Most beginners think trading is about guessing if a coin goes up or down. It’s not. Real trading is about having a system that makes the decisions for you so your emotions don't have to.
If you want to move from "luck" to "success," follow these 4 simple steps:
🛑 Step 1: Decide When NOT to Trade
The hardest part of trading isn't buying it's waiting.
The Rule: Only trade when the market is in a clear trend.
Filter: If the price is below the 30-week Moving Average (MA), stay out! Protect your capital.
Pro Tip: Cash is also a position. If there’s no clear setup, doing nothing is a winning move.
🏆 Step 2: Trade Only the Best Assets
Don't chase every "shitcoin" on the gainers list. Look for:
Structure: Higher Highs and Higher Lows (Uptrend).
Volume: High volume when the price breaks out (this shows big players are buying).
Strength: Choose coins that are performing better than Bitcoin or the overall market index.
😴 Step 3: Keep Your Setup "Boring"
If your strategy is complicated, it probably won't work. A winning setup is simple:
Entry: Buy just above the breakout point.
Stop Loss: Place it below the recent low to protect yourself.
Target: Aim for at least a 1:2 Risk to Reward ratio. (Risk $1 to make $2).
🛡️ Step 4: Risk Management is Everything
This is the difference between a business and a gamble.
The Formula: Never risk more than 1% of your total capital on a single trade.
Small Position + Planned Stop = A Sustainable Business.
Big Position + No Stop = Gambling.
💡 Final Checklist for Your System:
✅ Trend Filter (Are we in an uptrend?)
✅ Clear Entry & Exit Rules
✅ Fixed Risk % (1% rule)
✅ Patience (Wait for the market to come to you!)
