After losing 15 million over 8 years, what I gained wasn't talent, but a survival method after stepping on all the pits that needed to be stepped on.

People often ask me how to choose coins and how to make trades. My explanation might be disappointing—my logic is very simple, but it’s these seemingly insignificant things that have kept me from completely disappearing in this circle.

Have you also experienced: the moment the market rises, your fingers are no longer your own, executing trades smoothly, yet your account remains the same. I used to be even more reckless, betting my entire net worth on a "big gamble."

All the discipline earned with real money is now laid out:

**First Trick: Only look for coins on the top gainers list**

Never touch any coin that has no trend, no matter how perfect its backstory. Capital flows have a characteristic—they always gather where the excitement is. If it’s rising, it’s been seen by the market. Things that have never made a sound are almost always traps.

**Second Trick: Forget the hourly chart, focus on the monthly MACD**

Short-term frames are basically gambling. When a golden cross appears, don’t rush to buy; build your position slowly. Before the golden cross appears, keep your hands from moving. Rebounds are like walking on a knife’s edge—lick it ten times and maybe you survive, but the eleventh time, you get cut through.

**Third Trick: Only stick to one line each day—60-day moving average**

As long as it doesn’t break below the 60-day line and volume gradually increases, that’s a real signal to add to your position. The rest of the time is just waiting. The market doesn’t lack anything but patience.

**Fourth Trick: Enter and exit quickly**

Once the support line is broken, turn around and leave—no negotiations. Too many people hold on to floating gains until liquidation, all because of the phrase "wait a bit longer, maybe it will come back."

**Fifth Trick: Take profits in stages**

Take out half your principal when you gain 30%; when it reaches 50%, take half of the profits. This way, you leave a backup plan—if you keep the green mountain, there’s still firewood to burn. Those dreaming of a big turnaround often end up at the foot of the mountain.

**Last trick, this is a lifesaver: When the price falls below the 70-day line, immediately clear your position**

No need to analyze the reasons, no need to argue with the market, and definitely don’t gamble your account balance on your judgment. I’m still in this industry because of this rule.

The more complicated the strategy, the faster it dies in this market. Those who can truly survive multiple bull and bear cycles aren’t some divine predictors, but the kind of execution that’s ingrained in their bones and the emotion control that’s as cold as a machine.

Ten years have witnessed countless geniuses suddenly appear and then vanish just as quickly. There are no myths in the crypto world—only ordinary people who survive. Once groping blindly in the dark, now holding the light in hand. This light will keep shining—are you coming along?
