I met an old brother in the crypto industry last year. Using simple and straightforward methods, he managed to carve out 1 million dollars in this space.

The most shocking thing was that he shared his trading records, and those analysts who talk endlessly all went silent—80% of his trades were losses.

Many people must be scratching their heads: if he's constantly losing, how can he still make money? Actually, it's just two words—survive. Treat the principal as life and protect it; that's the secret.

How does he do it? He only uses one-tenth of his total funds for each trade, strictly limits his stop loss to 5%, and if he takes three consecutive losses, he shuts down immediately—never fights the market. Sounds cowardly, right? But when the market's big waves come, those shouting "profit if you can" all turn into kebabs, while he remains calmly waiting for the harvest.

Regarding moving averages, his rules are even tougher than steel:

The 5-day MA? That's a short-term meat grinder, a trap for beginners—he never touches it. The 30-day MA is his life line—coins that stay above this line can gain over 300% on average in a bull market. As for the 200-day MA, that's the death line—dare to bottom fish below it? Nine out of ten will get buried there.

He also sees through sudden surges. When FOMO kicks in and everyone rushes in, there's a 90% chance of losing within three days. What does true bottom look like? No one takes the bait, community criticism is loud, and trading volume is smaller than a mosquito—this is when the whales quietly accumulate.

As for adding positions, he is even more meticulous. He never buys more when prices rise; only when profits are truly in his pocket does he dare to act. Every 10% rise, he halves his position size, stacking his pyramid of positions. This way, his gains easily multiply several times.

He also has a special trick for identifying whales:

Long upper shadows appearing at high levels generally indicate a pullback within seven days. No-volume downward declines are even simpler—they're just cutting off those who lack patience.

He focuses on core coins like BTC, ETH, SOL, and BNB. Tracking their rhythm over the long term, aligning with this logic, is how he crawled out of the deep loss pit and built a truly profitable system of his own.
