Can you make money in the crypto world? Yes. But the prerequisite is not to treat it as a casino, but as a real job.

In the three years I've been in the industry, I've stepped on countless pits—staying up late watching charts, chasing gains and selling losses based solely on intuition, margin calls, insomnia, anxiety. Only after losing more than half of my capital did I fully realize the importance of a proper approach. Later, I completely changed my trading mindset, operating according to a "commute" schedule, which became more and more stable, and my profits also increased.

These are my 7 practical tips earned through blood, sweat, and tears. Feel free to use them directly:

**First, choose the right time to enter.** During the day, market news is chaotic and fluctuations are disorderly, making it easy to step into traps. After 9 PM, most news has been digested, K-line trends become clear, and the direction is definite. Entering at this time can double your win rate.

**Secure small profits promptly.** If you earn 1000U, take out 300U first to lock in gains, and continue trading the remaining 300U with a light position. I've seen too many people triple their profits and then wait for five times, only to be wiped out by a correction, losing their principal. It's not worth it.

**Abandon intuition, let indicators speak.** My rule is to watch three core indicators on TradingView—MACD golden/death cross, RSI overbought/oversold, Bollinger Band squeeze breakout. Only act when at least two indicators agree on the direction. Relying on feelings often leads to regret in eight out of ten trades.

**Follow the market with your stop-loss.** If you can monitor the chart, adjust your stop-loss as the price moves (for example, if your position bought at 1000U rises to 1100U, move your stop-loss from the original position to 1050U). If you don't have time to watch, set a hard stop-loss at 3% to prevent sudden liquidation.

**Withdraw profits every time.** The numbers in your account are virtual; real money only exists in your bank account. Develop the habit of withdrawing 30%-50% of each profit—don't leave it in the crypto account hoping it will multiply tenfold someday.

**Focus on key points in candlestick analysis.** Short-term, look at the 1-hour chart; if there are two consecutive bullish candles with volume supporting, go long. If the price is in a sideways range, check the 4-hour chart for support levels; entering near support can effectively reduce risk.

**Avoid these four pitfalls:** never over-leverage and hold large positions, never trade coins you don't understand, limit yourself to a maximum of 3 trades per day, and never borrow money to trade. Following these four rules can avoid 80% of liquidation risks.

Trading is never a game of impulsive wealth; it’s about executing stable strategies with discipline. Treat trading as a job—operate on schedule, set clear take-profit and stop-loss points, shut down at the designated time. Over the long term, this approach will make earning money more stable and easier.

Making money in crypto isn’t hard; the key is to find the right rhythm.
