Amid whipsaw trading action on the cryptocurrency and financial markets, veteran trader <a href="https://u.today/veteran-trader-peter-brandt-weighs-in-on-bitcoins-dominance-over-gold" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Peter Brandt</a> has emerged with a nugget of wisdom for those looking to navigate the current volatility.
Brandt, known for his deep insights and decades of experience trading, states a fundamental fact: making money in trading is relatively easy; the real challenge lies in keeping it.
Brandt's insight stems from years of experience in various financial markets, including the cryptocurrency market. He highlighted that the key to long-term success in trading is not merely about generating profits but about preserving those gains. According to <a href="https://x.com/PeterLBrandt/status/1801064642287939755" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Brandt</a>, the realization of this principle marked an important point of maturity in his trading career.
<blockquote>
 It is easy to make money by trading.Keeping it is the challenge.An important point of maturity as a trader for me came when I recognized that frequent drawdowns forced me to make the same $$$s repeatedly.Capital preservation following profitable periods is crucial. <a href="https://t.co/vGR0SefLSb" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">pic.twitter.com/vGR0SefLSb</a>— Peter Brandt (@PeterLBrandt) <a href="https://twitter.com/PeterLBrandt/status/1801064642287939755?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">June 13, 2024</a>
</blockquote>
The veteran trader pointed out that frequent drawdowns — periods when various assets experience significant declines in value — forced him to make the same profits repeatedly. This repetitive cycle of gaining and losing underscored the significance of capital preservation. For many traders, especially those new to the crypto market, these drawdowns can discourage and lead to a sense of chasing losses.
However, the ability to manage these periods without letting them erase hard-earned profits is what separates successful traders from the rest. Brandt’s tip serves as a reminder that trading is not just about the thrill of making profits but also about the discipline required to protect it.
Brandt elucidates that after a profitable period, the priority should shift from aggressive trading to safeguarding the accumulated capital. This strategy is not about shying away from risk but managing it with increased caution.
<a href="https://u.today/bitcoin-btc-all-time-high-incoming-derivative-traders-place-bold-bet" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Bitcoin</a> briefly rose above $70,000 in Wednesday's trading session after the Federal Reserve left interest rates unchanged and signaled that only one cut is expected before the end of the year.
On Wednesday, the Fed maintained rates constant at 5.25%-5.50% and said it would decrease rates only once, later this year, down from three rate reductions projected in March.
At the time of writing, Bitcoin was almost erasing its gains and was just up 1.75% in the last 24 hours to $67,928.
