Having navigated the crypto world for five years, I’ve come to the core conclusion: simplicity and repetition are the keys to survival.

In the beginning, I was dazzled by all kinds of complex indicators—MACD, Bollinger Bands, volume… The more I learned, the faster I lost money. Later, I realized that those flashy tools are actually traps. True strength comes from minimalism.

I chose a daily moving average as my "lifeline" for trading. The rule is simple—when the price stays above the line, go long; when it drops below, exit or reverse to short. Just this one line helped me avoid countless crashes.

Let me share my trading framework. I only look at one signal: the closing price must stay above the moving average. My position management is extremely conservative—never more than 20% of my capital on the first entry, and total holdings never exceed 50%. There’s no need to discuss stop-loss; if the closing price falls below the moving average, I exit immediately. Take profits in stages—sell some at 30% profit, more at 50%, and let the rest run.

I’ve broken this system three times. Each time, the results were disastrous. But these lessons convinced me— the only thing the market can truly rely on is your own trading system.

From an initial capital of 50,000 to now, the secret is two words: repetition. In a bear market, stay in cash and wait; when a crash happens, clear your positions decisively; when a bull market peaks, exit timely. All these judgments are guided by my system, not feelings or news.

A piece of advice for beginners: start with small funds in real trading, don’t use demo accounts or heavy leverage. Maintain a normal life rhythm—this is more important than learning more techniques. Honestly, retail traders’ advantage lies in patience and discipline—being flexible enough to sit out and wait, something institutions can’t do.

Trading is essentially a process of self-cultivation. It exposes your greed and fear, helping you see your true self.

What is real freedom? Doing what you want, spending time with family and friends. I will continue to stick to this moving average because it really works.
