Treat Crypto Trading Like a 9-to-5: Clock In, Cash Out, Win Daily
When I first started, I was like most beginners—glued to charts, chasing pumps, stressing over dips. It was emotional, draining, and costly.
Then everything changed.
I started treating trading like a job. Clock in. Clock out. Get paid. Here's my system:
1. Trade After 9 PM — When the Market Calms
Daytime is noisy—news, fake pumps, panic buyers. After 9 PM? Quieter, clearer, more predictable. That’s when I trade.
2. Take Quick Profits — Don’t Get Greedy
Made $1,000? Take $300 off the table immediately. Let the rest ride. Greed kills gains. Consistency builds wealth.
3. Use Indicators, Not Emotions
Before every trade, I check:
MACD: Golden cross = go.
RSI: Oversold? Time to buy. Overbought? Sit tight.
Bollinger Bands: Tight bands mean a big move’s brewing.
If two out of three indicators say “yes,” I act.
4. Always Use a Stop-Loss
Watching the charts? Trail your stop as you profit. Away from screens? Set a 3% stop-loss. It’s simple protection that saves accounts.
5. Get Paid Weekly
Every Friday, I pull 30% of my profits and move it to my bank. Profits aren’t real until they’re in your pocket.
6. Read the Candles
1-hour chart: For quick plays. Two solid green candles? I’m in.
4-hour chart: For trend analysis. Bounce near support? Let’s go.
7. Avoid Rookie Mistakes
Keep leverage under 5x (10x max if experienced).
Skip meme coins—no SHIB, no DOGE.
Max 3 trades per day to stay focused.
Never trade money you can’t afford to lose.
Clock in. Trade smart. Cash out.
This isn’t gambling—it’s your shift. Treat it like a job, and the paycheck will follow.
