Making money in the crypto world may seem complicated, but the core is just a few tricks. Someone has genuinely earned 2 million using this method, and the key is not intelligence but disciplined execution.



First, learn to read the subtle clues on the chart. When the market crashes sharply but your coins only dip slightly? That’s a clear signal—indicating funds are supporting the market. Coins like these are often worth holding with confidence, as surprises are likely to follow. Conversely, coins that follow the decline should be approached with caution.

There is a practical rule for short-term trading: watch the 5-day moving average. Hold the position as long as the price stays above it; sell if it breaks below. The same logic applies for mid-term trading, just replace the 5-day with the 20-day moving average. It sounds simple, but execution requires discipline because people are most prone to wavering amid volatility. Sticking to rules that suit you will gradually show results.

The main upward wave is a good opportunity. If the market starts but no massive volume is released, that’s a sign to buy decisively. Afterwards, if volume increases and prices rise, keep holding; if volume shrinks but the trend remains intact, don’t sell; if volume surges downward and breaks the trend line, it’s time to reduce your position. The key here is "trend"—many people overlook it.

Short-term trading emphasizes quick in and out. If there’s no significant movement within three days after buying, consider selling—don’t wait. If the price drops, cut losses at 5% without hesitation; don’t argue with yourself. This may seem cold-blooded, but it’s a necessary way to protect your capital.

Oversold rebounds often hide opportunities. If a coin drops 50% from its high and continues to fall for 8 days, it’s basically in an oversold zone. A rebound could start at any time, so consider testing with a small amount—don’t go all in.

When choosing coins, the leading coin is always worth paying close attention to. The characteristics of a leader coin are the fastest gains and strongest resilience to declines. Many mistakenly buy after big drops or avoid after big rises. The strategy for leader coins is actually the opposite: buy at high levels, sell at even higher levels, leveraging liquidity and popularity advantages.

Trading is fundamentally about following the trend. The purchase price isn’t about being as low as possible, but about being the right fit. Many people don’t understand this. Don’t rush to buy the dip during a decline; abandon weak coins and focus on assets with clear trends. Trend is king—going against it can be very costly.

The real challenge is sustained profitability. Making money once is easy to get excited about, but to keep earning consistently, you need a system. Review every trade, distinguish whether it was luck or skill. Gradually accumulate experience and build your own stable trading logic—this is the foundation for long-term profits.

One last point is crucial: don’t force trades without full confidence; holding cash is also a strategy. Many fear missing opportunities and trade frequently, which often leads to losses. The primary goal of trading is capital preservation; profit is secondary. It’s not about how many trades you make, but about your success rate.

That's so true. Discipline is really the key to making money, not some advanced skills. Honestly, I’ve fallen into the trap of the 5% stop-loss rule countless times before realizing that mindset is truly the biggest enemy. I agree with the logic of buying high when the leading coin is at a high level, but most people simply can't do it; they always feel it's too expensive. I need to screenshot and send this strategy of holding no position to my friend. I really can't stand how he manages his proportions. There's no question that "trend is king." Going against it indeed comes with huge costs; last year was a bloody lesson. Reviewing your trades is really important. Every time, you have to ask yourself whether you were lucky or truly understood, only then can you make money in the long run. It feels like telling others not to mess around. Find your own rhythm and stick to it—that's the hardest part.

Once again, it's this "execution discipline theory" that’s making my ears calloused. Did that guy with 2 million really get rich, or is it just paper wealth? We need to calculate ROI; otherwise, it’s almost like talking in your sleep. Following the trend sounds easy to say, but the problem is everyone knows to follow the trend, yet no one can hit the exact point. This is completely a post-hoc genius performance, like Da Vinci painting eggs—sounds simple, but it’s all blood, sweat, and tears in practice. Buying the leading coin at a high position and selling at an even higher? Brother, this logic in a bear market is just Schrödinger’s bull market—both profit and loss can be explained away. The words "liquidity" and "hotness" are packaged so beautifully, but in reality, it’s just gambling on the next fool to take the bait. As for that 2 million, I suggest using it to buy some real art at an art gallery—at least it won’t be wiped out in 3 days.

There's nothing wrong with that; discipline in execution is truly a watershed moment. Most people get stuck in frequent trading. The statement "Holding a cash position is also a strategy" gets a full score. How many people miss out and buy the dip only to lose everything? Buying the leading coin at a high position and selling at an even higher position is indeed counterintuitive, but liquidity is right there, to put it plainly. A 5% stop loss sounds harsh, but in reality, it's just protecting your principal. Many people fail to understand this. When the trend breaks, reduce your position—simple and clear. Why are some still stubbornly holding on? That guy with 2 million probably just fully understands these rules. It's not some black technology; it's discipline.

Sounds good, but how many actually do it? I've seen too many people crash here with the 3-day rule; once their mindset collapses, it's all over.

Sounds good, but how many can truly stick with it? Just looking at the 5-day and 20-day moving averages gives me a headache.

That's right, discipline is the true core, but 99% of people just can't do it.

That's right, it's a matter of discipline. Seemingly simple rules can't be executed, and that's pointless. --- The signal to support the market is definitely worth paying attention to; many people simply can't see it. --- I've tried the 5-day and 20-day moving averages for three months, and it really works. The key is not to be stingy about a few points. --- The logic of buying the leading coin at a high position is indeed interesting; it's different from most people's thinking. --- The most painful part is the 5% stop loss. I just couldn't sell, which led to being trapped. Now I see that I was really fighting myself. --- I agree with the idea of testing a rebound after an oversold condition, but the premise is to recognize whether it's truly oversold or not—don't deceive yourself. --- Holding no position is also a strategy. I need to keep this in mind; missing one opportunity is better than multiple losses. --- Consistent profitability is indeed difficult. Many people make money in a month, but few do so in a year. My review process isn't solid enough. --- Trend is king. Going against it can be really costly; I've stepped on too many mines.

This theory sounds quite plausible, but the number of people who can actually implement it is pitifully few. I've seen too many people who know they should cut losses, only to turn around and chase gains or sell in panic.

Honestly, discipline is much more important than intelligence. These past two years, I’ve been ruined by my own greed.
