Being a full-time crypto trader does not mean you have to stare at the charts 24/7. On the contrary, trading less – choosing the right hours – and maintaining a stable mindset is the way to live long and healthily in this profession. Honestly, do you think looking at charts from morning until late at night will help you make more money? Completely wrong.

Crypto runs 24/7 – but it doesn't mean it's always worth trading.

Unlike forex or stocks, the crypto market doesn't sleep. But it doesn't mean that there are always good waves to trade. Many time frames have sideways prices, low volume, and widened spreads, entering orders only leads to 'hitting SL' without having a TP.

If you want to choose the right time to trade, then don't trade in the morning (Vietnam time), especially from 6 AM – 12 PM. This is a time of weak liquidity, often sideways or false breakouts. Don't waste your energy.

From 2 PM – 5 PM, the market starts to have momentum as Europe opens. Some altcoins begin to move according to the risk-on/off sentiment. But the highest peak is from 7 PM – 11 PM, when the US session matches orders. This is the time frame with the largest volume, especially when macroeconomic news like CPI, FED, Non-farm is released – causing Bitcoin, ETH, and even altcoins to fluctuate strongly.

Which trading style should choose which hours?

If you trade larger time frames like H4, D1, then you only need to trade 1 – 2 times a day, preferably analyze in the morning, and wait until the US session to enter orders. No need to watch every candle.

If you are a scalper or day trader, using M15 – H1 time frames, you should only operate mainly from 2 PM to 11 PM. Outside of those hours, take a break. Don’t force trades in a non-volatile environment.

Trade less – live longer

Newcomers often think that the longer they sit in front of the screen, the more control they have over the market. The truth is, the more time spent sitting, the more random orders are placed, the more FOMO one experiences, the more stress, and the easier it is to burn out. A professional trader is someone who chooses the right time when the market is 'boiling', clearly observes price behavior, and trades at the right moment – then takes a break.

Conclusion

Full-time crypto trading is not about working full-time, but understanding when to fight – when to let go. Choose the right session, the right timing, and the right mindset. The rest… close the chart, do other work, and keep your mind clear for the next battle.
