When you treat trading as a job, the market starts to pay you. — This is my genuine insight after three years, going from losses to an annualized return of 50%+.

The transformation from gambler to professional player.

I used to be like most retail investors:

Staying up late to watch the market, afraid of missing every fluctuation.

Placing orders based on feelings, only to be harvested by the big players.

Greed is inadequate; turning profits into losses is the norm.

Only when I treated trading as a serious job and established a strict 'working system' did I really start to make continuous profits.

My 7 rules for professional traders.

The golden time is after 9 PM.

Daytime news is chaotic, with many false breakouts.

Evening markets are more stable, trends are clearer.

Profit should be taken first, then talk about compound interest.

For every 1000U earned, first withdraw 300U to the bank card.

Ensure profits do not evaporate due to pullbacks.

Only trust indicators, not intuition.

MACD golden cross/death cross + RSI overbought/oversold + Bollinger band breakout.

Consider entering the market only when at least two indicators agree.

Dynamic stop-loss to protect principal.

When you can watch the market, move the stop-loss up with profits.

If you can't watch the market, set a hard stop-loss at 3%.

Mandatory withdrawals every Friday.

Withdraw 30% profit without fail.

Trading cryptocurrencies is not a numbers game; cash is the real profit.

Practical skills for candlestick charts.

Short-term: Look at the 1-hour chart, if there are two consecutive bullish candles, consider going long.

In a volatile market: switch to the 4-hour chart and enter near support.

Shitcoins and MEME coins (99% are schemes for harvesting).

Borrowing money to trade cryptocurrencies (this is suicidal behavior).

The core of professional trading: Discipline is greater than talent.

The market specializes in rectifying all grievances:

Those who trade frequently will eventually be drained by fees.

Those who hold positions without stop-loss will eventually face liquidation.

Those who are inadequately greedy will always be on a roller coaster.

Remember:

The difference between a professional trader and a gambler lies not in technique but in the ability to strictly follow rules.

The secret to stable profit is to turn yourself into a ruthless trading machine.
