In the first few years of trading cryptocurrencies, I was like many others—staying up all night watching the market, chasing highs and lows, losing sleep over losses. Later, I gritted my teeth and stuck to one simple method, and surprisingly, I survived and slowly began to stabilize my profits.

Looking back now, this method, though simple, is effective: 'If the familiar signals do not appear, I will not act!'

Better to miss an opportunity than to place random orders.

With this ironclad rule, I can now stabilize my annual returns at over 50% and finally don't have to rely on luck to survive.

Here are a few safety tips for beginners, based on my real trading losses:

1. Trade only after 9 PM.

During the day, news is too chaotic, with all kinds of false positives and negatives flying around; the market jumps around like it's having a fit, making it easy to get tricked into entering.

I usually wait until after 9 PM to operate, when the news is basically stable, and the K-line is cleaner and direction clearer.

2. Once you have profits, cash out immediately.

Stop always thinking about doubling your money! For example, if you made 1000 U today, I suggest you immediately withdraw 300 U to your bank card and continue to play with the rest.

I've seen too many people who 'tripled their investment and still want five times'—only to lose it all in one pullback.

3. Look at indicators, not feelings.

Don't trade based on feelings; that's blind gambling.

Install TradingView on your phone and check these indicators before trading:

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

• RSI: Is there overbought or oversold?

• Bollinger Bands: Is there a contraction or breakout?

At least two of the three indicators must give consistent signals before considering entry.

4. Stop loss must be flexible.

When you have time to monitor the market, if you make a profit, manually move your stop loss up. For example, if your entry price is 1000 and it goes to 1100, raise the stop loss to 1050 to protect your profit.

But if you need to go out and can't monitor the market, be sure to set a hard stop loss of 3% to prevent being wiped out by sudden crashes.

5. Must cash out weekly.

Not cashing out is just a numbers game!

Every Friday without fail, I transfer 30% of my profits to my bank card and continue to roll over the rest. Over time, this thickens my account.

6. There are tricks to reading K-lines.

• For short-term trading, look at the 1-hour chart: If the price has 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 near the support level.

7. Never fall into these traps!

• Don't exceed 10x leverage; beginners should best keep it within 5x.

• Don't touch Dogecoin, shitcoins, or these altcoins; they are easy to get harvested.

• Maximum of 3 trades a day; too many can lead to losing control.

• Absolutely do not borrow money to trade cryptocurrencies!!

Here's the last piece of advice for you:

Trading cryptocurrencies is not gambling; treat it like a job. Clock in and out every day, shut down when it's time, eat when it's time, sleep when it's time, and you will find—trading actually becomes more stable.
