Treat Crypto Trading Like a Real Job — Clock In, Trade Smart, Cash Out
When I first jumped into crypto, I was a mess—staring at charts 24/7, chasing every pump, and panicking on every dip. It drained me emotionally and financially. But everything changed when I treated trading like a 9-to-5 job.

Here’s how I made it work:

1. Trade When It’s Quiet – After 9 PM
Daytime is noisy—news drops, hype, and FOMO chaos. After 9 PM, markets slow down and patterns become clearer. That’s when I enter the game.

2. Take Profits Early
If I’m up $1,000, I instantly pull $300 out. I don’t wait around hoping for more. Small, steady wins beat big, risky losses.

3. Use Tools, Not Emotions
I never go in blind. I always check:
• MACD – A golden cross = strong signal
• RSI – Oversold? I’m interested. Overbought? I back off.
• Bollinger Bands – Tight squeeze? A breakout’s coming.
If two indicators align, I take the trade.

4. Protect Your Capital with Stop-Losses
If I’m watching the screen, I trail my stop. If not, I set a hard 3% stop-loss. That simple rule saved me countless times.

5. Withdraw Weekly — Every Friday Is Payday
I cash out 30% of my weekly gains into my bank. Profit isn’t real until it’s in your hands.

6. Read the Candles
• 1H chart = short-term action. Two solid green candles? I'm in.
• 4H chart = trend map. Bounce off support? Time to strike.

7. Dodge Rookie Mistakes
• Leverage under 5x (max 10x if you really know your stuff)
• Skip meme coins—stick with real setups
• Max 3 trades a day to stay focused
• Never use borrowed money—ever

Show up with a plan. Trade like a professional. And cash out like it’s payday—because it is.
