It’s all tears to talk about. A few years ago, I did the same stupid thing—chasing whatever was hot at the moment, and my account was so deep in the red I started to doubt life itself. Looking back and analyzing it, I realized that at least 80% of those losses were because I made brainless picks when choosing assets.

After grinding in this space for so long, I’ve managed to simplify those hair-pulling complex analysis frameworks into three tricks. You don’t have to slog through stacks of technical analysis books, nor do you need to stay up all night staring at candlesticks. This method has saved me a lot of tuition fees, and I’m sharing it directly today.

First, the most crucial point: this market is never short on opportunities—most people just don’t know how to avoid traps. Now, when I filter assets, I use just three steps, as simple as it gets:

**Step One: Narrow down to active pools.**
Only pick from the top 50 assets with the highest gains in the past 11 trading days. Making it onto this list at least proves that short-term capital is paying attention, which is way better than blindly fishing in those unpopular, dead pools. It’s like choosing a partner—you’d look at someone who’s being chased by others, right? At least it shows they have value.

**Step Two: Identify capital outflow signals.**
Dropped for three consecutive days? Just delete it. Don’t tell me it’s a shakeout—what you’re hearing is money running away. I’ve seen too many of these cases, and most of them go on to drop another 30% or more. If you don’t want to be left holding the bag, just stay away.

**Step Three: Lock in long-term trends.**
Only keep the assets where the monthly MACD is crossing upward from the bottom. I call this the “big money entry switch.” Daily indicators can be manipulated easily, but monthly signals are footprints of large funds. I’ve seen plenty of cases double based on this, and the stability is top-notch.

But this is just the beginning. Picking the right asset doesn’t guarantee profits—if your entry timing is off, it’s all for nothing. I made this mistake in my early years, always hoping for a lower price, only to miss out or chase at the top and get stuck.
