$LIGHT 90% of people trading cryptocurrencies don't make money, it's not that the technology isn't good,

but because they never took it seriously as a job from the very beginning.

$RIVER In the first few years after I entered the market, I stayed up late watching the charts, chasing peaks and cutting losses, placing orders based on emotions,

experiencing liquidations, insomnia, and anxiety in abundance.

$TLM The moment I truly started to make stable profits was when I did something counterintuitive:

I treated trading cryptocurrencies like a regular job with fixed hours.

The following 7 rules are hard-earned lessons I've learned with real money; beginners should follow them to at least avoid losing for several years.

1. Only place orders after 9 PM

During the day, there are too many mixed messages and false breakouts;

by night, emotions have settled, and the K-line is cleaner, with clearer direction.

2. Withdraw profits first

Earn 1000U, withdraw 300U first.

The numbers in your account aren't money; only what you can withdraw is.

3. Not looking at indicators = gambling

Only looking at MACD, RSI, and Bollinger Bands,

at least two need to be aligned before entering the market.

4. Stop losses must follow

If you can watch the market, raise the stop loss as it rises;

if you can't watch, set a hard stop loss at 3% to guard against sudden crashes.

5. Every profit must be taken

I withdraw 30%–50% of every trade.

Being greedy once can nullify all previous efforts.

6. K-lines should be analyzed by time frame

For short-term, look at the 1-hour chart,

for fluctuations, look at the 4-hour chart,

not analyzing by time frame is just guessing.

7. These red lines must not be crossed

No heavy positions, no high leverage, and don't trade coins you don't understand,

a maximum of 3 trades a day, and absolutely do not borrow money to trade cryptocurrencies.

Trading cryptocurrencies isn't about impulsively turning around,

it's about following a set of rules that can be executed long-term.

When you start trading by time, placing orders as per plan, and shutting down at designated times,

you'll find that money isn't earned through gambling anymore but begins to flow in steadily.
