📈 My 7-Year Crypto Journey: The Lessons That Changed Everything

I started trading crypto in 2017. Thought I’d get rich fast. Entered the bull run with big dreams… and zero strategy. The market didn’t take long to give me a reality check.

Now, after 7 years of staring at charts, celebrating wins, and nursing losses, I finally understand what separates consistent traders from those who burn out. Here’s what I wish I knew back then:

1️⃣ Always Have a Plan Before You Enter

Before every trade, I write down three things:

2️⃣ Only Risk What You Can Afford to Lose

Never trade with rent money, EMIs, or your grocery budget. Stress will cloud your judgment.

Start small. You can always scale up once you’re consistently profitable.

---

3️⃣ Greed Eats Your Profits

I’ve watched solid gains turn into painful losses just because I got greedy and didn’t take profits.

Set targets and stick to them. The market will still be here tomorrow.

---

4️⃣ Build Your Own Trading Style

Copying someone else’s trades blindly doesn’t work. Some people thrive at scalping, others at swing trading.

I wasted two years trying to trade like my favorite YouTuber. Total disaster.

---

5️⃣ Your Emotions Are the Real Enemy

FOMO and panic selling have cost me more than bad analysis ever did.

When you feel that urgent “I have to get in now” itch — that’s usually your cue to step away.

---

6️⃣ Patience Beats Speed Every Time

The best traders are “boring.” They wait for the right setups, avoid chasing pumps, and are fine missing moves that don’t fit their plan.

I used to think I needed to trade every day. Now I know: sometimes the best trade is no trade.

---

7️⃣ Think Long-Term, Even in Short-Term Trades

One bad trade doesn’t make you a bad trader. One good trade doesn’t make you a genius.

Focus on being consistently profitable over months and years.

Keep a trading journal. Learn from every single trade.
