The dumbest and most stable method of trading cryptocurrencies is actually the approach that can capture most of the market's profits. Slow down to go far.

Three mistakes you must never make:

1. Never chase highs — be fearful when others are greedy, make buying dips a habit.
2. Never blindly add positions — don't predict tops and bottoms, only act when the trend is clear.
3. Never go all-in easily — going all-in loses your control, lacking capital is the real missed opportunity.

Six golden rules for short-term trading:

1. Wait during consolidation — enter only after direction is confirmed.
2. Don't trade during sideways movement — rest during consolidation, not trading is also a form of trading.
3. Buy on red candles, sell on green candles — build positions when candles close down, exit when green candles lose momentum.
4. Drop speed determines rebounds — the faster it drops, the stronger the rebound, accelerating declines are often opportunities.
5. Pyramid accumulation — light initial position, add only after profits, don't average down on losses.
6. Exit on breakouts — don't chase highs and lows, exit decisively on breakdowns, enter decisively when lows reverse.

Trading isn't about who's smarter, it's about who can control themselves.
