People often ask me whether trading can be a lifelong career. My answer is simple—whether you can keep going depends not on the market’s mood, but entirely on your own skills.

Many newcomers think the market is dangerous, but in fact, what the market fears most are traders who lack confidence. Here, confidence doesn’t mean understanding technical patterns, but rather how much risk-resistant capital you have in your account.

Can't handle drawdowns? Market fluctuations can easily break your psychological defenses. Invest all your assets in one go? A single mistake could cause your entire life to collapse. Those who truly succeed in this path are never the ones dreaming of overnight riches, but those who can afford to lose.

Don’t think that having a small starting capital means you have no chance. There are many examples of small accounts with just a few thousand USD growing to hundreds of thousands through compound strategies. Conversely, large accounts of hundreds of thousands can be wiped out in just three days. What’s the difference? It all comes down to one word: "stability."

Trading ultimately isn’t about luck; it’s about control—controlling your position size, your risk, and your emotions. Before entering or exiting each trade, you must have a clear expectation of potential loss and profit.

My approach is straightforward: no matter how large the account, never risk more than 2% of the total funds on a single trade. What does this mean? It’s impossible to lose everything in one day. Even in extreme market conditions, I can still rest because every loss is within my risk plan.

The market has no bull market that only rises and no bear market that only falls. But there is always a type of trader who survives—they understand they shouldn’t push themselves to the brink. Remember: trading isn’t about risking everything; it’s about risking survival. The longer you live, the more confidence you have to talk about profits.

If you want to establish yourself in the crypto space, the first step isn’t dreaming of getting rich overnight, but learning how not to be swept out of the market in a single night. Master the correct methodology and risk philosophy, and your journey to wealth can truly begin.
