From Red to Green: A 7-Year Journey in Cryptocurrency Trading

Navigating the crypto markets for seven years has taught me one undeniable truth:

Success isn't about luck. It's about knowledge and self-control.

My initial three years were a financial nightmare. I hemorrhaged over 100k.

That's right, a six-figure sum. Evaporated.

My confidence crumbled repeatedly, like a sandcastle against the tide.

I questioned everything - my decisions, my abilities, my very essence.

But I refused to throw in the towel.

I embraced the pain, scrutinized the charts, and dissected my errors with the precision of a forensic analyst examining a crime scene.

Gradually, I clawed my way back from the abyss.

I recouped my losses - and then some, amassing several hundred more.

Same market. Same tools. Just a transformed mindset.

And the lesson I learned can be distilled into one harsh reality:

Market patterns recur. But 99% of traders? They keep making the same mistakes.

🧠 90% react to headlines. They chase green candles. They panic sell on red.

👀 9% mimic big players, hoping someone else holds the key.

🔥 1%? They simply follow moving averages - coolly, calmly, methodically.

Let me share how I joined the 1%.

Step 1: Treat Moving Averages as Your Closest Allies

I view my MAs as specialists in a medical team:

5-day: The ER doctor - quick, responsive, captures the immediate pulse.

30-day: The general practitioner - steady, cautious, but ready to act when needed.

60-day: The consultant - slow to react, but when they do, it's significant.

When the 5-day crosses above both the 30 and 60?

It's either a launch signal - or a critical alert.

Either way, I pay attention.

When the 5-day plunges below them? I'm already out. No questions asked.

Step 2: Emotions Don't Equal Strategy

Engrave this on your monitor, etch it into your trading journal:

"When MAs intertwine, the prudent stay sidelined."

If the 5 and 30 are tangled like spaghetti, that's not a trade - it's a gamble.

True market hunters? They bide their time.

They don't act until all three MAs align.

Only then do they make their move.

Step 3: Discipline Is Your Edge

Strategies on paper are meaningless if you can't execute them in real-time.

Most traders falter at the first sign of resistance and rewrite their plan mid-trade.
