Many beginners think that making money in the crypto world requires being bold, quick to react, and well-informed. But those who can truly survive and profit steadily in this market are often not following this routine.

When I first started, I also went through: staying up late monitoring the market, chasing highs and killing lows, hard holding onto losing positions. Liquidations, anxiety, insomnia—one after another. It wasn't until later that I figured out a logical approach.

These methods are all based on real money and repeated losses summarized over time:

**Timing is crucial.** Operate after 9 PM; by then, news has mostly been digested, and candlestick charts are clearer. It's not about acting as early as possible, but about waiting until the market reaction is fully developed.

**Take profits promptly.** When you earn 1000U, withdraw 300U first—don't think about reinvesting everything. Continuous small withdrawals help you avoid drawdown risks.

**Use indicators, not feelings.** Use TradingView to monitor indicators like MACD; only enter when two or more indicators signal simultaneously. Relying on feelings is the fastest way to lose money.

**Implement stop-losses.** If you can't monitor the market all day, set a hard stop-loss at 3%. When triggered, it automatically exits. After profits are made, move the stop-loss line upward accordingly.

**Withdraw with a plan.** Once you have profits, plan your withdrawal ratio—take out 30%-50% to your bank card. This is the minimum respect you show to market risks.

**Pay attention to chart analysis.** Use the 1-hour chart for short-term trading; for sideways markets, switch to the 4-hour chart to find support levels.

A few pitfalls to avoid: don't over-leverage, don't use high leverage, don't play with unfamiliar altcoins, and limit yourself to a maximum of 3 trades per day.

The crypto market is not short of opportunities to make money; what’s missing are traders who can survive until the next cycle. Doubling your investment once is not hard; the challenge is not being eliminated in the cycle of bull and bear markets. Remember these three points: position size is the baseline, stop-loss is the safety net, and regular withdrawals are your responsibility to yourself.
