Having traded in the crypto space for over ten years, I've seen countless crashes and surges. When I first entered the industry, I had just a few thousand USDT in hand, dreaming of overnight riches like all newcomers. It wasn't until I was beaten down countless times by the market that I finally understood what reality really is.

The most dazzling opportunities are often the easiest traps to fall into.

My biggest takeaway in these ten years isn't some profound theory, but rather a simple, "dumb" method with little excitement—yet it keeps me alive and ensures my account grows steadily. That's how I rolled my first seven-figure balance.

There are only four steps to this method, each derived from real losses:

**When choosing coins, only watch the daily MACD golden cross**

Don't listen to insider tips, and definitely don't chase trends based on self-media influencers' calls. Pay special attention to the golden cross signals above the zero line—these are more trustworthy than anyone's words. Indicators are essentially an objective reflection of market sentiment; they don't lie. The only thing that can deceive you is your own unrealistic expectations.

**The bottom line for holding positions is the 20-day moving average**

As long as the price stays above the 20-day MA, hold on. If the daily close drops below this line, don't hesitate—exit immediately. This isn't some advanced analysis; it's discipline—because in trading, discipline is the tool that keeps you alive.

**Timing entries with volume and price, learn to take profits in stages**

Wait until the price reclaims the moving average and see a significant surge in trading volume—that's your cue to follow in. After making profits, don't be greedy: take some off the table after a 40% rise to lock in gains, and again at 80%. If the closing price falls below the 20-day MA, clear out the rest. Always remember, eating the fish is enough; there's no need to gnaw on the bones.

**Stop-loss is only based on the closing price; luck should never be part of your strategy**

If the closing price falls below the moving average, regardless of what happens the next day at open, exit immediately. A single lucky break can wipe out your entire month's profits. Missing opportunities always exists, but your capital doesn't have endless lives.

This method may be boring, like farm work, but those who have survived in the crypto world are never the clever quick shooters who think they're smart, but rather those with enough patience. Just like recent signals from certain coins—once the signal appears, follow it, and control your hands. Often, you'll catch the most stable and substantial gains.

The most common phrase I've heard over the past decade is, "I wish I had followed that back then."

Opportunities are never scarce; there's always a chance on exchanges. But if you can't even follow a simple set of rules, no matter how many opportunities there are, they won't matter to you. Turning things around doesn't rely on genius or inspiration; it depends on sticking to your rules day after day. I used to stumble around in the dark, but now I hold a light—so the question is, will you follow it or not?
