3 Iron Rules for Short-Term Cryptocurrency Trading

1. Secure Gains and Protect Your Profits

When your coin rises more than 10% after buying, keep a close eye on it. If the price drops back to your purchase price, don’t hesitate — sell decisively to protect your capital. If you have made a profit of 20%, set a rule: do not sell unless profits are above 10%, unless you see signs of a temporary peak. With a profit of 30%, keep at least half (15%) secured before selling. This way, even if you miss the absolute peak, your money will continue to grow steadily.

2. Cut Losses Early, Don’t Dwell on Bad Trades

If your coin drops 15% (adjustable according to your risk tolerance), sell immediately to limit losses. This prevents deeper losses and keeps your capital safe. If the price rebounds later, don’t regret it — it just means your entry timing was incorrect. Always set a stop-loss before entering a trade; this is essential for disciplined trading.

3. Buy Low to Reduce Costs

If you sold and the coin price drops but you still believe in its future, repurchase the same amount to maintain your holdings and increase capital efficiency. If the price doesn’t drop much after selling and rises back to your selling price, quickly buy back — even if you pay transaction fees, this prevents losing profits. Combine this with stop-loss orders for better risk control. If price fluctuations become too erratic, consider choosing a new entry point.

Short-term cryptocurrency trading demands discipline and strategy — not guesses or luck. Quick entries and exits are not impulsive; taking profits is not cowardice; staying in cash is not giving up. Focus on timing and principles, not perfection. Close enough can be good enough.#GENIUSAct #bitcoin
