Over these eight years, my biggest realization is: discipline and patience are always the most scarce qualities in this market.

From an initial five-figure account to now a seven-figure one, honestly, it’s not because I’m particularly clever. Quite the opposite—having stepped on enough pits and lost enough money to hurt, that’s what has brought me to this point. Every simple rule I follow has been learned through real money lessons.

People often ask me, how do you choose coins and make trades? The methods aren’t that complicated; the real challenge is whether you can execute them every day like a machine. I want to share a few "silly rules" I’ve summarized over the years; maybe they can help you.

**Active coins are worth playing, dead coins should be avoided**

In my early years, I was also obsessed with fundamental analysis, staying up late studying whitepapers. Later, I realized that in today’s crypto market, the flow of funds is much more important than the technology itself. My current standard for choosing coins is: the monthly MACD golden cross. Coins without a golden cross, no matter how hot the rally, I won’t touch; I just stay on the sidelines.

Don’t be fooled by those one-day surges. The real big opportunities are hidden in long-term trends. Instead of holding onto "dead coins" with no movement, it’s better to focus on "active coins" that already have funds entering. Looking at the top gainers is actually the most direct filtering method—if a coin can make it onto the top gainers list, it at least indicates that funds are positioning, and that’s the signal you should pay attention to.

**Moving averages are my trading navigation**

When I was young, I was also obsessed with ultra-short-term trading, but I eventually realized that was just helping exchanges earn commissions. Now, my entire system is built around the 60-70 day moving average. When the price retraces to the 70-day line, it’s often a noteworthy opportunity.
