I used to be that trader:
Glued to the screen, chasing every green candle, panicking with every little dip.
It was exhausting—and expensive.
Then I made one powerful change:
I started treating trading like a job.
Clock in. Clock out. Secure the bag.
Here’s the 7-rule playbook I now live by:
---
1. Trade After 9 PM – When the Noise Dies Down
Daytime trading? Pure chaos—hype, fakeouts, and whale traps.
After 9 PM, things calm down. The charts move with intention.
That’s when I trade. That’s my edge.
---
2. Take Profits Quickly – Don’t Let Greed Win
Hit $1,000?
I pull $300 out right away.
Then I let the rest ride, stress-free.
Greed destroys accounts. Discipline builds them.
---
3. Trust the Tools – Not the Emotions
Emotions are liars. Indicators tell the truth.
MACD: Golden cross = green light
RSI: Oversold? I’m in. Overbought? I cool off.
Bollinger Bands: Tight squeeze? Big move incoming.
When two indicators line up, I take action.
---
4. Stop-Loss is Non-Negotiable
If I’m watching the screen, I trail my stops.
If I’m not, I set a strict 3% stop-loss.
No exceptions. Risk management is how you stay in the game.
---
5. Friday = Payday
At week’s end, I withdraw 30% of my profits.
Crypto in the wallet is good.
But fiat in the bank? That’s real profit. That’s peace of mind.
---
6. Candlestick Patterns = Untapped Alpha
1H chart: Two strong green candles? Short-term momentum.
4H chart: Bounce off support? I’m in.
Candles don’t lie. They tell a story—I just read it.
---
7. Rookie Mistakes Stay with Rookies
Leverage? Under 5x. 10x only if it’s earned.
Meme coins? Fun, but not for me—I trade real setups.
Max 3 trades per day. More focus = more profits.
Never trade money you can’t afford to lose.
---
Clock in. Trade smart. Get paid.
This isn’t luck. It’s a system.
Treat trading like a job, and profits will treat you like a boss.
