Please is long I'm trying to learn about crypto generally but I don't seem to understand most things as if am left out. I leant that even the crypto market is going against you can still make gain out of the situation because to me am only experiencing lost and depression. Please what do I do whenever the market is experiencing deepening? Is there a to reverse your trade or investment at that point that will make you gain instead of lost?

I feel you. That lost, confused feeling when markets tank and nothing makes sense - we’ve all been there. But most won’t admit it.

The idea that you can always make money, even when crypto drops, is technically true. People trade against the trend, open short positions, play futures, options, all that jazz. But here’s what no one tells you: doing that successfully takes years of understanding how markets actually function. It’s not just charts and vibes. It’s knowing how macroeconomics, global news, central bank policy, and institutional flows all interact. Most people don’t even know what an economic calendar is, let alone how to front-run a rate decision or interpret labor data.

Without that foundation, trying to reverse your losses by trading aggressively is like jumping into a storm with a paper boat. And in crypto - with 50x leverage flashing in your face - that storm gets lethal real fast.

Truth is, trading isn’t for everyone. And that’s okay. You don’t need to become a trader to survive or even thrive in this space. But if you do want to walk that path, start with humility. Accept that it’s going to take time, pain, and a lot of learning before you stop losing.

When markets drop, the smartest move might be to do nothing. Step back. Reflect. Study. Ask why things are dropping - not just the price, but the narrative, the momentum, the macro context. That’s where the real edge begins.

You're not too late. But you do need to slow down before you burn out.

I'm going to take advantage of this very comment because you make things more easier for me concerning crypto trading and investment, especially when you talk about knowing the economic calendar to know when to trade against the trend. Thank you
