When the market is unclear, the smartest move is to simply close the software and disconnect the internet.

A friend of mine, L, joined our small trading circle with only $3,000 in his account. At that time, his common problem was obvious—he would blindly place orders when he couldn't see the direction clearly, resulting in frequent pitfalls. In just over a month, he lost nearly $1,000 by forcing trades amid noisy market conditions.

Later, we summarized a methodology together. It’s not complicated; it’s about learning to 'do nothing' at critical moments. After more than a year, his account assets have grown to $278,000. Recently, he seized an opportunity in the Meme coin market, exited early to lock in $4,000 profit, and now he can sleep peacefully.

So I want to organize this approach and share it with everyone.

**Tip 1: Rest if you don’t understand**

This may sound counterintuitive, but it’s actually the most practical. When market signals are chaotic and chart indicators conflict, instead of guessing blindly, it’s better to choose to exit. Missing an opportunity isn’t fatal, but hitting a real trap could leave your account irrecoverable. L now does exactly that—if he’s unsure, he decisively walks away, which has saved him a lot of money.

**Tip 2: Hot coins are like fireworks**

The characteristic of hot coins like Meme tokens is that they come quickly and go just as fast. L’s previous mistake was buying at the high and selling at the low, cycling repeatedly. I later told him a metaphor—watch fireworks to enjoy their bloom, but don’t expect them to light up the sky forever. Similarly, hot coins have their value, but it’s important to know when to let go.

In the crypto world, knowing when to act is sometimes more important than knowing when to act.
