Many people entering the crypto world first dive into learning technical indicators—MACD, KDJ, Bollinger Bands... the list goes on. The result? Theories sound perfect, but when it comes to real money trading, it's easy to get wrecked.
I've been down this road too. Years ago, I stayed up late watching the charts, making impulsive trades based on market fluctuations. When I won, I thought I was a trading genius; when I lost, I blamed the market. It wasn't until I experienced several painful lessons that I gradually understood a simple truth: crypto trading isn't about complex techniques, but about discipline and mindset.
The most heartbreaking thing is those coins that get trapped. Instead of cutting losses decisively, traders keep comforting themselves and averaging down, only to sink deeper. The market fears this kind of "love-struck" operation—knowing it's a bad decision but still finding reasons to justify it.
Now, my trading system is so simple it's almost excessive: I only look at the daily MACD golden cross and the MA30 moving average—just these two indicators. But the real challenge isn't learning them; it's executing—acting on signals with discipline, resisting temptation when it appears. The market always rewards clear-headed and disciplined traders.
The same applies to choosing coins—stick to mainstream coins (top 20 by market cap), avoid all kinds of fancy concept coins. Experience has shown me that the simpler the method, the more effective it is in the long run. Because simplicity means it's easier to execute, and execution builds habits. Habits are what help you survive amid the market's various temptations.
