#数字资产市场动态 Over the years surviving in the crypto market, I’ve discovered an interesting phenomenon — the simpler the method, the more effective it is.



In plain terms, the price movements of coins seem unpredictable, but at the core, they follow four rules: trend, inertia, mean reversion, and repetition. Master these four, and that’s enough.

My approach is straightforward:

**First, one moving average determines life or death.** I only focus on one long-term moving average; everything else is noise. If the price is above the moving average? I only consider long positions. If the price is below? I only consider short positions. I don’t predict the market; I follow it. That’s it.

**Second, wait for the price to come back before entering.** No matter how strong the trend, it won’t go straight up or down forever; there will be pullbacks. That’s the opportunity. I patiently wait for the price to approach the moving average, open a position at a reasonable deviation, and set my stop-loss at a clear support level in front. Small bets to test the waters, aiming to catch the trend as it continues.

**Then, let the inertia of the trend run profits.** After entering a position, the most important thing is — control your hands. As long as the trend isn’t broken in the opposite direction and the pullback doesn’t hit the stop-loss, hold on tightly. Market profits come from time and trend running together, not from frequent trading.

**Finally, repeat doing the right things.** Every profit I make, I set aside part of it as a “profit cushion” to support the next trade. Let the money earned keep earning, instead of constantly dipping into the principal. Profit is essentially repeatedly doing the right operations.

When the price returns to the moving average and momentum begins to fade, decisively close the position and walk away — don’t chase that last candle.

This method isn’t fancy, but it keeps me mostly clear about what I’m doing. Making money never requires chasing every wave; just stick to your own trend and keep repeating the right actions.

Exactly right, you must stick to the moving averages and not overthink it. Controlling your hands is the hardest part; I always lose when I tinker too often. Repeating the right actions really hit home for me—making money isn't that complicated. It looks simple but actually tests human nature the most; those who can stick to this method are really making money. The explanation of stop-loss is brilliant; small trials to test the trend continuation—this kind of approach I love. I've tried adding various indicators, but the more I add, the more I lose; your minimalist and effective method is still the best. The concept of profit padding is good, essentially letting the money grow itself without eating into the principal. The biggest fear is greed at the last candle; many people fall here. Honestly, most people lose because they think too much; this guy relies on a single moving average to dominate everything.

That's so true. One moving average is enough; everything else is self-deception. Controlling oneself is really harder than anything else. Watching prices soar makes you want to chase... but the result is often that one move that causes me to lose everything. Profit padding is a brilliant trick. Finally, someone has exposed this issue. Frequent trading is essentially paying transaction fees to the exchange in disguise. I've fallen for this too. That's why most people lose money—they want to be too clever. Waiting for a pullback before entering sounds simple, but it takes a lot of patience to actually do it. Repeating correct actions, in simple terms, is discipline. That is the only secret to making money.

Well said, but the key is whether you can stick with it. That's the difficult part. Can we talk about what you were thinking when you were losing money? Does this thing called moving averages really work that well? It feels more like luck. I tried this method, and I got trapped... How did you turn things around later? Isn't this just trend chasing? You used so many words just to say that? I understand the principle, but execution is the real hell, haha. I always can't wait for the pullback stage. How can I cultivate patience and self-discipline? Sounds like a brainwashing routine for new retail investors.

That's quite true, but there are too few people who can stick with it.
