In the crypto derivatives market, 90% of retail traders lose money—not because their technical analysis is poor or they can't read the market, but because they're trapped in the obsession of "adding on dips, shorting on rallies," and they die from reckless predictions of "tops and bottoms."

I've always told my followers who copy my trades: in trading, engrave this into your bones—trade from the right side. When it's rising, don't fear new highs; when it's falling, don't fear new lows. Don't add on dips or short on rallies. In a trending market, playing this way is guaranteed death.

Let me first correct a massive misconception among retail traders: right-side trading is not mindlessly chasing rallies and panic selling. It's about not guessing tops, not catching bottoms—only following the confirmed certainty of the trend the market has already established.

Many people always think, "The price has already rallied significantly; chasing now would be bailing out others, and I'm afraid of being at the peak." Or "The price has already fallen a lot; shorting now would miss the bottom, and I'm afraid of selling at the floor." So when it rallies, they constantly shout "We've topped out!" and short at every peak. When it falls, they constantly shout "We've bottomed out!" and catch falling knives at every dip. What happens? In a bull run, you're short all the way, getting liquidated repeatedly, watching the market surge from 2000 to 3500 while your short position gets liquidated from 2200. In a bear market, you're long all the way, averaging down with every drop, watching the market crash from 3000 to 1500 while your long position gets cut in half from 2800.

This is the cruelest truth of the market: price action never stops rising just because you think "it's gone too high," and it never stops falling just because you think "it's fallen enough." Once a trend forms, the force of momentum far exceeds your imagination. Your capital, trading against the trend in a one-sided market, is like an ant trying to stop a car—it gets crushed in an instant.

True right-side trading is letting go of your obsession with tops and bottoms and learning to be friends with the trend. In an uptrend, don't fear new highs—only fear touching the top prematurely. As long as the uptrend isn't broken, even if we've already gained 10%, 20%, we simply follow the trend and go long only, avoiding any shorts. We take the most certain, safest money from the trending upside. In a downtrend, don't fear new lows—only fear catching the bottom prematurely. As long as the downtrend hasn't reversed, even if we've already lost 10%, 20%, we simply follow the trend and short only, avoiding any longs. We don't become the "bag holder."

Many will ask again: what if the trend reverses right after I chase in? This is the trading iron law I've always emphasized: never add to losers—only set strict profit takes and stop losses, use risk-reward ratios to overcome win rates, use rules to lock in risk.

All my live copy-trading setups follow this right-side logic: for example, my 1:4 risk-reward ratio setup for ETH—I only enter on confirmed trends, never taking counter-trend positions. Throughout the entire position, I never average down or hold through losses. Once I enter, I set fixed profit targets and stop losses immediately, giving myself zero chance to add against the trend or stubbornly hold losses. The moment profit reaches 1x the risk-reward ratio, I lock in the principal. The remaining position holds with zero risk, capturing the excess returns from the trending move while ensuring winning trades never turn into losses.

Trading is inherently anti-human. The retail impulse is "fear heights, crave lows." Right-side trading uses iron discipline to fight the greed and fear deep in your bones.

Stop trying to buy at the absolute lowest and sell at the absolute highest. No one in the market can precisely predict tops and bottoms. Those who always chase "buying low and selling high" eventually just get slapped by the trend repeatedly. The money you actually make is always from the trends you understand and can catch.

If you want to keep pace and stop getting liquidated on the wrong side of trending moves, follow my live copy-trading setup directly. Strictly execute right-side trading discipline—no guessing tops, no catching bottoms—and use confirmed risk-reward ratios to capture every wave of profit in the trend. $ETH
