Many people lose money trading cryptocurrencies, not because they are not smart enough, but because they treat trading as gambling rather than a legitimate career.

During the day, they are busy with work, staying up late at night watching the charts; chasing rallies and selling the dips, holding on stubbornly without taking profits, making small gains but not exiting, suffering small losses but not cutting losses. In the end, they don’t make money, and they burn out first.

When I first entered the circle, I was the same—watching the charts day and night, checking my holdings first thing in the morning, losing on every position.
Only later did I understand: truly consistently profitable traders treat trading as “going to work.”

I only trade after 9 PM; during the day, news is noisy, the market is volatile, and the direction is chaotic.
In the evening, after digesting the news, the trend becomes clear, the K-line charts are orderly, and the next day I can easily take profits and exit.

My trading rule:
For every $1,000 profit, withdraw $300 first.
The account balance is not money; withdrawing it into your pocket makes it truly yours.
I only look at three main indicators: MACD, RSI, and Bollinger Bands.
Only trade when at least two indicators align in the same direction; if there are no signals, I stay in cash and observe.
When profitable, move the stop-loss up; when losing, strictly cut losses at 3%.
At most two trades per day, never force open a third position.

Once trading is mixed with anxiety, it’s no longer trading, but pure gambling. $BTC $ETH
