Cryptocurrency may seem complicated, but it's actually just one principle—if you have the right method, making money isn't that hard.
My day always starts with checking the gainers and losers list. Ignoring the market is like going out without checking the weather forecast—you'll get hit sooner or later. But truly worth paying attention to are those coins that have recently experienced intense volatility; when volume and price suddenly become active, that's the real opportunity. Not enough funds? No matter how advanced your techniques are, don’t force it.
The key is to identify the direction of the main capital flow and ride their coattails. Whether it's ETH, ZEC, or ZKP, the logic is the same.
Many people ask me how to judge the direction. Actually, I hardly "guess"—the monthly chart is enough. Short-term fluctuations? That's just market noise, not worth wasting energy on. The real opportunities are hidden in the larger cycles. When I see the MACD golden cross on the monthly chart, I know funds are entering. Smart traders know that following the trend is the way to go.
My entry logic is also very simple: the 60-day moving average. Once the trend is established, if the price pulls back to the 60-day MA and volume expands, that's the best entry point. Costs are manageable, support levels are clear—only then can I have confidence in my trades.
But the biggest test is never buying, but how to sell.
The rule is straightforward: if the price falls below the 60-day MA, exit immediately. No explanations, no delays, not even a millisecond of hesitation. Soft-hearted once, and all the profits you've made so far will be lost. Such lessons can only be learned once.
Got unrealized gains? When the price rises to a certain level, take profits in batches, and let the rest run on its own. With a lighter position, your mindset naturally stays steady as a rock.
Some say this method is too mechanical and not flexible enough. But my experience is that "mechanical" is actually the most stable way to make money. In the crypto world, those who stick to a system make profits; those relying on intuition only pay tuition. The market changes, but your rules must stay the same. Only focus on clear trends, protect your positions, and maintain discipline—then the market won't be too cruel.

Holding the 60-day moving average firmly, otherwise it's a suicidal move. I've relied on this line to seize countless arbitrage opportunities.

Well said, but it still feels like it largely depends on luck.
Both the 60-day moving average and the monthly chart look profitable when backtested with historical data, but actual trading is a different story.
I think the key is still position management, and that's correct.
Being soft-hearted is a common problem in the crypto world, there's nothing you can do about it.

The 60-day moving average is indeed useful, but I still trust the monthly chart more; short-term noise is too much.
Being soft-hearted is the most expensive; one lesson can wipe out three months of gains.
Mechanical trading sounds boring, but making money is just that dull.
No matter how good the words are, you need to look at your account; otherwise, it's all just armchair strategizing.
It's really hard to see the main force's direction clearly; sticking to your own rules is more reliable.
That wave in June with the 60-day moving average really saved me; otherwise, I would still be trapped.
This logic works well for the market, but in a volatile market, it's easy to get repeatedly cut.
It sounds simple, but sticking to it is even harder than climbing to the sky; most people can't hold on for more than three months.

Breaking below the 60-day moving average and then running away—it's easy to say, but really doing it is difficult.
Being too soft-hearted will really make you give up profits; I have firsthand experience with this.
Entering the market when the monthly line crosses upward? I've tried it, but I still get caught in a trap easily.
Mechanical trading sounds stable, but in reality, the market isn't that simple.
Following the trend is correct, but how do you determine the main direction?
I need to learn this trick of taking profits in batches; you can't go all in at once.
