Why do some people have a smooth ride in the contract market, while you always buy at the top and sell at the bottom? Honestly, it all comes down to one thing—you don't have a trading plan and rely solely on feelings to make random moves.
Having been in the crypto world for so many years, entering at 27 and now being 35, my deepest realization is: those who consistently make money never rely on luck; they depend on discipline and systems. Achieving an eight-figure account in 24 to 25 years is thanks to this "simple method" that saved me. Instead of hiding it, it's better to fully share it once and for all.
First, let's talk about capital allocation. Divide your principal into 5 parts, and always only use 1/5 to enter a position. It sounds conservative, but this is the secret to longevity—set a stop loss at 10 points, and risk only 2% of your total capital per mistake. Even if you make 5 wrong moves in a row, you only lose 10%. Conversely, set take profit at least 10 points from the start, so you won't get trapped. It sounds simple, but few people can stick to it.
The second key point is two words: trend following. There's a lot to learn here. Every rebound in a downtrend is a trap to lure you into a short position; the real opportunity lies in pullbacks during an uptrend. Those who say bottom fishing is easy money are mistaken—buying low is the real king's way. It may not sound very sexy, but the survival rate is high.
Never chase coins that surge short-term, whether mainstream or altcoins. The common feature of these coins is that after a crazy rise, they rarely go higher; at high levels, they stagnate and start to decline. Don't hold a "bet it all" mentality and rush in. Such thinking in the contract market is suicidal.
On the technical side, using MACD to determine entry and exit points is the most reliable. When DIF and DEA form a golden cross below the zero line and break above zero, it's a very reliable signal to enter; when a death cross appears above zero, it's time to reduce your position.
Volume-price relationship is the most important thing in the crypto world, bar none. Watch closely when there's a volume breakout after consolidation at low levels; at high levels, if volume stagnates, you must decisively exit—don't overthink it.
When choosing coins, focus on those in an uptrend; this gives the highest win rate and saves time. If the 3-day moving average is rising, it's a short-term bullish sign; if the 30-day is rising, there's medium-term potential; if the 84-day is rising, that's a sign of a main upward wave; and if the 120-day is rising, it indicates a long-term trend is established.
Finally, a very important point: review your trades weekly. Check whether your current logic still holds, see if the weekly chart aligns with your strategy, and whether the overall trend has changed. Adjust your strategy accordingly. This habit can save you countless times.
If you still don't quite understand this method now, that's okay. The key is to actively learn and practice yourself—markets will always give opportunities to those who prepare.

There's nothing wrong with that; it's useless to have more methods if people lack execution.

All talk is just armchair strategizing; how many actually stick with it?

That's right, the problem is the lack of discipline leading to huge losses. I used to have this issue.
I found that I am most easily broken when it comes to stop-losses, always thinking I can hold on a little longer, but in the end, I couldn't.
I'm using the MACD strategy, but honestly, the hardest part to execute is selling when volume increases at high levels and the price stagnates. I still tend to be greedy.
Weekly reviews have really saved me; sticking to them for two months helped stabilize my account.
The key is to admit that I am prone to gambling and need a system to restrain myself.
Seeing your eight-figure amount, it’s clear you’ve really maintained discipline. I’ll start by just surviving longer.

Haha, it's that MACD theory again. It sounds good, but we all know deep down that those who truly make eight figures rely on something else.

Damn, a 10-point stop loss is really tough. Last time, I held on until it hit 30 points before selling...
