Making losses in crypto contracts is nine times out of ten not a market problem, but because you haven't established a reusable trading system.

I have gone through a complete cycle in this circle myself—earning over 3 million, and also losing up to 8 million in debt, only to turn around and reach over 10 million again. The deepest insight is: those who truly survive rely not on luck, but on a fixed, proven trading method.

Today, I will share this approach that I have been using all along.

**Step 1: Filter coins first, don’t trade randomly**

I only look at coins that have been on the gainers list in the past 11 days. What does a rising gainers list indicate? Funds are paying attention to it, and it has heat.

But there is a key filtering condition: if within these 11 days, the coin has experienced three consecutive days of decline, I will exclude it directly. Why? Most likely, the main force has already started to withdraw, and there’s no need to chase the last volume.

**Step 2: Use the monthly chart to set the direction, only trade strong trends**

Open the candlestick chart, and I only look at one level—monthly. What do I look for? Whether the MACD shows a golden cross. If this isn’t confirmed, all subsequent operations are pointless. If the direction is wrong, even perfect technicals can’t save you.

**Step 3: Find the position on the daily chart, only recognize one line**

After confirming the monthly trend, switch to the daily level. At this point, I only look at one line: the 60-day moving average.

When do I enter? When the price pulls back near the 60-day moving average and a volume-increasing candlestick appears. This is my signal to act. Note, this isn’t chasing the rally, but patiently waiting for a pullback and confirmation.

**Step 4: After entering, follow the rules strictly**

Once in, the 60-day moving average becomes a life-and-death line. The logic is simple:

Price stays above the moving average → Hold

Breaks below the moving average → Stop loss immediately

Take profit in three steps:

1. When the wave rises 30%, sell one-third
2. When the wave rises 50%, sell another third
3. The most critical rule: if after buying, the next day the price drops below the 60-day moving average, regardless of the reason, close all positions. Don’t hold onto hope, don’t wait for a rebound.

This combination of monthly + daily charts makes the probability of breaking the moving average itself quite low. But even if it happens, preserving your capital is always more important than a single profit.

**Final words**

In the crypto circle, making money isn’t actually difficult. What’s hard? Is whether you can stick to the same set of rules consistently.

Methods are just tools; execution is the core that determines whether you can achieve stable profits.

If you are still placing orders based on feelings, constantly changing your approach, and have no rhythm, it’s not that you can’t do it—you just haven’t used the right method yet.
