I have a senior in the crypto world, back when LUNA crashed, he also suffered huge losses with me. We were drinking and chatting, and he said something that I still remember to this day.

"This market is filled with a mob; as long as you control your emotions, it becomes an ATM."
Makes sense when you think about it.
During a bull market, everyone shouts "Hold on, hold on," but when a crash happens, they panic and cut their positions.
The ones who truly make money are those who sell off when others are greedy and buy in when others are fearful——
In a nutshell: against human nature
I have transformed from a novice to my current state, actually relying on my own trading logic. I will share with you a few of the most practical experience tips, without any fluff.
Enter steadily.
Don't get too excited and go all in when the market is sluggish. First, feel the rhythm of the fluctuations, and don't expect to make a fortune on your first trade.
Sideways market requires patience.
If it stays flat at a low position for a long time, it means accumulation; if it stays flat at a high position for a long time, it is likely to plunge.
Low horizontal connection chips, high horizontal running for headcount
Sell on the rise, buy on the dip.
If you chase the highs, you're just lifting others up; when it drops sharply, that's the opportunity, but don't blindly catch the bottom, pay attention to the position and structure.
Buy on a bearish candle, sell on a bullish candle.
This is the hardest part.
Because most people feel excited when they see a large bullish candle and fearful when they see a large bearish candle - but in fact, it's exactly the opposite.
Buy on the dip in the morning, sell on the rise in the afternoon.
I have been using this pattern all along. Although it is not 100% accurate, the probability of it being in the right direction is very high.
Infrequent trading is what makes a master.
Don't trade when the market is consolidating, just wait for a breakout. The more you want to make quick money, the easier it is to get liquidated.
There are several practical trading strategies, such as high selling and low buying in a range-bound market, following breakouts during trend changes, going with the trend in a one-sided trend, and countering important support and resistance levels. I can now use all of these proficiently.
In the past, I was confused looking at technical charts, but now I can get a general trend just by looking at a single candlestick.
Just a final reminder: trading coins is actually about the mindset.
The market is here but I'm afraid to enter, when it drops I'm afraid to buy more, when I make a profit I hesitate to exit, and when I incur a loss I dare not cut my losses.
If you're feeling a bit confused right now, it's a good idea to pause, reflect on the path you've taken, and ask yourself: do you have a strategy for trading, or are you just gambling?
I have personally witnessed a group of people grow from 10,000U to hundreds of thousands, and I have also seen more people lose everything from hundreds of thousands.
Those who can stay in the crypto world are not the most skilled technically, but the most stable.
