Last March, my cousin gritted his teeth and quit his job that paid 8,000 yuan a month, taking 50,000 yuan into the crypto world.

I taught him a simple method—use the monthly chart for the big trend, and the daily chart to time entries. A month and a half later, he sent me a message: "Bro, I made 120,000 this month!" Don’t think this was just luck—it’s actually about doing the simple things right.

**Start by picking potential coins from the top gainers list**

He focused on the 11-day top gainers list, and immediately eliminated any coin that had dropped three days in a row. Those that looked about to explode were usually just whales cashing out. From 12 candidates, he cut 4 "three-day losers," leaving 8 relatively stable ones.

**The monthly MACD golden cross is the real signal**

Switching these 8 coins to the monthly chart, he passed on any that hadn’t shown a golden cross. A golden cross on the monthly MACD signals the start of a big trend—entering here has the lowest risk. At that time, SOL had just formed a golden cross and was trending beautifully. He ended up locking in 3 targets.

**The 60-day moving average on the daily chart marks the institutional cost zone**

Next, look at the daily charts of these 3 coins. The area around the 60-day moving average is where the big players’ costs lie. Back then, ETH had just pulled back to the 60-day MA, then suddenly surged with a huge bullish candle three times the average volume. He didn’t hesitate—he put 70% of his funds in. He was confident—the big trend was right and the support held.

**Take profits in batches to lock in gains**

After buying in, he followed one rule: hold as long as the price stays above the 60-day MA; if it breaks down, exit.

Up 30%? Sell one-third to break even.
Up 50%? Sell another third to lock in profit.
The rest rides the 60-day MA—if the trend stays strong, hold for more gains.

On the ETH trade, the first two rounds of take profit recovered all the principal. The last portion made another 15%, for a total return of a steady 55%.

Remember! If the price drops below the 60-day MA after buying, cut your losses immediately. On his DOT trade, my cousin stopped out with just a 2% loss; afterward, the price crashed another 30%.

This strategy isn’t about talent—it’s about discipline and execution.

No matter how the market changes, as long as you have a system, you can keep calm.
