# My Strategy for Finding the Best Crypto to Trade (Daily Trading Routine)

## Summary

This video reveals a crypto trading strategy to catch altcoin breakouts by focusing on categories and ecosystems rather than chasing coins that have already pumped. The presenter demonstrates how to use CoinMarketCap to find competitors and related coins on the same chain, then filter by volume and recent pullbacks to identify potential trades before they move.

### Key Points

- **FOMO Trap** [00:01] — Watching a coin that already pumped leads to missing other opportunities. There are over 2 million cryptocurrencies, so it's impossible to track all.
- **Strategy Origin** [01:25] — In the last bull market, the presenter noticed a pattern: after one coin breaks out, other coins in the same category or chain follow.
- **Core Insight** [02:07] — When an altcoin breaks out independently of Bitcoin, it's usually due to fundamental news related to its category or chain. Instead of waiting for a pullback, look for other coins in that category.
- **Example with DOT** [03:42] — Using DOT as an example, the presenter shows how to find its tags (Polkadot Ecosystem, Layer 1) on CoinMarketCap.
- **Category Sorting** [04:49] — Go to 'Categories' on CoinMarketCap, find the ecosystem (e.g., Polkadot Ecosystem), then sort by 7-day worst performers to find coins that have pulled back.
- **Volume Filter** [05:58] — Only consider coins with at least 7-8 figure 24-hour volume to ensure liquidity and quicker moves.
- **Exchange Check** [06:42] — Before charting, verify the coin is available on your preferred exchange (e.g., Bitget).
- **TradingView Watchlist** [07:51] — Create a new watchlist in TradingView, add the filtered coins, and chart them one by one.
- **Competitors via Tags** [08:47] — Use the coin's tags (e.g., Layer 1) to find competitors and repeat the filtering process.

### Conclusion

By shifting focus from a pumped coin to its category or chain, traders can find opportunities before they break out, reducing FOMO and improving trade timing.

## Transcript

coin has just pumped hundreds of perc and you weren't in on the trade the fomo kicks in and you start telling yourself stories that you always miss the big moves and you're never going to be one of those people that happens to catch a
really good trade so now you go into this spiral of watching that coin hoping that it pulls back so that you can get a chance to get in also while not really understanding that that coin has done its thing and now something else is
happening somewhere else but your eyes are AR on the right thing did you know that according to coin market cap there are over 2 million cryptocurrencies and depending on what exchange you trade on you probably have a choice of at least a
few hundred coins to trade on a daily basis it's not possible to be on top of every single coin so that you can catch the move before it happens I mean let's be honest who has the time to scan through hundreds of coins every day just
looking for a trade there has to be a better way between you and me I think yourself the best chance of catching delicious trades before they actually break out then step one is to hit that subscribe button if you're not already
subscribed because on this channel I will be taking you through different strategies that I use for my daily charting process and whilst you're there be sure to hit the like button because we're starting with this video right
here now before I get into this strategy let me just tell you how I came about it in the last full Market I noticed that a trend had started to form with certain coins that would pop off first and then something else would follow whilst
everybody was focusing on that one coin that did the massive thing something else started happening behind the scenes and if your focus was in the wrong place you missed that as well once I discovered it I saw this repeating over
and over and over again I was able to design this strategy which massively cut down my daily charting process and so far in this cycle the exact same thing is happening so here's the secret when an altcoin breaks out and starts to make
a move that is independent of Bitcoin breaking out as well or all altcoins in general it's usually because that altcoin in particular is doing something there's probably some kind of fundamental news but by the time you
find out about it it's already happened but that news is usually in relation to either the category that that coin is in or the chain that it's a part of and
instead of waiting for the pullback on that coin that's already moved if you understand how to look for other coins in the same category you don't have to know them all off by heart there's a way
to find them which I'm going to show you or you know what other coins are on that chain then you can switch your focus to charting those things and get the break out on the next one before it happens happens so the first one is always just
the preview it's not an indication that you have missed out altogether it's a mistake to think once that first coin is moved that you can't do anything until it pulls back by doing that you're missing out on this opportunity so what
we're going to do instead when we see something like that happen we're going to shift our focus and we're going to immediately start looking to that coin's competition number one and number two the chain that that coin is on because
other opportunities are going to present there as well and to do this we can use something like coin market cap or coin gecko so let's get into it I'm going to show you exactly how to do this okay so let's use dot as an example because we
can see here that Dot's had a bit of a runup lately and if you've missed out on that you may be in that situation waiting for a pullback to get in so market cap so first thing we're going to do we're going to go to coin market cap
either just scroll the list to find it or you can search for it up here in the search bar once you find it click on the name and then remember I said we want to find its competitors and the chain so to do that we scroll down here and you want
to come down to where it says tags click on show all and it's going to show you all of the tags that relate to dot so you can see here on the platform obviously the platform for DOT is polka dot itself so that's one thing you need
to note down and then obviously the chain is polka dot itself as well you can see here it says polka dot ecosystem but if you were looking up a different coin that wasn't a layer one you would be looking for the ecosystem under
platform to know where that coin sits so now we know the two things for this one so with that information we're now going to go up to the top here where it says cryptocurrencies and click on categories now dot was an ecosystem itself so we're
going to scroll until we can find the dot ecosystem and here it is at number 31 so if we click on that it's now going to bring up everything that is is in the polka dot ecosystem then from here
you're going to go to the 7day click on that 7day twice until it brings up the worst performer of the last 7 Days that's right the worst if we're looking for long position we want to find coins that have pulled back a lot over the
last 7 days that may be starting to turn around now obviously if you were looking for short positions you would be doing this in the opposite way so we can see here that this first one here moon beam has dropped
31.9% in 7 days from there you're going to go to the 1H hour column and if that has just started to turn green with a low percentage like 1 or 2% that could
be something that is just starting to bounce after dot has had its initial move now once you have this list in order of worst performer over the last 7 days you then want to have a look at the 24-hour volume column because we only
really want want to be trading things that have good volume because they're going to move quicker so in an Ideal World you want to have at least a 7 to8 figure volume in that column so when we have a look at beans it says
5,933 that doesn't meet our criteria so we would immediately discount that for me personally I do like to see 8 figure volume but you know mid seven figure is kind of okay in this kind of a market so we basically just go down the list until
we can find find something that meets that criteria so let's have a look at this next one we can see this has 7 million 24hour volume down 12% over 7 days still down on the 1 hour but by 1% so we'll have a look at this one and
this coin here is benser to now before you then head over to trading view to it's actually available on the exchange that you personally trade on so to do
that you just click on the coin scroll down and you can pick whether you trade on a deck or a centralized exchange I personally like to trade on centralized exchanges I don't have a problem with them and my preferred exchange is bitg
so I'm going to have a look in this list if it's available on bitg if it is then trading View and actually chart so I can see here that this one is available in really good trading options by the way both spot and per so if you are looking
for an exchange to trade on be sure to check out the link in the description down below because if use those links to join not only do you get access to bitg and there are other bonuses and stuff down there that you can read about as
well so once you found a coin that meets your criteria and it's available on your trading view account and again if you don't have trading view it's an something that you're definitely going to need so again there are links down
need it you can just grab yourself a free account to start with and upgrade trading view just come over here to the side where the three dots are and you can click this down arrow here and go create new list and you can call that
whatever you want it could be today's watch list whatever I'm just going to call it dot for now and in here is where you will start to add the coins that you have scanned from coin market cap so you just click the add symbol and I'm going
to click on to usdt find that on the exchange that I trade on so Bigg right here and now it's added to my watch list once I've done that I can go back to coin market cap go back to the ecosystem make sure that it's still sorted
correctly and I just make my way down the list until I find something else that meets that criteria a lot of these volume wise they don't meet the criteria so that turns out to be my only option for the moment but if I want to chart
its competitors I can come back here to all of the tags see here that it's layer one click on the layer one tag and that's going to bring up all of the other coins that qualify as layer one and I can do exactly the same thing here
so click on the 7day until it brings up the worst performers then scroll through the 24-hour volume until I find something that matches my criteria I can see ICP does here but in 7 days it's only been down
0.35% so anything lower than that is probably not going to qualify for this strategy I should say I'm actually filming this on Christmas day so the volume is completely completely deaded so this isn't the best example but on a
normal day where there is good trading volume you will find a ton of opportunities doing it this way for the purpose of moving on let's just pretend that we have a list of say 10 coins that we can now go chart at least we have one
that I can show you you come to your watch list and you just make your way through charting them one by one however you would normally chart coins and your list and charted up all of your coins for the day and set your alerts
your charting process is now done for the day until one of those alerts go off and you then look for trade opportunity so now instead of having fomo over the one coin that took off that you missed out on you now see where you are in
relation to its competitors and other things on the same chain and you will hopefully find some good trade opportunities coming up for that that you can be a part of before they actually move if you enjoyed this video
