Treat trading cryptocurrencies as a job, clocking in and out every day. In the early years of trading cryptocurrencies, I, like many others, stayed up late every night watching the market, chasing gains and cutting losses, losing sleep over my losses. Later, I gritted my teeth and stuck to a simple method, and surprisingly, I survived and gradually began to stabilize my profits. Looking back now, this method, although simple, is effective: "If the signals I am familiar with do not appear, I will not act decisively!" I would rather miss an opportunity than place random orders. Thanks to this ironclad rule, I can now maintain an annual return rate of over 70%, and I no longer have to rely on luck to survive. Here are a few tips for beginners, all based on my own experiences of losses in real trading:

⸻

1. Cash out profits immediately Don't always think about doubling your money! For example, if you've made a profit of 1000U today, I suggest you withdraw 300U to your bank card immediately and continue to trade with the rest. I've seen too many people who think "I made three times, so I want five times" and ended up losing everything in a single pullback.

2. Look at indicators, not feelings Don't trade based on feelings; that's just blind guessing. Install TradingView on your phone and check these indicators before placing a trade:

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

• RSI: Is there overbought or oversold?

• Bollinger Bands: Is there a squeeze or a breakout?

Consider entering the market only if at least two of the three indicators give consistent signals.

3. Stop-loss must be flexible When you have time to watch the market, if you’re in profit, manually adjust your stop-loss price upwards. For example, if your buying price is 1000 and it rises to 1100, raise your stop-loss to 1050 to secure your profits. However, if you're going out and can't monitor the market, make sure to set a hard stop-loss of 3% to prevent sudden market crashes from wiping you out.

4. Must withdraw profits weekly Any profits that are not withdrawn are just a numbers game! Every Friday without fail, I transfer 30% of my profits to my bank card and let the rest continue to roll over. Over the long term, this way, my account will continue to grow.

5. There are tricks to reading candlesticks • For short-term trading, look at the 1-hour chart: If there are two consecutive bullish candles, consider going long. • If the market is moving sideways, switch to the 4-hour chart to find support lines: Consider entering the market when prices approach the support level.

One last piece of advice for you: Trading cryptocurrencies is not gambling. Treat it like a job, clock in and out every day, turn off the computer at the end of the day, eat when it’s time to eat, and sleep when it’s time to sleep. You will find that your profits will actually become more stable.
