I want to share a trading method. It may not be flashy, but after using it for so many years and trying all kinds of complex strategies, it’s actually the one that can truly generate consistent profits.

It’s not the smartest, but it’s definitely the most effective.

**First Principle: Only Trade Strong Assets**

Add the coins that have appeared on the recent gainers list to your watchlist, then set a strict rule — if it drops for more than three consecutive days, delete it immediately.

Many people don’t understand this. They think that a decline means a bargain, an opportunity to buy low. In reality, that’s an illusion. What does a continuous decline indicate? It shows that funds are fleeing. The bottom you see might still be falling further.

**Second Principle: Only Look at the Monthly Chart, Don’t Fight the Main Trend**

Open the candlestick chart and do one thing: check if the MACD on the monthly chart has a golden cross.

What does a golden cross represent? It indicates a long-term upward trend. Trading against the main trend is essentially gambling. No matter how clever your tactics, they can’t change this reality.

**Third Principle: Only Keep the 60-Day Moving Average on the Daily Chart**

Switch to the daily chart, turn off all indicators, and only keep the 60-day moving average.

When the price retraces near the 60-day MA and a volume-increasing candlestick appears, that’s the signal to act. This isn’t luck; it’s an entry based on logical reasoning and evidence.

**Fourth Principle: Manage Around the 60-Day MA After Entry**

Once in the trade, there’s only one standard: hold as long as the price stays above the line; exit if it breaks below.

How to allocate your position? Handle it in three stages: if it rises more than 30%, sell one-third; if it rises more than 50%, sell another third; the most critical rule is — if right after buying it suddenly breaks below the 60-day MA (due to unexpected bad news), there’s no debate — close the position immediately.

No waiting, no gambling on the future, no self-soothing.

Making a wrong sale isn’t fatal. The real failure is missing the next opportunity.

**Why does this strategy survive?**

Because it uses the monthly chart to set the direction and the daily chart to determine life or death. The real difference isn’t whether you can interpret market trends, but whether you can decisively execute when it’s time to exit.

Markets change, but human nature never does. Greed and fear are always there; no matter how you try to hide, you can’t escape them.

Finally, a word of advice: what you think is an opportunity might actually be a trap; what you fear as risk could be your real chance. Trading is never about fighting the candlesticks, but about battling your own greed and fear. Survive first, then you’ll have the qualification to talk about making money.
