Having navigated the crypto world for years, trying all kinds of strategies and paying plenty of tuition fees, I can say that those who can truly hold on until now and continue to make steady moves are following a process that seems simple on the surface but is extremely difficult to execute.
Last year, achieving eight-figure account returns was not due to luck or insider information, but purely through strict discipline.
There are actually four core steps: selecting coins, buying, position management, and selling.
**Step 1: Selecting Coins**
Add coins that have been on the gainers list in the past 11 days into your watchlist, but with a strict bottom line: if a coin drops for more than 3 consecutive days, remove it immediately. This kind of trend usually indicates that the stage funds have already been secured, and latecomers are more likely to become bagholders, so there's no need to take that risk.
**Step 2: Look at the Larger Cycle**
Switch to the monthly chart, focusing only on one thing: whether the MACD has a bullish crossover. If not, it's better to stay in cash and wait. Many people chase short-term strength, but until the trend is confirmed, even strong rebounds can be false signals.
**Step 3: Find Entry Points**
Switch to the daily chart, paying close attention to the 60-day moving average. When the price retraces near this line and is accompanied by a volume spike or clear signs of a bottom, that’s the moment to consider entering. Never chase the rally; wait for a dip that offers a rebound opportunity.
**Step 4: Selling and Risk Control**
After entering, use the 60-day moving average as a benchmark: hold when the price is above it, and exit if it breaks below. The specific steps are:
- If the price rises more than 30%, sell one-third of your position.
- If it rises over 50%, sell another third.
- If the price drops below the 60-day moving average the day after purchase, don’t hesitate—liquidate all positions.
Using the combination of "monthly trend confirmation + daily precise entry," the probability of breaking below the moving average is actually low, but defense must always come first.
In this market, more than making quick money, it’s crucial to keep your principal alive in the game. Once you sell, as long as the conditions are right again, you can re-enter at any time—no regrets.
Ultimately, the difficulty in making money has never been about the method itself, but whether you can truly execute it properly. The market is constantly changing; stubbornness will only lead to being left behind. Learning to adapt flexibly is the only way to stay steady and go further in this space.

Talking about fighting on paper is easy; few can truly stick to discipline.
It sounds good, but it's actually just repeating the same thing.
I've known this logic for a long time, but the key is still attitude. Often, once the monthly line crosses, it starts to swell.
I've tried the 60-day moving average, but in actual operation, I always want to buy the dip, only to get hammered down hard.
It sounds simple, but it all depends on who can really survive until the end.
It sounds similar to my trading system, but I lack this kind of ironclad execution.
Eight figures? The details are the concern—I'm just afraid of pitfalls.
Saying that breaking the line means you're out is harsh, but I always want to try one more time.

Discipline is easy to talk about but deadly to practice. I just lost because I couldn't stick to stop-loss.
The key is to stay alive. There are plenty of ways to make money, but if you can't survive, everything else is pointless.
The 60-day moving average isn't that magical. The market changes so quickly that you have to adjust at any moment, or you'll still get wiped out.

Discipline is indeed the foundation of making money, but very few people can truly stick to it until the end.

Discipline is easy to talk about, but few can stick to it until the end. I'm one of the ones who get beaten the most.

Sticking rigidly to discipline is not wrong, but few can actually do it.
Execution is the real ceiling; methodologies are everywhere.
Breaking the 60-day moving average and then selling is the hardest part.
Talking about eight-figure sums is easy, surviving is what makes you a winner.
The principle of putting defense first is excellent; most people go against it.

Discipline is easy to talk about but extremely hard to practice. Those who have made it this far are true believers in this principle.
If you break the rules, just get out. There's no point in overthinking it; staying alive is more important than anything.
I've been watching the 60-day moving average line for three years. It is indeed useful, but only if you can truly execute it.
I've tried the combination of monthly and daily charts. The key is mindset—when prices rise, you want to take more, but you often get slapped in the face.
Choosing coins is really about choosing discipline. If it drops for three days straight, kick it out. It sounds simple, but few actually do it.
I once thought the MACD golden cross was a holy grail, but I later realized that the core is actually the execution of stop-losses.
Eight-figure sums sound impressive, but one retracement can wipe it out. The saying "defense first" is spot on.
I've tried all these processes, and the results are average. The key depends on who your opponent is; the market is really changing.

honestly the discipline part hits different... most people just chase green candles and wonder why they're broke lmao. the 60-day ma thing actually makes sense though, not some magic indicator bs. but ngl, execution remains the real enemy—everybody *knows* this stuff, almost nobody actually sticks to it when fomo kicks in.
