💼 Treat Crypto Trading Like a Job: Clock In. Trade Smart. Cash Out.
When I first jumped into crypto, I was just like every new trader — glued to the charts 24/7, chasing green candles, panic-selling every dip, and running on no sleep. Total chaos.
Then I built a system. I followed it. And everything changed.
🧠 My 7 Rules for Trading Like a Pro
1. Trade After 9 PM
Mornings are noisy news, fakeouts, emotional volatility. I wait until after 9 PM when markets are calmer and the signals are clearer. Quiet hours = clearer decisions.
2. Take Profits Early
Forget moonshots every time. If I make $1,000 in a session, I withdraw $300 straight to my bank. I trade the rest. Greed is the enemy. Discipline protects your capital.
3. Indicators Over Emotions
Before every trade, I check:
MACD: Golden/death crosses.
RSI: Overbought/oversold.
Bollinger Bands: Squeeze = setup, breakout = go.
I need at least two indicators in agreement. No guessing.
4. Be Strategic With Stop-Losses
Watching live? Trail your stop as the trade goes green.
Away from the screen? Use a strict 3% stop-loss to stay safe.
5. Withdraw Weekly
Every Friday, I pull 30% of my weekly profits into my bank. It’s not real until it hits your account. Let the rest grow.
6. Master the Charts
Use 1-hour charts for quick trades — two bullish candles? Enter.
Use 4-hour charts to spot trend reversals near support.
7. Avoid Rookie Mistakes
🚫 Overleveraging (stay under 5x unless you really know what you’re doing)
🚫 Meme coins (no Doge, no SHIB)
🚫 Overtrading (3 trades/day max)
🚫 Borrowed money (just don’t)
📊 Clock in. Follow the system. Clock out. Get paid.
That’s how pros stay consistent — and stay in the game long-term.
