In the first few years after entering the crypto world, I lived like a spinning top. Staying up at 3 AM staring at the red and green K-lines, my eyes were as tired as a rabbit, and my fingers flew over the screen chasing gains and cutting losses, resulting in my account balance dropping worse than my sleep quality. Those nights spent tossing and turning while staring at the losing numbers still give me chills.

Until I made a firm decision and set an extremely simple rule for myself, I surprisingly survived in the cutthroat crypto world and slowly found a way to achieve stable profits.

Looking back now, this method may be a bit clumsy, but it’s more effective than any flashy techniques: 'If I don’t see the signals I’m familiar with, I will firmly hold back!'

It’s better to watch the market slip away than to make impulsive trades. Thanks to this ironclad rule, my annual return rate is steadily above 50%, and I no longer have to rely on luck for my meals, allowing me to sleep soundly.

Here are a few life-saving tips for brothers who just entered the industry, each one is a painful lesson I learned with real money:

1. Wait until 9 PM to make a move.

The crypto world during the day is like a vegetable market, with various true and false messages flying around. Zhang San says good news will lead to a surge, while Li Si shouts that bad news will cause a crash, making the market fluctuate like a roller coaster. If you’re not careful, you might get tricked into the market and become a victim.

I now consistently wait until after 9 PM to open my computer; at this time, the market sentiment gradually settles, the news is basically sorted out, and the K-line trends become clear and straightforward, allowing for a more secure trading mindset.

2. Take profits when you have them; securing gains is essential.

Never chase 'doubling dreams'! For example, if I made 1000U today, I immediately withdraw 300U to transfer to my bank account; the money in my pocket is real money, and I’ll leave the rest in the market to grow.

I’ve seen too many people make three times their investment while aiming for five times, only to have the profits slip away like sand through their fingers with one correction, even losing their principal. Remember: in the crypto world, only those who can take profits home are the winners.

3. Trust the indicators, not your feelings.

Trading based on intuition is just blind gambling! Make sure to have TradingView on your phone and honestly check these three indicators before placing an order.

  • MACD: Is there a golden cross or death cross signal?

  • RSI: Is there any warning in the overbought or oversold zones?

  • Bollinger Bands: Is there any movement in the squeeze breakout?

At least two of the three indicators must give consistent opinions before considering entering the market. The market never lacks opportunities; what’s lacking is rationality without impulse.

4. Stop-loss should be like a spring; tighten it when needed and loosen it when necessary.

When you have time to watch the market, manually raise your stop-loss after making a profit. For example, if you bought coins for 1000 and they rise to 1100, quickly raise the stop-loss to 1050, which is like insuring your profits.

If you have to go out and can’t watch the market, be sure to set a hard stop-loss at 3%. This is like installing a safety valve on your account; even if the market suddenly crashes, you can still preserve most of your principal.

5. You must 'draw blood' from your account every week.

Unwithdrawn money is just a digital game on the screen! Every Friday, without fail, I transfer 30% of my profits to my bank account, letting the rest continue to roll in the market. It’s like pruning a fruit tree; regular harvesting allows it to grow more abundantly, and the account balance can get thicker.

6. Learn to switch the 'magnifying glass' when looking at K-lines.

  • When trading short-term, use the 1-hour chart as a magnifying glass: if the price closes with two consecutive bullish candles, you can consider going long.

  • If the market is stagnant like dead water, switch to the 4-hour chart to find support lines: enter the market when it approaches the support level, which is like working on the edge of a safety net.

7. Avoid these traps at all costs!

  • Never exceed 10x leverage; beginners should keep it within 5x to avoid being flipped by the market with one careless move.

  • Avoid altcoins like Dogecoin or Shitcoin; they look lively, but the scythes grow faster than the chives.

  • Do a maximum of 3 trades a day; too much greed leads to chaos, and overtrading can easily cause a loss of control.

  • Absolutely do not borrow money to trade crypto! This is betting with your life, and if you lose, you might not even have the chance to recover.

One last piece of advice for you:

Trading crypto is not gambling; treat it like a 9-to-5 job: clock out at closing time, eat when it's time to eat, and sleep when it's time to sleep. When your mindset is stable and your rhythm is right, you'll find that you actually earn more steadily and lastingly.
