If you want to truly make money trading cryptocurrencies, treat it as a legitimate job.
In the first few years of entering the market, I was like most people: staying up late monitoring the charts, chasing gains and selling losses, experiencing margin calls, insomnia, and anxiety all through. Later, I completely changed my mindset: treat trading as a job, go to work on time, follow a plan, and surprisingly, the more I stick to it, the more stable my profits become. Below are some of the lessons I learned from real trading losses. Beginners are advised to save this directly:
1. Only trade after 9 PM: During the day, news is chaotic, volatility is wild, and the market has no规律; after 9 PM, news digestion is complete, candlesticks are clearer, and the direction is more definite, doubling your win rate. 2. Take profits immediately: Lock in 300U when earning 1000U, then gamble with the remaining. I’ve seen too many who triple or quintuple their gains, only to be wiped out by a single retracement, losing everything. 3. Rely on indicators, not feelings: Don’t trade based on intuition! Use TradingView to monitor three indicators: MACD golden/death cross, RSI overbought/oversold, Bollinger Bands squeeze/breakout. Only act when at least two indicators agree. 4. Trailing stop-loss as profits rise: If you can monitor the market, raise your stop-loss as the price increases (e.g., buy at 1000, sell at 1100, then raise stop-loss to 1050); if you can’t monitor, set a hard 3% stop-loss to prevent sudden crashes. 5. Always withdraw profits: Your account balance isn’t real money until it’s transferred to your bank card! Take out 30%-50% of each profit, don’t keep everything hoping to multiply tenfold. 6. Candlestick analysis tips: For short-term trading, look at the 1-hour chart; two consecutive bullish candles can signal a buy; for sideways consolidation, check the 4-hour chart for support, and enter near support levels. 7. Never fall into these traps: Avoid over-leverage, don’t touch unfamiliar shitcoins, limit to 3 trades per day, and never borrow money to trade!
Trading cryptocurrencies is never about impulsive quick riches; it’s about consistently executing a stable strategy over the long term. Treat it as a job—log in on time, follow your plan, log out and rest on schedule. You’ll find that making money becomes more stable and easier.

At 9:30 PM, news updates; at 10:30 PM, US stocks. Haha, the two most volatile time periods. How could you think it's better to trade after 9? The early session is actually the best time to trade.
