Money in the crypto world ultimately flows to those who can clearly explain complex concepts.

Over the years of navigating the market, I’ve found that truly effective strategies are surprisingly simple. It’s not about trading frequently, but about acting only when key signals light up. The entire logic can be summarized in four steps: catch the signal, confirm the trend, wait for the right moment, and execute mechanically.

**Be ruthless in selecting signals**

Your watchlist shouldn’t include everything. Only include coins that have recently shown strong performance—that’s what the market is choosing. But if a coin remains weak for three consecutive days, remove it immediately. The stage has shifted, so there’s no need to stay in an empty venue.

**Monthly MACD is the watershed for confirming the trend**

Without establishing direction at this level, even a lively daily chart is meaningless. Many people get trapped here—confusing short-term fluctuations with the overall trend, which hasn’t stabilized yet. As a result, they get caught when the trend suddenly turns. When the monthly MACD gives a golden cross signal, that’s when the trend is officially “licensed” to move.

**A pullback to the right level is the proper entry point**

Seeing the trend correctly is just the first step. The more critical part is finding the right entry point. When the price pulls back near the 60-day moving average on the daily chart and shows clear signs of stabilization, that’s when it’s worth considering. All those impulsive urges to buy the dip should be held back.

**Execution rules are the line between life and death**

Once in, the 60-day moving average becomes the embodiment of discipline. Hold as long as the price stays above it, letting your gains grow naturally. If it falls below, exit unconditionally. When gains reach 30% or 50%, take partial profits—cash out the principal, and keep the rest to chase bigger moves.

The beauty of this method is that it frees you from the anxiety of “should I chase the high” or “should I buy the dip,” turning you into someone who calmly follows the rules. It abandons the fantasy of buying at the bottom and selling at the top, instead focusing on holding the most certain part of the trend and systematically avoiding large retracements that can wipe you out.

In the crypto space, “knowing what not to do” is a hundred times more important than “trying to do everything.” Wealth is never built by a few precise calls, but by repeatedly doing the right things. Stable profits come from two things: a set of rules you can execute coldly in any market, and your trust in your own discipline.

Markets change every day, but human greed and fear never do. The real skill in mastering the market is actually mastering that always-trying-to-cut corners version of yourself.
