How to make money in the crypto world in the simplest way? Many people stumble in two areas: first, lacking a clear trading system; second, having a system but failing to execute it. Today, I’ll share a trading logic based on moving averages, which is relatively straightforward to operate, so even market beginners can understand and get started.
The core idea is very simple—choose the right direction, build positions gradually, and exit according to discipline. This method can maintain an accuracy rate of over 70% in practice, with the key being strict execution.
**Step 1: Confirm the trend** Before entering, look at the overall direction. Only consider coins in an uptrend or consolidation; absolutely avoid falling trends. Is the moving average opening downward? Then forget it, wait and see. For example, mainstream coins like XRP, BTC—wait until the trend is confirmed before acting.
**Step 2: Three-part position building method** Don’t go all-in at once. Divide your prepared funds into three parts, then do the following: - When the price breaks above the 5-day moving average, buy the first part (30% of the position); - When it breaks above the 15-day moving average, buy the second part (another 30%); - When it breaks above the 30-day moving average, buy the last 30%. Each step must wait for the signal to appear; don’t buy early or skip steps. This rhythm is very important.
**Step 3: First layer stop-loss and holding** After buying, the price may pull back. If after breaking the 5-day moving average it doesn’t continue upward but instead retraces—don’t rush to sell. As long as it doesn’t fall below the 5-day moving average, keep holding. Once it breaks below, clear this part of the position—that’s the bottom line.
**Step 4: Second layer entry and exit logic** If the price breaks above the 15-day moving average but stalls or starts to decline—same idea: - If it doesn’t break below the 15-day moving average, continue holding all positions; - Once it breaks below, sell the 30% bought at the 15-day breakout, but keep the 30% bought at the 5-day moving average.
**Step 5: Rhythm of selling at high levels** If the price continues upward and breaks above the 30-day moving average but then starts to pull back—use the reverse logic: gradually sell layer by layer. This is the final profit-taking stage.
**Step 6: Quick stop-loss at high levels** Finally, when selling. If the price is at a relatively high level and falls below the 5-day moving average, first sell the initial 30% position. If the price continues downward without stopping, and all three moving averages (5, 15, 30) are broken, sell everything. Don’t hold onto hope—holding on at this point risks far more than it’s worth.
**Operational points** This system looks simple, but actually implementing it requires two things: patience and discipline. Many people know the rules but just can’t follow through—hesitating to sell when they should, or being afraid to buy when the time comes. Once you enter and establish this trading system, there’s only one way forward—strictly follow the trading plan. This is not a suggestion; it’s a must.
Most successful comeback stories in the crypto space follow a common point: method + persistence. The method doesn’t have to be complicated, but it must be executable. This moving average strategy can be used by both beginners and experienced traders; the key is whether you are willing to truly execute it.

Well said, but the key is still that you can't actually execute it, haha.
Really, I'm the kind of person who knows the rules but can't bear to sell.
The moving average strategy sounds good, but the water in the crypto world is too deep.
70% accuracy? Feels okay, just worried about my mindset collapsing.
Splitting the position into three parts sounds reliable, much more reassuring than going all-in at once.
Discipline is the hardest to maintain, honestly it's a test of human nature.
I think the key is to have a good stop-loss mentality.
This method is suitable for beginners, but how many can really stick to it?
Success stories are all survivor bias, haha.

Sounds good, but I find that most people get stuck at the "can't bear to sell" step, honestly.
---
The moving average strategy is indeed simple, but the problem is that human nature in the crypto circle is too greedy. The discipline promised is completely forgotten during rapid surges.
---
70% accuracy? I doubt that the number of people executing can reach 10%, haha.
---
I've tried the three-part position-building approach, but it's psychologically quite tough, especially when waiting for the third part.
---
The core is still execution. How many times have I heard this? Knowing is easy, doing is hard.
---
It's about moving averages and stop-losses again. It's easy to say, but every time it feels like gambling with psychology, not a technical issue.
---
Why does it feel like I saw this set of ideas three months ago? Just rephrased with a different name.
---
The most critical sentence: You can't bear to sell when it's time to sell, and you're timid when it's time to buy. 90% of people losing money in the crypto circle are stuck in these two traps.
---
People who go all-in probably can't finish reading this article; they've already gone all in.

A good reputation is 70% accuracy, but in actual operation, if your mindset collapses, all efforts are wasted... The key is to keep your hands in check.
When it's really time to sell, you can't sell at all, always waiting for the next breakthrough, only to get trapped deeply.
Building a position with three parts sounds simple, but execution really depends on self-discipline. I often skip steps...
The moving average strategy isn't anything new; the key is not to let emotions control you. It's easy to say but very hard to do.
Ultimately, making money in the crypto world still comes down to discipline. Eight out of ten who try to systematize fail because of their mindset.
This method is indeed feasible, but I'm just worried that knowing it intellectually isn't enough—once real money is on the line, panic sets in.

Paper trading is easy, but real execution is tough, brother.
---
Basically, it's a mindset issue. A 70% accuracy rate sounds good, but can you really be decisive when it comes to stop-loss?
---
I've known about the 30% position-building strategy for a long time. The problem is always thinking, "I'll wait for a better price," but in the end, I never get in.
---
The worst thing isn't having no method, but having a method and still not being able to control your own hands.
---
In the crypto world, there are countless methods, but they all die at the point of execution. Sigh.
---
It looks simple but is actually full of traps. When the 5-day moving average breaks, can you really be willing to sell everything? It hurts.
---
This logic is okay, but it needs to be combined with market conditions. During a bear market, even strict rules are useless.
---
You're right, but there's a premise — you need enough capital to split into three parts. Playing with a small account makes it impossible.

It's easy to say but hard to do; the toughest part is maintaining the right mindset.
---
I've tried this moving average strategy, but I always get cold feet when selling, and I end up losing every time.
---
Listening to the idea of 30% position building sounds good, but in reality, I panic as soon as the coin drops.
---
Relying on discipline? That's probably the most lacking trait in the crypto world.
---
70% accuracy? First, ask how many people can actually stick with it.
---
The main thing is to resist checking the market; once you look, you want to change your plan.
---
It all comes down to emphasizing the importance of discipline; the method is secondary.
---
This strategy is easy to apply in a bull market, but can you survive in a bear market?
---
The reason for not executing is greed when losing money, and fear when making money.
---
The moving average strategy was known at the beginning of the year, but the key is that no one really follows the rules.

70% accuracy? Sounds pretty uncertain, and the key is whether you can hold back and not act.
---
Again, moving averages and position splitting—basically, self-discipline... I just want to know how many people can really do it.
---
The three-part position-building method sounds good, but I'm afraid people will break their promise halfway through.
---
This set of strategies is indeed simple, but simplicity doesn't mean making money... mindset is the hardest part.
---
Strictly following the plan? People in the crypto circle act like they haven't heard it, anyway, they still go all in in the end.
---
Few people make money relying on discipline; most still have a gambler's mentality.
---
It feels like every time someone teaches how to use moving averages, but the ones who actually make money never show up.
---
Insisting on executing this is easy to say, but as soon as a bear market hits, everyone forgets it.
---
No matter how many symbols there are, it can't change a fact: 99% of people simply can't do it.
---
I just want to ask, does this method also have to kneel in extreme market conditions?

Basically, it's psychological warfare. No matter how good the method is, if it can't be executed, it's useless.
If you ask me, the biggest bottleneck is really "sell when it's time to sell." So many people lose out because they can't let go.
This three-part position-building strategy sounds good, but the key is whether it can really be followed step by step. I'm a bit skeptical.
People still believe in moving averages, old-fashioned as they are. But on the other hand, many people have indeed made money, so who knows.
I just want to ask, can this kind of operation really maintain a 70% success rate? Or is it just another story of trapping retail investors?
