Many friends often ask me, how can I seize opportunities in the crypto world? How can I make steady profits instead of frequently getting liquidated?
To be honest, the method I currently use is actually very simple. It’s precisely because it’s simple that it has allowed me to survive. Over these 8 years, I’ve stepped on enough pits to gradually understand these seemingly simple yet truly profitable principles.
**For selecting coins, I start with the top gainers list**
The logic is straightforward—only coins that have already risen are active in the market and have subsequent opportunities. Why would you go for a coin that has never moved?
Next, I look at the monthly MACD. When it shows a golden cross, I enter; if not, I stay in cash. Short-term K-line fluctuations are just noise. The real profit opportunities are in the long-term trend. Don’t be fooled by oversold rebounds; low-probability gambles often lead to losses.
**The 60-day moving average is my daily weather vane**
If the coin’s price drops close to the 60-day line and the trading volume significantly increases, I dare to add to my position. This requires patience and confidence. The market will give opportunities; wait for the signal before acting. If no signal appears, keep waiting.
After entering, I never fight the trend. If the price rises, I hold; if it breaks below the line, I exit immediately. Many people make the mistake of trying to gamble on a rebound here, which turns profits into losses.
**Take profits with rhythm**
Don’t try to take all the gains at once. My approach is to cut half of the position when I gain 30%, and then cut another half at 50%. The market is always changing. If you miss a wave, don’t panic; opportunities will come again.
**And most importantly—if it breaks below the 60-day line, you must exit**
I apply this rule to every trade, regardless of how long you’ve held the position or how reluctant you are. If it breaks below, just exit—no buts. Don’t fight the market, don’t gamble with greed. This bottom-line rule is key to protecting your principal.
The simpler you keep your crypto trading, the easier it is to survive. Don’t dream of a big turnaround overnight. Those who truly make money do so by repeatedly following discipline and managing their emotions well. These lessons are learned at the cost of losses. The crypto world will treat obedient traders kindly, but it will also harshly punish those who don’t understand the rules.

Exactly right, but executing this set of strategies is too difficult. That day, I just couldn't bring myself to break below the 60-day moving average, and guess what happened...

Talking about strategy on paper is easy; actually investing real money and realizing your true worth is the real test.
Breaking below the 60-day moving average and then running away—it's easy to say, but hard to do. Greed is the biggest killer in the crypto world.
Waiting for the monthly moving average to turn bullish before taking action? That's too conservative, but it seems like everyone who has survived until now has been doing just that.
Taking profits gradually and cutting positions indeed curbs my insatiable greed.
Simple and straightforward rules are actually the best way to survive; complex strategies just give yourself excuses to lose money.
All the good advice sounds like hindsight, and those who can strictly enforce discipline are rare in the crypto circle.
Coins that are on the gainers list are often already on the rise. Entering at this point carries less risk, but it also means the returns won't be as crazy.

That's right, discipline is key; it's the rule of survival.
Breaking below the 60-day moving average really leaves no room for hesitation. I was reluctant before, and ended up losing even more.
Cutting at 30%—I need to learn this rhythm, don't always try to eat it all at once.
The crypto world is a test of human nature; greed is truly the number one killer.
This method is simple in theory, but only those who have been doing it this way have made it this far.
It looks simple, but when it comes to execution, you realize how difficult it really is.

Basically, it's a mindset issue. I used to watch the market every day and get cut, but now following the 60-day moving average has actually made me more stable.
The 60-day moving average is indeed decisive; if it breaks below, just exit, there's no need to hesitate.
It sounds simple, but in practice, it really requires restraint from greed, I have to admit.
Entering after a monthly golden cross is much more rational than chasing every rise daily.
Taking profits gradually and cutting positions in parts is indeed smart; going all in at once can easily trap you.
Discipline determines life and death, and I now believe in this.

The 60-day moving average is really a good friend; I've survived until now relying on this line.
Break below and run, it sounds simple but how many times does it hurt to actually execute?
That's right, the biggest fear in the crypto world is betting against yourself.
This method is indeed simple, but simplicity is ultimately the key to survival.
Take profits in batches; it sounds simple but truly tests human nature.
After 8 years of pitfalls, I've learned this, and it's worth remembering well.

If the 60-day moving average breaks, just run. It sounds simple, but it's really hard to do. So, how strong does your mindset need to be?

Sounds good, but I still think the 60-day moving average system is a bit lagging... Recently, it only reacts after the price breaks below, and the blood has already been shed.
