Loneliness is often the moment when your holdings are the heaviest. I have also explored this market alone for a long time, stumbling many times, until I finally found a relatively reliable method. Now I want to share this approach with you, hoping to help you avoid some detours.

To be honest, over the years of trading, I have tried all kinds of flashy things—various indicators, different cycles, multiple trading signals. But in the end, what can consistently produce results and is still in use today is actually a very simple framework. Last year, I achieved eight-figure returns with this method, but if you ask what it relies on—it's not luck, but disciplined execution.

There are only four key steps: selecting coins, entering the market, managing positions, and exiting. It sounds simple, but each step has very strict requirements.

**First, how to select coins**

This step is actually not complicated. Add coins that have appeared on the gainers list in the past 11 days to your watchlist, but with one strict condition—if a coin has fallen for more than 3 consecutive days during this period, exclude it directly. What does this kind of trend usually indicate? The main funds have quietly taken profits and exited. Entering at this point carries a risk far greater than the opportunity.

**Next, confirm the overall trend**

Open the monthly chart and look at only one thing: whether the MACD has a golden cross upward. If there is no golden cross, don’t chase even if it looks attractive. This is the baseline. Many people like to chase in a hot short-term market, but when the larger cycle turns, they get slapped in the face. When the trend hasn't truly emerged, short-term strength is unreliable.

**Third, wait for the buy point**

Switch to the daily chart and focus on the 60-day moving average. When the price retraces near the 60-day MA and shows signs of volume increase or stabilization, then consider taking action. Note, it’s waiting for a retracement to give you an opportunity, not chasing the rally. Chasing the rally is a habit to break.

**Finally, selling and risk control**

Once you enter, the 60-day moving average becomes your lifeline. If the price stays above it, hold; if it falls below, exit immediately. How to operate specifically? In three stages: when the gain exceeds 30%, sell one-third to lock in some profits; when it reaches 50%, sell another third; if something unexpected happens the next day after entry and the price breaks below the 60-day MA, don’t hesitate—sell everything, no matter what, don’t hold onto any luck.

In practice, using this combination of monthly and daily charts, breaches of the moving average are not frequent. But risk control must always come first—that’s the prerequisite for longevity.

In the crypto market, the most important thing is not how fast you make money, but how well you protect your principal. As long as the market conditions meet the criteria, you can re-enter at any time. History doesn’t repeat exactly, but it often rhymes.

Ultimately, making money isn’t hard because of the method itself; it’s hard because of sticking to the method. The market is constantly changing, and those who stubbornly hold on will eventually be eliminated. Learning to adjust with the rhythm is the key to surviving longer in this market. Head tokens like $BNB follow the same logic, and the methodology can be applied universally.
