What does it take to make money in the crypto world? Instead of gambling blindly, it's better to use the simplest methods. Starting with a capital of 20,000, sticking to 50% of the position, and holding for 8 years to grow to 30 million, with monthly returns potentially reaching 60%—why can this wild approach work? The key points are:



**Position Management is the First Line of Defense**

Divide your funds into five parts, only move one-fifth at a time. Set a hard stop-loss at 10 points; each mistake only loses 2% of total capital. Even after five mistakes, only 10% is lost. But when correct, take profits above 10 points. With this approach, it's hard to get trapped.

**Follow the Trend, Don't Fight the Market**

The secret to winning is two words: follow the trend. Rebounds in a downtrend are often trap setups; corrections in an uptrend are the golden opportunities—this must be ingrained. Avoid coins that have surged wildly in the short term, whether mainstream or altcoins. Coins that can go through several main upward waves are rare; continuing to rise after a short-term surge is basically impossible. High-level stagnation will naturally lead to a decline; the logic is solid.

**MACD Indicator is Reliable and Sufficient**

A bullish crossover of DIF and DEA below the zero line, then breaking above zero—this is the entry signal. Conversely, a death cross above zero and moving downward means reduce your position and exit quickly—don't hesitate.

**Never Add to a Losing Position**

The term "averaging down" has trapped many retail investors. The more you lose, the more you add; the more you add, the more you lose—this is a big taboo in crypto trading. The rule is: never add when losing; only add when making profits.

**Understand the Volume-Price Relationship Clearly**

A volume breakout after consolidation at a low level—pay close attention; if there's high volume at a high level but no price increase, exit quickly.

**Confirm Trends Across Multiple Timeframes**

Only trade coins in an uptrend. If the 3-day moving average turns upward, there's short-term potential; if the 30-day turns upward, mid-term bullish; if the 84-day turns upward, a main upward wave is coming; if the 120-day turns upward, the long-term is stable.

**Review Every Trade**

Check if your logic for holding coins has changed, whether the weekly K-line technicals are correct, and if the trend direction has shifted. Adjust your strategy as needed—don't be stubborn. Currently, in the rising market of XRP and privacy coins, this methodology still applies.

That's right, but 30 million over 8 years still sounds a bit uncertain... How many people can actually execute it properly?

That's right, I've been using the five-position strategy for three years, and it really makes trading comfortable. The key is to have discipline and not be greedy. Riding the trend alone isn't enough; you also need to prevent your mind from overheating. Those coins that experience short-term rapid increases may look tempting, but they are often traps to catch traders. I also use MACD, but sometimes oscillations near the zero line can deceive signals, so it's best to confirm with volume and price. Adding to positions is truly a killer move. I've seen too many people keep adding as they lose, and in the end, they lose all their capital. Poor discipline can ruin everything. I haven't done enough review and analysis; developing this habit is essential.

To be honest, this set of theories sounds very elegant, but the difficulty of implementation has been seriously underestimated. The problem is that most people simply can't "go with the trend" because human nature is inherently greedy. The case of turning 20,000 into 30 million is a survivor bias in probability theory; those who survive are only a minority. I've also used MACD before, but when market sentiment becomes overheated, the indicator completely fails. The key is to maintain a good mindset; it's not about technology, technology is just a tool.

It's easy to say, but how many people can really stick to it for 8 years? Most people haven't even made it to the second year before getting liquidated. --- Holding 50% position sounds stable, but the problem is most people simply can't control their hands. --- Run at the MACD death cross? I've tried, running too early and crying, running too late and being trapped for a year and a half. --- Adding positions is really a trap. Admitting loss is the hardest moment, but not admitting defeat is even more painful. --- Avoid coins that surge in the short term, it's easy to say but bloody to do. Every time, you just watch others make money. --- It would be great if riding the trend was that simple, but who can accurately judge the trend reversal? Anyway, I always trade in the opposite direction. --- A monthly return of 60% sounds incredible, but with such a solid logic, it's not entirely nonsense. --- Reviewing is important, but most people forget after trading, only regretting when they lose. --- The relationship between volume and price must be understood clearly, but when the market is so bizarre, any pattern is of little use. --- Growing from 20,000 to 30 million, how many twists and turns must one go through? How strong must one's mentality be?

It sounds nice, but it depends on the person. Some people stick to discipline and earn 60% a month, while others read this article and still lose everything in a month.
