To truly get started in the crypto world, you need to understand these eight words

The most valuable quality in front of a candlestick chart is knowing what money should be earned and what money should be given up. After years of struggling in the crypto world, the most heartfelt advice I want to give my fellow traders is this: Those who truly grasp the essence deeply understand the weight of the eight words, "Don't earn small money, don't lose big money."

01 Major trends are the "anchor" for ordinary people
People often ask me why my trades are relatively stable. The answer is simple: I only recognize large trends at the weekly and monthly chart levels.
For ordinary players like us:
We don’t have access to insider institutional information,
We don’t have a professional analysis team,
The only thing we can rely on is the charts themselves.
When there is a clear inflection point on the weekly or monthly chart, that’s a true signal to enter with real capital. Laying out positions at this point keeps your mindset steady, helps you hold on, and ultimately brings the most considerable returns.

02 The trap of small swings: The harder you try, the more you lose
In contrast, below the daily chart, especially the 15-minute chart:
The changes are completely random, like a madman dancing.
Frequent trading only leads to constant stop-losses,
The more you lose, the more panicked you get; the more panicked you are, the more mistakes you make.
When I first entered the market, I was full of confidence, thinking I could catch every small fluctuation:
I wanted to catch every rebound of just a few tenths of a point,
Reluctant to miss any short-term pullback.
In the end, the market taught me repeatedly.
From the initial "full of passion" to later "walking on thin ice," I finally understood:
Those who try to catch every opportunity end up missing all the real ones.

03 Human weakness: Pursuing perfection is the most imperfect
The market is inherently filled with uncertainty, but human nature, on the contrary:
Fears risk and pursues a "100% win rate."
Reluctant to let go of small profits, unwilling to cut large losses.
This ultimately leads to the path of frequent trading.
This is the classic "trying to make small money but losing big money":
Wanting to participate in every small fluctuation, opening positions frequently,
Unwilling to set stop-losses, getting deeper and deeper into losses,
Unable to cut losses, which only makes losses worse.

04 The ultimate trading wisdom: Making peace with yourself
The essence of trading is a battle with your own human nature:
If you’re afraid of losses, set stop-losses in advance and don’t hold on stubbornly.
If you want to make money, take a longer-term approach and let profits run.
If you're greedy for small gains, you're destined to miss out on big trends.
Those who can truly stand firm in the crypto world have all learned to:
Give up the temptation of small swings,
Focus on big opportunities,
Only trade according to their rules.
The secret to success is actually very simple: Cut losses short, let profits run.

When you no longer covet those tiny gains, you’ll naturally avoid the major, bone-crushing losses. Once you’re on the right path, compounding will come to you on its own. More importantly, in this market, one person can go fast, but a group can go far. It doesn’t matter if I go fast; only by going steadily together can we witness even greater horizons.
