Iโve spent the last seven years trading crypto, and hereโs the truth no one tells you:
๐ What you earn is never luck.
๐ Itโs always a mix of understanding + discipline.
In my first 3 years, I lost over $100,000.
Yes โ six figures, gone.
My mindset shattered again and again, like glass under a hammer.
I questioned myself, my choices, my future. But I didnโt quit.
Instead, I sat with the pain, stared at the charts, and studied my mistakes like a surgeon reviewing a failed operation.
Eventually, I clawed my way back.
I recovered what I lost โ and stacked several hundred thousand more.
Same market. Same tools. Different brain.
And what I learned can be summarized in one brutal truth:
> The market always repeats. But 99% of people repeat the same mistakes.

The 3 Types of Traders
๐ง 90% trade off the news. They chase pumps and panic dump.
๐ 9% copy whales, hoping someone else knows the answer.
๐ฅ 1%? They follow a system โ cold, calm, mechanical.
I became part of the 1%. Hereโs how.

Step 1: Know Your Moving Averages Like Family
I treat my Moving Averages like doctors in a hospital:
5-day MA: Emergency room doctor โ fast, reactive, always checking the pulse.
30-day MA: Internal medicine โ steady, careful, not in a rush.
60-day MA: Specialist โ slow, deliberate, but when they act, they mean it.
๐ When the 5-day breaks above both the 30 and 60?
Thatโs either a liftoff signal or an ICU alert. Either way, I listen.
๐ When the 5-day dives below them?
Iโm out. No questions asked.

Step 2: Emotion โ Strategy
Write this down, or tattoo it on your trading screen:
> โWhen MAs tangle, the wise stay out.โ
If the 5 and 30 are dancing like twisted noodles, thatโs not a trade. Thatโs a dice roll.
Real hunters wait. They donโt blink until all three MAs point in the same direction. Only then, they strike.

Step 3: Discipline Is the Weapon
Plans on paper are worthless if your hands canโt follow through.
Most people flinch at the first red candle, abandon their plan, and rewrite their entire strategy mid-trade.
Winners? They execute like machines. No fear. No rush. No hesitation.

Final Words
Iโve learned that crypto isnโt about catching every move.
Itโs about waiting for the right setups and executing with discipline.
I lost six figures before I understood this.
Now, I trade calmly, consistently โ and profitably.
The market will always repeat.
The question is: Will you repeat your mistakes, or your discipline?
