I have also walked that path—staring at charts all day, making frequent trades, until I finally realized: the people who truly make money in the crypto world are never those with advanced techniques, but those who can stick to the simplest rules consistently.
**Rule 1: Focus on the active coins** Scan the top gainers daily; only pay attention to those with volatility. Enter the market when MACD shows a bullish crossover on the monthly chart; if there's no signal, wait patiently. Candlestick charts only reveal short-term fluctuations; the long-term trend is the real underlying logic for making money.
**Rule 2: The 60-day moving average is a dividing line** When the price retraces to the 60-day moving average and trading volume increases simultaneously, that's the window to add positions. During the holding phase, stay decisively above the moving average; if it breaks below, exit immediately. Don't hold through the dip or hope for a rebound. This line helps filter out 80% of market noise, allowing you to participate only in high-probability trades.
**Rule 3: Take partial profits in segments, don’t try to eat the whole fish** When profits reach 30%, sell half of your position; at 50%, sell the other half. Keep the remaining position with a trailing stop to let profits run, but never be greedy. Many people lose money because they want to "eat the whole fish," turning from profit-makers into losers.
**Rule 4: Break the 60-day line, no hesitation** This is not a suggestion; it’s an ironclad rule. No matter how many positive news or signals, do not hesitate—if the line is broken, close all positions immediately. Stop-loss is essentially spending "life-saving money"; it’s not about giving up.
**Rule 5: Discipline always outweighs analysis** The market loves to punish those who think they are clever, but it’s especially gentle with disciplined traders. Trade less, wait more. When emotions are high and you want to place an order, shutting down your trading app is more important than anything else.
These five rules have helped me go from repeated losses to stable profits. The crypto world never mistreats those who truly follow discipline, but it will severely teach those who hold onto false hope. Repeating simple actions is the fastest way to grow.

That's so true. Discipline is really the only rule for making money. I previously lost money due to frequent trading.
However, the 60-day moving average strategy is a bit late for me; I've already been lessons too many times.
The key is to be able to hold back and not get itchy just by looking at the top gainers.
I only now fully understand the segmented take-profit approach. I used to think I should wait a bit longer, but in the end, I lost everything back.
Basically, it's about execution. Many people know this theory, but few can stick to it.

That hits too close to home. I'm the one who wanted to eat a full fish and then got eaten by the fish.

Discipline is really more valuable than anything else; stop-loss has saved me countless times.

Honestly, the times I got liquidated were my best teachers, more valuable than any big V's lessons.
Sell after breaking the 60-day moving average; I stick to this rule now. Only by staying alive can I catch the next wave.
Segmented take-profit was something I really couldn't do before. I kept thinking to wait a bit longer, and in the end, I lost everything all at once.
Discipline sounds simple in theory, but when the market hits, your mind just doesn't obey.
My dream of fully catching the fish is long dead. Now I just want to secure a 30% gain and get out.

I'll generate 5 comments with different styles:
Breaking the 60-day moving average and then running away—I've truly come to believe in this. Every time I failed to do so, I got slapped in the face.
You’re absolutely right. I used to want to maximize gains, but ended up losing everything.
Discipline > analysis. This phrase needs to be engraved in your mind, or you'll still get emotional.
Sticking to these 5 rules can ensure stable profits? It sounds easy, but actually doing it is hard.
Stop-loss is really about saving your life. I used to think it would rebound, but now I understand.

If you can't run when the line breaks, everything else is pointless.
