Trading requires capital size to determine your strategy. With a principal of less than 200,000, instead of frequently making trades, it's better to wait for a major trend—just catching one main upward wave per year is enough.

A common mistake among retail investors is operating with full positions, but you need to understand that you are not a market maker and cannot afford the high-frequency trial-and-error costs. Every mistake consumes your principal and psychological resilience.

This brings us back to a more fundamental question: you can't earn money beyond your level of understanding. For mainstream cryptocurrencies like BTC and ETH, the key is to understand market cycles. Instead of rushing into real positions, it's better to use a demo account to practice all your emotions—fear, greed, hesitation. A demo account can lose a hundred times without any cost. But a single major mistake in real trading could very well result in your account being wiped out.
