# The hardest part of the crypto world is not making money, but keeping your emotions steady! 5 practical logics to help you avoid pitfalls

As I look back on this journey, it can be easy or hard—what matters is not how many indicators you understand, but whether you can stay calm in the most chaotic moments.

I remember the year LUNA collapsed; I was stuck with an old mentor. During a drink, he said something that has stayed with me: “The market is not that mysterious; as long as you can keep your emotions steady, it will eventually give you money.”

The more I thought about it, the clearer it became: the biggest enemy in the crypto world is not the unpredictable market, but the greed and fear inherent in human nature. In a bull market, everyone is a prophet; when it dips, they all become deserters—most people lose money, not because they can't operate, but because they are led by their emotions and make choices in the opposite direction.

I have moved from a novice to where I am today, all thanks to a set of self-tested practical logics, which are not complicated but sufficient:

1. Enter steadily: Don’t rush in when there’s a rise; the real opportunities hide when the market is quiet. Start with a small position to test the rhythm; it’s a hundred times more reliable than blindly going all in;

2. Endure in a sideways market: Staying low for a long time is accumulation, while staying high for too long is risky. Low sideways means accumulation, high sideways means distribution; this is the most basic survival rule;

3. Run when it spikes, buy when it plunges: Chasing highs means you’ll catch the bags, and if it drops sharply, it can be an opportunity, but you need to look at the structure and recognize support; don’t rush blindly;

4. Buy on the downside, sell on the upside: It’s the hardest to execute but the most effective. Most people panic when they see green and become greedy when they see red, just losing money in the opposite rhythm;

5. Buy early in a dip, sell in a midday rise: In the short to medium term, this rhythm can save you countless times; though it’s not foolproof, the win rate far exceeds random guessing.

Later I understood that experts are not the ones who trade the most frequently, but those who decisively act when they should and remain still when they should wait. A single candlestick, a single volume can actually determine the direction; these are all practical experiences that come from endurance.

When the market rises, you’re afraid to jump in; when it falls, you’re afraid to add more; when you make a profit, you’re reluctant to leave; when you’re in a loss, you’re afraid to cut your losses—if these emotions don’t change, you won’t be able to hold onto your profits no matter how much you earn.

It’s not that you’re not fast enough; it’s that you’re stumbling around alone in the dark. I have a light here, with ready-made rhythms and methods; if you follow along, you can avoid many pitfalls—if you don’t keep up, you’ll just be stuck in a cycle of losses forever!
