Treat Crypto Trading Like a Job: Clock In, Clock Out, Get Paid with Purpose ❗

When I first stepped into trading, I was all over the place—chasing green candles, panic-selling reds, glued to charts 24/7, and losing money just as fast as I made it. It was chaos. But once I stopped treating it like a gamble and started treating it like a job, the game changed.

Here’s the structured routine that brought clarity, consistency, and growth:

1. Trade After 9 PM

The market calms down at night. Less noise, cleaner setups. I wait for 9 PM—when fakeouts fade and real moves show up.

2. Secure Profits Early

Chasing moonshots? Not me. If I hit $1,000 in a session, I pull out $300 immediately. Small wins stack into big results.

3. Let Tools Guide You

Before I enter, I check:

• MACD for momentum shifts

• RSI for entry/exit zones

• Bollinger Bands for squeezes and breakouts

I don’t trade unless at least two indicators align.

4. Use a Smarter Stop-Loss

If I’m watching the charts, I trail my stop with the move. If I’m not? A hard 3% stop protects my capital.

5. Withdraw Every Friday

Each week, I transfer 30% of my profits to the bank. Gains aren’t real until they leave the exchange.

6. Read Candle Patterns Like a Map

• Scalping? I watch the 1-hour chart—two strong green candles near support = green light.

• Swing trading? I zoom out to 4-hour setups and wait for confirmation near key zones.

7. Avoid Rookie Blunders

• Keep leverage under 5x (10x max if experienced)

• Skip the meme hype—no $DOGE, no $SHIB

• Stick to 3 quality trades per day max

• Never trade with money you can’t afford to lose

Bottom line: Show up like a professional, follow your process, and treat your trades like your paycheck. That’s how you stay in the game—and win.
