A few heartfelt words for novice investors: avoiding unnecessary detours can indeed save you a lot of tuition fees.



Many people rush into action as soon as they enter the market, fearing that doing nothing might cause them to miss opportunities. But in reality, the most crucial skill is not how often you pick the right assets, but knowing when to hold back your finger.

When the market shows no clear direction and prices are oscillating within a range, itching to act will only turn you into a leek (a rookie). True opportunities usually appear only after the trend becomes clear; the chaotic phase is where money is made.

There's also a common pitfall—don't get caught up in hot assets. When prices are rising, the whole market is optimistic; during declines, the fastest to run are also those same people. Capital chases trends, not emotions. Hesitating for a second could come at a high cost.

If one day the market suddenly becomes smooth—volume surges, prices rise sharply, then pull back—don't rush to jump in at this moment. Completing the entire rhythm is more valuable than grabbing at a fleeting moment.

Conversely, when a big bullish candle appears and the whole market is cheering, it's time to start shrinking positions. The excitement often fades quickly; the profits you actually secure are the real gains.

Trading doesn't have to be complicated. If you can hold key positions, try it; if you start hesitating at resistance levels, reduce your position size. Short-term success depends not on guessing the right direction but on catching the right rhythm.

And the most practical advice: never go all-in at once. Start with small probes, gradually add more, and only consider increasing your position after confirmation. The market is always there; only those who survive will have future opportunities. The market never closes, but if your account crashes, it's truly gone.

The core is not to follow the trend of chasing hot topics, wait until liquidity is sufficient before entering the market. The gas fee optimization logic applies the same way.

A one-shot all-in is playing with fire. That statement hits too close to home.

Well said, the finger is really the hardest to press. I am the kind of person who keeps getting beaten up in the oscillation range until I realize I did the opposite and wake up.

Honestly, the itch to trade is more painful than losing money. I am a living example. Seeming smart is actually just an IQ tax. Isn't it better to wait until the trend is clear before taking action? The all-in approach really should be banned. So many people have lost everything that way. Wait, wait, wait. This is actually the hardest step in trading. The most chaotic times are often signals to escape.

That was too harsh, and it's a painful lesson for me. I got slapped in the face last year for going all-in, and I'm still licking my wounds.
