Having been in the crypto space for 8 years, I have built an account size of 5 million through losses and lessons. Many people ask me if I’m lucky; in fact, every penny was earned through countless lessons from liquidation. The current trading logic may seem simple and crude, but it’s this "great simplicity" approach that allows me to make money quietly.

Many friends often ask me how to choose coins and how to trade. To be honest, I’ve studied complex strategies too, but I found that those flashy techniques are often the main cause of losses. Below are some hardcore logics that can be applied:

**1. Start from the Top Gainers List**

The first step in choosing coins is not to try randomly, but to look directly at the top gainers list. Only coins that have increased show market attention, which means there are opportunities for operation later. Coins that haven’t moved for a long time are basically losing money if bought, unless you plan to hold long-term. The gainers list reflects popularity, and popularity means liquidity — a prerequisite for making money.

**2. Monthly MACD is the Commander’s Baton**

Don’t focus on the daily K-line to guess back and forth; that can easily drive you crazy with intraday volatility. The MACD on the monthly level is more meaningful. When a golden cross forms, decisively build a position; if there’s no golden cross yet, stay in cash and wait patiently. Short-term fluctuations are noise; what truly determines your account’s profit and loss is the medium-term trend. Rebounds chasing highs or overselling usually don’t end well.

**3. The 60-Day Moving Average is a Signal to Add Positions**

I treat the 60-day moving average as the "wealth line." When the price retraces near the 70-day moving average and volume starts to increase, it’s the best time to add positions. You don’t need all signals to align perfectly; the market will give opportunities. When you see a good setup, dare to act; if not, keep waiting. This approach helps optimize your cost basis.

**4. Enter and Exit with Rhythm**

Don’t drag your feet after building a position. Hold as long as it’s rising. Once it breaks a key support level, exit immediately. I’ve seen too many people reluctant to sell, daydreaming about a "rebound," only to turn profitable trades into huge losses. The key to stop-loss is execution, not judgment.

**5. Take Profits in Batches**

Greed is the biggest poison in trading. When your position gains 30%, cut half to lock in profits. When it reaches 50%, cut the remaining half. Market changes are too fast; if you miss this wave, there will be another. Instead of dreaming of a big turnaround, focus on doing each trade well.

**6. The 70-Day Line is an Iron Law**

This is my strict discipline — I follow it for every trade. No matter how long I hold a position, if it falls below the 70-day moving average, I must clear the position. Don’t fight the market, don’t gamble with real money on "bottom rebounds." This rule isn’t about maximizing profit but about surviving the longest. In crypto, survival is more important than making money.

The real logic of making money in crypto is quite brutal: Discipline > Skills, Emotional Control > Market Prediction. Don’t believe in those "miraculous reversals" stories; those people have long been liquidated. Strictly follow the rules, keep your mindset in check, and wealth will come naturally. I’ve used these methods for years, each proven in practice. The crypto market won’t always make you comfortable, but if you understand the rules, the market will reward you.
