Six years of hard work has earned me tens of millions. Sister Mei’s honest words: Don’t overcomplicate crypto trading

I’ve been in this circle for six years, from losing sleep over losses to actually making some money. Many people ask me in the background: “Sister Mei, how do you choose? How do you do it?” Today, I won’t talk about vague theories; I’ll share some straightforward, practical methods I’m currently using—simple but effective.

Let me start with a truth: most people’s losses aren’t due to the market, but because of their own hands and brains. When they see volatility, adrenaline kicks in, and they can’t wait to go all in and “bet big.” But what happens? The market is notorious for defeating all kinds of overconfidence. I used to do this a lot, and looking back, the tuition was painfully expensive.

So, first point: how to pick targets?

I don’t go digging for gold in the sand. Every day, my first glance is at the “Top Gainers” list. The logic is simple: places with attention and heat have more opportunities. What’s the point of buying something dead and dull? Waiting for it to suddenly wake up? That’s too unlikely.

Once I’ve selected my targets, how do I judge the timing? Don’t stare at five-minute or one-hour charts all day; you’ll get dizzy and lose your composure. I pay the most attention to the monthly MACD. When the monthly MACD shows a golden cross, that’s a strong signal worth noting. If not? Just leave it alone. Wasting time watching for every tiny move is emotional drain. Short-term fluctuations are noise; the long-term trend is what you can truly rely on. Always trying to catch the absolute “bottom” often means buying halfway up the mountain.

Second point: how to enter and hold?

I have a lifeline— the 60-day moving average. I check it daily. If the price pulls back and stabilizes near this line, and volume starts to gently increase, that’s my preferred entry or adding point. At this level, you need some courage. When the signal appears, be brave and follow through. The market won’t always give perfect entry points, but these high-probability spots are worth betting on.

After entering, avoid “falling in love” with a position. Don’t develop emotional attachment! I see too many people who’ve already made a profit but keep thinking “it’ll go up a bit more,” only to see it fall back, turning gains into losses, and then fantasize about a rebound. In the end, they exit badly. My rule is: if it’s rising, hold steady; if the closing price drops below the 70-day moving average with no excuse, get out immediately. This rule has saved me countless times. Don’t fight the trend, and don’t gamble your principal out of frustration.

Profit-taking also needs a strategy. Don’t always think about taking every last penny. For example, if you’re up 30%, take out half to recover your principal and let the profits run. When it hits 50%, take out another part. No matter what happens afterward, you’re already in profit. The money you’ve earned is real money.

Ultimately, in this market, complicated strategies rarely last more than three days. The simpler and more direct the rules, the easier they are to follow and the more they can save you. Don’t dream every day of “turning things around overnight”—that’s no different from gambling. The real way to gradually get ahead is to stick to discipline like a fool and control that impulsive, restless heart.

This circle is fair: respect the rules, and the rules will reward you; always relying on luck will only teach you painful lessons in the harshest ways.

I’m Sister Mei, a fellow who sincerely hopes you can avoid unnecessary detours. Stay steady, and we can win.
