The Harsh Truth About Crypto: Why Do You Learn Many Techniques but Still Can't Make Money?
Doing the right thing consistently – repeating enough times – that’s the fastest way to success. Anyone who has experienced this probably knows it very well: Sitting and drawing charts until 2–3 a.m. MACD, RSI, Bollinger Bands, Fibonacci by heart. Watching dozens of analysis videos every day. But the account still… goes backward. A brother in the community messaged me: “I studied MACD for a month, waited for the golden cross to enter, but my account still got burned. I don’t understand where I went wrong…” The reality is harsh: Crypto doesn’t lack skilled technicians, but lacks people who make money. The Deadly Trap of Technical Analysis Technical analysis isn’t wrong. The mistake is: it makes you illusion that you can predict the market. When you enter a trade correctly and the price moves, you believe you’re good. When you enter wrong, you think: “Maybe I set the RSI parameters wrong.” “Maybe this timeframe isn’t suitable.” “Maybe I need another indicator.” And so you keep learning more… but your account still decreases. The truth is: The crypto market is an extremely complex game of probabilities. There’s no strategy that wins 100%. There’s no divine indicator. There’s no unbeatable formula. Anyone advertising a “perfect win rate” system is a scam. People Who Really Make Money Are Not the Best Technicians I once tried a very interesting experiment: Give 3 people who have no knowledge of technical analysis each 5,000 USDT in a demo account. No teaching of indicators. No teaching of chart reading. Just give them 3 rules: Hit stop loss and cut immediatelyNever use more than 30% of capitalWhen there’s a signal, act – no arguing After 1 month: All 3 made an average profit of 25–30%While the “technical experts” around me lost more than 20% on average. An elderly person even said: “I don’t understand candlesticks, green or red, I just follow the discipline, and I’m more profitable than many who draw charts all day.” The Truth of Crypto: Discipline > Technique In crypto, the real formula is: Profit = 5% technical + 95% psychology Technical skills can be learned in a few years. But controlling emotions is a lifelong lesson. The market is where greed and fear are killed. When the market crashes hard – do you dare to cut losses?When your account gains 50% – do you dare to take profits?When coins pump strongly – do you FOMO chase? Losers lose because of emotions. Winners win because of discipline. A Simple but Effective Trading Rhythm This is the trading rhythm I’ve used for many years, simple and straightforward: Step 1: Use 30% of capital to do exploratory trades Only choose top coins, high liquidityNo bottom fishingNo guessing topsJust enter lightly to stay in the market Goal: observe and verify the trend. Step 2: Use 40% of capital to add when the price corrects Buy more if the correction follows the planEach 10% dip adds a portionNo all-inNo emotional averaging Step 3: Use 30% of capital to increase when the trend confirms When the structure clearly uptrends: Break resistanceVolume confirmsTrend stabilizes Only take the safest part of the wave.
