is burning money.

If you want to survive and earn sustainable money in this market, you need:

📚 Learn and understand the nature of the market

The market isn't always logical. But there are always rules if you're willing to observe and analyze.

🛠️ Build and adhere to a strategy

It doesn't have to be complicated. Just have discipline: right entry point – right exit point – right risk level.

📊 Smart risk management

Trading is a game of chance. You don't need to be right 100%, you just need to win more than you lose, and protect your capital long enough to be profitable.


📔 Reflect and improve after each trade

After each trade, whether win or lose, ask: what was my reason for entering the trade? Was it according to plan? What can be improved?

💬 Conclusion

Trading is not magic. It's a skill.
It requires time, discipline, and learning from mistakes.

Don't chase signals blindly. Understand why people enter trades, why they set stop-loss there. That's how you learn the thinking of a professional trader. Stop guessing. Start trading strategically. #Write2Earn
