I used to be that trader:

Staring at charts for hours, chasing green candles, panicking on every dip.

It was exhausting… and expensive.

Then I made one powerful shift:

I started treating trading like a job.

Clock in. Clock out. Secure the bag.

Here’s my personal 7-rule playbook:

1. Trade After 9 PM – When the Noise Fades

Daytime is full of hype, fake outs, and whale traps.

After 9 PM, the market breathes. The moves are cleaner.

That’s my golden hour.

2. Take Profits Quickly – Don’t Let Greed Win

Hit $1,000? I secure $300 instantly.

Then let the rest ride stress-free.

Greed blows up accounts. Discipline builds them.

3. Trust My Tools – Not My Emotions

Emotions lie. Indicators don’t.

MACD golden cross? Green light.

RSI oversold? Entry zone. Overbought? I wait.

Bollinger Bands squeezing? Big move loading.

When at least 2 indicators agree, I act.

4. Stop-Loss = My Survival Kit

If I’m watching, I trail my stops as price rises.

If I’m away, I set a solid 3% stop-loss.

Risk management is what keeps me in the game.

5. Every Friday is Payday

At the end of the week, I withdraw 30% of profits.

Crypto in the wallet feels good.

Fiat in the bank? That’s real peace of mind.

6. Candlesticks Speak – I Listen

1H chart: Two strong green candles = short-term action.

4H chart: Bounce from key support = time to enter.

Candles tell a story — you just have to read it.

7. Rookie Mistakes? I Leave Those Behind

Leverage? Never more than 5x. 10x only when I’m 100% sure.

Meme coins? Fun, but not for me. I trade value.

Max 3 trades a day — focus beats FOMO.

And I never trade money I can’t afford to lose.

Clock in. Trade smart. Get paid.

This isn’t gambling. It’s a mindset shift.

Treat it like a profession — and the profits will respect you.
