Being early in trading isn't the same as being right—more often than not, it just gets you liquidated. Proper entry timing is the primary rule of survival.

​1. The "It Dropped So I Bought" Trap: Just because an asset looks cheap doesn't mean it can't drop another 50%. Buying the dip without reversal confirmation is a amateur mistake. Be patient.

​2. Don't Chase Momentum Candles:

• ​🛑 Never go LONG on a PUMP! FOMOing into vertical green candles makes you exit liquidity for market makers.
  

• ​🛑 Never go SHORT on a DUMP! Shorter-term relief bounces will catch you off-guard and wipe you out.
