Most traders don't lose money because they pick the wrong coins. They lose because they don't understand risk management.

Here's how I approach every single trade:

1. Position sizing > entries

If you're putting 20% of your portfolio on one trade, it doesn't matter how good your analysis is. One bad move and you're done. I never risk more than 1-3% on a single position.

2. Entries are about structure, not emotions

I don't buy because something is pumping. I look at market structure — key support/resistance zones, where large players are likely positioned, and the narrative driving flows.

3. Every trade needs a plan BEFORE you enter

Entry zone, invalidation level, take-profit targets, and position size based on your risk. Without all four, you're gambling.

4. Psychology is the real edge

The best setups don't matter if you can't stick to your plan. Most traders panic sell at the bottom and FOMO buy at the top. Building emotional discipline is the real alpha.
