Cryptocurrency investors often ask me a question: How can I pick the truly promising coins from thousands of options? A deeper confusion is—how to accurately ride the waves of price fluctuations without being washed away?



Honestly, my approach isn't that mysterious. It boils down to four words: Logic, Execution, Rhythm, Stop Loss. As long as you follow this framework, you'll avoid many detours, and your trading career will be more solid.

**Level 1: Focus Only on Active Coins**

The first thing I do at market open is scan the recent two-week top gainers. The focus isn't on the biggest gains, but on coins with obvious volatility and suddenly enlarged trading volumes. Why? Because capital flows where opportunities are. Those obscure coins with sparse trading volume—no matter how cheap—are best avoided—liquidity is like a swamp, easy to get stuck in.

**Level 2: Use Monthly Charts to Judge the Big Trend**

Daily charts look different every day, which can confuse you. But when you look at the monthly chart, the trend is real. I pay special attention to MACD forming a golden cross—that usually indicates a major trend is brewing. Follow the trend, and your win rate naturally increases.

**Level 3: Find Entry Points at the 60-Day Moving Average**

After confirming the trend, I wait on the daily chart for a pullback to the 60-day moving average. This level is very interesting: if the price stabilizes here, accompanied by volume, it's a golden buying point. Cost is manageable, and the risk-reward ratio is excellent.

**Level 4: Exit Immediately if Price Breaks Below the Moving Average**

My discipline is simple—if the price stays above the 60-day moving average, I hold; if it breaks below, I exit immediately. No dwelling on previous profits, nor hoping for a rebound. Preserving capital is key to survival.

**Level 5: Take Profits in Batches**

When floating profits exceed 30%, I reduce part of my position to lock in gains; at 50%, I reduce again. The remaining position is used to gamble with profits, which relaxes my mindset and makes operations more stable.

**Level 6: Systematic Approach Beats Luck**

This set of rules may seem rigid, but the reality in the crypto world is just like that—discipline determines profitability, casual trading only leads to losses. Every rule is a summary of practical experience—serving as a protective mechanism. Grasp the trend, hold your position, execute strictly, and the market will eventually reward you.

If you're still wandering blindly in the crypto space, why not try this systematic approach? A disciplined trading method is often more reliable than talent and luck.

Sounds quite experienced, but I always struggle to get the 60-day moving average right... --- It's another discipline theory, easy to say but really hard to implement --- I appreciate the point about taking profits in batches; at least it won't feel so bad psychologically --- So in the end, patience is key, right? Can't be in a hurry --- I need to carefully study the golden cross on the monthly chart --- Obscure coins are indeed easy to get trapped in; I've suffered losses before --- This method sounds foolproof, but I'm worried about losing my temper during execution --- Breaking the 60-day moving average and then selling sounds simple but really tests one's nerves --- As I always say, making money depends on the system, losing money depends on luck, haha --- Taking profit at 30% floating gain? I usually hold until 50%... you know the result

Sounds good, but the reality is that 99% of people can understand the 60-day moving average but cannot execute it. The real issue is not the methodology, but human nature. --- Having heard a lot about the golden cross on the monthly chart, the key still depends on the distribution of chips; otherwise, it's just armchair strategizing. --- I agree with the idea of taking profits in batches. A 30% reduction in positions is an interesting point, but it must be combined with market sentiment indicators. --- The typical "leek" mentality is thinking that mastering technical analysis means you can sit back and win effortlessly. In fact, a bear market can sober up a large number of people. --- The section on stop-loss is well written, but I've seen too many people talk beautifully about it yet fail to do it. Many still hold on after losing 20%. --- A sudden increase in trading volume is a good signal, but often it's just the market maker absorbing chips; don't be fooled. --- I have to give a thumbs up to the phrase "System beats luck," finally someone speaking human language. However, those who truly persist are very rare.

Logic + execution + rhythm + stop loss. That's correct, but too many people die because of execution.

It all sounds right, but the key is that most people can't do it, especially the discipline of stopping losses at the 60-day moving average...

I've used the 60-day moving average strategy before. To be honest, it's mostly theoretical and often ineffective; even in a bear market, it can still break down.

Well said, but the real challenge is execution... How many can truly stick to the 60-day moving average discipline?

Talking about strategies on paper is easy; only those who endure several rounds of sharp declines truly understand what stop-loss means. No matter how eloquently you speak, the key is whether you can withstand the retracement. I've also tried the 60-day moving average system, but the market often cheats. Both systems and discipline sound right, but executing them is a hell. These theories are correct, but 99% of people can't do it, including myself.

Discipline sounds simple, but few can actually follow through. I am the living example of the opposite...

That's right, but anyone would mess up when it comes to execution. I'm currently stuck on the third level, always eager to jump in early. --- I've used the 60-day moving average strategy before, it works okay but you have to hold back, which is the hardest part. --- Taking profits in batches has really saved me several times; otherwise, I would have been wiped out long ago and questioning my life. --- Waiting for the monthly golden cross to happen—sometimes it takes so long I start to think I saw it wrong. --- I've fallen into the trap of obscure coins; their liquidity is so poor I can't get out, so now I just ignore them. --- Discipline is easy to talk about but hard to practice, especially when you see others' coins skyrocketing. --- Brother, this framework is truly systematic; it's way better than my previous haphazard buying and selling. --- Run when the price dips below the moving average—sounds simple, but it really tests your patience and self-control. --- Taking profit at a 30% floating gain? That's a bit conservative, but it indeed helps you survive longer.
