When I am short on funds, I never mess around with fancy strategies. Sticking to the simplest trading system is enough — this approach has protected me many times and has never caused my account to blow up. Over time, my capital has gradually accumulated.



Among the people around me who use this approach, a few have turned a few ten thousand U.S. dollars into a million U.S. dollars.

**The method is actually very straightforward**

The first step, I just add one tool to my chart — the MACD on the daily chart, focusing on the golden cross signals above the zero line. This is my only buy signal. I turn off all other noise; technical indicators won’t lie to you.

The second step, I strictly adhere to one moving average (such as the 20-day or 60-day). This line is like my lifeline — if the price is above it, I keep holding; once it falls below, I close the position immediately. No buts, no hesitation.

The third step, price and volume are my two signal lights. Buying must meet both conditions: the price breaks above that key moving average with increased volume. No volume, no upward move? That’s a trap, I stay away. After entering, I take profits in stages: when the gain reaches 40%, I reduce some; at 80%, I reduce more; the remaining position I hold until the price breaks below the moving average again, then I exit.

The fourth step, stop-loss is a strict rule: if the closing price falls below my moving average, I will exit at the next open without any room for negotiation. A moment of overconfidence could wipe out months of profits.

This method isn’t high-end, but it can filter out 99% of emotional noise and false volatility. Last month, I applied this to $ETH and $PIPPIN — testing with small positions, strictly enforcing stop-losses, and ultimately successfully capturing trending moves.

Market opportunities are continuous, but only disciplined people can survive until the opportunity arrives. If you’re still struggling with which coin to choose, when to buy, or when to sell, maybe what you really lack isn’t more information bombardment, but a systematic framework you can stick to and execute relentlessly.

To be honest, compared to those flashy strategies, discipline is the hardest to master. Using MACD and moving averages may look simple, but executing them requires a tough mindset. From tens of thousands to millions, just listen—it's a matter of probability. However, I must admit, when it comes to stop-loss, this guy isn't joking.

That's right, but I'm afraid that discipline is truly more valuable than capital. I'm most convinced by strict stop-loss; many people fail because of overconfidence. This framework is indeed simple, but simplicity is stability. MACD golden cross combined with moving average breakout—simple and straightforward is the best approach. The key is to stick with it; most people tend to overcomplicate things.

Discipline has helped me win big, I only trust MACD and moving averages I've been living like this too, the stop-loss line really can't be crossed It sounds simple, but very few people can stick to it When the moving average crosses, just run, there's nothing more to say, this is my ironclad rule The most feared thing is luck mentality; one time can send you back to the pre-liberation era

Discipline is really the most valuable thing in trading, more useful than any indicator. It sounds simple, but very few people can truly do it. I agree most with the stop-loss part; a single lucky psychological moment can wipe out several months' worth of profits. It's so true. Using MACD golden cross combined with moving averages—I've been using this combo too, and the results are indeed stable. The key is execution. Many people understand this principle, but when the price really breaks below the moving average, they find all kinds of reasons not to exit. Someone who can survive until the next market cycle has already beaten most people.

Basically, living is more important than making money, and discipline is the only truth. Never executed a stop-loss? Then sooner or later you'll experience the thrill of a margin call. Moving averages are my moat; everything else is虚的. It sounds simple, but how many can really stick to it? Accumulating funds is a matter of boredom being the right way. MACD golden cross, moving averages, stop-loss—these three tools are enough to survive. 诱多 has fooled me countless times; now I only look at trading volume to speak. Want to reach a million U? First learn how to survive until next year.

actually if you examine the data on pure macd crossovers historically speaking they work maybe 40% of the time lol... the real edge here isn't the indicator itself but the discipline piece which honestly most people lack

It's all about discipline, to put it simply. No matter how many indicators you have, they are useless without discipline. I have deep experience with stop-loss; a lucky break and my account was gone. The moving average system is indeed effective; simple and straightforward is the most efficient. Price and volume coordination is the real signal.

honestly the macd + moving average combo is just discipline wrapped in technical indicators... most ppl fail not bc the system sucks but bc they lack the patience to actually stick with it, tbh

Honestly, this set of things is useless without some execution power. I've also tried MACD golden cross, but I can't control my hands, and in the end, I still lost. Stories from tens of thousands to millions are heard often, but who has truly achieved it? Discipline really tests human nature, and I'm still too inexperienced. I've learned about moving average stop-losses; I'll try it next time.

honestly the macd zero-cross thing is giving "back in the luna days" energy but statistically speaking... discipline actually works? not financial advice but i've seen more people blow up from fomo than from boring moving average crosses. that said the 40/80 pyramid exit is *chef's kiss* risk-adjusted returns fr
