Look, my trading strategies and approaches are built for people who already have a solid grasp of the fundamentals. That's just how it works.
Let me be straight with you: if you haven't bothered to learn the basics of trading yet, opening a real account and putting actual money down is frankly a bad idea. Full stop.
Why? Because the market doesn't care about your intentions. It'll take your money without blinking.
So here's what needs to happen first—you need to study. Actually study. Not just watch a few YouTube videos or skim through some posts. I'm talking about genuine learning: understanding how markets move, what moves them, how to read price action, what risk management actually means beyond just knowing the term.
You need to paper trade. You need to practice without real skin in the game. Build your intuition. Test your thinking. Fail in a sandbox environment where failure costs you nothing but time.
Then, only then, when you've put in the work and you actually understand what you're doing, you can think about risking real capital. The crypto market rewards preparation and punishes the lazy.

It's the same old spiel, hearing it so many times my ears are getting calloused.
Here comes another one advising us to paper trade, as if they are the trading god themselves.
Honestly, it's probably just because they're afraid we'll lose money and come after them.
I've heard these theories a thousand times, but I've never seen anyone actually make money.
There's some truth to that, but it sounds so annoying.

To be honest, jumping in with real money without doing your homework is a suicidal trade.
It sounds like a cliché, but that's the reality. Talking about theory is meaningless; you need to truly understand how the market moves.

Well, that's true, but very few people can truly stick to paper trading; most only realize their losses after failing.

Not willing to invest money without a solid foundation? Then get ready to be harvested by the market. This isn't just my opinion; it's an ironclad rule.

Damn, this is reality. If you don't learn the basics and just throw money in, it's no wonder you get liquidated.
