During a bull run or bear market; it is easy for newbies to make more money. In fact newbies make more money during the bull run than long term trader, the core problem is that newbies tend to lose those profits back to the market when the bear struck and the long term traders keep making their profits all year round.
You have to understand in reality that you cannot be consistently profitable except you are disciplined and glue to your rules.
The truth is, you know the right thing to do as regards crypto currency; just do it.
Seems you are talking about Beginner's luck?
Or else there is no reason for the newbies to make more money than an experienced trader/investor. Long-term traders are not the ones who keep making profits all the year but they will keep their loss as low as possible so their net profits will be worth their effort.
