$ETH In the cryptocurrency futures market, 90% of retail traders lose money. It's never because their technical analysis is poor or they can't read the market. They lose because they're stuck in the obsession of "buying the dip and shorting the pump," dying to the mindless predictions of "tops and bottoms."



I've always told my followers to engrave this into their bones when trading: right-side trading—don't fear highs when it's rallying, don't fear lows when it's falling. Don't buy dips and short rallies. In a trending market, this playstyle guarantees total loss.

Let me correct a major misconception most retail traders have: right-side trading isn't mindlessly chasing rallies and dumping—it's not guessing tops, not catching bottoms, just following the confirmed, certain trends the market has already established.

Many people think: the price has already rallied so much, chasing now means catching the top, fearing you're standing on the mountain peak; the price has already dropped so much, shorting now means missing the bottom, fearing you're selling at the floor. So when it rallies, they scream "top's in" daily and short every bounce; when it drops, they scream "bottom's in" daily and buy every dip. What happens? Bull market, shorting all the way, getting liquidated repeatedly, watching the price surge from 2000 to 3500 while your shorts go from 2200 to liquidation; bear market, longing all the way, adding on every dip, watching the price crash from 3000 to 1500 while your longs go from 2800 to cutting your capital in half.

This is the cruelest truth of the market: the market won't stop rallying just because you think "it's too high," and it won't stop falling just because you think "it's fallen enough." Once a trend forms, the power of momentum far exceeds your imagination. Your capital, operating against a trending market, is like a mantis trying to stop a chariot—crushed in an instant.

True right-side trading is letting go of your obsession with tops and bottoms, learning to befriend the trend. In uptrends, don't fear new highs, only fear topping early. As long as the uptrend isn't broken, even after rallying 10%, 20%, we only trade long with the trend, never touching any shorts, earning the most certain, safest money in the trend. In downtrends, don't fear new lows, only fear catching the bottom early. As long as the downtrend hasn't reversed, even after falling 10%, 20%, we only trade short with the trend, never touching any longs, not becoming the market's "bag holder."

Many ask: what if I chase in and the trend reverses? This is the trading iron law I've always emphasized: no averaging down, only strict stop-profit and stop-loss, use profit-loss ratios to cover win rates, use rules to lock in risk.

All my real account copy-trade positions follow this right-side logic: for example, ETH's 1:4 profit-loss ratio positioning only enters confirmed trends, never opens counter-trend positions; throughout the entire trade, no averaging, no holding losses, set fixed stop-profit and stop-loss upon entry, never giving myself chances to add to losing positions or hold losses stubbornly; once profit reaches 1x the profit-loss ratio, immediately lock the principal, let remaining positions ride risk-free—this way you neither miss excess gains in trending markets nor let winning trades turn into losses.

Trading is inherently anti-human. Retail instinct is "fear heights, crave lows." Right-side trading uses iron discipline to fight the greed and fear in your bones.

Stop always trying to buy at the lowest point and short at the highest. No one in the market can precisely predict tops and bottoms. Those always wanting to "buy lowest, sell highest" eventually get repeatedly slapped by the trend. The money you can actually earn is always the money in trends you understand and can grasp.

If you want to keep pace and don't want to get liquidated counter-trend in trending markets anymore, directly follow my real account copy-trades. Strictly execute right-side trading discipline, don't guess tops or catch bottoms, use certain profit-loss ratios to lock in every wave of gains from the trend.$ETH
