What Should Crypto Traders Focus on First?

Álvaro’s advice is to replace short-term profit targets with gradual learning.

He recommends spending time understanding charts, practicing individual concepts and building experience before increasing expectations.

“Focus on the process, not the results. Focus on the process. What is the process? Well, it’s mainly about time exposure. Another thing I tell them, you got to trade to learn how to trade. I mean, you got to swim to learn how to swim.”

For beginners, that means testing strategies before committing significant capital, keeping losses manageable, and reviewing why individual trades succeed or fail. Demo accounts can provide early experience without exposing real money.

Importantly, experience alone offers no guarantee of profitability. The research on day traders suggests that continued participation can simply produce further losses when traders fail to improve their methods.

Álvaro also believes trading should improve someone’s life rather than become a desperate attempt to escape financial problems.

His final message is unusually restrained for an industry frequently associated with extraordinary profit claims.

“First step, survive and learn something. Then eventually maybe you can make money.”

And even after doing everything right, he acknowledges that trading might never become a profitable career for everyone.
