Greed is the biggest enemy in the crypto world. Controlling it makes earning money not so mysterious.

Why can't most people cut their losses? It's not that they don't understand the principle, but they can't get past the psychological barrier—losing and wanting to turn things around, falling and expecting a rebound, reciting discipline but still wanting to gamble again. Watching the account's unrealized losses grow larger and convincing themselves "it's okay, just wait." That's not persistence; it's greed squeezing you to death.

I've been through it myself—staying up late watching charts, chasing highs and selling lows, losing more energy than working a job. Later, I figured out a simple method to stabilize the situation: only trade signals I truly understand, ignore other tempting market movements, even if it means missing opportunities, rather than messing around.

These lessons are built from real experience with real money:

**1. Timing is crucial, more stable after 9 PM**
During the day, information is everywhere, and the market is like a headless fly bumping around, with candlesticks jumping up and down, making it hard to see the rhythm. In the evening, fewer participants, calmer emotions, and the trend becomes more regular, with a clearer sense of direction.

**2. Trust technical indicators, not "feelings"**
Intuition is the biggest liar. Before making a move, at least check these three:

· Is MACD forming a golden cross or death cross, and what is the trend?
· Is RSI in overbought or oversold territory?
· Are Bollinger Bands tightening or already opening upward/downward?

If at least two indicators give consistent signals, then consider following the trend.

**3. Stop-loss is not a dead set, but a tool to be used actively**
When you can monitor the market in real-time: move your stop-loss higher with each upward wave to lock in profits.
When you can't watch all the time: set a hard stop-loss (like 3%), and stick to it—don't ruin this line of defense just because you want to "wait and see."

**4. Candlestick reading, focus on two key points**
· For short-term trades: wait until at least two consecutive candles on the 1-hour chart show the same direction before following the trend.
· When direction is unclear: switch to the 4-hour chart, look for opportunities near support/resistance levels, and make decisions based on key points.

**5. Avoid emotional traps**
Coins like Dogecoin and Shitcoins, driven purely by emotion, can skyrocket or crash violently. You might think you're catching opportunities, but you're actually just serving as someone else's chips and bagholders.

Final heartfelt advice: In the crypto world, what's harder than admitting mistakes is giving up the illusion of a "big reversal" with one move.

Greed once can wipe out weeks or even months of profits.
A single stop-loss can often preserve your entire month's gains.
True experts are never about who earns the most—it's about who loses the least and survives the longest. $BTC is always there, opportunities won't disappear. To stay steady and keep the rhythm, the key is to have a trading discipline you trust.
