It's all fans asking: "Brother Wei, what does stable profit feel like? Is it true that you can rake in a few hundred U every day with your eyes closed and earn 20% monthly?" Every time I see this question, I want to laugh and feel heartbroken. Back then, I jumped into the crypto market with this fantasy, only to lose all my savings and end up in debt, almost forcing myself to stay up all night with my eyes wide open until dawn. Looking back now, those days of ecstasy, collapse, and late-night smoking on the balcony have long become fleeting memories; trading for me is no longer a gamble for life, but just a routine operation in life.
First, let’s break a common misconception: stable profits ≠ daily profits, and it definitely ≠ a shortcut to wealth.
Remember the recent table tennis events? We assumed the gold medal was secure, but watching the whole process revealed that every match was nerve-wracking—Fan Zhendong lost the first two games, and Wang Chuqin was unexpectedly eliminated; the team match was decided only at the final ball. 'Stable profits' in the crypto market are like the victories of the national team: behind seemingly random wins lies a solid probability advantage, not an overwhelming absolute victory. I’ve seen too many traders who lose a trade and get red-eyed trying to make up for it, resulting in deeper losses; I’ve also seen others who make a few profits and get carried away, over-leveraging and directly blowing up their accounts. True stable profit-makers are never afraid of short-term losses—just like the national team can bounce back after losing a game, we can lock in losses based on rules even if we lose a few trades, and when the market aligns with the system again, we’ll seize the big profits.
In simple terms, the core of stable profits has never been about 'how much you earn,' but rather 'how much you lose' + 'timing it right.'
You must have had this experience: when the market aligns with your trading logic, everything you buy goes up; it’s like having a god’s perspective; but when the market changes, no matter how you operate, you lose. At this point, don’t stubbornly hold on—my lifesaving secret is simple: if it doesn’t fit the system? Just shut down, take a walk with the dog, drink tea, or binge-watch shows; absolutely don’t get tempted to trade! When the next wave of market conditions that fit the rules comes, you’ll still be in the game and have bullets left; that’s enough. Small profits, small losses, never big losses, and occasional big profits; stretch the timeline, you’ll be the 'survivor' in the market, and even more so, a winner.
Talk is cheap; today I’ll share a solid strategy MA60+MACD combination, taking ETH as an example; even beginners can get started:
Watch the 30-minute K-line chart: only go long above the MA60 moving average, and only go short below it (if the direction is wrong, all efforts are in vain; this is a hard rule);
Switch to the 5-minute K-line chart and wait for two conditions before taking action: a. MACD forms a golden cross below the 0 axis; b. After the golden cross, the fast line approaches the slow line but does not form a death cross, instead it rises again (the red bars show a 'long-short-long' pattern);
Stop-loss settings: below the previous support level or previous wave low, leave an extra 5-10 points as a buffer (don’t be stingy with this little space; stop-loss is a lifesaver, not a money-saving tool);
Take-profit target: 1.5-2 times fixed take-profit (don’t be greedy; securing profits is eternal truth; I’ve seen too many people turn profits into losses just because of greed for a few points).
When I wrote this article, ETH happened to show this pattern—I directly opened a light position of 20 contracts, with stop-loss and take-profit all set (don’t ask me why I dare to show it; my core system is not this, but I never boast; following through is the baseline for an analyst). As for whether I made a profit in the end? It’s really not important. What’s important is that every operation adheres to the rules; even if there are short-term losses, I won't panic and play recklessly—this is the foundation for stable profits.
Back when I blew up my account, I always felt the market was targeting me; now I realize that what defeats you is not the market, but your uncontrollable emotions and rule-breaking operations. Those who shout 'wealth' every day mostly perish before dawn; while those who can endure until 'the light boat has passed through ten thousand mountains' are the ones who engrave 'controlling losses' deep into their bones.
