Having been in the crypto space for so many years, my biggest takeaway isn't catching a black horse coin, but developing a seemingly simple yet highly effective trading method with a high success rate in practice. I have traded coins like $AXL and $ZEC, but the most important thing isn't which coin to choose, but how to operate. Today, I will share my real trading experience in detail, hoping to help everyone avoid detours.



First, let's talk about a phenomenon: if the market suddenly crashes sharply, but the coins you hold only decline slightly, don't rush to cut losses. This often indicates that institutions are supporting the market, and a market bottom is forming. There is a high probability of a rebound afterward. This is the earliest method I learned for identifying market support.

Beginners are most afraid of frequent trading, so my advice is straightforward. For short-term trading, watch the 5-day moving average; if the price stays above it, hold with confidence. If it breaks below, exit immediately. For medium-term trading, look at the 20-day moving average; the logic is the same. In simple terms, find a cycle that suits you and stick to it strictly. This is more effective than any complex indicator.

Regarding entry points, my experience is as follows: when a main upward wave forms without obvious volume increase, enter decisively. After entering, consider the situation: if there's volume-driven rise, hold on; if volume decreases but the trend hasn't broken, continue holding. Once there's a volume-driven decline and the price breaks below the trendline, reduce your position immediately to cut losses—don't gamble.

A very practical tip for short-term entries: if the price remains unchanged for three days, the market might not give you an opportunity. It's better to switch to another target promptly. Also, always set a stop-loss; if losses reach 5%, exit unconditionally. This is a lesson I learned the hard way.

When is a good time to pick up bargains? When a coin drops more than 50% from its high and continues to weaken for 8 consecutive days, it enters an oversold zone. The probability of a rebound increases dramatically. You can try to follow with a small position, but don't go all-in at once.

The logic of choosing coins is also crucial. Prioritize leading coins—they tend to rise strongly, have better resilience, and their risk is relatively controllable. Don't blindly buy the dip on coins with huge declines, and don't give up on coins with large gains out of fear. The core principle is to buy high in an uptrend and sell higher, rather than trying to pinpoint the exact entry or exit points.

I personally emphasize the concept of trend-following trading. The purchase price doesn't need to be the lowest, but it must be appropriate. Never try to guess the bottom in a downtrend—that's the start of losing money. Clearly identify the trend direction and abandon weak coins in time. This is far more important than researching specific entry points.

What to do after making a profit? This is also a big question. Every time you make money, review and analyze whether it was luck or real skill. Don't be greedy with profits; consistent gains are the key to survival. By repeatedly practicing this, you will gradually build your own stable trading system.

Finally, perhaps the most important point: don't force trades without full confidence. Holding cash is also a vital strategy. Many people think that not trading is a waste of time, but that's a big mistake. The primary goal of trading is to preserve capital; making money is secondary. Success rate matters more than trading frequency. Adjust this mindset, and your whole perspective will change.

I've used this method for many years, tested it countless times in real trading, and steadily earned over 2 million. There are no magical secrets—just solid basic skills and persistent execution. The road in the crypto world is still long. Instead of wandering blindly alone, it's better to find a truly feasible method, avoid pitfalls steadily, and step by step move upward.

5% stop-loss is indeed ruthless; you'll know once you try it. --- To put it simply, you still have to endure; patient people end up making money. --- Over 2 million, wow. How many times must one cut losses to reach that? --- I agree that leading coins resist falling; as for the rest... just listen. --- Having no position is also a form of trading; this phrase must be engraved in your mind. --- Why are you teaching us how to make money again? Why not show us with your own actions? --- The method for identifying market support is really unexpected; I never thought of it before. --- Only after 8 consecutive days of weakness did I pick up bargains; how much patience does that require? --- Reviewing past trades is truly more valuable than making money itself; I regret realizing this too late. --- The hardest part of trend trading is actually waiting; most people simply can't sit still.

No problem with what you said, but execution is the hardest part. --- Got the part about supporting the market, next time it crashes hard, hold on tight. --- Having no position is also a strategy; I need to get that tattooed on me. --- I agree with the 5% stop-loss; otherwise, one mistake could send us back to square one. --- Stop talking, no matter how good you sound, in the end, it's all about luck. --- Is 2 million real? I've heard too many legendary stories in the crypto world. --- Leading coins are indeed stable, but I missed out on the biggest gains. --- The key is that knowing is easy, but doing is hard. Everyone knows to follow the trend, but greed makes us forget everything. --- This theory has been touted a thousand times on trading forums. --- Not bad, at least it didn't make me go all-in; you've got a conscience. --- Dare to buy the dip with a 50% drop? You must have a strong mental resilience.

Basically, it's still a mindset issue; many people just can't sit still. I have deep experience with the support manipulation tactics—how many times have I cut losses? I also use the 5-day and 20-day moving averages; it's much better than blindly guessing. Is 2 million real? Post a screenshot to open our eyes. It looks simple in practice, but execution is difficult; many people get stuck at this stage. Holding a completely empty position is the hardest part; still, I can't resist wanting to trade. I just want to know how to identify institutional support; are there any other indicators to use together? It's great that you mentioned reviewing after making money; I always forget because I get lucky each time. A 5% stop-loss sounds easy, but the psychological barrier is hard to overcome.

ngl the whole "institution protecting the dip" theory is... theoretically exploitable but needs way more scrutiny. like, how do you actually verify that? audit findings suggest most retail traders just see what they want to see in the charts.

After reading this late at night, I just want to ask—are the over 2 million before or after deducting gas fees? I'm not joking, I just calculated that if you follow this method on Ethereum, the miner tips alone could eat up half of the profits. Every time the 5-day moving average drops below, you have to exit, so how many on-chain operations does that entail... When gwei skyrockets to 50, I feel like giving up.

I've said so much, honestly, I learned the hard way about the 5% stop-loss rule. The key is to stick to discipline; otherwise, no matter how clever the method, it's all in vain.
