Many beginners jump into the crypto world and can't wait to trade frequently, but often things don't go as planned. Today, I want to share an experienced person's advice — really, trading less can save you years of tuition fees.



I once saw a new friend who wanted to seize every opportunity as soon as he entered the market. When the market showed no clear direction and prices fluctuated back and forth, he still impulsively placed orders, losing several thousand dollars in just half a month. It was only later that he realized such market conditions aren't worth participating in; true profits are hidden after a trend is established.

Another common pitfall — never become obsessed with hot coins. When a coin is popular, the market is unanimously optimistic, but as the hype fades quickly, funds always follow the trend, not sentiment. Someone might develop feelings for a hot coin, and when the hype dies down, they fail to exit in time, ending up trapped.

Regarding market judgment, these details are crucial: when you see a volume breakout and the trend suddenly becomes decisive and strong, it often indicates acceleration rather than the end. At this point, hold your position; don’t sell at the first sign of a rise — take your profits fully. Conversely, when a huge bullish candle lifts the price and the entire market cheers, be more cautious — major players usually start to shake out after a rally, and only those who can successfully lock in profits are true winners.

Trading methods don’t need to be complicated — just focus on a few key levels: if the price tests support and doesn’t break below, it’s a buy signal; if it hesitates at resistance, it’s time to reduce your position. Short-term trading is about rhythm, not some magical prediction.

And the most important tip — never go all-in at once. Start with small amounts to test the waters, gradually add more, and only increase your position once the trend is confirmed. Remember this — the market is always there, but your capital might not last until that day.

For beginners, being more cautious and slower can actually help you go further. Living long enough gives you the confidence to aim for doubling your investment. Those who survive and profit in this market are not the conservative ones, but those who know how to act precisely amid risks.

Really, don't be so reckless. I ended up paying tuition multiple times because of frequent trading. This article is spot on; you really shouldn't touch the market during volatile periods. I learned that the hard way. I've also chased popular coins, and as the article says, I got trapped and lost a lot. Turns out, in the crypto world, this is just an IQ tax. The part about breaking out with volume is correct. I used to sell at the slightest rise, but I missed out on the big moves. Now I try to hold, but it's still easy to get emotionally overwhelmed. Hitting all-in once is something I never want to do again. That feeling can really bankrupt a person. Small tests are now a habit I can't break. Living longer is indeed important. Compared to those who go all-in at once, we who get liquidated repeatedly still have a chance to turn things around, as long as we don't lose our minds.

Wow, isn't this just my blood, sweat, and tears? Someone should have said it so directly earlier. The itch to trade is truly the number one killer in the crypto world, no doubt. Have feelings for popular coins? Bro, that hits close to home. That's how I got trapped, and now I feel disgusted whenever I see that coin. Honestly, those who survive are never the ones who go all-in every day, just like that.

Uh... to put it simply, people who can't resist temptation and are reckless have already been liquidated. Going all-in is really gambler's thinking; I've seen too many people like that.
