After 8 years of rolling in the cryptocurrency market, from someone who knew nothing to building a wealth of about a million U, I realized one important thing: success does not come from luck, but from lessons that must be paid for with real losses.

Many people ask me: How do you choose coins? What trading method do you use?
The answer is: the secret to making money often lies in very small details that are often overlooked.

1. The Biggest Mistake of Newbies: Seeing Price Fluctuate and Jumping In

Most investors lose money for a familiar reason: Seeing the market fluctuate and rushing to place orders.

The result is usually:

  • Buying the peak in excitement

  • Selling the bottom in panic

  • In the end, it's either burning out your account or heavy losses

I have also made this mistake. Looking back, I see that I acted entirely based on emotions, without a system, without discipline. And the market never compromises with emotions.

2. How I Choose Coins: Always Start From The Rising Coin List

When choosing coins, I always start from the list of coins that are increasing in price.

The reason is very simple:

  • Coins on the rise → the market is paying attention

  • There is cash flow → there is liquidity → there are opportunities

Conversely, those coins:

  • Staying still for many months

  • No volume

  • No story

…often just wastes your time and opportunities.

👉 Money only flows to where there is movement, not to where it is dormant.

3. Market Analysis: Don't Just Look at K-Line

Many people only focus on short-term candlestick charts, but overlook an extremely important factor: MACD on the monthly timeframe.

My principle:

  • Monthly MACD shows a golden crossover → enter decisively

  • No crossover yet → patiently wait

I absolutely do not catch bottoms just because the price has dropped sharply. Those “bounces” after a deep drop are often low probability but very high risk.

4. 60–70 Day Moving Average: Focus Each Day

Every day, I always monitor:

  • 60-day moving average

  • Price range around 70 days

The strategy is very clear:

  • Price adjusts close to MA 70

  • Trading volume increases
    👉 I will decisively increase my position

The market always offers opportunities to those who are prepared, not to those who are hasty.

5. Entering an Order Doesn't Mean You Have to Stay

Another common mistake is:

“Once bought, it must be held at all costs.”

I don't do that.

My principle:

  • Price increases → continue to hold

  • Price breaks below important support → sell immediately, without hesitation

Many people, unable to cut losses, always hope that “the price will come back,” and the result is:

  • Profits turn into losses, small losses turn into big losses.

6. Take Profits with Rhythm, Not Greed

I never all-in or all-out at once.

My profit-taking method:

  • Profit 30% → sell 50% of the position

  • Profit 50% → sell the remaining part

I accept:

  • Selling early

  • Missing the peak

Because in the market, opportunities are always there, but accounts are not.

7. The Most Important Principle: Breaking MA 70 Means Exit Immediately

This is my iron rule:

Price falls below the 70-day moving average → exit all positions

No explanation.
No hope.
No pity.

Surviving long-term in the market is more important than being right in a few trades.

8. Conclusion: Making Money Is Not Hard, Keeping Money Is the Hard Part

8 years in the crypto market taught me that:

  • There is no holy grail

  • There is no get-rich-quick formula

  • Only discipline, probability, and risk management

These experiences do not come from books, but are paid for with real money and painful lessons.

If you read this far, remember one thing:

The market always exists. The important thing is whether you are still around to seize opportunities or not.

Patience, discipline, and respect for market rules – that is the long-term path to survive and thrive in crypto.
