With only a few thousand yuan in funds, trying to turn things around in the crypto world but always getting trapped? The problem isn't the market; it's that you haven't established a strict and executable trading system.
I've seen too many retail traders gamble with small amounts for big gains, only to see their accounts shrink continuously. What's the difference? It's not that they don't work hard, but that they don't follow basic trading discipline. Today, I’ll share a proven trading framework—no complicated tricks, just the simplest rules, but these rules are what have helped many accounts grow from five figures to seven figures.
**Five Core Steps, none can be missed**
**Step 1: Coin selection criterion—only look at daily MACD golden cross** Don’t be influenced by rumors or follow big influencers’ recommendations. Focus on one indicator—MACD. When the daily chart shows a MACD golden cross above the zero line, it’s the most objective signal for selecting coins. Indicators don’t lie, and this is much more reliable than listening to stories.
**Step 2: Trading discipline—bind to the 20-day moving average** This is not a suggestion; it’s a survival rule. When the price is above the 20-day moving average, hold with confidence. Once it falls below, you must exit immediately. Don’t wait, don’t hope for a rebound, don’t be soft-hearted. Being soft could wipe out a month’s worth of effort.
**Step 3: Enter only when price and volume break together; take profits in steps** Don’t enter at any time. Only when the price breaks above the 20-day moving average and volume significantly increases is the true entry signal—this is when to take a heavy position.
Exiting also requires discipline. When gains reach 40%, sell some to lock in profits; if it rises to 80%, sell more; if it falls below the moving average, clear all remaining positions. This logic has been validated over time—just follow it.
**Step 4: Stop loss only based on closing price** Don’t watch minute-by-minute fluctuations, and don’t change your mind based on short-term ups and downs. As long as the daily closing price falls below the 20-day moving average, you must exit the next day, no matter what. Lucky psychology is the main reason accounts shrink.
**Step 5: Accept missing out more easily than losses** Missing a wave of the market isn’t scary; what’s scary is impulsively entering to chase after it. Market opportunities are cyclical. Wait until the price re-establishes above the moving average before entering again—there’s always a next wave. This isn’t pessimism; it’s protecting your account.
This method isn’t exciting; it’s even a bit dull. But the reality in the crypto world is: those who survive longer are often not the smartest traders, but the most disciplined ones. Many regret afterward, saying, “I should have followed this method from the start,” but the opportunity is right in front of you. If you’re not willing to follow basic rules, even the best signals won’t help you.
Start accumulating with small funds, and use this system to operate. As long as you are willing to strictly follow it, doubling your account is not a dream. The key is the first step: start.

Sounds good, but is there really anyone who can stick to the 20-day moving average and run at the first sign of movement? I, for one, can't do it.

Exactly right, discipline is everything. I was too soft-hearted and didn't stick to the 20 moving average stop-loss, which forced me to give back a 40% profit and break even.

It's easy to talk about, but hard to stick to. I am part of the group that gave in to being too soft.

To be honest, plain language is very accurate, but there are very few people actually implementing this stuff.

It's the same story again... I've been through this before. The 2018 crash was all about being too soft-hearted. I watched the 20-day moving average break down and still hoped for a rebound, but it ended up crashing 50% directly. But to be fair, this discipline has saved me a few times, it's just that most people simply can't stick to it, especially when the despair of a bear market hits.

according to my peer-reviewed analysis of moving average crossover patterns (n=420 degenerate traders), the statistical significance of "just follow the rules bro" approaches suggests a p-value of approximately 0.69... which honestly tracks. discipline > dopamine hits, cope or seethe i guess
