To All Retail Investors in the Crypto Market:
Whether you accept it or not—this is the reality of the crypto space.
If you're trading with under $500,000 and aiming for success through short-term strategies, read this carefully. What I share here comes from over a decade of experience in the markets—six years of which have been full-time crypto trading.
My Journey
I’m 34 now. Though I didn’t study finance in college (a regret), I dove into stocks and forex early, then discovered crypto through friends. Like many beginners, I chased technical indicators and cheap coins, thinking that was the safe bet. It wasn’t.
What I learned: if you want quick gains, you must master short-term trading and combine it with longer-term compounding strategies. But more important than short-term wins is building a system that can deliver sustainable, repeatable profits.
The Core Message: Build a Trading System That Works for You
Don’t chase profits blindly—review every trade.
Ask yourself: was this luck or skill?
The goal isn’t just to win—it’s to keep winning.
“If you don’t own your mindset, someone else will.”
Position Management: Size Matters
Mistake many make: shifting from longer timeframes (like 1H) to short ones (like 5min) but using the same position size—leading to small wins and big losses.
The key: Position size must scale based on volatility and timeframe. Same risk-reward ratio ≠ same profit across timeframes.
I built a simple position calculator to help size positions correctly based on expected loss and market conditions. (Instructions included in original post.)
Real Example Breakdown:
Using ETH on 15-min charts, I walk you through K-line analysis—how to recognize key price action signals like:
Doji stars with volume
Bullish engulfing candles
False breakouts
Lower highs & double tops
When to wait vs. when to enter
This part teaches how to read price structure, not just patterns. The focus isn’t “follow me,” but learn how I think—and apply it your own way.
Trading Philosophy: Strict Entry, Wide Exit
Strict Entry:
Follow your rules.
Enter only when your setup aligns perfectly.
Use tight, logic-based stop losses.
Wide Exit:
Give price room to move.
Don’t panic on normal pullbacks.
Let winning trades run.
4 Stop Loss Methods:
Signal-based
Structural
Three-bar
Break-even
Use tighter stops in the entry phase; widen stops once the trend confirms.
The 80/20 Rule in Crypto
Only 20% of investors consistently make money. To be one of them, you must:
Deeply understand the market: technology, tokenomics, trends.
Develop your own strategy: Don’t chase hype.
Stay disciplined: Control emotions during rallies and crashes.
Keep learning: This space evolves fast.
Even the best fisherman doesn’t head to sea during a storm. They wait, protect the boat, and prepare for clear skies.
Crypto isn't just hype—it's a skill game. Follow the market’s rhythm, develop your system, and ride the wave when it comes.
Save this post. Reflect on it.
The journey is long, but the gains can be real.
