Many traders want to find systematic methods for selecting coins and catching buy points. In fact, the core principles are not complicated—it's all about stability, accuracy, and execution. Following the process can help avoid many detours; otherwise, you are often repeatedly taught lessons by the market.



**Step 1: Find active assets from the gainers list**

Check the gainers list over the past half month, and add coins with abnormal upward movements to your watchlist. The direction where capital is gathering will form a trend. Coins that have been sideways for a long time are not worth paying attention to. The purpose of this step is to lock in market hotspots.

**Step 2: Wait for the monthly MACD to show a golden cross**

A golden cross signal indicates that the trend has officially started. Profiting from the trend has a much higher probability than betting on a rebound. Don’t try to bottom fish at oversold levels, as that carries great risk and often results in losses.

**Step 3: Use the 60-day moving average as an entry reference**

When the price pulls back to the 60-day moving average and volume increases, consider entering the market. If no clear signal appears, continue waiting—patience is actually a way to make money. Blindly jumping in will only increase the chance of losses.

**Step 4: Stop loss immediately upon breakdown**

Keep holding as long as the trend remains intact. Once the price breaks below a key support level, decisively exit regardless of whether you are in profit or loss. It’s better to cut losses timely than to drag on; preserving capital gives you a chance to turn things around.

**Step 5: Take partial profits to avoid greed**

When profits reach 30%, reduce half of your position. When it reaches 50%, reduce half of the remaining position. Reaping small gains multiple times accumulates over the long term, making your overall returns more objective.

**Step 6: Exit completely if the 60-day moving average is broken**

This rule has repeatedly helped avoid large losses. Once the price falls below this vital line, don’t hold any illusions—exit decisively. Being soft on the market often results in heavy costs.

This method may seem like a "rigid" set of rules, but precisely because of its mechanical nature, it can prevent disasters caused by emotional trading. Emotional trading is easy to get cut by; rationally following rules, following the trend, controlling key support and resistance levels, and strictly adhering to discipline are the right ways to achieve sustained profits in this market.

Sounds good, but when it comes to actually executing, I start to get itchy again.

That's right, discipline is everything. I'm a bit curious, what percentage of people can truly stick to this process... I guess most people forget after reading, and when the market drops, they just can't stop themselves. The idea of reducing positions by 30% is pretty good, much more reliable than my previous reckless buying and selling.

Exactly right, but the execution is really exhausting.

That's right, but most people fail here when it comes to execution.

Speaking of which, this process indeed has no issues, but it's extremely difficult to execute. It sounds easy, but in reality, you really have to hold on. Most people tend to make reckless moves out of FOMO.
