Before I buy any coin, I ask myself one simple question:
âIf I had ZERO money in this coin right now⊠would I still buy it at this price?â
Thatâs it đ
Sounds simple, but try it once.
Something funny happens to us after we buy a coin.
Before buying:
âPrice looks highâŠlet me wait.â
After buying:
âVery bullish đ„ breakout coming đâ
Same coin.
Same chart.
Same market.
Only one thing changedâŠ
Now our money is inside đ
And once our money is inside, suddenly every green candle looks bullish and every red candle becomes âjust a healthy correction.â
This is where I use my strange little rule.
I forget my entry price for a minute.
I donât think about my profit.
I donât think about my loss.
I simply open the chart and imagine:
I DONâT OWN THIS COIN.
Then I ask myself again:
WOULD I BUY THIS NOW?
If my answer is YES, good. Now I want to know why.
Is price holding an important level?
Is the trend still strong?
Is volume supporting the move?
Is momentum still healthy?
Or am I saying YES only because I already own it? đ
And if my answer is NOâŠ
Then I have another question:
If I wouldnât buy it here, why am I expecting everyone else to buy above me? đ
That question has saved me from becoming emotionally attached to a chart many times.
Indicators are useful.
Support and resistance are useful.
Volume is useful.
News is useful.
But sometimes the most dangerous indicator on our screen is something we cannot see:
OUR OWN BIAS.
I am not saying sell a coin just because you wouldnât buy it again today. Holding and entering are two different decisions.
My point is simpler:
Donât let your entry price decide what you see on the chart.
Market doesnât know where you bought.
Market doesnât care about your target.
And market definitely doesnât care that you need 20% more to recover your loss đ
So next time you open a coin youâre holding, try this once.
Forget your entry.
Forget your P&L.
Look at the chart like youâre seeing that coin for the first time.
Then ask:
WOULD I BUY THIS NOW?
Your answer may surprise you đ
