A piece of advice for all new friends: In your first year of entering the market, try to avoid overtrading a few times. You can't even imagine how much tuition you can save.

Many people want to buy the dip, buy the top, chase hot spots, or lock in positions right after entering, but honestly, the core skill isn't "picking coins," it's "knowing when to let go." When the market lacks a clear direction and prices are fluctuating back and forth, never be reckless—that's not an opportunity to make money. True profits are actually hidden after the trend is established.

There's also a common pitfall: don't fall in love with a hot coin. Once it becomes popular, the whole market is bullish, but the hype cools off just as quickly. Capital is ruthless; it only follows trends, not sentiment. When the excitement dies down and investors start to exit, if you haven't kept up, you'll be stuck holding the bag.

Conversely, when you see a volume breakout and the trend suddenly becomes clear and strong, that's often not the end of the trend but a sign of acceleration. At this point, stay calm and don't rush to sell just because prices are rising. Take your profits gradually. But remember, when a big bullish candle shoots up and the whole market is cheering, that's exactly when you should start to be cautious. After the main force completes the push, they usually shake out weak hands. Those who truly make money are the ones who take profits in time and secure their gains.

Keep your trading simple—focusing on a few key levels is enough. If the price pulls back to support and doesn't break it, that's a good opportunity to add positions; if it reaches resistance and you hesitate, reduce your holdings quickly. In short-term trading, it's less about how accurate your predictions are and more about your rhythm and timing.

One last thing to emphasize: never go all-in. Start with small amounts to test the waters, and add more once you're confident. Only when the trend is fully confirmed should you increase your position size. The longer you survive, the more likely you are to see your investments double.

Remember this: the market is always changing, but your capital isn't necessarily. Be cautious and patient—taking it slow can help you smile at the end.
