Treat trading cryptocurrencies as a job, and you can really make money.

In the first few years of entering the market, I was like most people: staying up late watching the market, chasing rises and falls, facing liquidation, insomnia, and anxiety, I've experienced it all.

Later, I changed my approach and focused on one thing: treating cryptocurrency trading as a job, clocking in and out on time, and executing plans.

The following points are my real trading experiences from losses, which beginners should definitely take note of:

1. Place orders after 9 PM

There are many news events and erratic fluctuations during the day, making the market behave chaotically.

I basically only trade after 9 PM now, as by that time the news has been digested, the candlestick charts are cleaner, and the direction is clearer.

2. Secure profits immediately

Don’t be greedy. If you make 1000 USDT, withdraw 300 USDT first, and play with the rest.

I have seen too many people who “made three times but want five times,” and in the end, a single correction brings them back to square one, with nothing left.

3. Look at indicators, don’t rely on feelings

Don’t enter based on “feelings,” that’s the fastest way to get liquidated.

Download TradingView on your phone and check these three indicators before placing orders:

MACD: Is there a golden cross or death cross?

RSI: Is it overbought or oversold?

Bollinger Bands: Is there a squeeze or breakout?

At least two of these three should provide a consistent direction before considering entry.

4. Adjust stop-loss with upward price movement

When you have time to monitor the market, if the price increases, move the stop-loss up. 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, make sure to set a hard stop-loss of 3% to protect against sudden market crashes.

5. Withdraw profits with a plan

The numbers in your account are not real money; only what is withdrawn to your bank card counts as real money.

Withdraw 30%-50% of each profit; don’t keep everything with the fantasy of multiplying it tenfold.

6. Reading candlestick charts requires skill, not random clicks

For short-term trading, look at the 1-hour chart; two consecutive bullish candles indicate potential long opportunities.

If the market is consolidating, look at the 4-hour chart for support levels, and consider entering when the price approaches support.

7. Avoid these pitfalls at all costs!

Don’t use high leverage with heavy positions; one wrong move can wipe you out.

Don’t touch cryptocurrencies you don’t understand, as they can easily lead to losses.

Limit yourself to a maximum of 3 trades a day; doing more can lead to emotional loss of control.

Never borrow money to trade cryptocurrencies! No! No!

Trading cryptocurrencies is not about impulsively becoming rich, but about consistently following a strategy over the long term.

Treat it like a job: log in on time every day, operate according to your plan, log off at the end of the day, and rest when needed.

You will find that you earn money more steadily.
