In the early years of trading, like many others, I stayed up late watching the market, chasing highs and cutting losses, and lost sleep over it. Later, I gritted my teeth and stuck to a simple method, and surprisingly, I survived and even began to profit steadily.
Looking back now, this method may be simple but effective: 'If I don't see familiar signals, I absolutely won't act!'
Better to miss an opportunity than to make a reckless trade.


With this ironclad rule, I can now maintain an annual return of over 50%, and I no longer have to rely on luck to survive.
Here are a few life-saving tips for beginners, based on my real trading losses:
1. Trade after 9 PM
During the day, messages are too chaotic, with various false positives and negatives flying around; the market fluctuates uncontrollably and it's easy to get tricked into entering a trade.
I generally wait until after 9 PM to trade; by then, the news has stabilized, the candlestick patterns are cleaner, and the direction is clearer.
2. Lock in profits immediately
Don't always think about doubling your money! For example, if you've made 1000 U today, I suggest you immediately withdraw 300 U to your bank account and continue playing with the rest.
I've seen too many people who say 'I want to triple my investment and then quintuple it', only to lose it all in one callback.
3. Look at the indicators, not just your feelings
Don't trade based on feelings, that's just blind gambling.
Install TradingView on your phone and check these indicators before trading:
• MACD: Are there any golden crosses or death crosses
• RSI: Is it overbought or oversold
• Bollinger Bands: Are they contracting or breaking out
At least two of the three indicators must provide consistent signals before considering entry.
4. Stop loss must be flexible
If you can monitor the market, manually adjust your stop loss price upwards when your position is in profit, 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 keep an eye on the market, you must set a hard stop loss at 3% to prevent sudden crashes from wiping you out.
5. Must take profits weekly
Not withdrawing profits is just a numbers game!
I consistently transfer 30% of my profits to my bank account every Friday, and roll over the rest. Over time, this approach builds a thicker account.
6. There are tricks to reading candlesticks
• For short-term trades, look at the 1-hour chart: if there are two consecutive bullish candles, consider going long.
• If the market is sideways, switch to the 4-hour chart to find support lines: consider entering near the support level.
7. Don't fall into these traps!
• Don't exceed 10x leverage; beginners should ideally keep it below 5x
• Avoid coins like Dogecoin and Shitcoins; they can easily lead to losses
• Limit yourself to a maximum of 3 trades a day; too many can lead to losing control
• Absolutely do not borrow money to trade!

Trading is not gambling; treat it like a job. Work regular hours, turn off your device when it's time, eat and sleep at appropriate times, and you'll find—your profits will stabilize more reliably.
