We all know that there are countless ways to make money in the crypto world, but truly consistent earners are rare. I spent eight years climbing out of a business failure and debt crisis, during which I explored and tested in the crypto market. Eventually, I developed a relatively stable operational framework.



The core idea is quite simple—stick to the daily chart and use technical indicators to filter opportunities. Specifically, I focus on the MACD golden cross pattern, especially the signals that appear above the zero line. These types of movements have a higher success rate and can help you avoid many false signals.

Once you receive a signal, the next step is disciplined execution. Choose a daily moving average as your lifeline. If the price stays above it, hold your position confidently; if it breaks below, sell unconditionally. It sounds simple, but most people fail at this step—always thinking about waiting to see, averaging down, and eventually getting caught.

Position building requires timing: when the price breaks above the daily moving average with increased volume, you can enter decisively. Then, take profits in stages—sell one-third when it gains 40%, another third at 80%, and if it breaks below the moving average, close all remaining positions. The key is that if it unexpectedly breaks the line the next day, no matter the reasons, you must liquidate immediately. Wait until it stabilizes above the daily line again, then look for opportunities to re-enter—you can still profit.

This strategy doesn’t require you to watch the market all day or listen to rumors and insider tips. Its effectiveness relies solely on two words—discipline. It allowed me to turn my situation around, mainly because I never give myself room for hesitation. Every step follows the rules, making it psychologically easier and ensuring more solid gains.

It sounds good, but I still say the same thing: discipline is easy to understand but hard to practice. Most people don't die because of technical issues; they die because of their mindset. After eight years of experience, I still turn around and buy the dip to average down. What do you think? I've tried this framework, but it's missing that ruthless edge. MACD golden cross sounds reliable, but when has the market not slapped us in the face? Those who say they sell unconditionally are people who have made money before; those who have lost money simply can't do it. It took eight years to figure this out—ordinary people don't have that kind of patience. Taking profits in stages is indeed smart, but when it comes to execution, people always want to wait a bit longer. Discipline is a two-word phrase that sounds light, but how many can truly achieve it? I like not watching the market constantly; it's definitely better than those who are anxious day and night.

Discipline is easy to talk about, but when it comes to actually enforcing it, it can drive people crazy. Breaking the daily moving average is just breaking it; there's nothing to say. Just buy when you want in and sell when you want out. Many people are stubborn and just care about making money. It's either MACD or a golden cross; it feels like everyone has their own secret trick. But who really made money in the end? Escaping debt over eight years is indeed impressive, but is this framework more suitable for big players or retail investors? It's not very clear, which makes it a bit vague. I understand the logic of taking profits in stages, but the key is how many people can resist greed. Most still regret it only after being caught in a trap.

The words "discipline" are really on point, but most people just can't do it. Honestly, those who try to buy the dip after the daily average line breaks are nine out of ten doomed to be trapped. I've heard many similar logics, but the key is still execution. Climbing out of the market for eight years is indeed not easy, but how well does this framework adapt? I've heard MACD golden crosses too many times; now it's just a matter of who can really cut losses.

Discipline is indeed the real skill for making money, but how many actually follow through? Basically, it's about restraining greed. It sounds simple, but actually doing it is deadly. It took eight years to summarize this; how many losses had to be endured? Daily MACD golden cross + daily moving average life line, the framework is solid, but I'm worried human nature will cause trouble again. Most people still get stuck at the stop-loss step, always hoping for a rebound. Phased profit-taking is a good approach; the 40% and 80% ratios are quite stable. The key is to immediately clear the position when breaking the line—this is the hardest part, probably, as it can crush your mindset.

Discipline is easy to talk about, but actually doing it is even harder than holding coins for three years.
