In my early years, I entered the market with a capital of 50,000, and over the next two years, I gradually grew it to 302,000. In the third year, it stabilized at 590,000, and in the fourth year, I launched fully — by August, my account reached 3.78 million, and by November, I directly surpassed 7 million.


At that time, I was very excited, left my stable job, borrowed money using leverage, and believed that "luck would always be on my side." But when the financial crisis hit, I didn’t just wake up to my profits; I also took on debts, and eventually I had to sell my house to pay them off, nearly causing my family to argue. At my lowest point, I realized that what I had earned before was luck, not skill.
After that, I didn’t make random trades for 3 years. I started reviewing and summarizing daily, and finally managed to recover using a solid logical approach. These six basic rules can help avoid 80% of mistakes:
1. Don’t be a "coin collector." I used to hold dozens of small coins, most of which became worthless. Then I realized there are only 3 basic rules: BTC for long-term preservation and avoiding missed opportunities, ETH for trading during moderate volatility, and choosing a leading coin in a strong sector ( like AI, RWA), as this is more reliable than random buying.
2. Stop trading when emotions take over. Once, the number of forced closures worldwide increased, and I didn’t stop, losing 200,000 in one day. Now I set strict rules: if the number of closures increases, or 3 large bullish candles appear on the trend, or if unqualified people follow, I stop trading for two hours and significantly reduce losses.
3. Position size is the safety line. Initially, I invested all my money, and when the market collapsed, I didn’t even have funds to buy back. Now I set the position size: 50% USDT for emergencies, 30% for good coins for long-term investment, and 20% for quick trading, keeping enough capital for recovery opportunities.
4. Don’t expect fixed profits or losses. Previously, I increased purchases when the price dropped by 10%, which led to despair. Now I set strict rules: if the price rises by 10%, I sell half the position and lock in profits; if it rises by 20%, I sell everything and switch to more stable assets; if it drops by 5%, I verify the logic before re-entering; if it drops by 10%, I close the trade and think, avoiding bearing losses.
5. Understand the market within a week. When I first entered the market, I bought randomly and lost, then I distilled 3 steps: monitor daily candles + MA10/MA30 for support and resistance; increasing volume without price rise is a false breakout; don’t follow coins at the end of the session. Within a week, you’ll understand the market.
6. Building a position is like a battle, and it should be gradual. I used to buy 3,000 riyals at once and panic at any slight deviation. Now I start with 900 riyals as a core position, buy 900 at support, add 600 at resistance breakout, and keep 600 riyals for deviations — focusing on rhythm, not speed.
The world of cryptocurrencies is not a gamble of luck; discipline is the path to long-term success.
In the crypto market, many souls have been lost, and I am content with helping only those seeking to save themselves.
