Newbies just entering the cryptocurrency market should pause!

Don't rush to place orders as soon as you open the market software,

this bad habit will only lead to deeper losses.

I also fell into this trap in my early days,

watching the fluctuations on the K-line and fearing to miss out,

chasing orders only to get stuck deeper,

not understanding the meaning of 'waiting',

and not knowing what signals to wait for.

Today, I will use short-term trading as an example,

teach you how to find the right entry points and avoid detours.

The core of short-term trading focuses on three points:

First, align with market volatility,

keep a close eye on 1M, 5M, 15M period K-line charts,

and capture immediate long and short battle signals;

Second, don't be greedy with tools,

focus on 1-3 core indicators only,

for example, K-line patterns (hammer line, shooting star) combined with moving averages (EMA) and trading volume,

simplifying the analysis dimensions;

Third, enter and exit quickly,

set profit targets at 3-8 dollars,

strictly limit losses to 1-3 dollars, and never procrastinate.

The pitfall guide must be remembered:

In the 5 minutes before the announcement of macro data like non-farm payrolls and CPI,

be sure to stay out of the market,

during this time, spreads widen sharply and slippage risks increase;

Refuse to stubbornly hold,

if a single loss exceeds 2 dollars, immediately stop loss,

don't let short-term trades turn into deep positions;

Don't go against the trend,

even when doing short-term trades, refer to the 1H trend,

if EMA shows a bullish arrangement, only go long;

Control trading frequency,

don't exceed 5 trades per day,

maintain a position of 80% or more of the time.

Finally, a reminder:

The win rate for short-term trading is usually between 55%-65%,

the key to profit is a win-loss ratio of ≥1.5:1.

It is recommended to first use a demo account to refine strategies,

and only switch to a real account once profits are stable.

Short-term trading in the cryptocurrency market is like licking blood on the tip of a knife,

discipline is the only protection.
