Treat trading cryptocurrencies like a job, and you’ll truly be able to make money.
When I first started, I was just like most people: staying up late watching the charts, chasing breakouts and cutting losses, experiencing liquidations, insomnia, and anxiety.
Later, I changed my way of thinking and focused on just one thing: treating crypto trading as a job—operate on time and follow a plan.
Below are the lessons I’ve summed up from my real trading experience; beginners can save them:
Trade only after 9 PM.
During the day, there are many market news items and the market is more volatile. I basically only enter after 9 PM. By then, the market has digested the news, the candlesticks are clearer, and the direction is more obvious.
Cash out immediately when you make a profit.
When you earn money, you need to take profits promptly—don’t be greedy. For example, if you profit 1000U, withdraw 300U first, and keep trading with the remaining. Many people make three times and still want five times; but when the market pulls back, they end up giving back all their profits.
Use indicators—don’t rely on feelings.
Don’t place orders based on gut instinct—that’s the quickest way to get margin called.使

Take profits immediately
When you make a profit, you should cash out promptly and not be greedy. For example, if you earn 1,000 US dollars, withdraw 300 US dollars first, and continue to operate with the remaining. Many people aim for three or five times the profit, but when the market pulls back, all profits are lost.
Look at indicators, not just intuition
