Writing this for those who have just stepped in and are still trying to find their rhythm.



Don’t expect any secret to getting rich overnight; I don’t make empty promises here. These are real trading experiences I’ve accumulated after repeatedly stepping into pits and paying my tuition fees.

They won’t change your dream of doubling your money overnight, but they can definitely help you avoid some pitfalls.

**First**

When a strong coin starts to pull back from a high level and then consolidates sideways for a period, don’t rush to be bearish. This is often not a bad sign. Many market movements, upon closer review, happen precisely when market sentiment cools down and everyone is hesitant, providing a new direction.

**Second**

Any coin that has been rising for two consecutive days should trigger the idea of reducing your position. This doesn’t mean the trend is over, but it’s about regaining control of the initiative.

**Third**

Coins that surge dramatically in a single day usually have inertia the next day. But at this point, don’t impulsively chase or rush to sell. The key is whether the trading volume can support the move. If volume picks up, there might still be hope; if not, be cautious.

**Fourth**

Coins that can truly go far will always give you a chance to pull back. If you can’t resist and jump in without waiting for a correction, you’re often just standing at someone else’s take-profit level.

**Fifth**

Price remains almost motionless for several days? It indicates that funds are fighting and hesitating. Wait a bit longer; if the direction still doesn’t emerge, it’s time to switch to another target. Don’t waste your precious patience on a deadlocked stalemate.

**Sixth**

After entering the market, if the next day’s price doesn’t even reach your cost zone, you must honestly admit: your judgment might be biased. Recognize when to cut losses and exit decisively—that’s the most basic respect for your own capital.

**Seventh**

Short-term emotions are built step by step. In the early stages of a trend, you can still buy low, but in later stages, you should start thinking about taking profits. Especially after several days of continuous rise, it may look prosperous, but the risks are far beyond your imagination.

**Eighth**

The relationship between volume and price always remains at the core. Mild volume increase at low levels is worth noting; but if volume surges at high levels and the price refuses to move, you must decisively exit—don’t hold onto false hopes.

**Ninth**

Only participate in upward trends. In the short term, watch when the moving averages turn; in the medium term, see if the trend shifts upward. Until the long-term trend is officially established, the main upward wave won’t easily end.

**Tenth**

Having a small capital is not a disadvantage. What truly makes a difference? Whether you can consistently execute the same strategy over the long term, and whether you have the patience to wait for your own opportunity.

---

There are indeed many opportunities in the crypto world, but the risks are equally real and piercing. Those who can go far rely never on luck, but on continuous review, correction, and survival.

If you’re feeling a bit lost now, at least don’t wander aimlessly alone. Give a like, follow, and let your thoughts be illuminated first.

These ten points can only be summarized after experiencing the pitfalls, especially the sixth one—admitting defeat is really much more comfortable than stubbornly holding on. I often get caught holding coins that are in continuous sideways trading; I need to change this habit. Patience is truly valuable. When the volume and price don't match, it's time to run. I've seen so many times where a high-volume move couldn't go further and got cut, you're absolutely right. Small funds actually have more freedom. If you have strong execution, it's easier to turn things around. I believe in this. The short-term emotional buildup point is brilliant. The later gains may look tempting, but they are actually other people's chips already.

It's the same old story, pushing for two days in a row then reducing positions. Easy to say, but... --- When price and volume don't match, I really learned my lesson by running away. --- Patience for a pullback is simply nonexistent; every time I chase high and stand guard. --- Small capital isn't really an issue, but the key is that my execution ability really can't be moved. --- The signal of gentle volume increase at low levels is actually useful, at least more accurate than my wild guesses. --- Admitting defeat is the hardest part, there are so many times I stubbornly hold on. --- Short-term emotional buildup, it sounds like I'm talking about my trading journal. --- If there's no pullback, don't rush to buy. I need to engrain this in my mind. --- Avoid before the main upward wave is established, to prevent chasing high and getting caught. --- Review, revise, and survive. Just six simple words, but they hit so hard.

nah volume analysis here is actually solid, but let's be real—most retail won't have the discipline to execute even one of these consistently

That's so true. I only understood the lesson about reducing positions after experiencing losses before. --- Point six really hit me in the heart; I've been reluctant to admit I'm wrong. --- Regarding the relationship between volume and price, I think it's the most crucial part. High volume at high prices is a trap. --- Small funds can actually stick to discipline; I believe in that. --- Continuous sideways movement truly tests human nature. If you can't hold on, you lose. --- I'm only now gradually understanding signals like gentle volume increase at low prices. --- Don't impulsively chase; I need to tattoo this on my brain. --- The risk is truly far beyond what I imagined, especially the subsequent price increases.

What should I do now that I have shorted at a high level? Can it still be salvaged?
