Many people often ask me how to choose coins and how to make trades to make money. To be honest, my current method is actually very simple — it’s these seemingly basic things that are the key to surviving and making money.

Thinking back on my 8 years of experience, I used to get excited whenever the market moved a bit more, wanting to "rush in," then make a series of reckless trades, only to get liquidated and lose everything. That was really stupid. Now I understand that 99% of losses come from entering the market at the wrong times.

Today, I want to share these years’ "tricks" with everyone. Those who dare to follow them should be able to avoid many detours.

**The First Principle of Coin Selection**

Every time I choose coins, I start with the gainers list. Why? It’s simple — only coins that have already risen have an active market, and there will be subsequent opportunities and trading volume. If a coin hasn’t moved at all, why buy it?

**Choosing Technical Indicators**

Don’t always focus on the daily K-line; I pay more attention to the MACD on the monthly chart. When a golden cross appears, I go in directly. If there’s no golden cross, I stay in cash. The benefit of this approach is that it helps you avoid many low-probability oversold rebound traps. The daily chart can tell you about short-term fluctuations, but the real profit opportunities are often hidden in long-term trends.

Every day, I pay the most attention to the 60-day moving average. When the price retraces near the 70-day moving average and trading volume starts to increase, I dare to add to my position. At this point, confidence is most needed. The market will give signals eventually — when the signal appears, stay steady; if not, keep waiting.

**The Rhythm of Entry and Exit Is Critical**

After entering a position, I never hold on stubbornly. When the price rises, I hold; if it breaks below a certain line, I sell immediately. Many people lose because they can’t let go — they keep hoping for a rebound, but end up watching their profits turn into losses.

Profit-taking should also follow a rhythm. Don’t try to take all the gains at once. Take half at a 30% increase, then take another half at 50%. Remember, the market is always changing. Missing this wave is okay — the next opportunity will come.

**The Most Important Survival Rule**

If it breaks below the 70-day moving average, get out immediately. This is a rule I follow for every trade. No matter how long you hold, the signal is the signal. Don’t fight the market, don’t gamble with your own life. This rule is truly the key to my survival.

In the crypto world, the simpler, the better — it’s easier to execute. Don’t always think about "turning it around in one shot." The real profit comes from consistently following discipline and controlling emotions. This 1.48 million USDT isn’t luck — it’s the result of countless stop-losses and nights of self-discipline.
