In these years of trading, I’ve realized that most people’s losses are not due to bad luck but because their minds are not equipped with the right tools.



From my own examples, those who have truly turned their small investments into a turnaround rely not on talent but on having the correct logic in their approach.

**How to operate at the tactical level?**

Focus on about ten mainstream coins daily; avoid casting a wide net looking for opportunities. Wait until you truly understand the market rhythm before taking action—it's not scary to hold back; blindly following the crowd is a dead end.

Manage your positions separately, only move one dollar at a time. No matter how fierce the market, you won’t be dragged away suddenly. Keep the number of trades limited; if the rhythm gets disrupted, rest for the day. Don’t force trades—if there’s an opportunity to exit, do so. Avoid chasing stories of reversals; trading is not a gambling or counterattack game.

**How to read market rhythm?**

The most painful part is that emotional fluctuations are on display every day. Don’t panic when the market dips in the morning; it often recovers later. When it spikes in the afternoon, avoid rushing in—it's usually to attract funds. By reading the volume correctly, the general direction is usually predictable. If volume is low and prices are falling, expect continued decline; if volume is low and prices are rising, don’t rush to follow.

**What about news strategies?**

The surge before positive news is usually when insiders have already made their moves. When the news actually hits, smart money has long since left. If you’re still waiting for a rocket, it just shows you’re late.

Don’t blame the market, nor think the world always wants to cheat you. Every candlestick and every shake-out behind it has someone’s intention—either to wipe out retail investors or to make you buy in before a sudden drop.

**Where is the key to advanced skills?**

It's about not letting emotions dominate your decisions. Stay calm when others FOMO impulse, wait for retracements when others chase highs, and escape early when others stubbornly hold losses.

Your task is not to gamble on how much you can make in a moment but to protect your life in the market. Opportunities will always come again; what matters is how long you can hold on and whether you can stay calm in the face of temptation. If you can stay composed, you are among those who truly make money.

There are definitely opportunities in the crypto space, but there are more traps. To survive and profit in this market, you need to start changing from now.
