Many beginners ask me how to choose coins and find entry points. Honestly, it all boils down to three words: stable, accurate, ruthless.

Follow this approach, and you can avoid many detours. If you ignore it? The market will teach you with bloody lessons. These are practical methods I’ve summarized from years of experience and struggles. Master them, and you can surpass most retail investors.

**Tip 1: Find active coins from the gainers list**

Open the gainers list for the past half month. Coins with abnormal volume surges and upward movements are worth adding to your watchlist. Remember one thing: only coins with continuous capital inflow can strengthen. Those that have been sideways for a long time? Watching them for too long is just a waste of time and patience.

**Tip 2: Wait for MACD monthly golden cross**

A golden cross indicates the start of a trend. Entering at this point means you’re aiming for more reliable profits. Never gamble on oversold rebounds—that’s just luck, with risks terrifyingly high. Follow the main trend, and your win rate can increase several times.

**Tip 3: The 60-day moving average is your entry signal**

Wait for the price to retrace to the 60-day moving average, with trading volume increasing. This is the time to consider entering. Don’t guess where the bottom is or gamble on the direction of rise or fall. If there’s no signal, stay on the sidelines. Only act when there’s a clear signal. Many people get caught up in overtrading—actually, doing nothing is also a way to make money.

**Tip 4: Exit immediately when the trend breaks**

As long as the trend and support line are intact, hold on. But once the support level is broken, regardless of profit or loss, exit immediately. Many people are reluctant to do so, and end up losing everything. I’d rather earn less than hold on and get wiped out.

**Tip 5: Take profits when gains are good, sell in batches**

Take half off when you gain over 30%. When it reaches 50%, sell the other half. Don’t try to capture the entire market wave. Small profits accumulated multiple times can lead to better long-term returns.

**Tip 6: Exit when the 60-day line is broken**

This rule has saved me countless times. Whether you just bought in or have been trapped for a long time, once the price falls below the 60-day moving average, clear everything out—no hesitation, no luck-based thinking.

Some say this method is too “mechanical.” Actually, it’s the opposite—the more you trade based on feelings, the easier you get caught. Every rule here is built from losses and experience. Follow the trend, hold key supports, and strictly follow discipline. That’s how money can be made in the crypto world.

Markets fluctuate daily, but as long as you protect your principal and stick to your principles, you will naturally stand firm when the next cycle arrives.
