Honestly, for small accounts trading cryptocurrencies, the hardest part isn't making money, but avoiding liquidation.



I've seen too many people go from five figures to seven figures in funds, only to be wiped out by a single correction. The root cause is that their methods are too complicated, and their rules are too complex to execute.

In fact, small retail investors have a huge advantage — small accounts are easier to control. As long as you find the right method, you can achieve continuous and steady growth, never risking liquidation.

**The core is actually very simple: four steps.**

**Step 1: Only choose coins that will go up**

Open the daily chart and look for one thing — MACD golden cross. Preferably a golden cross above the zero line, which is the most stable. Don't listen to news analysis or gossip in the crypto circle; just focus on technical patterns. A MACD golden cross indicates a trend reversal, which is a green light to enter.

**Step 2: Rely on one line for operations**

The daily moving average, remember this. The logic is extremely simple:

If the coin price is above the daily moving average? Hold it, don’t move.

If it falls below the daily moving average? Don’t hesitate, sell immediately.

No need for any reasons in between. Some people say "it might just be a small correction," or "it might rebound" — these are self-deceptions. Discipline is discipline, not something to discuss.

**Step 3: How to manage position size and selling**

Look at two dimensions: price and volume.

The key condition is — the price is above the daily moving average, and volume is also above the daily moving average. When both conditions are met, go all in, don’t hold back.

Sell with a rhythm:
- When up 40%, sell one-third
- When up 80%, sell another third
- When it falls below the daily moving average, sell everything remaining

What’s the benefit of doing this? Lock in profits and control risks. You won’t get caught all in due to greed, nor miss the rise due to fear.

**Step 4: Stop-loss in one sentence**

If it falls below the daily moving average, regardless of the reason the next day, clear your position. No exceptions. Some will say "this time it will rebound," but relying on luck once will ruin all previous efforts. Not worth it.

**What if you miss the opportunity?**

Missing out isn’t scary. Wait until the price reclaims the daily moving average, then buy back. The market always exists, and opportunities will repeat. The most important thing is to stay alive and keep your chips on the table.

This method isn’t very advanced, and might even seem a bit "dumb." But precisely because it’s simple, it’s most suitable for retail traders. Easy to execute, less psychological pressure, and risk is controllable. Much more stable than those chasing huge profits and ending up losing everything in one shot.

Don’t worry about missing out, and don’t regret. The essence of trading is patience and discipline. If you do it right, time will reward you.

That's right, execution is the hardest part. I've seen too many people who know the principles, but lose everything with a single misstep.

That's right, staying alive is the hard truth. It's better to miss out than to go down with the ship entirely.

That's right, living is the most important, the moment you become greedy, you are dead.

That's right, being alive is the top priority; dead money is the most expensive.

Basically, it's a matter of execution. Most people fail because of greed, not because of lack of skill.

It's true, discipline is the only key to making money. I've seen too many people die because of greed.
