I'm an old time trader and I've learnt a lot from my trading experience. If you can do away with greed, always use stop loss function, master your TA and also use FA to trade, avoid dumping at severe dips then you have chances of making it but with trading. It's true that when I started trading, I lost some funds following some pump channels on telegram, so I learnt the hard way never to buy coins because people are buying or because a channel made the buy call, due diligence surpasses all.
