How to spot winning trades? Stan Weinstein's framework offers a systematic approach that traders still reference today. The method breaks down into five key pillars:

First, assess the macro environment—strong overall market trend sets the foundation. Next, identify the strongest performing sectors or asset groups; relative strength matters more than individual picks. Third, wait for bullish chart patterns to confirm entry momentum. Fourth, check for clean price action above key resistance levels; overhead supply should be minimal. Finally, place your buy-stop orders at high-volume breakout zones.

The psychology here is straightforward: buying winners in winning markets during confirmed technical setups minimizes risk and maximizes probability. Volume confirmation separates real breakouts from fakeouts. Whether trading stocks or crypto assets, this selection recipe remains timeless—find the trend, follow the leaders, and let technical structure guide entries.

Basically, it's about going with the flow, following the leading sectors, and confirming with trading volume. This theory also applies to the crypto world, but it's hard to execute...

Honestly, Weinstein has been copied to death long ago. Who in the market doesn't know? The problem is, knowing is one thing, but when it comes to execution, there are still all kinds of failures. In the crypto world, it's even more ridiculous. When trading volume increases at high levels, it means the main players are offloading. Don't keep chasing the highs, damn it.

Honestly, this set of theories sounds good, but in real operation it's not that simple at all. --- It's that old, worn-out stuff again. The key is execution, brother. --- High-position bagholders feel really heartbroken. I've always been tripping over volume confirmation. --- I remain silent when I see chasing highs and selling lows... --- It sounds very professional, but why do I still lose money even when I follow it? --- The relatively strong momentum is indeed crucial. Most people get stuck chasing stocks. --- By the time it really hits the breakout, I've already been shaken out. --- It sounds impressive when explained, but it hurts to do. Who can truly stick to this process? --- What’s the use of a clear trend? I just lack the feeling of making money.

Honestly, this framework has been overused for a long time, but the key is still the mindset... I'm just too greedy, always wanting to earn more, and as a result, I often get caught at the top, uh no, I mean washed out.

To be honest, Weinstein's framework sounds good, but in the crypto world, actual implementation still depends on luck and mental resilience.

It's the same old tired theory again. Every bull market, someone pulls it out to fool new investors [cold laugh]. Data shows that for retail investors who follow this framework, 90% of stop-losses are wiped out. Interestingly, during Weinstein's era, there were no high-frequency algorithms. Now they are being used? Ironically, every time in history, people say "this time is different," but in the end, it's all the same losses. Objectively speaking, those who truly make money are not the ones chasing highs blindly, but the few who dare to operate in the opposite direction.
