When I first entered the crypto world, I was just like all newcomers—watching the K-line day and night, rushing in when it rose, running when it fell. What was the result? Liquidation, insomnia, anxiety—all the stress came crashing down, almost breaking me.

It wasn't until later that I realized trading coins isn't about luck; it's about discipline. If you treat it as a job and approach it professionally, your trading state can gradually stabilize. The pitfalls I've encountered over the years, I now share with fellow newcomers to help you avoid unnecessary detours.

**Key Point: Avoid Emotional Trading**

Market movements during the day are most easily influenced by news. True or false news is everywhere, and the K-line swings like a roller coaster, making it impossible to trade properly. Now, I usually only start trading after 9 PM—by then, most of the day's news and funds have been digested, and I can see the K-line more clearly, making it easier to judge the trend.

**Take Profits When You’re Ahead**

After earning 1000U, my first reaction is to withdraw 300U and put it in my pocket, then continue trading with the remaining. Many people fall into greed, always wanting to "push a little more," only to see their gains wiped out in one wave. Before opening a position, you must confirm at least two signals are consistent; otherwise, don’t trade. Have a plan for stop-loss and withdrawal in advance: if you can monitor the market, use a trailing stop to lock in profits; if you can't watch the screen constantly, set a hard stop-loss at 3%—no room for luck.

Every time I make a profit, I withdraw 30%-50% to secure the gains first. Although this might seem like earning less on the surface, it makes trading more secure and peaceful.
