Summary from a Crypto Veteran: 9 Essential Trading Tips for Survival



After battling in the crypto market for so long, I’ve realized that many losses can actually be avoided. Here are some trading lessons I’ve verified through real experience—hope they help you avoid unnecessary pitfalls:

1. Set up positions during consolidation or deep pullbacks; don’t chase pumps or panic sell. The real time to sell is often when market sentiment is at its peak.

2. Moderate, steady growth is a healthy trend—after sharp rises, remember to lock in profits.

3. Pullbacks after surges are normal—don’t panic. But if there’s no deep correction, don’t go all-in yet.

4. Rapid acceleration in an uptrend often signals a top. Remember: cut losses quickly during sharp drops, but you can hold patiently during slow climbs.

5. Sudden drops on low volume are usually just testing the market, but steady declines with high volume are a red flag—exit when needed.

6. Once the coin price stands above key moving averages, there’s room for swing trading operations.

7. Combine daily and weekly charts for a clearer picture of the big players’ real intentions.

8. If the price is moving up but volume isn’t following, beware—it could be a bull trap.

9. New lows on shrinking volume often mean the bottom is near. Wait for a volume-backed rebound before considering entry.

These aren’t gospel, but at least they’ll help you make fewer mistakes at critical moments. The market is always changing—maintaining a sense of respect is most important.

Well said, it's just too hard to execute.

Sounds nice in theory, but execution is key. My biggest losses happened when I knew all these principles but just couldn't control myself—chasing pumps until I went broke.

That's right, but there are still many people who forget after reading and turn around to continue chasing the highs...

Sounds nice, but you still have to learn through painful lessons yourself.

What you said is absolutely spot on, especially points 1 and 8. I used to chase the pump and got wrecked badly before, and only now am I slowly starting to understand.
