There are always two core questions in the background: How to pick the worthwhile coins from so many different tokens? And how to determine the entry and exit points?

Honestly, I don't have any secret weapons, nor do I obsess over perfectly buying at the lowest point or selling at the highest point. The whole approach boils down to two words—trend-following and discipline.

This may not make you rich overnight, but it can help you avoid most pitfalls.

My chart-reading habit is quite straightforward. The first thing I do is never to obsess over technical indicators, but to look for "living coins."

I review the top gainers over the past one or two weeks, focusing on those that suddenly pop up, show significant volatility, and have increased trading volume. The reason is simple: where the capital flows, the market may follow. Coins with low trading activity, no matter how cheap their valuation, I won't touch.

Regarding the overall trend, small intraday gains or losses don't hold much power for me. The real determinant of trading success is the monthly chart.

I only include a coin in my key watchlist when the MACD on the monthly chart shows a bullish crossover. It's like confirming that a distant big ship has started its engine; the next step is to choose a good position to board.

Once the direction is confirmed, I go back to the daily chart for precise positioning.

The 60-day moving average is an important reference for me. When the price pulls back to this line and stabilizes, and trading volume responds accordingly, then I seriously consider entering. This cost isn't optimal, but the support below is clear, risks are manageable, and holding positions feels solid.

There’s no room for negotiation on stop-loss rules: once the price effectively breaks below the 60-day moving average, I exit immediately. No hesitation, no excuses.

Preserving capital is the hard truth because as long as you're alive, the next opportunity will come.

When I profit, I don’t get greedy. I take profits in stages when reaching my expected target: lock in some first, treat the rest as an "emotional position," and stay calm. This way, I’m less afraid of small pullbacks.

Some say this method is too conservative or rigid, but after long experience in the crypto world, I understand: the money earned by luck will eventually be lost; only a system can keep you alive.

Long-term adherence to trading discipline is worth far more than a sudden surge of luck.

Having drifted through the waves of the crypto circle before, now my ship is steady at the helm. The ship has always been here—are you ready to board?
