This is for all the newbies still struggling in the crypto world, it's not about calling trades, it's a survival manual.
Because I understand that in the crypto world, only those who survive have the qualifications to talk about making money.
By sticking to this principle, my annual return rate can now stabilize above 50%, without relying on all-in bets or gambling on market conditions, just by recognizing trends and strictly following discipline.
This article is dedicated to all the newbies still struggling in the crypto world, it's not about calling trades, it's a survival manual.
1. Only trade after 9 PM.
Stop being busy during the day.
During the day, news is chaotic, bears and bulls charge at each other, and price fluctuations are like cramps.
Truly clean and clear trends often appear after 9 PM.
Especially during the time when the European and American markets overlap, once the direction is clear, it usually moves more smoothly.
2. When you make money, the first thing to do: secure your profits.
The biggest problem in the crypto world is not that you can't make money, but that you make money and don't take it out.
Every time my account increases by 1000 U, I immediately withdraw 300 U to my bank account and let the rest continue to roll. Why?
Because the money you withdraw is real, the numbers in the account are just numbers.
Too many people want to double their 10,000 U, but then a wave of retracement comes, and they can't even protect their principal.
3. Look at the K-line, not at your feelings.
Trading cryptocurrencies is most taboo when relying on 'feelings'; that's a death sentence.
My suggestion: install TradingView on your phone to monitor MACD, RSI, and Bollinger Bands.
At least two signals must align before opening a position.
Don't look at short cycles like five-minute charts; for short trades, look at one-hour charts, and for trends, look at four-hour charts.
For example, if I go long on ETH, I will only follow if it stays strong above the middle line for two consecutive hours.
If the market is consolidating, check if there are support points on the four-hour chart, and enter when it approaches the support.
4. Stop-loss must be flexible.
Many people set mechanical stop-loss orders, and when the market is washed out by manipulators, they get taken out.
I’ll share two practices:
When you have time to monitor the market, dynamically raise your stop-loss (for example, if you open at 1000 and it rises to 1100, raise your stop-loss to 1050).
When you go out and don't have time to watch the market, set a hard stop-loss at 3% to prevent the market from crashing.
Stop-loss is not a shame, but a pass to survive.
5. You must withdraw profits at least once a week.
This is the habit I developed the earliest.
Every Friday, without fail, withdraw 30% of the profits.
No matter how much you earn or lose, first withdraw to your bank account before discussing the next position rolling. If you stick to this for three months, you'll find yourself finally breaking free from the cycle of repeatedly losing everything.
6. Remember these taboos.
Don't leverage over 10 times, beginners should ideally keep it within 3 to 5 times.
In contracts, you can have a maximum of 3 trades a day; going long can easily lead to overtrading.
Stay away from Dogecoin, shitcoins, and meme coins; they are all high volatility + low value games played by manipulators.
Never borrow money to trade cryptocurrencies, even if you think you will definitely win this time.
And the most important point:
Trading cryptocurrencies is not gambling with your life, it's a profession.
You need to have the rhythm of a working person: check the market at the right time, shut down at the right time, take the profits when you earn, and stop when you lose.
Don't stay up late, don't chase prices, and don't fantasize about free money falling from the sky.
If you really do this for three months, you'll find that stable profits are more important than getting rich quickly.
It's not that you can't make money, you just haven't learned how to hold onto your profits.
Remember this logic, and the next Cullinan may just be parked downstairs at your home.
