Treat Crypto Trading Like a 9-to-5 — Clock In, Cash Out, Win Daily
Back when I started, I was like every new trader—glued to charts, chasing green candles, panicking on red ones. It was emotional, exhausting… and expensive.
Then I flipped the script.
I made trading a job. Clock in. Clock out. Get paid. Here's how:
1. Trade After 9 PM – When the Noise Stops
The daytime market is wild—fake news, random pumps, FOMO everywhere. I wait until after 9 PM. The charts calm down. The moves make sense. That’s when I strike.
2. Take Profits Fast – Don’t Be Greedy
Hit $1,000? Nice. Pull out $300 right away. Play with the rest. Greed turns winners into losers. Discipline pays the bills.
3. Trust Indicators, Not Emotions
Before any trade, I check:
MACD – Golden cross? That’s a green light.
RSI – Oversold = buy zone. Overbought = time to chill.
Bollinger Bands – Tight bands mean a big move is coming.
If at least two say “go,” I go.
4. Stop-Loss = Lifesaver
Watching the charts? Move your stop up with your gains. Away from the screen? Set a hard stop-loss at 3%. Simple protection. Huge difference.
5. Payday Every Friday
Each week, I pull out 30% of my profits. Straight to the bank. It’s not profit until it hits your pocket.
6. Candlesticks Are Clues
1-hour chart = fast moves. Two strong green candles? I’m in.
4-hour chart = trend spotting. Bounce near support? I’m ready.
7. Avoid Rookie Traps
Keep leverage under 5x (10x max if you’re skilled).
No meme coins. Sorry, Doge and SHIB.
Max 3 trades a day—stay sharp, not sloppy.
Never trade with money you don’t have. Period.
Clock in. Trade smart. Get paid.
This isn’t gambling—it’s your shift. Play it like a pro, and the profits will follow.
