Many people ask me why I went from losing money to stable profits. There’s no real secret—just changing the amateur mindset of trading cryptocurrencies. During those early days: staying up late watching charts, chasing gains and selling losses, experiencing margin calls, insomnia, and anxiety in rotation. Later, I simply treated it as a serious job, and surprisingly, I became more and more stable in earning.
Here are some lessons from years of real trading experience—newcomers, remember to save this:
**Timing Matters in Trading** The market noise is high during the day, with mixed news and wild fluctuations, making the trend unpredictable. My habit is to only trade after 9 PM—by then, most news has been digested, the candlestick charts look cleaner, and the direction is clearer.
**Never Be Greedy When Making Money** If you earn 1000U, first withdraw 300U to secure your gains. Only then continue to gamble with the remaining. I’ve seen too many people “tripling their money, then aiming for five times,” only to be wiped out by a sudden correction, losing all previous profits. There’s no need to repeat this mistake.
**Use Indicators, Not Feelings** Before entering a trade, set up a charting tool. Look for MACD (golden/death cross), RSI (overbought/oversold), Bollinger Bands (squeeze breakout). Only enter when at least two indicators agree. Trading based on feelings often results in nine losses out of ten.
**Adjust Stop-Loss Flexibly** If you’re watching the market, raise your stop-loss as the price rises—for example, buy at 1000U, if it goes to 1100U, set the stop-loss at 1050U. When not watching, set a hard stop-loss at 3% to prevent a sudden crash.
**Account Balance Is Not Real Money** Every time you make a profit, plan to withdraw some. The money in your account isn’t real until it hits your bank. Having a high account balance on the platform is meaningless. I suggest withdrawing 30%-50% in batches after making profits—don’t keep everything hoping to tenfold your money.
**Tips for K-Line Trading** For short-term trades, focus on the 1-hour chart. Two consecutive bullish candles can be a signal to go long. When the market consolidates, switch to the 4-hour chart to find support levels. Enter near support to increase your success rate.
**Common Pitfalls That Lead to Crashes** Heavy leverage, unfamiliar altcoins, more than three trades a day, borrowing money to trade—if you fall into any of these, the risk of blowing up your account is terrifyingly high. This is not alarmist; I’ve seen too many cases.
In short, trading cryptocurrencies is never a game of impulsive quick riches but a long-term strategy execution. Keep your emotions stable, don’t reckless, don’t be swayed by price swings. Stick to the rules, and you’ll naturally seize opportunities in the crypto world. This understanding comes from my experience of margin calls and sleepless nights.

I tried operating at 9 PM, and it definitely made me more alert. Those false breakouts during the day are really misleading.
Earning 1000 and withdrawing 300 sounds good, but can you really do it? I haven't seen many who can hold on.
Reliable indicators are crucial; this phrase is worth ten thousand dollars in tuition.
Never cross the red line of borrowing money to trade cryptocurrencies. I've seen too many cases of complete financial ruin.
The most critical part is withdrawing to your wallet; account balances are just illusions, bank cards are the reality.
Set your stop-loss well; only then can you minimize liquidation. There's no room for negotiation on this.
It's basically turning off greed, turning on discipline, and then making money. It sounds simple but is incredibly effective.

Only dare to operate after 9 PM, that's right, too many leek cutters are active during the day.
Withdrawing to secure the gains hits hard—so many people die because of greed.
Indicators must be consistent before entering the market; I feel it's still a bit unreliable.
Borrowing money to trade cryptocurrencies is a real red line; I've seen too many people ruined because of it.

It's really a no-go to operate after 9 PM; just watching the market during the day can get you all mixed up.

I’ve also tried this move after 9 PM, and it definitely reduces the noise a lot, but it’s easy to stay up late.
The part about borrowing money to trade cryptocurrencies is the harshest. I have a buddy who’s still paying off debt because of that.
The ratio of earning 1000 and withdrawing 300 is quite realistic, but when the account really doubles, greed takes over, and it’s hard to stick to it.
Only enter when two indicators are aligned. It sounds simple, but how long does it take to exercise restraint?

It's really unreasonable to operate at 9 PM. I still make money during the day. The key is still the mindset.
