When I first entered this circle, like the vast majority of people—staying up late every day watching the charts, chasing gains and cutting losses, getting liquidated, insomnia, anxiety—I've experienced it all. But later I gradually adjusted my strategy and only stuck to one thing: treat trading as a formal job. Be at work when it's time, log off when it's time to leave, and execute all operations according to a predetermined plan.

The tuition fees paid in practical trading over the years, and the summarized experience, are best saved and reviewed repeatedly by beginners:

**On Choosing Trading Hours**
Messages during the day are too dense, and market fluctuations seem especially chaotic, with price movements resembling epileptic seizures. I now mainly start trading after 9 PM, when the news has been mostly digested, candlestick patterns are clearer, and trend judgments are easier.

**The Importance of Taking Profits in Time**
Greed is the biggest taboo after making money. If I earn 1000U, I will first withdraw 300U to secure the gains, and only continue trading with the remaining amount. I've seen too many people who think "I've made three times the profit and want five times," only to be hit back to the starting point by a wave of pullback, unable to even protect the principal.

**Let Data Speak, Don’t Rely on Intuition**
Never rely on "feelings" to enter the market—that's the fastest way to blow up your account. Install TradingView on your phone, and before placing an order, make sure to check these three indicators: whether MACD shows a golden or death cross, whether RSI is in overbought or oversold territory, and whether Bollinger Bands are contracting or have already broken out. Only consider entering when at least two indicators give a consistent signal.

**Details of Stop-Loss Management**
If you have time to monitor the market, once the price rises, move your stop-loss accordingly. For example, if you buy at 1000, and it rises to 1100, move your stop-loss to 1050 to lock in profits. If you can't watch all the time, set a hard stop-loss, controlling the ratio around 3%, to avoid losing everything in a sudden crash.

**Profit Withdrawal Plan**
The numbers shown in your account are not the real money; only when you transfer to your bank card does it count as actual profit. Each time you make a profit, withdraw 30% to 50%. Don’t think about leaving all the money to multiply tenfold.

**How to Read Candlestick Charts**
For short-term trading, focus on the 1-hour chart. As long as two consecutive bullish candles appear, consider opportunities to go long. When encountering sideways or choppy markets, switch to the 4-hour chart to find support levels, and consider entering when the price approaches these support zones.

**Avoid These Pitfalls**
Over-leveraging with heavy positions is the easiest way to blow up. A wrong direction judgment can wipe out your capital in one step. Don’t touch small coins you don’t understand—they are the easiest targets for being harvested. Limit yourself to a maximum of 3 trades per day; exceeding this makes it easier to be controlled by emotions and lose rationality. Never—absolutely never—borrow money to trade. This rule has no exceptions.

Ultimately, trading is not about impulsively chasing quick riches, but about long-term adherence to a mature strategy. Treat it as a real profession: log in on time every day, operate strictly according to the plan, log off when it’s time, and rest properly when needed. Only then can you go further in this market.
