The capital scale is less than 10,000 USDT. The most important thing is not to grow big, but to survive.



I have summarized a very "stupid" trading method. It may seem to lack technical content, but interestingly, many followers have used this method to slowly turn five-figure principal into seven figures. The key is that this method is very easy to stick to—because it requires almost no thinking.

It boils down to four steps. The simpler the rules, the harder it is to be defeated by emotions.

**Step 1: Only look at one signal when choosing coins**

Daily MACD golden cross, that’s it. Don’t listen to news, hot trends, KOL calls—those are best ignored. If the indicator doesn’t give a signal, stay away. The safest approach is to wait for the golden cross above the zero line, which increases the win rate and stability.

**Step 2: Hold the position along one moving average**

Choose either the 20-day or 50-day moving average, and stick to that line. When the price stays above the line, hold. When it breaks below, exit. No "wait and see," no "rebound and then go." This is not a suggestion; it’s an iron law.

**Step 3: Enter and exit only when two conditions are met**

The price must stay above the moving average, and trading volume must increase. Only when both conditions are satisfied is it worth adding to or increasing the position. When the price rises by 40%, take some profits. When it reaches 80%, take more. Locking in profits is very important. If the closing price falls below the moving average, clear out all remaining positions immediately—no sentimentality.

**Step 4: Stop-loss in one sentence**

If the closing price falls below the moving average, exit at the next open without discussion. A moment of hesitation could wipe out all previous profits. Missing out on a trade is not scary; when the coin re-establishes above the moving average, buy again.

Honestly, this strategy is not smart at all, even a bit "stupid." But from another perspective, for retail investors with limited capital, what is the most valuable asset? It’s surviving long enough.

For example: a coin shows a daily MACD golden cross, then stabilizes above the moving average with increased volume, so you start adding positions gradually. The price rises for a while, then you reduce some to lock in profits. Finally, if the price falls below the moving average, you clear all remaining positions. Following this plan, you can easily catch a good market move.

Market opportunities will always exist, but without discipline to restrain yourself, no matter how many opportunities are in front of you, you won’t seize them.

If your current funds are still below 10,000 USDT, and you’re frequently losing money, losing confidence, or have blown up your account before, try this "stupid" method. Stick to it for 3 months, and you’ll understand the power of discipline.

Follow the plan, and that’s enough.

Honestly, living is much more important than making a lot of money.

Honestly, discipline is more profitable than intelligence, I believe that. --- Both MACD and moving averages sound like they don't have much substance, but some people really turn their fortunes around just by relying on them. --- Surviving is the hard truth; what we retail investors fear most is losing everything in a single all-in bet. --- Sell when breaking below the moving average; it sounds simple but it's really hard to do. Soft-heartedness at that moment can lead to liquidation. --- Rolling from five figures to seven figures, this number sounds a bit unbelievable, but the methodology isn't flawed. --- I'm most afraid of stop-loss; always hoping for a rebound, but the more I hold on, the deeper I get stuck. --- Try sticking with it for three months; anyway, I'm already losing now, so might as well follow this strict rule. --- It feels like this set of strategies is teaching us how to live longer, not how to get rich overnight.

Honestly, discipline is really more valuable than skills. I just treat myself like a robot. I've heard of five-figure to seven-figure turnovers, but most of it is probably survivor bias. The key is to stay alive. I agree with the iron rule of moving averages, but it's really hard to stick to, especially when watching the coins drop. Trying to follow it seriously for three months? I’ve tried, the first two months were quite boring, but then I gradually tasted the sweetness. Mindset is a hundred times more important than indicators, I have deep personal experience with that. Once, being soft-hearted really caused me to give away a year's profit. I’ve fallen into that trap myself once. There’s no clever trick, just repeat those four steps and wait for time to give the answer.

This discipline is really tough; I'm the kind to be soft-hearted.
