Having been in the crypto space for 8 years, from the initial frequent liquidation to now stable profits, I want to say—there's really no such thing as luck; it's just about doing some simple things repeatedly and correctly.

People often ask me how to choose coins and how to place orders. To be honest, the methods I use now may seem very basic, but precisely these "commonplace" things are the ones that can truly make money.

Why do many people lose money? Because they can't sit still when the market moves, insisting on rushing in for a "big push." As a result, they make aggressive moves like a tiger, and finally their accounts blow up. I used to do the same, and looking back, I feel quite embarrassed.

Today, I’ll share some real, effective methods. If you're willing to try, think them over carefully:

**Coin selection logic is crucial**

I always start by looking at the gainers list. Why? Because coins that have already risen have high market activity, which means real trading opportunities. If a coin has never moved, why buy it?

The key is not to stare at the daily K-line all day. I pay more attention to the monthly MACD performance—if there's a golden cross, I go straight into the market; if not, I stay in cash and wait patiently. Daily charts only tell you about short-term fluctuations; the real opportunities are hidden in long-term trends. Those relying on gambling on oversold rebounds are usually high-risk, low-probability events, with about 90% resulting in losses.

**Moving averages are the tools I focus on most**

The 60-day and 70-day moving averages are what I watch almost every day. When the price retraces to near the 70-day moving average and volume clearly increases, that's when I dare to add positions. The key is to trust that the market will give you opportunities; when the signal appears, hold steady, and if not, keep waiting.

Once in the market, I never fight the trend. If the price rises, I hold; if it breaks below a key level, I sell immediately. Many people's problem is "not wanting to leave," always hoping for a rebound, but this turns gains into losses and makes them anxious.

**Taking profits at the right pace is very important**

Don’t try to take all the gains at once. When it rises 30%, I cut half; at 50%, I cut another half. This way, the plan is clear. Remember, the market is always changing. Missing this opportunity is okay; there will be others.

**The most fundamental rule: sell immediately if it breaks below the 70-day moving average**

This is a rule I strictly follow for every trade. No matter how long you've held, if this line breaks, you must exit. Don’t fight the market, and don’t gamble with yourself. This rule has saved me countless times.

In the crypto world, simplicity is best—it makes execution easier. Don’t always think about turning the tide with a big reversal. The real way to make money is by sticking to discipline and managing your emotions.

All these lessons come from real losses I’ve experienced. The crypto space isn’t harsh on obedient traders, but for those who don’t understand the rules and rely on gut feelings, the lessons can be very brutal.
