I Stopped Losing When I Started Following My Own Rules
For a long time, I thought success in crypto depended on timing or instinct. But the truth hit harder: without structure, losses were inevitable. The turning point came when I stopped trying to anticipate the next move—and started focusing on what the data was already telling me.
I began observing behavior patterns instead of reacting to price spikes. If a strong project declined for several days, I tracked it closely—not emotionally, but analytically. If something climbed sharply for two days, I reduced exposure. A sudden surge above 7%? I prepared for a correction, not a continuation.
I never entered during momentum peaks. I waited for consolidation, for silence after the storm. If a coin stayed stagnant for too long, I moved on. If it couldn’t recover the previous day’s range, I didn’t stay attached.
Volume became more important than headlines. Moving averages gave me structure—short, mid, long-term perspectives that kept me grounded. Even with limited capital, I found clarity by staying patient, systematic, and risk-aware.
The biggest change? I stopped trading full-time. And I stopped using capital that wasn’t mine. That decision alone prevented more damage than any strategy ever could.
