I have been trading cryptocurrencies for 3 years, growing my initial capital of 50,000 to 10 million.
1:) HODL Method: Suitable for bull and bear markets.
The HODL method is the simplest yet the most challenging strategy. It’s simple because it involves buying a specific coin or a few coins and holding them for over six months or a year without trading. Essentially, the minimum return is typically tenfold. However, beginners often get tempted by high returns or panic when the price of a coin drops significantly and consider selling or switching coins. Many find it hard to hold for even a month, let alone a year. This is why it can also be the most difficult.
2:) Buy the Dip Method: Suitable only for bull markets.
Use a portion of spare cash, preferably not exceeding one-fifth of your total funds. This strategy is suitable for coins with a market cap between 20 and 100, as you won't be stuck for too long. For example, if you buy the first altcoin and it rises by 50% or more, you can then switch to the next coin that has dropped sharply, and so on. If your first altcoin is stuck, just wait; in a bull market, it will definitely recover. The premise is that the selected coins shouldn’t be too risky, and this method can be hard to control, so beginners should be cautious.
3:) Hourglass Switching Method: Suitable for bull markets.
In a bull market, almost any coin you buy tends to rise. The funds act like a giant hourglass, slowly flowing into each coin, starting with large coins. There’s a clear pattern to price increases: leading coins like BTC, ETH, DASH, and ETC rise first, followed by mainstream coins like LTC, XMR, EOS, NEO, and QTUM. After that, underperforming coins like RDN, XRP, ZEC tend to rise simultaneously, followed by various smaller coins taking turns to increase. However, if Bitcoin rises, you should choose the next tier of coins that haven’t risen yet before starting to build your position.
4:) Pyramid Bottom-Fishing Method: Suitable for anticipated major drops.
Bottom-fishing method: Place orders to buy one-tenth of your position at 80% of the coin price, one-fifth at 70%, one-third at 60%, and one-fourth at 50%.
5:) Moving Average Method: You need to understand some basic candlestick patterns.
Set indicator parameters to MA5, MA10, MA20, MA30, MA60, and select a daily chart. If the current price is above the MA5 and MA10, hold your position. If MA5 drops below MA10, sell the coin. If MA5 rises above MA10, buy and build your position.
