🔥 Treating cryptocurrency trading like a job is the only way to truly make money.
$BTC When I first entered the market years ago, I was like most people—staying up late to watch charts, chasing trends, facing liquidations, anxiety, and insomnia; I experienced it all.
$SOL Later, I understood that trading cryptocurrencies is not about passion but about having a rhythm and a plan, just like a job.
$BNB Since then, I treated trading as a job: logging in on time, executing according to plan, and clocking out once I made a profit.
The following points are experiences I learned from my own trading losses, and newcomers should take note.
1. Make trades after 9 PM
During the day, there are too many messages and random fluctuations; the market is chaotic.
Now, I basically only operate after 9 PM, when the market news has mostly digested, and the candlestick charts are cleaner with clearer direction.
2. Secure profits immediately
Don’t be greedy. If you make 1000 U, withdraw 300 U first, and keep playing with the rest.
Too many people think "if I make three times, I can make five times," only to give it all back in a single correction. Securing profits is the secret to longevity in trading.
3. Rely on data, not feelings
Don’t trade based on feelings; that’s the quickest way to face liquidation.
Use TradingView and check these three before making a trade:
MACD: Is there a golden cross or a death cross?
RSI: Is it overbought or oversold?
Bollinger Bands: Are they squeezing or breaking out?
If two out of three indicators align in the same direction, then consider entering. Rely on probability, not gut feelings.
4. Adjust stop-loss as profits increase
When you can monitor the market, raise the stop-loss as the price increases.
For example, if the purchase price is 1000 and it rises to 1100, raise the stop-loss to 1050.
If you can't monitor the market, set a hard stop-loss at 3% to prevent a sudden market crash from wiping you out.
5. Plan withdrawals after making profits
Account numbers are not money; withdrawing them is true profit.
For every profit, withdraw 30%-50% to your bank account; don’t leave it all hoping to multiply it tenfold.
6. There are techniques to reading candlesticks; don’t click randomly
For short-term trading, look at the 1-hour chart: if there are two consecutive bullish candles, consider going long.
For sideways markets, look at the 4-hour chart: consider entering near support levels.
Don’t get caught up in minute-by-minute charts; that’s just noise.
Trading is not about impulsively getting rich, but about consistently accumulating through execution.
Treat it like a job, making trades with a plan each day, reviewing at set times, and closing on time.
Consistently making money is never about talent but about discipline.
When you can trade cryptocurrencies as if you were going to work, financial freedom is not far away.
