Have a reason before entering each trade: Start a trade only when you know why youre starting and have a clear strategy for afterwards.
Not all traders make gains from trading, since this is a zero-sum game (for everyone who benefits someone else loses on the other side).The Altcoins market is driven by large whales (yes, the same ones responsible for placing huge blocks of hundreds of Bitcoins on the order book). The whales are just waiting patiently for innocent little fish like us to make mistakes. Even if you aspire to trade on a daily basis, sometimes it is better not to earn and do nothing, instead of jumping into the rushing water and exposing your coins to losses. From my experience, there are days where you only keep your profits by not trading at all.
Yes its true that big whales wait eagerly for newbies to enter the market to make them panic and sell their holdings.Actually newbies are the one who help big whales to survive in this market for a long time by giving their share to them at a much lower price.Its an ongoing process as newbies would be entering day by day.Newbies should not blindly follow the media and also the social media as they would have been filled with lots of FUD.
