Simplicity is power; stability is the key to making money.

To be honest, every time I scroll through trading communities, it's the same old story—someone misses out, someone buys right before a dip. These brothers pour real money into it, yet they keep making the same mistakes. It’s enough to make you worry for them.

I've been in this market for over five years, from the initial rush and panic selling to now being able to make steady moves. It’s not about any mysterious insider info or advanced predictions. You might not believe it—it's just six simple "clumsy methods." Today, I’ll lay all of them out in detail, hoping to help everyone pay less tuition.

**Rule 1: Focus on active coins, avoid those with no popularity**

The first thing I look at when the market opens isn’t how the price moves, but trading volume and popularity. Choosing coins is like choosing fish—you want the ones that are lively and jumping in the water, not dead fish.

My specific screening criteria are as follows—I focus on two types: one is coins with regular volatility, not those that spike erratically; the other is coins with recent obvious increases in trading volume, but prices haven’t started to skyrocket yet. As for coins that have been sideways for half a year with barely any trading volume, I skip them directly. Targets that lack capital attention are like restaurants with no customers—you won’t get any even if you wait a year, so there’s no point wasting time on them.

Remember this iron law: where the capital flows, there’s opportunity. I also look at data like the Fear and Greed Index and on-chain capital flows to gauge market temperature and rhythm.

**Rule 2: The monthly chart is the judge; don’t be fooled by intraday noise**

The biggest trap for beginners is watching every minute’s price fluctuations. Getting excited and chasing highs when prices rise, panicking and cutting losses when they fall. This is completely being led by short-term market volatility. You need to learn to zoom out—the monthly chart shows that those intraday jumps are just noise.
