The most common mistake in the crypto world is treating speed as the end goal.

An experience of a student left a deep impression on me. He started with 2000U, grew it to 45,000U in five months, sounds impressive, right? But what really impressed me was that after a year and a half, his account remained stable above 150,000U, he became increasingly "timid"—spending no more than five minutes a day watching the market, most of his energy spent researching market trends and spending time with his family.

Having been in this industry for so long, I've seen too many young people rush in with just a few thousand dollars, all thinking about getting rich overnight. And the result? Most of them disappear quietly within three months. It's not that they lack intelligence; it's that the crypto circle is notorious for defeating all doubts.

Want to avoid detours? I'll share three fundamental yet highly effective methods.

**First Trick: Positioning is a Lifeline, Not a Strategy**

The most common mistake among beginners is entering the market with full positions, and then panicking and selling at the first sign of a correction. The purpose of position sizing is not to maximize profits but to survive until the bull market.

My approach is straightforward: intraday, swing, trend, and core positions. Intraday positions chase short-term opportunities, making one trade per day without holding overnight; swing positions follow the medium-term rhythm, moving only once every ten days or so; trend positions only catch major market moves, usually in hibernation otherwise; core positions are the real game-changers, and they rarely move.

The biggest problem with small funds is impatience—thinking that missing a day of trading means missing out on billions. But data shows that truly lucrative market moves happen only a few times a year.
