Treat trading as a job, clock in and out at regular hours.
In the first few years of trading, I, like many others, stayed up all night watching the market, chasing highs and cutting losses, losing sleep over it. Later, I stubbornly stuck to a simple method, and surprisingly, I survived and even started to stabilize my profits.
Looking back now, this method may be clumsy, but it works: 'If the signals I’m familiar with don’t appear, I will not act!'
Better to miss an opportunity than to place random orders.
With this ironclad rule, I now consistently maintain a yield of over 50% annually, and I finally don’t have to rely on luck to survive.
Here are a few safety suggestions for beginners, all based on my real trading losses:
⸻
1. Trade only after 9 PM.
During the day, news can be chaotic with all kinds of false good and bad news flying around, making the market jump around like it's having a seizure, very easy to get tricked into trading.
I usually wait until after 9 PM to trade; by then, the news is generally stable, the candlestick charts are cleaner, and the direction is clearer.
⸻
2. Take your profit immediately when you earn q.
Don't always think about doubling! For example, if you made 1000U today, I suggest you immediately withdraw 300U to your bank card and continue to play with the rest.
I've seen too many people who, after making three times their investment, still want to make five times, only to lose everything with one pullback.
⸻
3. Look at the indicators, not your feelings.
Don't trade based on feelings; that's just blind gambling.
Install TradingView on your phone, check these indicators before trading:
• MACD: Is there a golden cross or a death cross?
• RSI: Is there overbought or oversold?
• Bollinger Bands: Is there a squeeze or breakout?
At least two out of three indicators must give a consistent signal before considering entry.
⸻
4. Stop-loss must be flexible.
When you have time to watch the market, if you earn q, manually adjust the stop-loss price upwards, for example, if the purchase price is 1000 and it rises to 1100, raise the stop-loss to 1050 to secure profits.
But if you need to go out and can’t watch the market, definitely set a hard stop-loss at 3% to prevent sudden crashes.
⸻
5. Must trade j every week
Not withdrawing q is 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 time, this way my account will keep growing.

6. There are tricks to reading candlestick charts
• For short trades, look at the 1-hour chart: If the price has two consecutive bullish candles, consider going long.
• If the market is stagnant, switch to the 4-hour chart to find support lines: Consider entering when it drops near the support level.
⸻
7. Don't step into these traps!
• Leverage should not exceed 10 times; beginners should preferably keep it within 5 times.
• Avoid Dogecoin, shitcoins, and other altcoins; they are easy to get wrecked.
• No more than 3 trades in a day; too many can lead to losing control.
• Absolutely do not borrow q to trade!

The last sentence I want to share with you:
Trading is not gambling; treat it as a job, clock in and out at set times, turn off your device when it’s time, eat when it's time, sleep when it's time, and you will find—q actually stabilizes better.
