Ever wonder what a full-time crypto trader’s day actually looks like? I’m not talking about Lambos or fake screenshots — I’m talking about a real routine that consistently makes me $1,000+ a day scalping on Binance.
This is the system I built after 2 years of mistakes, burnouts, and breakthroughs. You can copy it.
⸻
06:30 AM – Market Warm-Up (30 mins)
• Check overnight price action on BTC, ETH, and Top 10 altcoins
• Open 4H and 1H charts for top-volume pairs
• Scan Binance Futures for coins with:
• 10%+ 24H move
• High OI (Open Interest)
• Clear support/resistance zones
I’m looking for clean, liquid setups — not random hype coins.
⸻
07:00 AM – Watchlist & Alerts (15 mins)
I shortlist 3–5 coins for the day.
Today’s watchlist might look like:
• $SOL: Strong bounce from support
• $INJ: Approaching major resistance
• $DOGE: Volatility spike incoming
I set price alerts at breakout/retest zones using TradingView and Binance App.
⸻
08:00 AM – First Trade Window (1–2 hours)
I use 5-minute and 15-minute charts to trade breakouts or rejections. My scalping tools:
• VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price)
• EMA 21 & 50 for trend confirmation
• Order book + volume spikes
Entry example:
If $INJ breaks $26 with volume surge, I enter long.
Stop-loss: $25.40
Take-profit: $27.20
Leverage: 5x
Trade size: $4,000
Profit: $320 in 30 minutes
I take 2–3 high-probability trades, then step away. I don’t chase.
⸻
10:30 AM – Mid-Morning Cooldown (Break + Review)
I log each trade in my trading journal:
• Why I entered
• Outcome
• What I’d do differently
This habit alone helped me cut 80% of dumb trades over time.
⸻
12:00 PM – Second Trade Session (if market is hot)
I don’t force it. But if volume is still strong, I may re-enter:
• Scalping bounce from EMA support
• Trading a fakeout trap reversal
If nothing’s clean, I wait for the U.S. session.
⸻
03:00 PM – U.S. Market Prep
U.S. open = high volatility. I scan for setups like:
• BTC fakeouts
• Altcoin breakout continuations
• Sentiment shifts (based on Twitter + funding rate)
⸻
04:00–06:00 PM – Final Trades + Wrap Up
• Max 1–2 scalps during this window
• Close all positions before bed — no overnight risk
• Total trades per day: 4–6 max
• Daily P&L target: $800–$1,500
• Loss limit: Stop trading after 2 red trades
⸻
What Makes This Routine Work
• Discipline over hype
• Defined trade windows (no 24/7 grind)
• Tight risk control
• Rinse-and-repeat setups
I’m not looking for moonshots. I’m building daily cash flow from the market.
