I’ve been trading crypto for ten years, and the tuition I’ve paid could’ve bought me a car.

These days, I consistently make around 50% a year, thanks to a few down-to-earth tricks—the eighth one is the most ruthless.

1. Keep your hands off the buy button. If the market hasn’t formed a pattern I’ve practiced spotting hundreds of times, I’d rather watch videos than place a trade. If you can’t control yourself, don’t blame the market for not giving you a chance.

2. The night-owl strategy. Fake news flies around during the day, and chasing it just makes you exit liquidity. After 9 p.m., the big players have finished dinner, and the price action finally shows its true colors. Most of my gains over the past few years came from trades I picked up late at night.

3. Take a bite while the meat’s still in your mouth. If I make 1,000U, I immediately transfer 300 to my bank card and do whatever I want with the rest. I’ve seen too many people make enough for a car, refuse to cash out, and end up losing even their bicycle. Once the money’s in your pocket, it’s yours.

4. Before placing a trade, check three indicators: MACD for direction, RSI to avoid chasing highs, and Bollinger Bands to watch for reversals. This can help you avoid 80% of the pitfalls.

5. Use a “moving castle” for stop-losses: make 100U, move your stop-loss up by 50U, and keep repeating the process to lock in your profits.

6. Every Friday at 3 p.m., transfer 30% to your bank card—force yourself to secure your gains.

7. In fast-moving markets, watch the 1-hour chart. When the market’s moving sideways, switch to the 4-hour chart to find support. Use different timeframes for different market conditions; don’t get stuck in one way of thinking.

8. And most importantly: leverage over 10x is practically asking to get wrecked; beginners should practice with 3x. Shitcoins are all just scythes for chopping down retail traders—stay away. Place no more than 3 trades a day. The fewer trades you make, the longer you’ll survive.

The more laid-back you are, the fatter your wallet gets. If you want to learn this no-nonsense approach, come talk to me. #比特币现货ETF三季度净流入63.4亿美元
