Treat crypto trading like a job, and you can truly make money.
When I first started, just like most people, I stayed up late watching the charts, chased pumps and sold into dumps, and went through liquidation, insomnia, and anxiety.
Later, I changed my way of thinking and focused on just one thing: treat crypto trading like a job—operate on time and follow the plan.
Here are the lessons I’ve summed up from real-world trading; beginners can save these:
Trade after 9 PM
During the day, there’s more market news and the market is more volatile. I basically only enter the market after 9 PM, when the market has digested the news, the candlesticks are clearer, and the direction is more obvious.

Take profits immediately
When you make a profit, you should harvest it promptly and not be greedy. For example, if you earn 1,000 US dollars, withdraw 300 US dollars first, and continue trading with the remaining. Many people aim for three or five times their profit, but when the market pulls back, they lose all their gains.
Look at indicators, not rely on feelings
Don’t place orders based on intuition; that’s the quickest way to get margin called. Use
