Key Lessons
[03:01] "As long as your winners exceed your losses and you use proper risk management, you’ll be profitable."
[03:33] "Even with small accounts, take small trades and small wins. Don’t chase big profits—focus on consistency."
[08:57] "Use leverage correctly: small percentage moves with high leverage produce big returns — but only with proper risk management."
[10:17] "Crypto has predictable bull and bear cycles — study the cycles to recognize bottoms and tops."
[13:17] "Bitcoin moves the whole market — start by analyzing Bitcoin since most cryptos correlate with it."
[15:03] "Scalp short-term moves with higher leverage and take swing trades for larger trends — minutes to days is typical."
[17:49] "Crypto isn’t gambling if you stack probabilities in your favour with the right tools and data."
[24:57] "Set stop loss and take-profit targets; front-run the next resistance slightly to get triggered, then trail your stop (move to break even and then up) as price moves."
[26:13] "Detach emotionally from losses — the more you experience and accept them, the less they hurt your trading decisions."
[28:15] "Win rate matters less than risk management: you can be profitable with a 50% win rate if winners exceed losers."
[29:08] "Take profits when you have them — many traders lose gains by holding too long and then getting stopped out."
