When I first started trading cryptocurrencies, it was a disaster—chasing rallies, panic selling during dips, listening to rumors, stepping into every trap. Only later did I gradually realize: the decision to lose money is often made at the moment of choosing the coin. The market changes rapidly, but human nature remains the same—buying in during big surges, panicking and cutting losses when prices fall.

After some time, I simplified my trading system to just three core principles: "Use strong asset pools to filter noise, identify entry points with trend lines, lock in profits with discipline."

**First step: Check if funds are present before choosing coins**

Don’t bother flipping through thousands of coins; I focus on just two signals. First, look at the top 30 gainers over the past 10 days. Being on this list indicates there’s real money pouring in, which is better than coins that are cold as dead assets. Second, discard coins that have fallen for three days straight with decreasing volume. These are often just pump-and-dump schemes, and rebounds are usually just traps to lure more buyers.

Last year, when the AI concept craze was at its peak, I tried it. Many coins doubled in a day, but only those with increasing trading volume and holding the 5-day moving average during pullbacks (like RNDR, FET during that wave) truly gained momentum. Coins that only rose for a day and then disappeared were almost certainly just schemes to trap retail investors.

**Second step: Use moving averages to find buy points, don’t blindly bottom-fish**

Many people want to buy during big dips, but most end up buying halfway up the mountain. My current standard for buying is simple—wait until the daily chart pulls back to the support level of the moving average before acting. It sounds simple, but few can actually do it.
