When it comes to trading crypto for a living, guts alone won't cut it—you need hard-earned rules. These are lessons I've ground out over the years, not exaggerating a single word, but every sentence hits hard. $ZEC If a strong coin drops for eight or nine days straight, don't panic—a rebound signal is often just around the corner. If a coin has risen for two consecutive days, sell half first—don't try to catch the last bit every time. If it surges more than seven points in a single day, it usually carries momentum into the next day, but don't chase then. For truly big bull coins, wait for a pullback with shrinking volume and stable price before entering—ten times safer than buying at the top. If it's been consolidating sideways for three days with no movement, wait another three days; if still no change, switch out immediately—don't waste time on it. If you can't even get back your cost by the second day after entry, your direction might be wrong—don't hesitate, exit first. The gainers list has a pattern: coins that rise for two consecutive days are worth watching after a pullback, and day five often offers a good selling point. Volume is everything—surge on low-level volume with a breakout demands attention, but if high-level volume stalls the rally, you must exit. $SOL Only trade coins in an uptrend: short-term look at the 3-day line, medium-term at the 30-day line, the main uptrend at the 80-day line, and long-term at the 120-day line. Don't force a trade before the trend is established. Small capital still has a chance—stick to your rules, keep your mindset steady, execute strictly, and you can still turn it around. If I can't understand the market, I never make a move. Simple as that.
