Retail investors with only a few thousand yuan, stop blindly following the trend and messing around. There are too many people in the market holding small amounts of money trying to chase miracles, only to get completely wiped out. Today I share a trading method that is the dumbest but most resilient—some have used it to grow from five figures to seven figures.
The core is four steps, and none can be skipped.
**Step 1: Choose coins based on daily MACD golden cross**
Don’t pay attention to news; all those flying headlines are less honest than candlestick charts. Focus on the MACD golden cross signal above the zero line—this indicator is more reliable than any influencer’s words. Simple and crude, but effective.
**Step 2: All operations follow the 20-day moving average**
This line is your life and death line. When the price stays above it, hold steady; if it breaks below, you must exit—no exceptions. Don’t overcomplicate it, don’t fantasize, discipline is more important than anything.
**Step 3: Enter when volume and price break together, exit in stages with profit-taking**
Price breaking the moving average isn’t enough; trading volume must also increase simultaneously. That’s the real signal to fully commit. What if the price rises? Take profits in batches—sell some at a 40% gain, more at an 80% gain. When the price falls below the moving average again, clear out the remaining position.
**Step 4: Stop-loss based on closing price**
If the closing price falls below the 20-day moving average, you must exit unconditionally the next day. A lucky break could wipe out a month’s profit. Missing out isn’t scary; wait for the signal to reappear before buying back—there’s always another opportunity in the market.
This method isn’t exciting, and it can even be a bit dull. But in the crypto world, the longest-lasting traders are never the smartest—they are the most disciplined. When the signal appears, follow it, control your position size, and you might just harvest big profits by accident. Many people only regret after the fact, saying they should have followed earlier. But no matter how many opportunities the market offers, if you can’t even follow the most basic rules, you can only watch the market slip away.

Sounds good, but I feel like I tried this method three years ago... and I still got trapped.
To be honest, things like the 20-day moving average work well in a bull market, but are useless in a bear market.
Are those who went from five figures to seven figures just lucky to have caught that big wave?

Discipline is indeed a bottleneck, but to be honest, running away immediately after a drop might be a bit too absolute sometimes.

That's right, discipline really is half the battle won. Unfortunately, most people can't do it.
It's another MACD golden cross; I've heard this routine so many times, but it really works better than blindly buying.
That 20-day moving average is truly a life-and-death line. If it breaks below, I sell. No buts. I've come to understand this.
Partial profit-taking isn't a problem; it's just that being greedy is really tough. Selling part of the position after a 40% increase? I might wait for a 60% rise, haha.
Speaking of going from five figures to seven figures, the probability must be very small. Most people are probably just testing the waters on the edge of losses.
As for me, always buying at the top—can I survive just relying on this? Well, I guess I have to give it a try.

Data shows that historically, this method has also experienced quite significant drawdowns, but with disciplined execution, it can outperform most people.

Discipline is easy to talk about, but few can truly stick to it.
---
It's easy to sound good, but the key issue is that many people lack execution.
---
The 20-day moving average hurdle seems simple but actually tests your mentality the most.
---
Taking partial profits gradually sounds safe, but when the price really breaks below the moving average, hands start to shake.
---
Going from five figures to seven figures? That's just a probability statement; most people still end up losing.
---
MACD golden cross doesn't lie, but what deceives is your own desire.
---
The worst thing isn't losing, but knowing the rules and still insisting on adding drama.
---
The moving average is a life-and-death line, no doubt about it. The key is that everyone knows this but still can't do it.
---
Missing out isn't really a big deal; what worries me is knowing the signal is coming but hesitating.
---
Making money through discipline is much more stable than relying on intelligence, but everyone wants to take shortcuts.

It's really true that discipline is the key, but unfortunately most people just can't do it.
