Many people are asking one question: how to choose coins and pinpoint the right buying points? To be honest, the method isn't that complicated; the core is three words: stable, accurate, and decisive. If beginners follow this approach, they can indeed avoid many common pitfalls; otherwise, they will only be repeatedly awakened by market lessons.



**Step 1: Find active coins on the gainers list**

Every day at market open, scan the gainers list from the past half month to see which coins have obvious anomalies and upward trends, then add them to your watchlist. The principle is simple—only coins that attract capital attention have the potential to continue strengthening; those that have been sideways for a long time are a waste of time to watch.

**Step 2: A monthly MACD golden cross is the buy signal**

A golden cross indicates that the trend has truly started, and this is the time to enter to earn certain trend-based profits. Never gamble on oversold rebounds—that's purely luck-based with extremely high risk. Follow the clear trend direction, and your chances of success will naturally be much higher.

**Step 3: The 60-day moving average is your "entry pass"**

When the price returns near the 60-day moving average and trading volume significantly increases, consider entering. Don't guess where the bottom is or gamble on the future direction blindly; wait patiently for signals, and act only when they appear. Remember one iron rule: not trading itself is a way to make money; reckless trading is self-destructive.

**Step 4: Have a bottom line after entering**

As long as the trend isn't broken and the support line holds, continue to hold; once the price breaks below a key support, regardless of profit or loss, exit immediately. Many people's painful lessons come from being reluctant to cut losses—going from green in the account to liquidation in an instant due to hesitation. It's better to earn a little less than to suffer a total wipeout.

**Step 5: Take profits in stages; greed is a big taboo**

When profits exceed 30%, reduce half of your position; when it reaches 50%, close the other half. Don't expect to ride out the entire market cycle—it's unrealistic; but accumulating small profits repeatedly can, in the long run, outperform most people.

**Step 6: Clear your position if the price falls below the 60-day moving average**

This rule has saved many times. Whether you've just bought in or are already trapped, once the price drops below the 60-day moving average, decisively exit—no hesitation. Being too gentle with the market often results in painful consequences.

Some people think this method is too "rigid," but the truth of trading is: emotional traders are more likely to get chopped up. Every rule is based on practical experience. Maintaining the trend, key levels, and trading discipline allows you to survive longer and earn more steadily in this market.

Is this set again? I've heard the 60-day moving average rescue theory too many times, and what’s the result... --- Sounds good in theory, but in practice, I still get completely cut up. --- I also believed in the moment of the monthly MACD golden cross, but then... --- Listening to "partial profit-taking" sounds good, but the problem is, I can't actually take profits at all, buddy. --- It's really just armchair strategy; who can strictly follow this? Raise your hand. --- Clearing all positions every day, and after two days of clearing, it hits the daily limit up. I guess I deserve to be a leek. --- The bottom line is nonsense; having money is when there's no bottom line, and that's when you make the most. --- Feels like they’re about to say, "Follow my method and you’ll get rich overnight." --- These big V influencers always say this, and then I get wiped out when I trade—it's really outrageous. --- Isn't the countdown to bankruptcy just me? Haha, bitter smile.

The 60-day moving average really saved me several times. Saying it's rigid actually just means I don't want to get cut. --- Entering on a golden cross sounds simple, but in practice, it's easy to be swayed by emotions. --- I've always struggled with taking profits in batches. I keep wanting to eat more, but end up vomiting everything out. --- Not trading itself is a way to make money. This really hit me; I used to be reckless. --- The ranking of the biggest gainers is indeed useful, but you have to exclude the false gains of those pump-and-dump coins. --- This methodology is fine, but the hard part is, how many people can truly resist trading? --- It's easy to say cut losses immediately when breaking support, but who can be so decisive and actually do it? --- It feels like this is teaching people to become emotionless trading machines.

the 60-day line worship is interesting, but have you actually run statistical significance tests on it? most retail traders just cargo-cult whatever worked once.

It's that old story of the golden cross and the 60-day moving average again. Alright, I'll listen carefully. --- Breaking the 60-day moving average and then selling is definitely correct. I just can't bear to cut my losses and got trapped. --- Feels quite right, but when you're actually in the market, you forget everything. Discipline is still essential. --- I agree with the idea of taking profits in stages. Greed is indeed the fastest way to get wrecked. --- Wait for the MACD golden cross signal before entering? Just listen to that, I can't wait that long. --- It's easier said than done. How many people can really stick to this strategy? --- Finding active coins on the gainers list is a good idea. I'll try it at tomorrow's open. --- If the price breaks below the support line, you must clear your position. That's true—brutal lessons learned. --- Reminds me of the last time I got trapped. You still need to have a stop-loss in place.
