Have you been feeling more and more exhausted in the crypto world lately? The market is always volatile, breakouts are often false signals, and your account has never been stable—chasing highs only to get trapped, bottom-fishing leading to being buried, and staring at charts every day makes you want to smash your phone.
But I want to say: market conditions don’t mean you can’t make money. The key is how you approach trading.
Some rely on emotions to place orders, and in the end, they cut losses emotionally. We need a different mindset—trade based on rules, not luck.
How to do it? It’s actually just a few points:
**When the market is sideways, trade within the range—don’t think about getting rich in one move.** Short at the upper boundary, long at the lower boundary, and profit from the price swings. This applies to main cryptocurrencies like ETH, BTC, SOL. Greed will only lead to losses when the range is broken.
**When the market is chaotic and unclear, reduce your position or even go completely flat and observe.** Not every moment calls for full positions. Preserve your strength, wait for clear signals before acting—this is more profitable than blindly holding onto positions.
**When no clear opportunities are visible, wait quietly.** Don’t let anxiety force you into trades. Holding cash is also a trading decision.
Ultimately, trading isn’t about how often you make moves, but how accurate your market judgment is. Less impulsiveness, more patience—over the long term, the difference in returns is significant.

That's right, but it's too easy to be emotionally driven. I admit I have indeed cut some losses a few times recently.

That's right, it's easy to say but hard to do. I think most people still get stuck at the stage of frequent trading.

Closing a position truly is an art. I've been burned too many times by anxious trading.
