Have you ever experienced this situation—your trading account is constantly bleeding?



Looking back at your trading history, do you often place orders based on feelings? When the market goes up, you’re afraid of missing out and buy high; when it suddenly drops, you think it’s a bottom-fishing opportunity and rush in. And then? The market oscillates repeatedly, and you find yourself always buying at the top and selling at the bottom.

Actually, the problem isn’t luck or talent, but your trading mindset. Many people overlook that crypto trading has a relatively stable logic— as long as you are willing to follow it.

**Tip 1: Trend judgment is fundamental**

In a downtrend, rebounds are often traps set by the bulls— designed to lure you in before pushing the price down again. Conversely, any pullback within an uptrend is usually a good entry point. Counter-trend bottom-fishing sounds smart, but in reality, it’s going against the main force, and most end up getting burned.

**Tip 2: Don’t chase coins that surge suddenly**

Whether it’s mainstream coins like Bitcoin or smaller tokens, if the price surges too rapidly in a short period, it indicates that the main players have already taken most of the profit. Betting at high levels is just giving money to the whales.

**Tip 3: Indicators are your weapons**

Indicators like MACD are not just for show. When MACD crosses above zero and a golden cross appears, it’s a trend confirmation signal. Conversely, when a death cross occurs above zero, it’s time to start reducing your position. Trading purely on feelings will only be driven by emotions.

**Tip 4: Don’t add to your position when losing**

A fatal mistake many make is adding to losing positions—like pouring water into a broken vessel. Remember this ironclad rule: only add when you’re making a profit to increase gains; when in loss, the first choice should be to cut losses and preserve capital.

**Tip 5: Watch volume and price relationship**

A volume breakout at a low level is a follow-up signal; but if volume surges at a high level without further price increase, it’s time to exit immediately. Volume-price divergence often warns of an impending reversal.

The core trading principle is actually very simple: only trade coins in an uptrend.

When the moving average turns upward, that’s your signal to build a position. Follow the trend and avoid fighting against it. Over time, your win rate will naturally improve.

Many in the crypto space make trading too complicated, but it’s really just emotional decision-making. A clear trading framework combined with cold-blooded execution is the secret to thriving in this market.

To be honest, I used to lose money like this before, and the pain points hit home.

What you said is absolutely right, it's just that execution is too difficult, haha.

To be honest, I'm most afraid of the whole averaging down strategy; I've seen too many people get liquidated directly because of it.
