From 50,000 in debt to earning 1 million? That TRB crash finally taught me how trading works!
Around New Year’s Day 2024, TRB saw a dramatic price swing, falling from around $593 to around $209.
$DOOD Some people bought in at the peak and got trapped, some held on until they were liquidated, and others seized the opportunity.
That move taught me that the crazier the market gets, the more you need to focus on capital flows, sentiment, and risk—not just price.
Looking back on that market move, I’ve summed up three takeaways.
First, watch out for unusual capital flows.
At the time, I was paying close attention to large TRB transactions, futures funding rates, and market sentiment.
The higher the price climbs and the more crowded bullish sentiment becomes, the more alert you should be to risk. But unusual capital flows don’t necessarily mean a price drop is coming. Indicators can only help inform your judgment; they can’t guarantee accurate predictions.
$AGT Second, plan your exit before you enter.
In an overheated market, I first assess short-selling opportunities and plan my entry, stop-loss, and staggered profit-taking levels.
Don’t always aim to sell at the very top. What matters is exiting promptly when you’re wrong and locking in profits according to plan when you’re right.
Without a stop-loss plan, even the best call can turn into a gamble.
Third, don’t rush to buy the dip after a crash.
A big drop doesn’t mean the bottom is in.
Watch to see whether the price stabilizes, how trading volume changes, and whether key levels hold. If there’s no signal that fits your plan, wait patiently.
$PTB This market move taught me one thing:
Getting the direction right is only the beginning. Managing risk and protecting profits—that’s what real trading skill is about.
If you don’t understand the market, wait. If your judgment is wrong, cut your losses. When an opportunity appears, follow your plan.
