The ones who truly last long in the crypto world are often not those who talk about tracks and hype the ecosystem all day long.

I know an old friend who used to run freight transportation, and he was even a bit confused when looking at K-line charts. Now his account has a seven-figure balance, and he’s living a more comfortable life than most self-media analysts.

When I asked him for his secret during a chat, his answer was just two words: discipline.

His trading method looks a bit rough at first glance—he only focuses on three coins: BTC, ETH, BNB. He doesn’t touch any others, no matter how hot they are. His entry conditions are ridiculously simple: only buy if the weekly chart has closed above the 60-week moving average for two consecutive weeks; if not, he doesn’t consider it.

After entering, he watches one indicator: trading volume. If the volume is not less than 50% of the recent average volume, he continues to hold. If the volume shrinks and the price drops, he decisively reduces his position.

The exit logic is even more straightforward. Take profits of 30%, then sell half; take profits of 60%, then sell half again; if the remaining position falls below the moving average during that week, he clears everything. He says his biggest fear isn’t missing opportunities but running out of capital. As long as the weekly closing price falls below the 60-week moving average, he will definitely close all positions at the next week’s open, with no exceptions.

This method may seem not very sexy, even a bit stupid. But in the crypto world, those who get eliminated are never the fools, but those who think they can beat the market and end up going all-in, losing their capital.

Maybe you’re already tired, exhausted by the psychological torment of chasing gains and cutting losses. In that case, why not try a different perspective: instead of thinking about how to become smarter, think about how to become more disciplined.
