#数字资产行情上升 Why does your coin always lose—maybe the answer isn't luck
Honestly, trading based on feelings just passively gets you slaughtered. When it rises, you're afraid of missing out; when it falls, you always want to buy the dip. Getting too excited leads to reckless trades, and in the end, the more you operate, the more you lose. The market isn't here to harvest you; you're actively lying on the chopping block.
I've been in this circle for 8 years, now 34. When I started at 26, I was empty-handed; by 30, my account had grown to eight figures. It's not luck, nor am I smarter than anyone else—it's because I stuck to a strategy that many see as "too conservative."
**The first principle is simple: go with the trend.**
When the market is declining, most rebounds are traps set by the bulls; when the market is rising, sudden dips are real opportunities. Those always trying to buy the bottom end up with the same result—losing their principal first.
**Second, stay away from coins that surge short-term.**
Whether it's mainstream or altcoins, very few can maintain a trend after a sharp rise. Expecting the next wave of growth during sideways consolidation at high levels is basically giving back all your profits.
**Third, don't overlook slow indicators.**
I've used MACD for many years; the rules are very rigid—consider opening a position only when there's a golden cross and it’s above zero; once it crosses below zero, reduce your position immediately. If you find it troublesome and want to save effort, then your entries and exits are all based on mood, and market repeated lessons teach you that you deserve it.
**Fourth, the most critical rule: never add to a losing position.**
Many people ruin themselves with the word "averaging down." You should only add to winning positions. When losing, the first reaction must be to cut losses—don't think about spreading costs.
**Fifth, focus on volume and price, not stories.**
Trading volume reflects the real flow of funds. When volume breaks out at low levels, follow through; at high levels, if it can't move up, you must exit. No other considerations.
The final core logic: only trade coins with a clear upward trend. When the 3-day, 30-day, 84-day, and 120-day moving averages all turn upward and align in direction, the win rate naturally increases.
These methods may not look cool, and the rules seem rigid, but this set of strategies has saved my account many times. You can continue to rely on intuition to fight in the market, or try switching up your rhythm.
That's about it.

You're so right. I'm the kind of person who makes trades based on gut feeling, and I end up losing everything.
I have a strong feeling about adding positions; I've lost all my profits after just a few attempts. I really need to fix this bad habit.
The rigid MACD rules sound boring, but they are indeed reliable. I still need to follow the rules.
Aligning multiple timeframes of moving averages is a logic I need to try; it's much more reliable than my current reckless trading.
These days, you really need discipline, or the market will just wait like a chopping board to cut you up.

Honestly, I've already paid my tuition with blood for the words "add to position." Now I just stick to the stop-loss line.

That's right, but too many people can't listen. I also only understood after being educated that adding to your position is truly a deadly poison.

The words "add to position" are truly poison; I've seen too many people fall for it.

Basically, it's a mindset issue. After all these years, there are still people who insist on going against the trend.

That's right, I lost money this way, and I feel that trading is truly a suicidal operation.
The two words "adding positions" taught me a bloody lesson, I directly lost over 100,000 yuan.
Rigid rules are the only way to survive, isn't that the truth?
Just listening to stories without looking at volume is all for the rookies, including myself once.
The principle of riding the trend, I've heard it a thousand times, but I always end up dead on the bottom.
After so many years, I still use MACD, although it looks too low-level, but it really helps me survive.
I basically don't touch coins that suddenly surge now; I’m just the last tool for catching the final wave.
Only move when the moving averages turn, otherwise I just lie down, and that feels super comfortable.

The words "adding to position" are really a harvest machine for newbies; how many people have died here.
