Does spot trading in the crypto world really represent safety?
When I first entered the market, I naively thought: as long as I don't engage in high-leverage contracts and hold spot, it would be the safest.
But what happened? 30,000 turned into 8,000...
This is a real experience of a follower and a reflection of many newcomers. He jumped in after hearing a statement from a "well-known blogger" on a certain platform, averaged down when the price fell, and ended up stuck at the peak, watching his account shrink without daring to take action.
The problem is actually quite simple—
It's not that spot trading is unsafe, but rather that you are using the wrong approach.
The risk of spot trading has never been about whether there is leverage, but about the mindset of "holding on until the end."
Listening to news and going all in, being reluctant to cut losses even after losses, this mentality will eventually lead to problems.
Many people keep making these three fatal mistakes, thinking they are just unlucky:
1. Chasing based on hype without a plan
2. Emotionally averaging down, wanting to lower the cost every time the price drops
3. Betting on the "next tenfold coin," ending up fully invested in one, and getting stuck
This is not investing; it's gambling.
The truly profitable veteran players have long mastered the "subtext" of the market:
• A particularly long upper shadow usually means someone is quietly selling
• The longer the lower shadow, the more it seems like a major player is sweeping the chips
• Higher highs indicate a clear upward structure
• If it keeps breaking previous lows, then don’t hesitate—it's time to leave
To be honest—
The market never lacks opportunities to make money; what it lacks are those who can survive.
You may not know how to chart or watch the market, but you must adhere to these 12 words: choose the right direction, stabilize your position, and follow the trend.
Many people ask me if spot trading is the safest method?
I will only say one thing: living long in the circle gives you the right to talk about returns.
At this stage, losses are not scary,
What’s really scary is not realizing that you are repeatedly using a wrong method.
This market lacks hard workers, but it needs those who can see the rules clearly, are willing to learn, and know how to follow the right direction.
May you no longer panic in every drop and steadily seize your opportunities in every rebound.
