The secret to making money in the crypto world has never been in the hands of those who rely on luck. Instead of aimlessly chasing hot trends, it’s better to steer precisely like a helmsman—this is the true path to profit.

Many people stumble because of blind trading at the open. Going in without checking the rise and fall rankings? That’s like sailing without checking the weather forecast—being overturned by market waves is only a matter of time. My habit is to do the first thing every day at market open: review the recent two-week gain/loss rankings, focusing on those coins with suddenly increased volume and price. Quiet, obscure coins, no matter how exciting their stories, I don’t touch—only when the main funds are actively stirring inside will opportunities surface.

When it comes to catching trends, many get caught up in the fluctuations of the daily K-line. The noise on the daily chart is just that—noise. The real big waves are hidden in the monthly chart. When the monthly MACD forms a golden cross, it’s like a large machine starting its engine—at this moment, following the trend is not gambling, but riding the wave.

The 60-day moving average is the most critical support level in my trading. As long as the price pulls back to the 60-day line and trading volume clearly increases, I decisively add to my position. This entry point offers a reasonable cost and solid support, making me feel secure even if I hold overnight.

Profitability depends on method; safeguarding gains relies on disciplined execution. Once the price breaks below the 60-day line, I close all positions immediately—no exceptions, no excuses. No matter how much profit was made earlier, it can’t protect you once the lifeline is broken; you must exit.

The rules for taking profits are equally strict: take half off when floating gains reach 30%; when gains hit 50%, sell the other half to lock in profits; the remaining position is entirely driven by profits, and this mindset makes you more calm—no longer hostage to short-term fluctuations.

This method isn’t complicated; the key is whether you have the resolve to execute it. If you want to turn the tide in the crypto market, start by changing your trading discipline.
