In the crypto market, a lot of people lose money—not because they can’t read candlestick charts, but because they always feel smarter than the market. They like to guess bottoms and tops and want to catch every reversal. Later, I realized the method that truly helps you survive long-term is not complicated analysis, but executing a set of simple rules to the end—without relying on feelings and without being led by emotions.

First, only pay attention to the bullish cross that forms on the daily MACD above the 0 axis. After replaying and reviewing the major coin trends over the past few years, I found that signals like this often mean the trend has already started to strengthen. I also tried bullish crosses below the 0 axis before, and the result was often that once I entered, price kept falling, and in some cases I was trapped for a long time. Only then did I understand: if the higher timeframe hasn’t stabilized, even a short-term signal that looks pretty can easily become a trap.

Second, treat the 20-day moving average as your trading line of defense. If the price holds above the moving average, you can consider participating with a light position. If it breaks below a key level, you exit according to discipline—no excuses for yourself. When SOL pulled back last year, many people thought it was just a shakeout. I chose to exit first. Even though I missed some of the rebound gains, at least I avoided bigger drawdowns later. $AKE

Third, position sizing always follows the rules. Without a clear breakout and volume confirmation, I won’t go heavy on positions. In normal times, I control the position ratio and keep the capital for opportunities where I’m truly confident. After becoming profitable, I don’t sell everything at once either. Instead, I take profits in batches—for example, when price reaches the target area, I realize part of the profit, and the remaining position uses a trailing stop with a moving stop to follow the trend.

Fourth, stop-losses must become a habit. Many people lose money not because their judgment is wrong, but because after they’re wrong, they refuse to admit it. They always tell themselves to wait a bit more and hope the market comes back. The market most enjoys punishing this kind of lucky thinking. A real trader isn’t someone who never loses—they’re someone who knows how to control losses.

In the end, what you’re really competing on isn’t who can predict most accurately, but who can stick to simple rules. Picking the right signals, controlling position sizing, and executing stop-losses—these seemingly ordinary things are the real cards that help you stay in the market long-term.
