In the world of cryptocurrency trading, sometimes the simplest methods end up being the most effective.

However, this path is one that 90% of people cannot endure.

To be honest, over the years, I've seen too many people get liquidated, run away, and leave the market with their heads down and in embarrassment. It's not that they lack ability, but rather they keep making three fatal mistakes:

First, buying when the price is rising. When the price of a coin goes up, they become greedy, thinking, "This wave is definitely going to soar," only to find that as soon as they buy, the price drops; when everyone is panicking and selling, no one dares to buy. Being able to make "buying when it drops" a habit is what truly allows one to reap the benefits of market cycles.

Second, placing bets too heavily. They think that if they’re right about the direction, they can make a huge profit, only to be shaken out by a bit of movement from large funds, facing a few sharp ups and downs that lead to them getting liquidated.

Third, going all in. When emotions run high, they invest everything, and even if they guess the trend correctly, they can't flexibly shift their positions or adjust their holdings, watching good opportunities slip away while feeling powerless.

Ultimately, the harshest reality in the crypto world is: you don’t lose because of the market, but because of your own bad habits.

I’ve summarized a set of six principles for short-term trading; the simpler the principle, the easier it is to be overlooked:

1. If high-level consolidation isn't over, new highs are often still to come; if low-level horizontal trading hasn't reached the bottom, it’s likely to make new lows. Don't make a move before a trend change.

2. When the market is in a sideways motion, absolutely don’t enter the market. Most people run out of patience while waiting through the fluctuations.

3. Buy when the daily line closes as a bearish candle, sell when it closes as a bullish candle. Following market sentiment is much better than figuring it out on your own.

4. If the price drops slowly, the rebound won't be significant; if it drops quickly, then a sharp rebound is possible. Understanding the market rhythm allows opportunities to become visible.

5. Use a pyramid-style approach to building positions, enter the market in batches, and always keep some funds available.

6. After significant rises or falls, there will definitely be consolidation, and after consolidation, there will definitely be a trend change. Don’t go all in at high points, and don’t invest everything at low points; wait for signals to decide how to act.

The market has never lacked opportunities; what it lacks are those who can stay steady, endure, and survive.

If you can achieve these, the path of trading cryptocurrencies can only become wider. You always think that experts have good luck, but in fact, it's because they use simple methods solidly enough.
