3 CYCLES. 1 PROFITABLE. HERE'S WHAT ACTUALLY WORKED.
Most people don't lose in a bull market because they're stupid.
They lose because they do too much, too often, in too many places.
Here's what I learned the expensive way 👇
1️⃣ Pareto Beats Diversification:
80% of your returns will come from 20% of your positions.
Ten coins in ten sectors means you get the sector right and still make nothing, because your winner was 8% of the book.
✅ Pick ONE narrative you actually understand
✅ Find the 3-4 real leaders inside it
✅ Size them like you mean it
Diversification protects wealth. Concentration builds it. Know which phase you're in.
2️⃣ There Is No "Easy Mode":
A coin doing 3x in a day is the same coin that does -50% the next.
Volatility doesn't pick a direction to be kind to you.
Two honest choices:
✅ Spot only and accept that you will sit through 50% drawdowns without flinching
✅ Trade with defined setups, entry, invalidation, target, written down before you click
Anything in between is just gambling with extra steps.
3️⃣ Use X (Twitter) But Use It Backwards:
You cannot buy what you've never heard of. Timeline is your radar.
But the correct order is:
Narrative → Sector → Research → Buy
NOT: Big account posts ticker → you buy top.
✅ Track what's rotating, not what's pumping
✅ Screen the whole sector on CoinGecko yourself
✅ Buy the ones nobody has posted about YET
Early cycle, your favourite accounts probably aren't dumping on you. Late cycle, they absolutely are. The behaviour doesn't change, the exit liquidity does.
4️⃣ Alpha For Alpha:
Small accounts don't grow alone. They grow in groups.
You will rarely be first. But being second, with three sharp people checking each other's work, beats being alone and last.
✅ Give before you ask
✅ Share the thesis, not just the ticker
✅ One good research partner > 100 signal groups
5️⃣ "I'm Not A Genius. Everything Is Just Going Up.
Repeat it daily.
In a strong trend, the market pays you for patience, not for cleverness. Every extra entry you force is another chance to fumble a position that was already working.
Overtrading in a bull market is how people turn a 10x into a 2x and then into a loss.
6️⃣ Trade Like A Business, Not A Hobby:
Would you launch a new product every single day?
Then stop trading a new setup every single day.
✅ 2-3 setups you know cold
✅ Same execution, repeated
✅ Journal every trade like it's a P&L, because it is
Boring and repeatable is what compounds.
7️⃣ Have An Exit Plan Before You Need One:
Nobody plans to round-trip a 20x. It happens because there was never a rule.
✅ Scale out into strength, not into fear
✅ Take out your initial, let the house play
✅ Decide your levels while you're calm, not while it's bleeding
Bull markets make you money. Only your exit plan lets you keep it.
The Uncomfortable Truth:
The edge in a bull market isn't finding the best coin.
It's concentration, patience, and not blowing up the position you already had right.
Less noise. Fewer trades. Bigger conviction.
