Hey everyone,

As I've shared in my previous articles, I've been a Bitcoin investor since 2013 a crypto trader since 2018 and CEO of a Crypto project since 2023. What I've learned is that your emotions are your biggest adversary in the finance market. Here's how to adopt a "robot mindset" for better trading outcomes:

Why You Should Start Learning to Trade

Trading isn't just about chasing boring numbers; it's a journey with some pretty cool destinations:

• Financial Freedom: Trading can be your ticket out of the 9-5 grind. It's about earning on your terms, potentially escaping the rat race for a life where you call the shots financially.

• Market Movements: Get in on the action of global economics with crypto. You're not just watching; you're playing the game, engaging with blockchain, and shaping the future of finance.

• Personal Growth: Trading is like a mental gym. It teaches discipline, sharpens your analytical skills, and boosts your emotional intelligence. It's about growing as a person, not just growing your wallet.

So, why learn trading? It's about control, participation, and self-improvement. It's not just about making money; it's about crafting a life where you thrive both financially and personally.

Why Emotions Are Your Enemy

In this market, emotions like greed and fear can cloud judgment and lead to impulsive decisions. Big players know this; they orchestrate market moves to capitalize on these emotions, making you sell when prices dip only to buy back at a lower price or inflating prices to trigger a sell-off before a crash. To thrive, you need to become emotionally detached.

Crafting Your Strategy

1. No Demo Accounts: Using a demo account won't teach you to manage real emotions because there's no actual risk involved. Start with small, real investments where the emotional stakes are low but present. This is the only way to truly learn how your emotions react under pressure. Begin with small amounts you're comfortable losing, and gradually increase as you gain control over your reactions. Never trade with more then 5% of your investment portfolio!

2. Ignore the Hype: The crypto space is flooded with influencers who thrive on hype and fear. If these gurus truly understood the market, they'd be trading, not content-creating and shouting like monkeys. Avoid the noise; don't let sensationalist headlines or overhyped YouTube videos sway your strategy. Seek out factual, data-driven insights and ignore the emotional bait.

3. Develop Specific Strategies: You must have a playbook for all scenarios. A strategy for bull markets where you might be tempted by greed, another for bear markets where fear reigns, and crucially, an exit strategy. I can not do that for you! This isn't a one-size-fits-all; your personal financial situation, risk tolerance, and goals should dictate these plans.

4. Follow Your Strategy Religiously: I mean this literally - write your strategy down, print it, and stick it where you can't miss it. Maybe next to your work space. When life throws you curveballs - be it personal drama or financial emergencies - your strategy should be your north star. It's not just about following it when things are calm; it's about sticking to it when every fiber of your being wants to do otherwise.

5. Invest Wisely: Only use money you can afford to lose. If you're investing your rent or grocery money, you're inviting fear and panic into your trading decisions. Also, set aside an emergency fund for life's unexpected costs like car repairs - this reduces the pressure to liquidate at a bad time.

6. Avoid Chart Obsession: At the beginning of my journey I kept my phone next to my bed to watch the charts. It's a recipe for sleepless nights and rash decisions. I was fearful and tired. Decide on specific times to check your investments, and stick to them. Too much screen time leads to emotional exhaustion and poor judgment.

7. Limit Leverage: High leverage can lead to high anxiety. You might see potential for quick gains, but it's a double-edged sword. Keep leverage low, set a stoploss, or set up a big cross margin to maintain a calm, strategic mindset rather than reacting out of fear of losing borrowed funds.

8. Plan for Disaster: Life is full of surprises, and so are markets. Have an exit strategy for catastrophic scenarios like a stock market crash, global health crisis or major geopolitical unrest. This isn't just about selling; it's about knowing when to pivot or even exit the market entirely to safeguard your capital.

9. Continuous Learning: Dive deep into crypto. Learn about blockchain technology, how to analyze markets, and even consider programming if you're so inclined. The more you know, the less you fear the unknown. Knowledge gives you the tools to react based on facts, not feelings.

10. Diversify: Don't put all your capital into one cryptocurrency or asset. By spreading your investments, you mitigate risk. If one asset tanks, others might cushion the blow, keeping your emotions in check.

11. Stay Informed, Not Influenced: Keeping up with market news is crucial, but it should inform your strategy, not dictate it. Be skeptical of every piece of news; verify and analyze before letting it influence your decisions. Remember, news often carries an emotional charge designed to provoke action.

12. Trust No One, Including Yourself: In this space, misinformation is rampant. Trust your research and your strategy over hearsay or even your own gut feeling when it's driven by emotion. Also friends will try to influence and pressure you. Big decisions should be slept on; often, a clear mind in the morning sees things differently.

Conclusion: Enjoy the Journey

Trading and investing isn't just about making money; it's about mastering yourself. By adopting a robotic, emotionless approach, you're not losing your humanity; you're enhancing your strategic capabilities. Have fun, learn continuously, and remember, every day is an opportunity to refine your approach.

So, gear up, keep those emotions in check, and let's make those strategic, robot-like moves in the crypto market. I wish you a great journey.
