# Crypto world trading is just like this: no matter how hard you try, it's pointless if the method is wrong.

Anyone who has been through this market understands that the reason for losing money is never because the market looks bad; the real killer is making the wrong decisions and having the wrong people executing in the wrong direction.

In recent years, I have seen quite a few accounts make a comeback from the edge of the cliff, and they all share one common trait - they are willing to be tough on themselves and change those fatal trading habits.

**The First Hurdle: Never Go All In**

Wait, don’t rush to place your bets. Before the market gives any clear signals, try testing the waters with a small position; once the general direction really emerges, then gradually build your position. Sounds troublesome? But too many traders fail because of "impulsiveness"—they jump in without fully understanding the market, and in the end, they don’t even have the chips to turn things around.

**The second hurdle: only increase positions on profitable trades**

This point is the easiest to misunderstand. Many people firmly believe that "averaging down can reduce costs." This sounds somewhat reasonable, but in reality, it is the most insidious trap—what you are averaging down is not the cost, but burying yourself. Conversely, consider taking those already profitable trades to roll over profits, allowing profits to generate profits on their own; this is what true compound interest is.

**The Third Hurdle: Follow the Market**

The greatest test of human nature is often this one. Don't think about going against the market; wherever the market goes, you should follow. If you insist on opposing it, the market will not hesitate to deal with you. Those traders who truly survive for a long time do so not because they are smarter, but because they have incorporated the words "endure, wait, execute" into their trading discipline.

When others are crazy, they remain calm; when others are greedy, they take profits in time. This is not luck; it is discipline ingrained in their bones. Want to keep your money in the crypto world or even make money? First, establish these old rules firmly; they are more effective than any technique.
