Having been involved in the crypto market for 8 years, my account has grown from zero to 6 million. To be honest, I’ve never considered myself a genius. The reason I’ve been able to survive and make money until now all comes down to one thing—discipline.

Those seemingly trivial trading rules, each one of them, are lessons I learned the hard way—after blowing up accounts and suffering losses, I engraved them into my mind through blood, sweat, and tears.

First, I don’t touch coins that show no signs of activity. The first criterion for choosing a coin is to observe the capital flow—projects that have recently appeared on the gainers list and are continuously attracting buy interest are worth a deeper look. Second, I wait for the MACD golden cross on the monthly chart; that’s my bottom line before I’m willing to get in. Before the big trend starts, I prefer to stay on the sidelines and wait.

After entering the market, I almost never engage in high-frequency trading. I focus on one line—the 70-day moving average. When the price pulls back to around the moving average and trading volume suddenly spikes, that’s a signal I consider for adding to my position. As long as the price doesn’t effectively break below this line, I hold on; once the close confirms a breakdown, regardless of whether my account is in profit or loss, I liquidate immediately. This discipline has saved me multiple times, helping me avoid many risks during sharp declines.

When it comes to taking profits, I never expect to sell at the highest point. When the gain reaches about 30%, I cut half of my position—this allows me to recover my initial capital and reduces psychological pressure significantly. If the market continues to rise to a 50% gain, I cut another round. The remaining position then follows the trend, without rushing to exit.

The most scarce resource in the crypto world isn’t opportunity—there are plenty of opportunities. What’s scarce is capital. The ability to survive long-term in this market isn’t about precise predictions; it’s about a simple set of rules that can be repeatedly executed. The market never favors the smart; it only opens its doors to those who stick to discipline, can endure, and are willing to admit mistakes.
