I'm back again. You can practice short-term trading with event contracts. For long-term trading, unless there is a significant market movement to enter a position, otherwise don't make a plan.
This is how it is this year. I originally only had one BTC short position, opened at 72000, the lowest was 73000 and I didn't sell, 2400, 3 ETH, held until the lowest was 1300 and didn't sell. During this time, I didn't trade much for a few months, but just the day before yesterday, I got restless and stayed up late to watch the Federal Reserve's interest rate cut. It was 100% certain it wouldn't be cut. The next day I woke up feeling dizzy, sold my ETH long position at the breakeven price of 1833, and it surged. I thought I would just short a little and run, but it skyrocketed. I was a bit flustered but okay, added to my position. I only needed a 2% pullback to break even, so I became firmly bullish on ETH again. However, it surged directly that night and the next day as well. Since it was ETH at a low position, I knew that once it surged, the rebound space would be too large. Later, I went short on SOL, but that was a fatal mistake. It has been too strong these days. I went heavily short again, which led to me being mentally confused while watching the market for the past two days. So I decided to exit, and I also didn't need the remaining positions. I made a profit, but I can't let myself get too tired. After calculating, I still made a small profit of $ETH .
After staying up all night, I didn't expect to explode when I woke up. Even if I exploded, the cost price was gone. I thought I might have been fooled, I'm empty now, it's my first time being empty, you really want to play with me, ah really, why are you like this#交易故事 $ETH
Today there wasn’t much of a big market movement, BTC and ETH were both stagnant, and I had no plans to take action. But after lunch, I casually opened Binance and saw BNB gently rising a little bit; I felt a bit restless, just like seeing a glowing lottery shop sign by the roadside, always wanting to try my luck.
Watching it rise slowly, I thought to myself: "Just buy a little bit, practice my skills." So I made a small investment and bought some BNB. But right after I bought it, it just—stopped moving. Really, it didn’t move at all. I felt like someone waiting for takeout, refreshing every five minutes, "Why is it still not here?"
I began to fall into self-doubt: Should I not have bought it just now? Is today not the right time to take action? Am I just not cut out for trading? Later, I simply closed the app and went to wash the dishes.
When I returned and took a look, hey! It had quietly risen by 2.1%. I felt a little excited, my finger hovering over the “sell” button. But I was conflicted inside: if I sell, I’ll make a few bucks, but what if it continues to soar? Just as I was deliberating, it dipped a little. I immediately came to my senses: Alright, don’t be greedy, lock in your gains first!
I hit sell, and after settling, the profit was less than the cost of a meal, but I felt pretty happy. Because it wasn’t just about making a few bucks, but rather: I maintained my composure, made the right decision, and wasn’t led around by the market.
In the crypto world, at the end of the day, it’s more about competing with oneself. Today’s brief encounter with BNB taught me: not every trade needs to be earth-shattering; small gains and stability are also a kind of victory. #交易故事 $ETH
Today, opening Binance, BTC is as steady as an old dog, ETH has no temper, BNB is making small waves, and SOL is unusually quiet. The whole market feels like nap time, with no significant movements. When I first entered the cryptocurrency world, I was quite excited, thinking every day would be a ‘roller coaster’, but now the atmosphere has shifted, feeling like entering a library, with coins quietly meditating.
So what should we do when the cryptocurrency market is inactive? I’ve summarized a few points on the ‘daily operations guide for low volatility’ to share with everyone.
First, not trading is also a form of trading. During dull market conditions, impulsiveness is the easiest way to make mistakes. Think about it, when there’s no opportunity, forcing a trade will likely result in losing fees. So today, I didn’t make any trades; I just opened the app to look at charts and study K-line trends, treating it as an exercise for my eyes.
Second, reviewing and learning is key. When the market is quiet, it’s actually a golden time for newcomers. I took this opportunity to reorganize my trading logs to see which times I impulsively bought in, and which times I was greedy and didn’t sell. I also watched a few basic videos to learn how to set support and resistance levels, feeling it’s more meaningful than chasing highs and lows.
Third, organizing assets and optimizing positions. For example, I previously bought SOL on a whim, and now my position is a bit heavy; now that I’ve come to my senses, it’s a good time to gradually reduce my holdings to adjust my portfolio. With low volatility, there's no rush to sell or excitement to buy, making the operations more rational.
Of course, doing nothing occasionally is also quite nice. Brew a cup of tea, check the charts, scroll through cryptocurrency news, and listen to those ‘experts’ ramble; it’s quite entertaining as a pastime.
There’s a saying in the cryptocurrency world: ‘Only those who can wait can make money.’ Today, I deeply experienced this. When the market is silent, what we should do is not to urge it to rise quickly, but to cultivate our patience, strategy, and emotions. Calm seas are also a part of growth. $ETH
Today is the n-th day since I officially stepped into cryptocurrency trading. The platform I chose is Binance, and I picked a few 'big brother' cryptocurrencies: BTC, ETH, BNB, and the recently popular SOL. To be honest, the moment I opened the interface, I felt a bit nervous. Although I’ve heard that this market rises and falls like a roller coaster, when it comes to actually trading, even just clicking the buy button feels as serious as posting on social media for the first time.
I didn't expect to get rich overnight from this. Honestly, that kind of myth of explosive growth is exciting to watch, but believing in it will likely turn into a collection of lessons learned the hard way. My principle is just two words: 'preserve capital.' I don’t expect to double my investment in a day, but I hope that the coins I buy today won’t make me doubt my life tomorrow.
While watching the market, I discovered a little joy: the fluctuation rhythms of these coins actually have quite a character. BTC is like a steady big brother, not too chaotic; ETH is more active, like a middle-aged person working in tech; BNB is stable, a bit like Binance's favored child; as for SOL, it’s like a trendy youth, often making flashy fluctuations that make my hands itch while watching.
