You only have a few thousand dollars in your account? Don't rush to make reckless moves. I've seen too many people with this little capital trying to gamble, only to be washed out by the market completely, leaving nothing behind.

Actually, there is a very practical trading framework. It sounds simple, but it's this "simple" method that can last the longest and earn the most stable profits. Some traders around me have used this logic to grow their capital from around ten thousand to seven figures. The secret is to stick to four non-negotiable steps.

**Step 1: Choose a coin based on one signal—Daily MACD Golden Cross**

Don’t be swayed by all that messy information. Insider info, news sentiment—put all that aside first. You only need to focus on one thing: whether the MACD on the daily chart shows a golden cross. Especially signals that form above the zero line—these are more reliable than any predictions from big influencers.

The advantage of indicators is this—they have no bias and only truthfully reflect the strength of price movements.

**Step 2: Trade only based on the 20-day moving average**

Once in the market, keep a close eye on the 20-day moving average. If the price is above it, hold steady—don’t overthink. If the price falls below this line? Sell immediately, no questions asked.

This isn’t just advice; it’s discipline. Many people hold onto illusions at this step, only to suffer bigger losses. When the price breaks below the moving average, it’s a clear signal to exit.

**Step 3: Enter only when two conditions are met, exit in stages**

Before full position entry, you need to see two things simultaneously: the price above the moving average and volume increasing. Only when both signals appear together is it a true entry opportunity. Any other reason isn’t enough.

When the price has risen 40%, sell some positions. When it reaches 80%, sell another batch. If the trend reverses and the price falls back below the moving average, exit all positions.

Staged exits may seem complicated, but they ensure you won’t get caught in a reversal. It’s the simplest and most effective way to protect your capital.

**Step 4: Use closing price for stop-loss**

If at the close the price has fallen below the moving average, no matter how the next day’s market moves, sell immediately. Even a moment of hesitation can wipe out your gains.

The operation is this simple: use indicators to find direction, use the moving average to set rhythm, confirm momentum with volume, and control risk with staged exits.

Many people think this method is too conservative or slow. But think about it—what is the ultimate goal of making money? Not to get rich overnight, but to survive long enough and earn steadily. Traders who survive in this market almost all follow this "simple" logic. Those trying to gamble or cut corners usually end up being educated by the market.

Trying this method with a few thousand dollars is more than enough. As long as your execution is strong, after a year of rolling, the changes in your account will surprise you.
