To succeed in short-term trading, you first need to learn to make independent judgments and execute them. Don't rely on waiting for a signal from a certain influencer—by then, the opportunity will have already flown away.
For fundamental analysis, I recommend paying attention to MACD, especially when it shows a bearish crossover, you should consider reducing your position. Price action analysis is also useful; support and resistance levels can help you find better exit points.
Here’s a reminder: many coins can drop sharply at any time, you know what I mean. If you have profits, don’t be greedy. Set take-profit points in advance or use trailing stops to protect your gains—don’t let the money you’ve earned slip away.
Trading methods are very personal. My approach may not suit you; the key is to find a rhythm that works for you.
If you choose to hold long-term, pick projects you’re willing to hold for 3 to 5 years, and don’t mess around in the middle. If a certain KOL mentioned a coin but you can’t hold it long-term, I advise you not to touch it.
To sum up: trading ultimately depends on your own judgment and execution. Manage your risks well and stick to your plan. Let’s keep going.

That's right, following trend-following influencers' signals is just asking for trouble; I've been cut already. You still have to rely on your own chart analysis—when MACD crosses down, it's time to run, don't be greedy.

Well said, another "don't follow the trend" good morning, but there are still a bunch of people who can't hold on. I already sold off when MACD crossed down, just afraid it will rise again later.

That's right, following signals is outdated. You need to think for yourself.
When MACD crosses down, I run. I've used this trick before, and it still works to some extent. Just be ruthless with take-profit and stop-loss orders; otherwise, watching profits shrink is really painful.
The key is attitude, really. Greed can be deadly.

Basically, you still need to think for yourself. Following the trend of bloggers is outdated, and opportunities wait for no one.
Take profit and stop loss really need to be set; otherwise, it’s really uncomfortable to give back the gains. I have deep personal experience.
For long-term investing, stick to it. Don’t be indecisive. If you insist on chasing a KOL coin, then you deserve to be trapped.

Well said, independent judgment is crucial, following trend signals is just the rhythm of getting chopped.
I usually exit immediately on MACD bearish cross; those who don't believe in it have all lost money.
And also, everyone, really, those gap-up coins are no joke. I didn't react once and lost several points while sleeping. Taking profits is really something you can't skimp on.
For long-term, I hold stubbornly; otherwise, it's better to do short-term trading.

That's right, following influencers' signals is just giving others a knife to harvest your gains. You still need to watch the market yourself and make your own judgments. The MACD bearish crossover to reduce positions has proven to be reliable time and again. The main thing is not to be greedy; take profits and run, or you'll be wiped out in a single gap.

Well said, but too many people wait for signals and end up losing money. By then, it's already time to exit.
Don't be foolishly waiting for KOLs; you need to use your own judgment. When MACD crosses downward and turns red, it's time to consider exiting.
As for taking profits, really, how many people watch their profits evaporate with their eyes wide open? Greed for just one more point causes them to give it all back in the end.
Long-term investments must be held firmly. Projects that can't let you sleep peacefully for 3 to 5 years shouldn't be touched.

There's nothing wrong with that, but most people are unable to make independent judgments.
Following trend-following influencers' signals makes you a rookie.
When MACD crosses downward, I immediately clear my position and don't expect a rebound.
Good morning everyone
