Do you have a few thousand dollars in crypto assets? The biggest test isn't market judgment, but whether you can keep a steady mindset.

The most common mistake new traders in the crypto space make is one word—impulsiveness. Watching the market turn red, they want to throw money in immediately; seeing others profit, they fear missing out. What’s the result? Frequent trading, high transaction fees, and an account that keeps shrinking.

A friend once shared his story with me. He started with 1500U, eyes glued to the candlestick chart, wanting to make ten trades in a day. In the end? Nine months later, he turned 1500U into just over 500. He laughed at himself: "The losses weren’t because I missed the market, but because I was reckless and blew my principal."

Sound familiar? This is a typical "fear of missing out syndrome." Every crypto trader has experienced it.

The real turning point came from setting a "strict trading rule": at most two entries per week, and if you're not fully confident, better to stay on the sidelines and observe. Sounds conservative? But it’s this conservatism that allowed the account to start growing steadily.

For example, last week I waited four days until SOL pulled back to the 20-day moving average, with volume and market sentiment indicating solid support, then I decisively entered a position. This trade made a 200U profit in just six hours, so I took profits immediately. At that moment, I truly understood: previous issues weren’t technical, but being led by the "fear of missing out" demon.

Since then, I force myself to analyze the big picture for three days before making any move. When volume, price, and sentiment signals align clearly, I write down my take profit and stop loss levels before acting. This "slow step" approach actually makes my net worth more stable over time.

Playing the crypto market with small funds, the secret to making money is never "doing more," but "doing less, doing precisely." Opportunities are everywhere every day, but your principal is limited. Maintaining the right mindset and strict discipline are more effective than any advanced technical skill.

In the end, trading crypto is a battle against greed and impatience. Turning around from a low point isn’t about how accurate your predictions are, but whether you can conquer your inner demons and execute consistently.

The next market wave is approaching. Instead of predicting every day, it’s better to stay calm, wait for the most confident opportunity, and then act—this is the true winning strategy in crypto trading.
