Trading is like learning to drive; you only understand stability after falling
It has been 7 years, from the exuberance of bull markets to the silence of bear markets, the crypto world feels like an old friend and also a rival. I have lost, I have earned, I have trembled while staring at the screen at midnight, and I have tried to follow the 'gods' only to end up doubting life after being cut—finally, I understand one thing: on the path of trading, ultimately, you have to ride it yourself and understand it.
1. Don’t hand over the steering wheel to others
In the early days, I always wanted to copy others, following the big accounts’ calls, only to find that: their stop-loss points might be your liquidation levels. The most genuine rule in the crypto world is: when you profit, no one shares it with you; when you lose, no one compensates you. Instead of searching everywhere for a 'wealth code,' it’s better to calm down and review your own trading records—what trades were made impulsively? What opportunities did you miss?
2. Loneliness is the norm, but don’t build a car behind closed doors
When the market is good, the group chat has 99+ messages, but during bear markets, people are too lazy to even send memes. However, the only two things that can truly accompany you through cycles are:
Your trading system (for example, 'open a position only after a breakout of the previous high with volume reduction')
Your emotional switch (during a crash, do you feel the urge to add to your position or stick to the plan and cut losses?)
3. My practical plan (for example 🌰)
Only trade BTC and ETH: altcoins are like riding a bike while drunk; they are likely to flip over
Opening conditions: after the daily trend is established, wait for a 4-hour pullback that doesn’t break the previous low
Stop-loss: single trade loss does not exceed 2% of the principal, and never move the stop-loss
Take profit: exit in three batches, leaving the last 10% position to bet on the tail of the trend
4. Remember the bicycle principle
No one learns to ride a bike just by watching teaching videos 100 times; profit = number of trial and error × quality of reflection. Lost money today? Write it down: 'Why did I lose? How can I avoid it next time?'—this is more useful than reading 10 analyst articles.
In a bull market, everyone seems like a stock god, but the bear market is the real graduation season. Those late-night moments of watching candlesticks alone will eventually become your confidence when you press the buy button in the future.
The market is still brewing; if you don’t understand how to play yet, that’s okay, hurry up and layout with me, let’s get rich together in this bull market!
