I’ve been trading memecoins since 2020. These are the lessons that would’ve helped me make substantially more money and avoid years of painful mistakes if I learned them earlier: • You do NOT need to buy every coin at a $5K market cap to make money. There are many different ways to win in this market. • Some people are great at spotting narratives extremely early and buying at $5K–$20K market caps before anyone is paying attention. • Some are better at buying stronger, more established coins at $500K, $1M, $10M, or even $50M market caps and riding momentum. • Some traders are great at buying dips after a massive selloff, identifying when something is oversold, and making money on the reversal. • Others are better at waiting for a coin to prove itself first, then entering when the setup becomes much clearer. The biggest thing I learned is that being good at finding coins is only half the battle. You also have to learn how to sell. • Know when to take profit. • Know when a trade is invalidated and cut it. • Stop letting huge unrealized gains turn back into nothing because you kept waiting for more. • If you’re up a lot, decide to hold for more, and the trade starts going against you, learn how to exit. Let go of the emotion around what you “could have made.” That money was never yours until you sold. • Greed and attachment to the peak are what turn massive potential gains into breakeven trades or even losses. • Before entering a trade, identify your stop loss and your profit target. • Know where you’re wrong before you buy. • Know where you plan on taking money off the table before emotions get involved. • Once you have a plan, have the discipline to actually stick to it instead of constantly moving the goalposts. Learning how not to roundtrip your winners is just as important as learning how to find them. You don’t need to master every style of trading. Find the strategy that fits you, master your entries and exits, manage your risk, and stick to it consistently.
