Hello everyone, today I want to share some practical insights.

To be honest, I’ve fallen quite a few times in this market. When the market moves, my heartbeat races, and I can’t stop trading. After a series of operations, my account was wiped out. It was only later that I realized a key point—those who make money in the market are never the ones with fancy tricks, but those with discipline. These years of experience gained with real money, I’m sharing with you today.

**Tip 1: Choose coins based on capital footprints, don’t chase "potential stocks"**

Many people like to hunt for those "dark horse coins" that no one is paying attention to, but I never do that. My approach is straightforward—go straight to the top gainers.

Why? It’s simple. Coins without capital attention are unlikely to have potential. Conversely, coins that have already risen must have a reason—either fundamental changes or early capital sniffing out opportunities. Our role is to be "surfers," riding the waves of capital forward, not digging for treasures on the beach.

What indicators do I look at? Trading volume and turnover rate. When a coin suddenly sees a surge in trading volume and turnover rate, that’s a signal. For example, some coins add local fiat trading pairs on certain exchanges, causing trading volume to multiply several times. That’s when you should pay attention. Capital never lies.

**Tip 2: Don’t overdo the indicators, monthly MACD is enough**

There are thousands of indicators out there, dazzling your eyes. My advice is to simplify.

I only look at the monthly MACD. When it shows a golden cross, I buy; when it shows a death cross, I sell. That’s it. You might say, isn’t that too rough? But in fact, roughness has its advantages—it filters out most of the noise in the market.

Many people like to bet on rebounds, thinking they’ve bottomed out. But often, they’re only at the halfway point. There’s still a decline ahead. MACD reacts slowly, but it can tell you the overall trend direction. Once you have the trend, the risk becomes lower.

Don’t try to time the market precisely—that’s a false proposition. Most failures are not because you entered late, but because the trend wasn’t established when you entered.

**Tip 3: Strict risk management is the secret to long-term survival**

This is the most critical point. The first two tips are about how to select coins and interpret the trend, but this one is about how to stay alive longer.

Don’t dream of tenfold returns in one shot. Low-probability events do exist, but relying on them for retirement? Don’t be silly. Consistent, stable gains come from controlling risk every time—don’t over-leverage, set stop-losses properly, and take profits in stages.

I’ve seen too many talented traders make a killing in one wave, only to lose everything in the next. The reason is that after making money, they become arrogant and forget about risk management.

To sum up, three sentences: follow the capital, watch the big trend, and stay within your risk limits. Doing these three will at least prevent you from losing too much in this market. Those who can profit steadily are often not the smartest, but the most disciplined.
