I think the biggest lesson I’ve learned throughout my entire trading journey — and something I want to share more deeply with all of you — is this:
Be a good buyer. Not a good seller.
When I first started trading, like most beginners, I was obsessed with catching tops, shorting breakdowns, and trying to look smart. I wanted to predict reversals and prove I was ahead of the market.
But over time, the market humbled me.
Assets like Gold, Silver, and now this new-era asset — Bitcoin — are designed to appreciate over time. History has been repeating this pattern for centuries. Yet every cycle, people refuse to believe price can go that much higher. That disbelief is exactly what fuels massive short liquidations. History keeps proving it again and again.
Even during bear markets, shorts get trapped brutally.
Yes, the trend is your friend.
But if you don’t master the art of buying correctly, shorting will slowly bleed your account — often giving back all the profits you made from buying. I’ve seen it happen. I’ve felt it personally.
And here’s something most people won’t tell you:
Market structure isn’t something you truly learn from the internet or from fancy influencer charts. It’s an art — the art of big money. When you genuinely understand it, you stop trading emotionally and start trading with proper positioning. At that point, the market can’t easily trap you.
If your understanding of structure is weak and you’re aggressively shorting, you’re basically gambling. Even with average structure knowledge, buying will usually favor you over time.
Master the buy side first.
Trust me — it changes everything.
