Making money in the crypto world is not as difficult as you imagine; the key is to understand the market’s temperament. I have summarized 10 most practical trading rules, not some profound theories, but blood-and-tears experiences after walking through pitfalls and paying tuition fees.

**Regarding the rhythm of rise and fall:** When a strong coin drops for 9 consecutive days at a high level, it’s often a signal to get on board. Conversely, any coin that rises for two days in a row should be considered for reducing positions—don’t be greedy. Coins that increase by more than 7% can be continued to watch the next day, don’t rush to buy.

**About volatility and trends:** If a coin shows no significant movement for three consecutive days, wait another three days. If there’s still no change, it’s time to switch positions. If you can’t recover the previous day’s cost price the next day, decisively exit—don’t drag on.

**The secret of the top gainers list:** There are always three or five, and five or seven on the list. This is a pattern many people overlook. Coins that have risen for two consecutive days can be bought on dips, and usually the fifth day is a selling point.

**Trading volume is key:** The soul of the crypto market lies in trading volume. Watch closely for volume breakthroughs during consolidation at low levels; if high volume appears but the price doesn’t move, run quickly.

**Moving average selection is very important:** A 3-day moving average trending upward is a short-term bullish signal; a 30-day moving average trending upward indicates medium-term good news; an 80-day moving average trending upward suggests a main upward wave is coming; a 120-day moving average trending upward is a long-term opportunity. Only trade coins in an upward trend for the greatest chance of winning.

**Mindset and strategy:** Small funds also have opportunities; the key is the right method, a stable mindset, and strict discipline. But one point to emphasize—don’t treat crypto trading as a full-time job, and definitely don’t think about borrowing to turn around your fortunes—that path is not feasible.

When the market arrives, only those who are prepared can seize the opportunity.

Jumping in after 9 consecutive days of decline? This logic sounds so familiar to me. The last time someone did that, they're still trapped now haha

Jumping in after a 9-day decline? Man, you must have such strong mental resilience. I just watch it drop and want to cut my losses.

honestly the math on these "rules" doesn't add up... 9 consecutive days down = buy signal? that's literally the opposite of what every model i've reverse-engineered shows. the tokenomics here are unsustainable.

Falling for 9 days in a row and now you want to buy in? Bro, I really can't understand this logic. Every time it's like this—buying the dip only to get stuck and lose money.

Jumping in after nine consecutive days of decline? I think this guy just wants to pay tuition again. --- Honestly, it's all about volume; volume can't be fooled, but prices can be. --- Jumping on the rally after a 3-day uptick? Wake up, how many people have thought that before? --- The phrase "don't borrow to turn things around" really hits home. I know someone who got liquidated directly because of this. --- Is it true that there are always three or five on the gainers list? That logic sounds a bit mysterious. --- The key is to keep a steady mindset and strict discipline. Unfortunately, most people can't do that. --- Reducing positions after two days of gains? That rule is too aggressive and easy to miss the main upward wave. --- Volume is the key, no doubt, but how to judge high-volume moves at the top is the real trick. --- Waiting three days without any movement and then switching positions feels like throwing a tantrum. --- Only trading in an uptrend definitely has a higher chance of winning, but it's also hard to judge an uptrend.
