Many people want to settle in the crypto trading world, but they always fall into the same two pits—trying to buy the bottom early and being envious without action. When I first entered the scene, I was also tempted by "getting in early" and got cut multiple times like a rookie. After hundreds of trials, errors, and reviews, I summarized 10 unwavering rules that turned the crypto space from a casino into a place where you can steadily generate cash. If you want trading to be your livelihood and the crypto world to be a continuous income source, these principles must stay in your mind.

Strong coins should only be traded after they have fallen for at least 9 trading days; don’t be an early arriver who jumps in too soon. When the market rises for two consecutive days, even if the momentum is fierce, cut your position in half first. Locking in profits is professional operation, not cowardice. If a single-day increase exceeds 7%, don’t rush to buy the next day even if the trend looks strong; getting the rhythm right means more profits.

Sideways consolidation is the most dangerous. If it lasts 3 days, watch carefully; if it drags on for 6 days with no movement, switch to another target. Stop-loss must be executed swiftly—if you buy and the next day you don’t make money but lose instead, close the position immediately. Dragging your feet destroys your account.

Remember the "2, 5, 7" rhythm: rise for 2 days, then on the 3rd day, buy a dip; on the 5th day, take some profits; on the 7th day, reassess and adjust. This rhythm is a rare weapon in the crypto world. Volume and price tell the truth—breakouts with high volume at low levels are signals to buy; high volume at high levels without price increase means you should run. The intentions of big players are hidden in the trading volume.

Only dance with the trend: use the 3-day moving average to gauge short-term direction, the 30-day for medium-term swings, the 80-day to decide if you can re-enter heavily, and the 120-day to determine the overall trend. Once the trend deviates, even tempting opportunities should be ignored. Small funds win against the market through rules, mindset, and execution—luck has no place here. The most painful rule is to repeat simple strategies; this is the true logic for long-term profitability. Not many can stick with it.

You don’t need to be a master to make a living from trading. Just avoid greed, panic, and following the crowd. Stick to these rules, and profits will slowly fill your pockets. Life will become more stable and steady.
