The market doesn't hate anyone, but it always punishes emotional traders

The market is not “pinning” you. The feeling that every order is wrong, buying leads to drops – selling leads to rises, is not because you are unlucky, but because you are trading based on emotions rather than a system. Many people enter crypto with the mindset of “quick wins,” trusting their intuition, feelings, and a few green or red candles. The result is often the same: accounts vaporize faster than the price increase of a meme coin. The truth is: the market doesn’t need you to be right – it only needs you to survive long enough. To survive and earn sustainably, you need discipline, strategy, and risk management thinking. Here are the core principles that every trader should keep in mind. Capital Management Is the Ticket to Survival in the Market Many people lose not because of incorrect analysis, but because… they enter positions too large. A 5–10% counter-wave with high margin can wipe out the entire account. The market doesn’t need to go far – just a short move against you is enough. Effective capital management strategies should include: Dividing capital into multiple parts: Exploration positionMain positionReserve capitalNever use more than 20–30% of the total account for a single trade ideaNever go all-in on one tradeNever use borrowed money, living expenses, or rent money for trading Remember: As long as you have money, there are opportunities. Burning your account means the end of the game. Stop Loss and Take Profit Are Not Formalities Every trade must have: (Stop Loss)The exit point (Take Profit) No exceptions. Stop Loss – Life Insurance Stop loss helps you: Prevent small losses from turning into disastersKeep emotions from influencing decisionsMaintain trading discipline Set stop loss at: Below important support levels when going longAbove important resistance levels when shortingAccording to market volatility (volatility) Hitting the stop loss = exit immediately. No “wait a little longer.” No “hope for a turnaround.” Take Profit – Lock in Profits The market doesn’t go up forever, nor down forever. The long-term market survivor is someone who: Knows how to take partial profitsDoesn’t chase the entire wave Common strategies: Take 50% profit at the first targetRemaining to follow the trend Trade with the Trend – Don’t Catch Falling Knives A simple but highly effective rule: Uptrend → prioritize long positionsDowntrend → prioritize short positions Don’t try to buy the bottom in a downtrend. Don’t try to sell the top in an uptrend. How to identify the trend: Higher highs and higher lows → uptrendLower highs and lower lows → downtrend Combine with moving averages: Short-term MA above long-term MA → uptrendShort-term MA below long-term MA → downtrend Don’t chase coins that pump 100–200% in a short time. Profits are limited but risks are already high. Volume and Money Flow Are the Mirrors of the Truth Price is just the surface. Volume reflects the true attitude of the money flow. Some important principles: Breakout with high volume → genuine breakoutHigh price but weak volume → distribution signsPrice rising but volume decreasing → weakening trend Additionally, monitor: On-chain money flowExchange inflows/outflowsWhale transactions Coins leaving exchanges → accumulation trendCoins continuously depositing on exchanges → high selling pressure Trade Only What You Understand Clearly The market always offers opportunities – but not every opportunity is for you. If you are: Short-term trader → focus on short-term wavesSwing trader → focus on medium-term trendsInvestor → focus on fundamentals and cycles Don’t scalp, hold, buy the dip, and swing trade all at once. No strategy fits all – only the strategy that fits you. Trade Review – The Key to Your Evolution Professional traders don’t just trade – they learn from their own history. Keep records of: Reasons for entering tradesEntry and exit pointsResultsEmotional state during trading Review weekly: What common factors do winning trades share?Where did losing trades go wrong?Is the strategy still suitable? Markets change – you must evolve too. Conclusion: The Oldest in Crypto Are the Winners Crypto is not short of geniuses. Crypto only lacks those who survive long enough to enjoy the cycle. Trading is not a game of luck. It’s a game of probability, discipline, and psychology. Use idle fundsAlways set a stop lossTrade with the trendManage capital strictlyBe patient and disciplined No one can predict the market 100% correctly. But you can build a system that tilts the odds in your favor. In crypto, you don’t need to be a star – just need to be “the one who survives long.” Wishing you clear-headed, disciplined, and persistent trading on your journey to conquer the crypto market.
