Treat trading cryptocurrencies as a job, and you’ll truly make money.
At the beginning, I was the same as most people: staying up late watching charts, chasing pumps and selling at the wrong time, and going through liquidation, insomnia, and anxiety.
Later, I changed my approach and focused on just one thing: treating crypto trading like a job, executing on time, and following the plan.
Here are the lessons I summed up from hands-on trading—newcomers can save them:
Trade only after 9 PM
During the day, there’s a lot of market news and the price swings more. I basically only enter the market after 9 PM, when the market has already digested the news, the candlestick patterns are clearer, and the direction is easier to understand.
Cash out immediately when you profit
When you’ve made money, cash out right away—don’t be greedy. For example, if you make 1000U, withdraw 300U first, and keep trading with the remaining amount. Many people make 3x and still want 5x, but when the market retraces, all the profits get given back.
Look at indicators—don’t rely on feelings
Don’t place orders based on intuition; that’s the quickest way to get liquidated. Use
