Crypto Circle Practical Experience: The Clumsy Method Is the Hard Truth to Survive
I still remember squeezing into a tiny rented room, going all-in with my remaining $3,800 on spot trades, my fingers trembling so much I couldn’t press the confirm button. That was all my living expenses; if I lost it, I’d be sleeping on the street, with no capital to turn things around. Over four years, from just a few thousand dollars to a seven-figure account, with no connections, no insider info, and never risking high leverage—just sticking to a set of strict rules and grinding it out to the end.
In the circle, the smart people chasing hot trends and playing contracts come and go—some get rich overnight, others go to zero instantly. But I’ve always stayed steady in the market, relying not on luck but on the clumsy method of not crossing the line.
First, follow the flow of funds and sentiment. Review the daily gains of mainstream coins, add those with continuous fund inflows and strong momentum to your watchlist, and remove those with persistent decline and no-volume rebounds. No matter how crazy the market swings, fund flow is the most genuine signal—never go against the trend; contrarian trading is always a dead end.
Second, set the weekly direction and avoid blind trading. If the weekly MACD hasn’t formed a golden cross, stay in cash and wait. Even if the market screams “bull market,” don’t rush in. Only start to position once the golden cross forms and the price pulls back for the first time to stabilize—no bottom fishing, no pre-judging, only act on confirmed opportunities.
Third, stick to one entry point and never open positions randomly. Wait for the price to pull back to the 60-day moving average, and look for signals like volume-increasing bullish candles or long lower shadows indicating stabilization before building positions gradually. Without signals meeting the standards, even if the coin doubles in price, never chase high. Better to miss a rally than risk losing money.
Fourth, the 60-day moving average is the bottom line for risk control—strictly execute take-profit and stop-loss. After entering, if the market rises 30%, reduce your position by one-third and lock in profits; if it reaches 50%, take another third off to secure gains. If the closing price falls below the 60-day moving average, close all remaining positions unconditionally—no fighting, no illusions—exit decisively to protect your capital.
This method may seem clumsy and slow, not making quick money or offering the thrill of overnight riches, but it helps you survive in the dangerous crypto world. I’m Lao He, no pie-in-the-sky promises or hype—just results from real trading. In this market, surviving longer is far more important than earning more.
