I thought I was trading... but I was just guessing
When I entered the world of cryptocurrencies, I was carried away by the excitement of "trading." I bought and sold with every market movement, reacting to FOMO, panic, tweets... but without any analysis or strategy.
❌ I had no entry or exit plan.
❌ I didn’t understand technical indicators.
❌ I didn’t manage risk.
❌ And worse yet, I confused long-term investing with short-term speculation.
What I was doing was not trading. It was emotional guessing. And the market does not forgive improvisation.
💡 Over time, I understood the difference between investing and trading:
Investing is thinking long-term, believing in a project, and holding it with patience.
Trading is a discipline that requires analysis, emotional control, and risk management.
Today, I operate with more clarity:
✅ I analyze charts before entering
✅ I use stop-loss and take-profit
✅ I separate my investment capital from my trading capital
✅ And when I don’t see a clear opportunity, I simply don’t enter
