In the crypto market, do retail investors want to survive long-term? It’s really not about luck or guessing price swings—you need your own set of strategies.

Take $BEAT for example. The reason I was able to withstand several rounds of volatility and eventually turn things around was thanks to some down-to-earth methods I developed after years of hard lessons.

**Let’s talk about position sizing first.**

When trading $FHE, I split my principal into 5 parts and only use 1/5 at a time, with a strict 10% stop loss. Others go all-in and get wiped out in one go; I’d have to be wrong 5 times in a row to lose 10%. More importantly—if I catch the right opportunity just once, those small earlier losses are covered and I still profit. This is the golden rule for retail investors to avoid liquidation.

**Second is following the trend.**

Thinking of catching the bottom when it’s dropping like crazy? That’s basically handing money to the whales. The real safe entry points are pullbacks within an uptrend. The market always rewards those who follow the trend and punishes those who stubbornly go against it.

**Don’t touch coins that have already skyrocketed.**

If something has pumped hard in a short period, the upside potential is basically drained. Jumping in at this point isn’t passing the baton—it’s catching a falling knife. Stagnation after a pump is a clear signal it’s about to drop—no exceptions.

**MACD is my go-to tool.**

Bullish crossover below the zero line—time for a steady entry.
Bearish crossover above the zero line—get out immediately, no hesitation.

Executing these rules mechanically beats relying on gut feelings.

**Never average down on losing trades.**

The more you average down, the deeper you get, and you’re not averaging costs—you’re averaging your own demise. I only add to winning trades in the direction of the trend, letting profits ride and cutting losses at the first sign.

**Can’t read complex indicators? Just watch price and volume.**

High volume breakout at low prices → could be the start of a leader.
High volume but no price movement at the top → whales are offloading.

Price and volume say more than words ever could.

**Here’s a simple framework for trend analysis:**

3-day MA for short-term swings, 30-day MA for medium-term direction, 84-day MA for the main uptrend, and a turn on the 120-day MA signals a major trend is forming. Only trade in an uptrend and your efficiency will double.

**Finally, make post-trade analysis a habit.**

Ask yourself daily: Has the trend changed? Has the logic broken down? Where is the money flowing?

Build this habit and you’ll halve your mistakes and double your account.

The crypto market isn’t about who’s smarter—it’s about who can stick to the rules. With coins like $RDNT, catching opportunities comes from discipline, not intuition.

Don’t believe in overnight riches—first, learn how to survive.
