Trading short-term in the crypto market isn’t as mysterious as people think.

The real core of short-term trading is discipline + execution, not prediction + passion.
Here are six ironclad short-term rules I’ve repeatedly validated over the years:

1⃣ Consolidation always leads to a breakout: Patience is your advantage
If the price is moving sideways at the top, don’t chase.
If it’s grinding sideways at the bottom, don’t cut losses.
If the market isn’t showing a direction, then it’s not giving you an opportunity.
The most profitable move at this time—do nothing.

2⃣ Sideways markets are ambush zones: Most liquidations happen here
Sideways periods make people itch to trade.
But the right approach is: wait for a breakout, wait for a pullback, don’t risk your life trading inside the range.
Short-term trading isn’t about frequency, it’s about who can be more patient.

3⃣ Buy on red candles, sell on green: Going against human nature is an edge
Buy after deep drops, sell after steady rises.
Sounds simple, but it’s hard to execute.
Most people panic sell at the bottom and buy at the top in euphoria.
If you do the opposite, you’re already ahead of many.

4⃣ Sharp drops are often opportunity windows
Slow declines wear down sentiment, sharp drops break structure.
But high-quality rebounds often come after sharp drops.
The real opportunity isn’t in slow moves, but when there’s an emotional breakdown.

5⃣ Build positions pyramid-style: The friendliest method for small accounts
Don’t go all in at the bottom.
Add a little every 10% drop—this lowers your average cost and increases profit space.
This is one of the best ways for small accounts to minimize risk.

6⃣ When the trend reverses, act fast, act hard, act clean
After a sharp rise and sideways movement → take out your principal, leave only profits to test the waters.
After a sharp drop and sideways movement → don’t hold on stubbornly, cut losses immediately.
Short-term trading is a fast-paced game; slow moves mean losses.

In short:
Don’t guess, don’t chase, don’t gamble.
If you just stick to the rules, control your emotions, and execute steadily, you’re already ahead of most people.
