To You Who Are Still Losing Money

In the crypto market over these years, staying up at 4 a.m. to monitor the charts is normal, and I’ve also experienced the despair of positions going completely to zero. The feeling of floating losses in the seven figures is even more painful. But what ultimately kept me alive and enabled me to withdraw stable monthly profits was actually a somewhat "silly-sounding" trading logic: only look at the daily chart, one moving average, three standard actions. What I share today are all practical insights, with no tricks involved.

**Step 1: Choosing Coins — Do Your Homework and Win Half the Battle**

I rarely chase hot trends, and I definitely don’t believe in the legend of 100x coins. Every day, I do one thing: open the daily chart, scan for coins where the MACD has generated a golden cross, especially those where the cross occurs above the zero line.

Why the daily chart? The hourly and minute charts are just market noise. Retail traders are easily fooled by short-term fluctuations. Only the daily chart can reveal the true market trend and filter out false breakouts.

Take a certain leading privacy coin as an example. Recently, after the daily MACD formed a golden cross above zero, it directly surged by 50%. Meanwhile, those shouting "minute-level buy points" all got shaken out during the washout.

Core principles:
- Only trade mainstream coins (BTC, ETH, BNB at this level). Even if small coins are hot, avoid them — low liquidity makes it easy for whales to target and blow up the position.
- A golden cross must be accompanied by increased trading volume. Any golden cross signal without volume support is fake.

**Step 2: Building Positions — Layered Sniping Is Smarter Than Going All In**

Many people see a breakout and go all-in, only to be trapped in the middle of the move. My approach is different: as long as the price stabilizes above the daily moving average and volume continues to strengthen above the average volume, I start to buy in stages.

具体操作：
- First successful breakout above the daily moving average: invest 30% of the total position.
- If the price pulls back but doesn’t break the moving average: add another 40%.
- As volume accelerates upward afterward: fill the remaining 30%.

This method is called "Moving Average Guard" — hold as long as the price stays above the moving average, and exit immediately if it falls below. This helps avoid many unnecessary losses.

**Step 3: Management — Staying Alive Is More Important Than Making Fast Money**

Crypto markets are highly volatile. Managing your mindset is more critical than technical analysis. After setting your stop-loss, don’t keep checking the minute charts to torment yourself. Let your positions breathe and give your trades time to ferment.

This logic isn’t fancy, but it can help you survive in long-term trading — and that’s what matters most.
