To The Moon

If you've played Minecraft, you know the golden rule: never dig straight down. Sure, you might hit diamonds... but more often you’ll land in lava or a pit of mobs. Trading works the same way.

Many traders see a shiny setup and dive in headfirst without thinking. That's the equivalent of digging straight down. It feels fast, exciting, and maybe you even hit profits at first. But without a plan, those gains can vanish just as quickly.

Smart Minecraft players know survival depends on building with structure:

They dig in steps, not straight down → in trading, that's scaling into positions.

They carry torches → just like researching charts and fundamentals before entering.

They pack a bucket of water → the trader's version is a stop-loss to prevent disaster.

They create ladders → your exit plan, so you always know the way out.

The deadliest trading mistake? Treating every trade like a lucky mine shaft. Unplanned profits eventually turn into bigger losses because lava always shows up when you least expect it.

Trading is a lot like Minecraft: the game rewards patience, planning, and preparation. If you build a fortress with discipline, you'll survive long enough to see diamonds. If you dig recklessly, you'll respawn with nothing.

Trade wisely, Comrades!
