From the initial small capital to the current scale of assets, I realize that making money in the crypto world has never been about talent or insider information, but about sticking to a seemingly conservative methodology that can demonstrate long-term power. Many people laugh at this approach as "too stable," but stability itself is the core competitiveness for ordinary people to survive and thrive in this market.

I have summarized this trading framework into 8 points, which have not only yielded results for myself but have also been validated through teaching:

**1. Divide funds into five parts, risk control ingrained in the bones**
Split the principal into 5 portions, investing only 1/5 each time. Set a 10% stop-loss point; if a single loss reaches at most 2% of the principal, even five consecutive wrong calls only total a 10% loss. Conversely, if correct, you can take more than 10% profit, gradually amplifying the account through continuous compounding.

**2. Following the trend is the first rule of survival**
Any rebound in a downtrend may be a false breakout; only pullbacks in an uptrend are genuine entry opportunities. The market’s overall direction is always smarter, and fighting against the trend is fighting against probability, often resulting in account shrinkage.

**3. Explosive coins are traps set for beginners**
Coins that surge wildly in the short term usually lack sustainability. Consolidation at high levels is often a trap set by the main players to shake out the weak. Instead of betting on continued rise, it’s better to hold back and not touch, because staying alive is the prerequisite for making money.

**4. Use MACD to understand market pulse**
A golden cross formed by DIF and DEA below the zero line, especially if they are about to or have just broken above zero, is a low-risk buy signal; when they form a death cross above zero, decisively reduce or clear your position. Master the rhythm of this indicator to cut losses by half and avoid forced liquidation.

**5. Do not average down on losing trades**
Adding to losing positions only digs the hole deeper. Averaging down should only be used on profitable trades to expand gains; do not look at losing positions at all—stop-loss is the final rescue.

**6. Volume always tells the truth**
A volume breakout at low levels usually indicates readiness to take off, but if volume surges at high levels without price rising, you should exit immediately. Candlestick charts can be manipulated, but large-volume transactions cannot be fooled.

**7. Follow moving averages to find opportunities**
The 3-day moving average trending upward is a window for short-term T+0 trading; a strong 30-day moving average indicates the start of a medium-term trend; an upward 84-day moving average signals the main upward wave; an upward 120-day moving average is a sign of a long-term bull market. Choosing the right moving average cycle is equivalent to selecting the right operation level.

**8. Every trade must be reviewed afterward**
Review the logic behind this trade, whether subsequent market changes have invalidated your assumptions, and whether the major weekly trend still favors you. Treat review as an essential step from luck to skill.

The core of these methods is not about complexity but about consistency in execution. Being able to follow 3 of these can help you survive in the crypto market; sticking to 5 can achieve stable profits; mastering all 8 is just one market cycle away from your wealth goal. Don’t envy others’ results—most of the time, it’s because they took the time early on to repeatedly verify the simplest methods.
