1. Choosing coins: Only follow 'living money'
Take the top 20 from the 24h gain list as a pool, don’t look at obscure coins no matter how attractive they seem—liquidity is the lifeline. The monthly MACD golden cross is the bottom line; do not enter positions without a golden cross. SOL in 2021 and ORDI in 2023 both soared after the golden cross.
2. Trend: The 60-day moving average is the line of life and death
When the coin price pulls back to the 60-day line with volume = strong continuation; if it breaks the 70-day line = trend reversal, immediately stop loss, don’t ask why. ETH halved after losing the 70-day line in 2022; it's a bloody case study.
3. Take profit: Mechanical harvesting
Take profits at 30% with half the position, 50% with another half, and let the remaining position run with profits. 90% of liquidations are not due to wrong judgments, but because of greed.
4. Position: Never be fully invested
Single currency position ≤ total funds 20%, only have bullets to add positions when the black swan comes. On the day LUNA went to zero overnight, I survived by picking up the corpses with my remaining positions.
5. Mindset: Be a hunter, not a gambler
Missing 10 market opportunities is okay; seizing 1 big trend is enough. Discipline is the only moat for retail investors.
