The people who survive the longest in this market are not always the busiest traders.

True winners often do the counterintuitive—they know when to stay put. Beginners rush to buy the dip or chase highs, fearing to miss every wave of the market. But if you look closely, the most valuable skill in trading is never about whether you can buy, but about knowing when to do nothing at all.

Choppy sideways movements without a clear direction are essentially draining your patience and capital. Large funds never fight in chaos; they wait for the trend to be confirmed and the direction to be sufficiently clear.

Don't get emotionally attached to any asset. When the hype arrives, the market will help inflate the story to the ceiling; but once the hype fades, funds will withdraw so quickly that you won’t have time to react. You can participate, but always be prepared to exit completely at any moment.

A volume breakout is not the end; it’s actually the start of an acceleration in the trend. After the trend is established, minor pullbacks on smaller timeframes shouldn’t cause panic. The real regret is usually not the pullback itself, but getting scared and exiting too early.

When the screen is filled with giant candles and overwhelming popularity, it’s time to switch to a defensive mode. After a climax, a washout often follows.

The simpler the trading, the closer you are to profit. Buying at key support levels that hold is a good entry opportunity; when near resistance and indecisive, reducing your position promptly is never wrong. Short-term trading relies not on prediction but on rhythm and timing.

Start with small positions to test and find the direction. Once signals are confirmed, gradually add. Going all-in will only cause you to be forced out early. How long you can survive in the market determines how long you can profit. The trend will come back eventually, but your capital may not. Being slower and more steady makes it easier to hold on until the end.
