[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."
