it is wise to have multiple source of income, no need to leave your work unless you have a 80% win rate from 100 trades. Also dont stick with a single exchange site
That kind of win rate is simply too high for most traders to obtain, and even if you could do this most likely the profits obtained from each trade will be very small, and if we add the fees and taxes you will need to pay I will be surprised if you were profitable at all, sometimes it is better to sacrifice some of that win rate in order for the profits of each one of your trades to be higher, but finding out the exact spot in which your win rate and your profits are at its highest is something difficult and it takes several tries before you get it right.

Having two sources of income, one of which is trading and the other is your main job, will not work either. You won't be able to trade properly with your main job. It's another matter if you just invest in cryptocurrencies for some part of your salary. It is more likely to be a win-win scenario in the future. 80% of successful trades are fantastic. It's impossible in the long term.

You can actually do both in a day by properly managing your time. I'm have a full time job during the day and I focus in trading during my free time or before resting at night. Both are actually good ways to make money so you don't have to sacrifice one but rather try to handle your time appropriately. If you want to be a full-time trader, you still have to make sure that you have another source of income because we all know the risks of trading.
Seems like you are doing perfect but honestly I am very poor in managing my schedules. This is the reason that I have stopped trading long back itself. Now I do focus only on long term bitcoin investment and interestingly I am into profits compared how I struggled in trading. Trading is good but it is recommended only for the people who got time and skill. So, in my opinion I am not fit for trading along with my job.

Moreover, investing both short and long term is possible for all job goers but active trading is possible only for managerial people who got more leisure time compared to other level of people in an office.

I did but it will not work out now because we are in a bear market. For now save your money as USDT, or USDC. We can also get profit in Bitcoin Futures to monetize the bear market but it is too difficult as the market is so volatile.

Does anyone here day trade crypto successfully whilst working a full time job?

I have medium experience with trading crypto and over the last few weeks have been mainly using the TradingView scalping indicator from https://cryptochiefs.io with good results. The problem is that I find it really difficult to manage the trades properly whilst working as they move fast any normally require that I am watching the screen. Kind of thinking I either need to forget about the idea or scale up from where I am and go full time.

Those of you with normal jobs, are you day trading or mainly long term crypto investors/ HODLers?!!

Dedication really matters. Anyone can do trading but not all are capable of doing it.

Even leaving the job, its not an assurance that someone will have success in doing trades.

On that part of choosing trading crypto over a job, it needs a serious approach to decide what's the best thing to do.
I have a friend who is quitting his job so he can focus more on trading and he become successful and earn more than the salary from his previous job.
It was indeed a choice for everyone but make sure that we are already aware of the consequences. Might say that my friend is lucky in trading and he is destined to become a full-time trader but you are right, some people make mistakes in choosing to trade as they are incapable enough to do this and ended up losing their money.

I do not trade during work hours. Because I can't spare a lot of time to analyze the market trend during my working hours. I occasionally trade at night. I think most of the transactions are more active at night. There may be many others like me.

I think the main goal of people to work is to make money, if we can profit or earn income from crypto trading then it is worth mentioning work, I have friends who look like unemployment but he can meet the needs of life and even seem to have great income, and when I am Asked he invited to come to his house and office that was like an office and he was a crypto trader, forex and so on.

Exactly and that's why before plunging into trading it becomes a must to study first,
the risk is very big and to make a profit it takes knowledge and skills,
what is clear trading is not as easy as people think

Not easy for sure, I have been doing this for many years and I can say that its getting harder by time. Not because of the job itself, job is fine, but because you also live a life.
I agree and at the same time, you need to remember all kind of business might give you the same kind of headaches over the time still do you find why people choose trading along with their regular job? It must be due to trading can be done from home after the job (if you run any other business then you need to visit there after your regular job's place). After pandemic, I do hear that lots of people adapted trading as work-from-home culture motivated them.

Good is to have the time allocated for different purposes. To me trading is just a way to increase the holding, here I just open a trade and leave it.
If your regular job allows you to focus on trading then fine. Time is real criteria, we need to consider here. If you have time to manage both, you are appreciated to do multiple income streams.

Trading is not an easy job and it is very difficult to do it if you work full time. Trading is time consuming, it has to be constantly watching the charts and analyzing the market to find when to buy or sell. Without time and focus, trading can become a burden and result in failure and loss.

So, if you spend time on sleeping, spend time at work, and then spend time at trading, what is left for you? Nothing, when do you go out? When do you watch a movie? When you do play a game? When do you date? If married when do you spend time with your wife? It becomes a tough thing and it takes a lot of hard work to not make that a problem in your life.
Without a doubt trading can be a very time consuming as it requires that you are always watching the charts without any breaks in order to find a good entry point for your trades, however if you are relatively young I would say that it is worth to do this now, as this is the moment to work hard to create a solid base for your future, and while it is difficult this is the perfect moment to do it as you do not want to do this once bitcoin is worth a fortune and you regret not making the effort now that you could.

Yeah, it is a tedious task to concentrate on different things at the same time. Good is to have the time allocated for different purposes. To me trading is just a way to increase the holding, here I just open a trade and leave it. When our preference is to execute the trade on the hourly basis the risk and the concentration is must. Living with job and trading is possible to some extent.

It was difficult to be in trading if you are in a full-time job. Just think about the time we need to spend in trading versus the time we spend on our job. You will find out that it needs more time. That is why it won't make you succeed and become a full-time trader if you are still working full-time, our time is limited and we need also to relax. We don't just talk about money OP but we also have to address our health. If we are too stress, no way we can make profit from trading, we only just fail in the end.

Currently it is increasingly difficult to get work, let alone pandemic that occurs almost 3 years and makes many companies go bankrupt, the presence of crypto trading can be a good and ideal solution to earn income, especially only with internet capital and initially looking for assets from bounties or airdrops so that they are not It takes a deposit from a credit card or bank transfer.

I would prefer to invest long term while working full time. Trading takes longer to analyze the market and can take away from working time. Trading not only takes more time but is also prone to losses. It is much better to hold for a long time with a guaranteed return, and buying regularly at low prices and waiting patiently is a profitable strategy.

Day trade may be similar to a full-time trade so it's difficult to do it together with your full-time job. I think it will be better to decide if what works best for you. I know many people will prefer trading because it gives you freedom so why not quit your job?

Another good thing about trading is that your earnings are not going to be limited to a minimum pay. You are sure that all the efforts that you do are going to be worth it. Still, there are people who are loyal to where they started. They are loyal to their boss so they just go for investing instead and not trading, as it is more manageable. Unlike trading, investment doesn't needs a constant monitoring.

Trading is of course something that can generate profit and income, not a strange thing if someone who only relies on trading he can be rich and of course has plenty of time to find other alternative income, of course, requires a large skill and capital to become a successful trader.

It is not easy to successfully trade cryptocurrencies while working full time, working while not having time to focus on proper trading and analysis, time will be allocated in a bad way. I prefer to invest for a long time, without spending too much time analyzing the market, investing in Bitcoin and waiting for the right time to sell it to make a profit. Work and long-term investing are easier for me at the same time.
Without a doubt it is hard as this is the equivalent of having two different jobs at the same time, and anyone that has ever done that knows how difficult it can be to perform adequately at both, however it is possible to do both if you are a really good trader, but since many people overestimate their skills then it is preferable that for people that have very intense jobs they become long term traders instead, as not only it is less time consuming but it is also easier to get positive results as long as you can wait for the market to move favorably.

though we can use Stop/loss yet those are not enough way to successfully trade , Daytrading needs lot pf time actually we need to sit on our computer for hours just to monitor the flow and to find a best buy/sell.
maybe doing both only good for those who had expertise or at least good at it but in most crypto players? this is a heck of a risk to do.
just Work hard and invest , or trade lot and stop working.

I'm working full-time, 8 hours a day, and still trading. But what I observed is really hard to be in trading without enough time to check the market and mostly I indeed up losing. And I realized that I have to do trading only if I have enough time and during my off, yes it was more effective than what I did before. Trading requires time and focus, that is why if you are doing this make sure you have a good environment and your attention is only on the computer, otherwise, you will just lose your money.
often someone who works for real will not be able to focus on trading. Besides being tired, of course, there isn't much time for us to do research. even more often we are left behind for good trading momentum. too late to follow the hype that the coin is doing, being forced to follow then it will put us at a loss.

if you are a part-time worker. and it takes up your time so you feel tired. short term or long-term investment will be more suitable than trading. it only takes your time occasionally on the sidelines of your rest.

There are two things involved here;
1. You main job
2. Trading(passive income).

The former should be considered more important than the later. So you would try as much as possible not to let the later affect the former.
Apart from day trading you can also be trading intermittently. For example, when all coins are red you buy some coins of your choice according to your research and wait for someday or week when the whole market will move and cash out. I follow this up and make some gains.
Try make trading not to be time consuming so that it won't affect your job
Trading cant be passive because it does involved effort and time because if you do pertain that you are just simply holding your assets or coins in a certain period then you arent trading but rather you are investing.

There's significant differences among the two but do share up with the same motive which is to make profits but they do really differ when it comes to time frame on when you would be securing
your profits or cutting up your losses.

Having a job and having a trading activity would really be hard since this would involved proper time management.If you could able to bare that up
then i dont see anything problem with it.

That is right, day trading is not passing. What I described above is the strategy I suggested for op, which is investing in an intermediate period. It shouldn't be long time and it shouldn't be day trading. This will enable him time to study the market and also carry out his duties in the company.
But if he cannot it, he should try to make it passing by investing in a long time purpose with some percentage of his salary.
Apart from the physical stress, trading stress is worse, especially when you are on losses, you cannot concentrate on work.

I tried this before, having a job while a day trader too. But it's hard to manage my time and I can't focus resulting to missed opportunity to buy/sell. It gives me headache and stress so I decided to stop and change my strategy.

Now i'm holding my crypto with a set target price when to sell. If the price didn't reach yet my desired amount to sell already then I will hold it for long.

If you can do both then why not? But it's important you can manage your time so you can do it well.

If you are a big boss and others do all the work in the office for you, then it is possible that you will have the opportunity to trade during working hours. But I think it's better in this case to focus on investing, which takes less time than trading. Otherwise, your business may become less efficient by losing a manager.

I can't focus on my trading while I have a job since my job is already taking a lot of my personal time, so right now I'm just investing in top altcoins and holding for a long term since the market price is really good to buy. If I work in an office and I have a lot of time to turn on my laptop then I can think about becoming day trading but unfortunately, that chance never happens to me.  

for those of you who do have a busy life in the real world and it takes up your time, it is very difficult to divide the time in daily trading. I also feel like that, therefore, I only trade when I have time off like weekends. I have enough time to be able to do everything.
but I don't do it every week, it depends on market conditions too. I do invest more in the long term. trading is only done when you see an opportunity.

but for the OP who wants to focus on both, I don't think it's a problem if you can manage your time. like trading when done work. or during work breaks. use the stop loss feature, it will give us enough profit if we don't focus too much on the trades we are doing.
Considering that trading isn't an easy task, therefore, spending more time is required. This is a burden if you have a full-time job and only have limited time to spend on trading as it was not advisable anymore. Thus, if we wanted to trade make sure that we have peace of mind so our focus is on the computer and trading otherwise, we end up just losing.

Though some people can manage to handle both of them together, I think depending on the job they have.

Indeed, trading is not an easy job, I tried to become a full-time trader once, but I quickly failed. Not only because I can't make a profit, but sitting in front of a computer for 14-16 hours a day makes me extremely stressed and almost crazy. It's actually more of a burden than a job that I'll enjoy and be comfortable with.
I love having an outside job and combined with investing in the market, it gives me an additional source of income as well as relieves a lot of pressure for me.

If you have a steady job, you can trade in your free time. Trading requires more time and energy, and there are greater risks, and even professional traders cannot guarantee permanent profits.
If you don’t have a lot of free time, you can choose long-term investment, choose to invest in Bitcoin or potential currencies for long-term holding, and wait patiently to earn huge profits with high returns.

Does anyone here day trade crypto successfully whilst working a full time job?
~snip~
Those of you with normal jobs, are you day trading or mainly long term crypto investors/ HODLers?!!

I can't focus on my trading while I have a job since my job is already taking a lot of my personal time, so right now I'm just investing in top altcoins and holding for a long term since the market price is really good to buy. If I work in an office and I have a lot of time to turn on my laptop then I can think about becoming day trading but unfortunately, that chance never happens to me.

Does anyone here day trade crypto successfully whilst working a full time job?

I have medium experience with trading crypto and over the last few weeks have been mainly using the TradingView scalping indicator from https://cryptochiefs.io with good results. The problem is that I find it really difficult to manage the trades properly whilst working as they move fast any normally require that I am watching the screen. Kind of thinking I either need to forget about the idea or scale up from where I am and go full time.

Those of you with normal jobs, are you day trading or mainly long term crypto investors/ HODLers?!!

I bet there are some members here that do trading while doing a normal job coz I know one.  He is a teacher and at the same time crypto trader.  He is both a long-term holder and trader via scalping.  He did for some hours when he got home after his class.

I think having another source of income is a great thing, so I think you should manage your time well than giving up one of your sources of income.  We never know when we will be needing this extra income, so for as long as the new income possibility is presenting itself to you, you should grab it.

Does anyone here day trade crypto successfully whilst working a full time job?
I am not and I am failed to do it. A successful day trader will commonly need extra time and energy to work. If we have been working fulltime outside and then also focus on the daily trader regularly, it will really make us exhausted. Although the result may be promising because we can earn so much money, but, we will really lose energy, time, mind, an also focus. But,t his will also depend on different people. What kind of person you are? If you can really manage your time very well, no need to have long hours to be back home after work, and the full-time job is not kind of job that really stressful and tiring, you may be able to do also day trading. And it may happen if this is not kind of full-time day trading, but only daily trading to earn money.
For me, I am focusing on my job and als long term holding. This si less risk and also not really exhatisng for me.

In my opinion, you should consider trading as your main job only if you are very experienced and have a good balance, as well as additional funds as insurance in case of major market drawdowns or losses in trading. Any collapse in the market and a trader can turn into an ordinary unemployed person who is left without means of livelihood. If someone wants to be engaged in trading and live at the expense of income from trading, he should take care of an additional source of income in case of market force majeure.

If you are obtaining good results then this is not the time to give up but it is also not the time to scale up your operations and give up your job either, without a doubt doing both is hard but you need to keep this going for at least a year, this way if you were just lucky then you will eventually see this in your results and you will still have your job to earn an income instead of depending entirely on day trading, but if you can maintain this over the long term then you can begin to think about trading full-time and give up your job at the time.
You are right about giving it more time because he only have a medium experience so far as he only started a few weeks ago. We don't know maybe this is just a beginners luck and we are still in a bear market. He may need to be exposed first in different market situations so that it won't give him a shock which can affect his trading performance. What he can do for now to lessen his burn out is to allocate lesser time in trading. If he don't want to, then he can try using a trading bot.

This should help him automate his trades in the background while he continue working on other things. In my opinion, a full time job is still better as they are more stable and had lots of benefits over trading so I won't drop him, no matter what.

As I can say I have been trading since a long time, but probably for me day trading is still the best option even I'm also doing a full time job but I gave a little time to trading. I know it is too difficult to do day trading with full time job but still I has some confidence and have some knowledge about the trading as well.

I really advise against day trading, even the supposed experts can get it badly wrong. All you have to do is look at FTX for a recent example, it’s a very dangerous game. You can quite easily go underwater & make it even worse chasing losses.

Your best strategy is just to buy regularly & be willing to be patient, wait many years & you make big profits. So far in crypto it has proven to be a very profitable strategy.
You're not talking about trade, you're talking about hold. These are totally different things. Some people, apart from holding, regularly trade intraday on the exchange using margin. That is why it is impossible to hold money in a personal wallet. I think there is a separate deposit for that and the trader takes all the risks associated with holding funds on the exchange. I also have a deposit on the exchange to trade in addition to coins in my personal wallet.

I'd think it was possible? Stop losses can be set up after all though you won't be able to take advantage of most openings if so. There's also the existence of bots so really, if you have the necessary knowledge then I think it's rather doable. In those cases I don't really see the necessity to drop off your job, you can just look at it as having a guaranteed source of income and a not-so-guaranteed source of income. You can also just check and buy during bottoms and consider it as long-term investments, aka selling them after a year or two, or whenever the market seems profitable and would drop off again.

I have been unemployed for several years since 2014, and I got serious about this industry in 2015, and with God's mercy and help, I somehow managed to survive. And my start here was doing crypto trading before I got into this bitcointalk forum.

Until now, this crypto trading is what I do to get a profit at least in the day trading method. Sometimes I also do scalping when I'm in the mood, but I rarely do it.

I got my first start this way. I was still working at a job and then I started trading at the job, thankfully crypto exchanges at that time wasn't banned, and people were putting money at everything and we were small amount of people back then in the crypto world so when you saw a new thing get listed, you would end up with it going 100x easily, and I would see them here first on bitcointalk, and then I would buy them p2p and then I would wait until they are listed, most didn't get listed but the ones that did would make me thousands.

Unfortunately, I didn't used that money to buy bitcoin and hold, I spent them, but assumed I would continue to make that kind of profit and eventually quit my job, not making same amount of profit, but I do survive at least.

As a full-time investor, first of all, you must have a certain capital and good performance before you can consider being a full-time investor. Otherwise, you are likely to give up, because you need to bear too much pressure, just like the pressure on money is everyone's biggest worry.


When you are a full-time investor, you have to think like a boss doing business, and then make your funds bigger, how to manage your funds well, and then keep making money (win more and lose less).

Online trading is commonly used as an official job, even when I was in college a few years ago I had applied for work for the position of traders on the Futures Exchange, Forex and so on, now the presence of crypto trading certainly makes it easier for anyone to become a professional trader and deserves to be the main job.

The market is volatile and unstable, and there is no guarantee that the transaction will always be profitable. Choose a combination of work and trading, manage the time of work and trading correctly, and make long-term transactions in your free time. Trading can't be profitable all the time, secure a regular income from a steady job to have enough money to trade and hopefully profit from both.

Time management is always the key. No man is too bisy if he really want to achieve something. I am currently having a regular job 10hrs a day. Within the same interval I am 'sneaking' activities in this forum, then when I got home, I do trade for a couple of hours. Is it tiring? Ofcourse, but I guess it is worthy of my time. Also, there are rest days for a pause, I don't and I won't do this 24/7 so I'm good. The only downside is that, I am not able to travel regularly, or do other stuffs such as meeting my friends on a daily basis but I do set a certain date for it during my rest days. Things are well balanced on my end. Trading is risky indeed, but luckily I am quite earning from it so I decide to continue this routine, and guess what, I'm on my 8th month already.
if you are still entering the 8th month with these activities, then I am taking longer.. this year has even entered the 6th year with the same activities by dividing time for the main job and working as a trader and being active in this forum. Even though at first I wasn't used to it, but now it has become a routine that I often do. Regarding good time management, we will find the right rhythm to manage time for the main job, side job in crypto, and for rest time. rest is very important and don't work 24/7 because it's the same as killing you slowly, quality rest is very important. Before continuing to work at home as a trader or be active in forums, I took a break to get fit again. and of course there are holidays like you do too to refresh the brain.

Many people underestimate that trading crypto is something that does not make and waste money, I have friends whose lives from forex trading since 8 years ago, and he can get greater income than working in the office, now he focuses on trading crypto and he tells a story Have a profit of more than $ 5000 a month and have loses with a greater value.
Of course, If you have a vast experience in trading, It is very possible to make a living on it. Either forex or crypto, Profit is very possible and there are many people who's main job is trading. Losses is inevitable in trading but a good and experienced traders know how to properly manage their funds so if a trader lost a trade, I'm pretty sure the losses will turn into profit in the future depending on the current market situation. I myself tried daily trading and but I personally think it isn't sustainable on how I do things. It will all matters on how you control yourself and what kind of lifestyle you have. In my case, It is better to have a stable job with stable income rather than going full time on trading. Treating trading as a side hustle better works for me.

It all depends on the nature of your job, if you have a demanding job, you will barely have enough time to eat let alone engage in trading crypto which is equally demanding and time consuming.
Am not a trader but I am working and I understand how tasking it can be if your job is a bit demanding. For someone to be able to do both successfully, it means their job is very flexible.
Actually, my work is not flexible because when I start to enter the main working hours around 12 hours, there are no activities that I do including crypto, I focus on my main job.
But when the main work hours are over I start to focus on crypto work including this forum. Whether you have time or not can be arranged, but if your main job has a lot of time to spend, it will be difficult to balance it.
All of course can be arranged according to habits and how to manage your few free hours.
No job is very flexible, everyone must have hours that cannot be filled by other jobs.

it's just about how we can balance our time between our main job and work in crypto as a trader.
I also do both of these jobs well and in accordance with the portion of time for each job. Usually, I do crypto trading after finishing the main work. like 2 divisions of work time for the main job and the crypto job.
Nothing is difficult as long as you manage your time well so that you find the right time rhythm so that each job can be done to the fullest. I do
work in the company for about 12 hours a day and the rest in crypto.

Can't really say I'm an active trader myself because I just do it whenever I want, it could be once every month or once every bi-weekly depends on my emotion and mood so I can do better when I decide to do trading on that day. I also have a side job with web programming stuff besides of doing trading, it's not a full-time job but still having 2 important stuff to care is really time-consuming and use your brain capacity to maintain.

Those of you with normal jobs, are you day trading or mainly long term crypto investors/ HODLers?!!
Pretty sure if you have full-time job and don't have time to check everything 24/7 then your best bet would be long-term investment, DCA, or any similar kind of strategy for more comfortable.

Long term holding for guaranteed gains is much better. This way you don't risk your money with day trading and don't risk decreasing your productivity at work and receiving a warning from your boss and even a dismissal, depending the case. There are so many people looking for a stable job nowadays that those who are in a position like that must be very thankful and do their best to fulfill every obligations with excellency. And never delude yourself thinking trading is more important and rewarding that a fixed job. It's not easy to earn money with crypto, unlike virtual gurus state, and there is the aggravating there is no guarantee of profits and there is no guarantee a potential job you find here will last and give you stability.

Doing trading while at the same time having a day job is not that easy to fulfill.

While others can commit both 100%, not all people have the ability to do both at the same time. I'm really amazed at those people who can do that multi-tasking jobs as both trading and day jobs are really stressful.

With seriousness and eagerness to learn, others find the best way how to do both at the same time while still being responsible for their usual tasks outside the web.
True, something that will indeed be difficult to do because trading takes longer to analyze the market. By having a job that cannot be abandoned, of course we must be good at dividing time. The main job must have a time schedule, while we can trade with a more flexible time. Don't chase too much, we don't have to do it simultaneously because it's very difficult. Because we could have neglected our main work that we should have focused more on.
Trading can be done anytime while we can, don't push yourself because it can make us lose focus. As long as we have a main job, we can do side trading at any time.

That’s definitely not my pie. I would never risk my full time job and trading at the same time. First thing is you will not be able to focus on both with 100% accuracy which means either of the work won’t be doing right. Depending on your jobs nature you may choose to do it but it’s really not recommended. You could follow news on the go regarding the coins which you are trading but it should not become your habit. It may hamper your work quality and result into after effects at appraisals. At least these are my thoughts

Day trading is hard if you are having a full time day job. I mean you have to manage your work and then your house and then your trades.
Day trading requires monitoring the trades which is not feasible for many if they have a day job.
Even I have a day job and do few trades in a month but I don't do day trading since it requires time and effort.
I mostly buy some trades and wait for few days or weeks for my targets to achieve.

I tried it for a while, and while i was making money i thought i was good at it. Turns out i am horrible at it. Worst thing is that if you are relying to make money with it and you lose it too fast because you think that stop limit orders are for suckers. Tongue

Then you have nothing to fall back to and you will be really scared to trade as you are mostly gambling with your future.
I imagine it's more fun when you make a ton of money in seperate account and you are only trading with like 5% of your wealth.
For me it was too intense as i don't have enough savings if mess it up. So i am not risking it anymore, i'll trade but not as my job.

I think never have any one here success trading cryptocurrency without any loss yet, but they can recovering with how much their loss and get profit back later.  I have full time with online working and trading is main job although right now have floating with my altcoin price still drop and waiting until price going up later. Several people make trading cryptocurrency as side job because have real job in daily day and use free time for trading in cryptocurrency.

I think everyone can do two things apart from their main job, but trading can be used as a side job, even if it's not full time online, depending with us how time controlling when trading at cryptocurrency.

Being a full-time trader is not that bad, but to make a profit from it and turn it into your primary source of income, you need a lot of time to do it, and it can't be done overnight. Another thing is that you need to ensure your financial stability so that you won't have trouble in your life because trading is not always profitable, even if you are a professional trader. I prefer doing multiple jobs rather than focusing on just one job, it will reduce my risk as well as stabilize my income.

If I read your story, you need to manage your time between work and trading to benefit from both. I advise you to trade when you are not working or just relax so you can focus on trading and analyzing properly. Or if you still have trouble trading, that means you are not cut out for trading and my advice is that it might be better to become a long term crypto investor/HODler while you can still focus on your main job. It will be better because you don't have to think about the price movement daily and your investment will still be the same as before.

I personally am a hodler. As you already said, you need to invest a lot of time and effort in order to be a successful crypto day trader and i just don't have the time for that because i am working a full time job and we are also currently remodeling our house so it have almost no free time to do research or to follow trading channels and so on. I am also a very careful crypto investor i would say, so doing active day trading is just not my type of thing i would guess.
I also think that if you start to trade actively you should only use money that you really can afford to use because especially when you have no experience at all the chance that you will lose all of your funds are pretty high.

When I wasn't working yet I tried daily trading, at that time I used 2 exchanges namely poloniex and bittrex, daily trading was also very difficult because to get good price movements I had to buy new coins, sometimes profit and loss, trading of course can be used as a job of course it requires capital so have a chance to make a profit.

Trading does not need time and can be done through bots, so there is no need for you to stay in front of the screen all day, simply you can do something else and this thing may be a full time job.
I agree, it's not time strict and that's why you can just set buy and sell orders if you want to while you're at work or wherever you're doing busy things.

in any case, i would suggest not to leave his job, as he has regular income from that job. trading won't give an assurance of profits. as he is still new in this market, he will suffer losses from time to time. not yet a good time to go full time. just make this trading a side job for him and if he thinks he's already gained a lot of tricks that he can make a living out of it, then try it first. but leaving the stable job is not advisable to do so.
we also don't know if he is indeed own the site but the best thing to do is not leave the job at the moment.
The market is very unpredictable, even if he is a professional trader, there is no guarantee that he will always win or will always make a profit for a long time. So not only to the OP, but I wouldn't advise anyone to give up a steady job to spend full-time trading, trading should just be a side job to increase income. One source of income has never been better and safer when you have multiple sources of income.

He's still a newbie to the forum, we don't have to be too harsh on him.

I believe in long term investment than scalping or day trading. Because that will make a huge profit with a highest return. But scalping always don't work properly and it needs to do more
technical analysis.
Ive also doing this. Having a job might be quite busy sometime and trading or scalping might contradict on your mental health. Doing a buy low sell high long term goal is much relaxing than that for me.

If you are gonna do full trading then focus, drop your job and do that. But for part timers its highly not advisable. So better be firm when deciding.

I think never have any one here success trading cryptocurrency without any loss yet, but they can recovering with how much their loss and get profit back later.  I have full time with online working and trading is main job although right now have floating with my altcoin price still drop and waiting until price going up later. Several people make trading cryptocurrency as side job because have real job in daily day and use free time for trading in cryptocurrency.

I think everyone can do two things apart from their main job, but trading can be used as a side job, even if it's not full time online, depending with us how time controlling when trading at cryptocurrency.

It's going to take time until someone who just learned how to trade to leave his current job. I've seen people that have been too overwhelmed when they've made such profits during the bull run. They're not yet experts and professionals but due to the market condition, they've made a lot and thanks to the bull run. Some of them resigned because they thought that it's going to be forever that the condition of market is good but they're wrong with that. That's the total risk there, they've been new and then witnessed the bull market and thought that it would last long.

Does anyone here day trade crypto successfully whilst working a full time job? I have medium experience with trading crypto and over the last few weeks have been mainly using the TradingView scalping indicator from https://cryptochiefs.io with good results. The problem is that I find it really difficult to manage the trades properly whilst working as they move fast any normally require that I am watching the screen. Kind of thinking I either need to forget about the idea or scale up from where I am and go full time. Those of you with normal jobs, are you day trading or mainly long term crypto investors/ HODLers?!!
If you need to keep on looking at the trade screen while working, and trading isn't your "main/primary" job, then you better not focus on trading. You might end up losing your main job due to being inefficient or making frequent mistakes. Moreover, I don't think so you are allowed to trade from your office using company equipment. They would be able to fire you and if they feel like being an a-hole, they can literally claim everything you earned while working at the company time. Not worth the risk.

I’ve never heard of that exchange so I assume this is some sort of advertisement for it… Anyway, I don’t think it’s a good idea to trade at all regardless if you’re at work or not. Sure, losing money while making it is probably better than losing money at home, but don’t fool yourself, you’ll lose money like all other traders. Be an investor and build a portfolio instead of enriching an exchange to take your money.

Doing trading while at the same time having a day job is not that easy to fulfill.

While others can commit both 100%, not all people have the ability to do both at the same time. I'm really amazed at those people who can do that multi-tasking jobs as both trading and day jobs are really stressful.

With seriousness and eagerness to learn, others find the best way how to do both at the same time while still being responsible for their usual tasks outside the web.

You wouldn’t have to be always in front of the computer because it will just read for you as long as you have set it up correctly and then waiting for the market to move the corresponding movements.

Im not saying im a good trader but somewhat my profits is much more than with my losses which does simply means that i could at least get some extra income with it and its not really that something that could affect my

job too.I do have an 8-5 job and i do snip out with some swing trades in  8-9pm everyday or even when im work which i do monitor and snip out and make out positions if ever i do see some opportunity to get in.

Its not really that something bad aslong you could able to handle it out.Its just a matter of good time management on what you are doing, so that you could handle if ever you are decided to have both.

If you have a full time job you can't make a decent profit when trading but instead try to buy and sell or just invest and wait for the right time to sell. Trading is just like a job but it depends on what strategy you are using to make profit and having a full time job may hinder your ability to make profit but you are making money by doing your full time job although, the difference only is the money you are making compared to when you are trading.

Having a day job and doing trade is good. When one is into full time job and looks for profit out of trading it is an easy thing to be done. Because, the day job brings regular money and with trading it is possible to make small revenue that can help in shaping the life.

When trading is done addition to the day job one can set a price and leave it. The execution of the trade can take little time whereas daily traders need to be observing closely.

It was not really I called myself a successful trader for I'm not doing it full time as I was giving more time in my job than doing this. But yes, it still doing well. As we are in this situation, we have to manage our time wisely as trading needs focus and I would suggest just trading if you have ample of time to set in front of your computer, during a break, or on a day off. The longer time you spend on the market can give you a way to analyze the movement of the market which is a huge advantage.

Does anyone here day trade crypto successfully whilst working a full time job?
Yes, I was previously a day trader and I had a full-time job and things were going well. I just put pending orders and leave the screen and go back to my job. You just have to organize your time and to develop your trading plan and the currency pairs that you will trade and your strategy and allocate some of your rest time to monitoring your trades. The matter only takes a few minutes of certainty that you will not spend the whole day looking at the screen or searching for opportunities and looking at the chart and your orders and deals. For me, it did not take long, and of course, the situation of each person differs from the other and differs from one job to another, only with time you will adapt between your full job and your daily trading. You should know that a good trader does not exaggerate in trading and entering deals. He waits and waits.

If you really want and like to do trading even with a full-time job, I suggest you do long-term trading/Hodling as that didn't need your full time, because you had to go and check the trades whenever you want to check, but in day trading, you must have to give some time, unless you are going in a well-deserved way.

As for laying off a job, it depends on variables such as your age, do you have a family, your country, standard of living, and your capital.
For example, 100 dollars is considered the average price in one country and is not enough for you for a day in another country. Therefore, the return from daily trading will be easy because you collect 100 dollars a month, and it is impossible to collect it daily (in the normal situation).

It's easier to be chill and be an investor and then trade when it's necessary to take profits. You don't have to fully invest all of your time watching the charts. Watch it when you've got time and prepare your plans beforehand. If you're having a hard time doing two things at the same time then take one step at a time so that you won't be confused. Trading won't require you to do it and become a day trader, you can buy right now and wait until it gives you profit or the price goes up, it may take a couple of days or weeks, or months and from there, it's up to you whether you're obliged to do it daily. Do the strategy that works for you.

Trading is tasking and combining it with a full-time job will be more tasking. If there is anyone able to do that, it must be that his/her job is not very demanding, in other words, he/she has a lot of free time to burn on the job, and he might as well utilize that time trading.
I think for you to be really successful in trading, it is better to be fully committed, that is making it a full-time job with no distractions.

I tried scalping, but the profit there is very small, and sometimes the time spent on it does not pay off. I think that over time you will increase the trading interval, because it is very tiring. Sometimes a simple hodling brings much more profit than various trading strategies, but most people do not have the patience to buy and do nothing.

I have a very normal job so to trade it as a side in the spare time that I have I can't do this for both because the mind is never going to focus the rest of the time I'm more of a long term investor.
When there is good trading potential, I usually take the time but this is not what I do daily because the time will be divided in a bad way so I can't say trading and work are equated at the same time.

I think you have to do one thing at a time. Or separate these things so that they don't conflict with each other. For example, you can work at your main job and trade during one of the sessions that happens outside of working hours, such as the Asian or American trading sessions. If you try to trade during working hours, it will have a negative effect on your work and your deposit, because trading requires a lot of attention and cold-bloodedness.

I think trading is manageable with full time job because you don't need to sit in front of computer screen  if you are long term investors or swing trader. Swing trading is different from day trading, in swing trading , we mostly use technical chart on weekly time frame. I usually use support and resistance chart and set my limit orders accordingly. Once your order is executed, you will get alert from exchange and you can set new order whenever you are free.

If you have a job and a steady income then you should trade in your free time and not conflict with your job. Or you can become an investor who holds coins in the long term that will be very helpful in my opinion. Because it is not easy to divide your time when you have obligations to the company where you work. Do not let things like this make your obligations neglected. I'm sure if you can manage your time well, then you can trade without having to disturb your work and rest time. If you get 2 days off a week you can use a day off to start trading. And I must remind you, you also have to set the time for how long you will trade, don't let your rest time be disturbed too.

I am a day trader and also a worker in a company, maybe here I will start with tips to be more effective at working and trading crypto. the most basic thing here is time management, for example, you use your time to work for 8 full hours a day from 08.00 am to 3.00 pm. of course there will be time for you to trade at night before you sleep, for example from 20:00-22:00 this is far more effective when compared to trading together with doing work that is your priority income.

It depends on what kind of job you're doing and how much you're trading everyday. Basically you can't assume anything with weeks of experience alone so better focus on your job than day trading.

You can let the bot to help you in certain cases if you think you're having good strategies to make money or just go for short term trading like only doing on weekends or just put the order and let it to execute on your desired price instead of doing so much effort which can be certainly exhaustive over the period of time.

If you have a full time job, then you're better off just trading on the side. Take the time out of your day to look over charts and analyze the market so you can develop a strategy, but then go back to your normal job. You don't have to trade every day, but at least set aside a few minutes each day to keep an eye on the market and make sure you're not missing out on a big opportunity. It all depends on how much time you have and how much money you want to put into it. Start with small amounts of money and work up to larger amounts.

Im a day trading but i were not doing it regularly. I just try to buy at the bottom and waiting until my sell orders will be eaten once the pump will be coming out. The day for trading signal has gone and i never used the trading signal. I just do it by myself. Mostly of trading signals were scam but i have a question about that. Was it a mandatory mentioning your trading signal here?

It's better if you can do it by yourself but it seems like that you are not feeling worried to be scammed by the trading signal caused by mostly of trading signal was foolowing their followers by giving opposite signal.

I thought that if trading signal already gone lol.
