In the crypto world, many newcomers are eager to learn how to make money, but it should be the other way around—first master how not to lose money.

Whenever you want to open a position, pause for 3 seconds before placing the order and ask yourself: What is the maximum loss I can tolerate on this trade? If you can't answer, then don't touch it. This is not conservatism; it's the basic skill to survive longer. Once stop-loss is set properly, even if your judgment is wrong, your account won't be wiped out.

You can't change the market's temperament. Instead of fighting against the trend, it's better to follow it. When your analysis and the candlestick patterns are at odds, your first reaction shouldn't be to tough it out, but to calmly check if your logic has any flaws. The market is always right; the mistake is usually our understanding of the market.

And the last point, which is the most painful—you're not going to make money beyond your cognitive scope. Profits gained by luck will eventually be lost due to insufficient strength. Those who can truly go far are those who continuously learn market principles, study trading logic, and accumulate practical experience. Deepening your understanding is much more valuable than frequent trading.
