In the world of investing, there is a simple formula that 95% of retail forget:
- Don't buy on emotional pump.
- Don't sell on panic drawdown.
Sounds simple, but almost no one follows it. Why?
Because investing is not just about money and knowledge. It is also about self-control.
You pay:
- With money
- With skills (technique, strategy)
And, most importantly — with your emotions
The problem is that emotions always arise where large movements begin:
- the market is rising — you are afraid of missing out
- the market is falling — you want to urgently sell 'before it goes to zero'
How to survive and win: create a 'dual system'
1. Indicator-based system
— Technical approach: levels, volumes, RSI, EMA, trends
— Entry and exit based on clear rules
— Without emotions: only signals
2. Fundamental dynamic model
— Monitoring news, metrics, flows, on-chain
— Understanding of macroeconomics and cycles
— Assessment of 'where we are' in the market phase
Goal:
Reduce the influence of emotions to 10% or less
→ This will give you an advantage over 95% of retail players who make decisions based on fear and greed.
Remember:
Pump is bait.
Dumping is a test.
Success is strategy + patience + a cool head.
The market always punishes emotions.
You either control them — or you become fodder for those who do.
