Everyone has the same goal, but we come from different places, face different opportunities, and vary in everything. Yet, the motive remains the same: to make money for many reasons. My reason? I can’t work a 9-to-5 and don’t want others deciding my wake-up time.
So, I entered trading. Eight years ago, I began my trading journey. I tried stocks, forex, and everything in between but realized crypto was different. It felt strange yet promising, like it could be the future of an economy—not necessarily the world economy, but a people’s economy.
As a beginner, I figured out three things:
1. There’s a chart that moves.
2. There are lots of options and settings.
3. There are countless terms and words I didn’t understand.
These became my first goals: to figure out what they meant.
At the time, I was working hard while studying. I pursued an MSc in Computer Science and Data Science, alongside Software Engineering. I was drawn to blockchain technology and its genesis block. These concepts fascinated me.
Eight years ago, charts were a nightmare. Imagine landing in a country where you don’t understand the language. It’s overwhelming, and you’re bound to make mistakes. But those mistakes teach you what not to do. That’s the first piece of knowledge you’ll gain.
Similarly, I learned trading through my mistakes. For example, if I said “TP” or “SL” today, you’d understand. But eight years ago, I had to learn what they did. I started with just $5, experimenting with liquidation, stop-losses, and take-profits. Every day, I’d lose $5. That was a lot for me back then—enough to cover one meal.
But I kept going. That was my early journey.
If you want my entire story, let me know, and I’ll write about my full 8-year crypto journey here.
For now, I’ll share my advice—short and straight to the point. These tips will never lead to losses if followed properly:
1. Understand the basics. Practically learn every aspect of futures trading.
2. A trader can’t be liquidated by the market. This is deep, but true.
3. Create your own strategy. Continuously update it with experience—you’ll learn the game.
4. Start small. Use 2% of your savings or earnings for practical learning.
5. Don’t pay to learn. Everything is available for free on the internet. No one knows more than what’s freely accessible online.
6. Use free AI tools like ChatGPT. Ask it to explain concepts like you’re a beginner.
7. Switch to hedge mode.
8. Master hedge mode with moving SL (stop-loss). This is a strategy with better risk management and accuracy.
9. Leverage free knowledge. The internet is full of resources—use them.
10. Learn technical analysis (TC), fundamental analysis, and the impact of news on crypto.
11. Don’t trade every day. A trader should wait for the right entry.
12. Avoid emotions. Fear, greed, or any strong emotion is the first sign you’ll get liquidated.
13. Learn from others’ experiences. Visualize their words practically.
14. Avoid negativity. Try to do good for others, even when you’re in loss.
15. Money is nothing compared to your health and mental well-being.
16. Take care of your family. Not just with money, but with your time and support.
17. Stay grounded. The real world needs you—don’t try to escape it.
18. Happiness doesn’t require money. It only requires realism.
19. Perspective matters. A tourist might spend thousands to visit your village and find joy in a simple rose from your garden.
20. Appreciate what you have. If you’re reading this on a phone or device, you’re already better off than 3 billion people who don’t have access—even those who fight for water or food every three days.
21. Earning is essential. Work, save, learn, invest, and trade—but do it all on your own terms.
