Want to step into the trading world? Hear an old saying first—never be too greedy. A single fatal mistake can wipe out years of hard work. Looking at it from another angle, making mistakes is simply unavoidable; it's an iron law.
So what does "doing things right" mean? Two simple points: if you know it's a trap, never jump; if you realize you've stepped into the wrong place, turn around immediately. It's that straightforward.
Looking back at the market over the past few decades. Those self-proclaimed "smart people" often end up with mediocre results. Why? Because they use their cleverness in the wrong places. Those who truly make money never rely on clever tricks; they stick to the rules, admit mistakes quickly, and avoid repeatedly stepping into the same trap.
So either don't play, or if you do, remember: conservatism beats aggression, survival beats getting rich overnight. The market will always be there, and opportunities won't run away. But the premise is—you're still in the game.

It's really true, just surviving and getting out is already a win; that greed will wipe everything out in an instant.

You're absolutely right; greed is the moment when everything starts to go wrong.

Countdown to bankruptcy, this account name is really clever, haha... By the way, what this article is really about can be summed up in two words: survive. Survive, and there's still a chance; die, and it's truly gone.

nah this "stay alive in the game" thing is just survivorship bias wrapped in wisdom language, tbh. the real alpha comes from knowing when to break the rules, not following them like some retail pleb. but yeah, i guess for 99% of traders this applies lol

You're absolutely right. The biggest risk in playing with coins is greed; going all-in in one shot can wipe you out.
It's not just about this wave of the market; you need to stay alive to keep making money.
Following the rules is truly the highest form of wisdom.
This wave of the US trade deficit might still have some opportunities, but I'll wait and see for now.
Greedy people tend to die the fastest in the market.

That's right, this trade deficit is a real eye-opener. Just look at how those all-in brothers are feeling now.
