#ETH走势分析 has been in this market for 8 years, from being a newbie who got liquidated to now having a stable account of 20 million. What I want to say is - I really am not some trading genius.
Many people always think that making money requires some secret technique. But to be honest, what allows you to survive in the crypto world and actually make money are often just a few of the simplest and most boring actions, repeated until they become second nature.
You have definitely experienced this: seeing a certain altcoin suddenly surge, you impulsively jump in, and the next day it gets cut in half, leaving you staring at your account in losses, and your mentality completely collapses. I made this kind of stupid mistake many times in my first three years. Later, reflecting on my pain, I deconstructed my trading system to the simplest form, and instead began to achieve stable profits.
**How do I choose the underlying asset now?** It's very straightforward - first, look at the gainers list. If a coin has no popularity and funds are unwilling to enter the market, what’s the point of trying to bottom it out? I only pay attention to those that have shown performance and have traces of fund inflow, which at least indicates that the market recognizes its narrative.
**On the technical side, don't make it too complicated.** The MACD golden cross on the monthly chart is my main entry criteria. Those K-lines on the daily chart that are twitching back and forth? To be honest, looking at them too much will only make you anxious. Before a clear monthly signal appears, I would rather be in cash waiting than gamble on those so-called "bottom-fishing rebounds" — nine times out of ten, you're just catching a falling knife.
Then there's the key position of the 60-day moving average. If the price pulls back without breaking it and starts to increase in volume, that's when I will consider adding to my position. No signal appears? Then just keep waiting. Many people lose money not because they don't know how to buy, but because they get anxious and always want to do something.
**What happens after entering the market? Don't get attached to fighting.** This is a lesson I truly paid for with blood: when the position breaks, just get out, don’t fall in love with the market. Too many people go from profit to being deeply trapped because they can't bear to part with those few points of profit, and end up holding on all the way to Get Liquidated. Set a stop-loss line, and execute when it breaks, there’s no second thought.
As for taking profits, I never liquidate all at once. When there's a 30% profit on paper, I first sell half to lock in the profits; when it reaches 50%, I sell another half; the remaining portion is gradually moved with a trailing stop. Although this method may not capture the peak, it ensures that I can secure profits each time instead of riding a roller coaster.
There is another iron rule - the 70-day moving average is my lifeline. If it falls below this level, no matter how great the previous gains were, I will immediately liquidate my position and leave. Don't bet against the market, and don't risk your fortune to prove how "correct" your judgment is. Being able to survive in this market for 8 years relies on this awareness of self-preservation at critical moments.
Ultimately, the logic of making money in the crypto world isn't that mysterious: execute simple rules to the extreme and turn emotional management into muscle memory. The real difference lies not in how many candlestick charts you've looked at, but in whether you dare to act when it's time to cut losses.

Stop loss is really the hardest; I have also experienced that feeling of reluctance.
Not leaving when the level breaks is really jumping into the fire pit.
You're right, surviving is winning.
I am also using the monthly MACD; it really makes things easier.
The urge to trade is the number one killer in the crypto world, no doubt about it.
Once the 70-day moving average breaks, I need to run; I have to remember this discipline well.
Honestly, having a 20 million account is indeed impressive, but what impresses me the most is that mindset.

This guy is right, it's just about sticking to the discipline to live longer.
When breaking the position, just walk away. It sounds simple, but there really aren't many who can do it.
I just couldn't bear to lose those few points and ended up turning a floating profit into a Get Liquidated.
The 70-day moving average did remind me that I need to change my habit of being overly eager.
To be honest, is the monthly MACD golden cross pattern reliable in a Bear Market? Seeking answers.
This stop loss thing really requires me to repeatedly criticize myself to execute it properly.
I'm just afraid that even knowing these principles, I still can't change my habit of momentum investing.

To be honest, this system essentially means that discipline crushes talent, and I quite agree with that.
Most people actually fall because of their itchy hands, they must create the thrill of trading.
I need to add that 70-day moving average line into my trailing stop loss model; it feels more convincing than my current parameters.
The experience of getting liquidated in the first three years was the most expensive tuition; without that groundwork, there wouldn't be stable profits later.
The monthly MACD is indeed much more stable than the daily chart signals; the noise in the daily chart is really a mindset killer.
However, having said that, the leap from getting liquidated to 20 million is often just luck + the benefits of the times; the market rhythm has changed a lot now.
I'm just afraid someone will read this and directly go for 2x leverage to test the theory, and then it will be another wave of suckers being played.

The phrase "just walk away when it breaks" really hits hard. I used to be reluctant to let go of those few points, and ended up holding on from profit to getting liquidated. Now looking at this, I finally understand why I always lose.
It's true, the urge to trade is really the biggest enemy in the crypto world. Waiting for signals sounds simple but is actually difficult to do.
How did I stabilize at 20 million? It feels like it was built on stop loss discipline and emotional management, nothing magical about it.
The combination of the monthly golden cross pattern with the 60-day moving average is simple and straightforward, and it actually has some value. It's much more reliable than all the indicators I used to look at.
The logic this guy talks about for selecting coins from the rise list was completely the opposite of what I used to think. I always focused on buying the dip of obscure coins, which led to the biggest losses.
The 70-day moving average as a lifeline is a tough setup, indicating that it took several lessons from the market to figure out this rule.
The process of taking profit in batches looks annoying but is indeed safer. It's much better than the all in all out mentality.

I have always been too lenient with stop losses, and seeing this sentence "Do you dare to take action" is a bit heart-wrenching.
I need to tattoo "Walk away when it breaks" on myself; I've had too many painful lessons.
The monthly MACD is really my lifeline, completely ignoring the noise from the daily chart.
If the 70-day moving average breaks down, just get out; it sounds simple but is really hard to execute.
For those with itchy hands, it’s very healing to realize I’m not the only one.
This set of rules is ridiculously simple, but the difficulty lies in how many can truly stick to it.
The number 20 million reminds me that I’m still dreaming.
I've learned to take profit in batches; it feels really good not to chase the highest point.

The discussion on stop loss is very realistic; how many people have perished just because they couldn't bear to lose those few points.
I have deep experience with leaving immediately when breaking positions; if I hadn't learned this trick, I would have exploded several times by now.
80% of losses are actually mindset issues; the urge to trade is really poison.
I'm also using the monthly MACD logic, which has saved me a lot of anxiety.
The key is still execution; knowing and doing are worlds apart, and this article explains it thoroughly.
