After many years of trading, I have a particularly deep insight—those who can stand firm in the crypto world and make money are not at all relying on luck. It’s more about proactive action than just investing.

Many people ask me how to choose coins. My method is actually simple, but it requires consistent execution. Not looking at the price movement rankings before opening a position is like going overseas without checking the weather—eventually, you'll get swept away by the market. The first thing I do when the market opens each day is to pull up the recent two-week price change rankings, focusing only on coins with sudden volume and price surges—those obscure coins with no activity, no matter how good their story, I give up on; only targets with active main funds will truly bring opportunities to your doorstep.

Regarding the overall trend judgment, I never rely on guesses. The monthly chart is my decision basis. The daily fluctuations are just noise; the real trend waves are hidden in the monthly chart. When the monthly MACD forms a golden cross, it’s like a big ship starting its engine or a chariot beginning to charge—at this moment, choosing to get on board is not gambling, but truly riding the trend.

On the execution level, I value the 60-day moving average the most—this is my lifeline. As long as the coin price retraces to the 60-day line and trading volume significantly increases, I decisively add to my position. Why? Because the cost is low, and the support is solid. Even sleeping with the position is reassuring.

But the key is the discipline of stop-loss. Once the price falls below the 60-day line, my approach is unconditional liquidation—no excuses, no matter how much profit I previously made, I must exit. Many get caught here because they’re reluctant to cut losses, ultimately getting reversed and beaten.

For take-profit, strict discipline is also essential. When floating profits reach 30%, sell half to lock in gains; when it hits 50%, sell another half. The remaining position is entirely driven by profits, shifting the mindset from tension to relaxation, no longer being dragged around by every candle’s fluctuation.

Ultimately, making money depends on effective strategies, but preserving profits relies entirely on discipline. Traders without discipline are like explorers without a map—they will end up lost.
