I used to be that trader: Staring at charts all day, chasing green candles, panicking at every dip. It was draining... and expensive.
Then I made one powerful shift: I turned trading into a job. Clock in. Clock out. Collect the bag. Here’s my 7-rule playbook:
1. Trade After 9 PM – When the Noise Fades Daytime is chaos: hype, fakeouts, whale games. After 9 PM? The charts breathe. Moves are real. That’s my golden hour.
2. Take Profits Fast – Don’t Get Greedy Hit $1,000? I bank $300 immediately. Ride the rest with peace of mind. Greed wrecks portfolios. Discipline builds them.
3. Trust Your Tools, Not Your Emotions Feelings lie. Indicators don’t. MACD: Golden cross = green light RSI: Oversold = entry zone. Overbought? Cool off. Bollinger Bands: Squeeze? Big move incoming. When 2 say “go,” I move.
4. Stop-Loss = Survival Gear At the screen? Trail stops up as price rises. Off-screen? Set a firm 3% stop-loss. Risk control = account longevity.
5. Payday is Every Friday End of the week, I withdraw 30% of profits. Crypto in the wallet is nice. Fiat in the bank? That’s real profit.
6. Candlestick Clues = Pure Alpha 1H chart: Two clean green candles = short-term fire. 4H chart: Bounce from key support? That’s my entry. Read the story candles are telling.
7. Rookie Mistakes I Leave to Rookies:
Leverage? Under 5x. 10x only if you’ve earned it.
Meme coins? Fun, but no thanks. I trade substance.
Max 3 trades/day. Focus = profits.
Never use money you can’t afford to lose. Ever.
Clock in. Trade smart. Get paid. This isn’t gambling—it’s a shift. Treat it like a pro, and the profits will treat you right.
Bitcoin’s Calm Before the Next Storm In just six weeks, Bitcoin has surged an incredible $37,000, climbing from the $73K range to over $110,000 without even a single correction larger than 8%. This kind of relentless bullish momentum has left many sidelined — and now that a minor correction is happening, the bears are celebrating early. But history rarely favors short-term pessimism in bull markets. Every small pullback brings a wave of “I told you so” from the bears, but more often than not, they end up getting liquidated when the market reverses harder and faster than expected. Bitcoin thrives on shaking out weak hands. The recent dip is more likely a healthy pause than a reversal — a chance to reset before resuming the trend. Fundamentals remain strong, demand continues to rise, and institutional interest is far from fading. If you're a long-term holder, moments like this are just noise. If you're a short seller riding on emotion, be careful — #bitcoin @Bitcoin $BTC 👍
