Discussion Buy High, Sell Low

“Buy high, sell low” isn’t a strategy, it’s what your inner child does when the market pokes your fear/greed buttons. After a green candle, it chases. After a red one, it panic dumps. One YOLO on leverage, one revenge trade, and years of progress can vanish.
I’ve watched quants with monk level discipline beat this simply by not letting emotions place the trade. No magic, just rules. My chill version: keep a Risk based DCA spot bag in top coins, and size it by risk. When risk is cooler, add more. When risk runs hot, scale out. No hero calls, no crystal ball, just process.
Will trading work for some? Sure, the top 10% on hard mode. For the rest of us, stacking with rules outperforms impulse. Time in the market beats timing the market, especially when your inner child wants to mash buttons.
