Traders with funds below 5000U need to first learn a basic way of living. Forget about those complicated strategies; simple discipline is the moat that makes retail investors less likely to be eliminated by the market.



Many people have relied on this logic to grow their accounts from three digits to six digits. There’s no black technology involved—just four steps repeated over and over.

**Step 1: Choose coins based only on the daily MACD golden cross**

Technical analysis is right there, more reliable than any news. Especially the golden cross above the zero line, which is the most stable signal. Don’t be swayed by all kinds of rumors flying around, and don’t try to guess tops or bottoms. Let the indicator speak, and follow along.

**Step 2: Stick to a daily moving average for operations**

Hold positions above the moving average; exit if the price breaks below it. This is not just advice, it’s a rule. When the price falls below the moving average, you should exit at the open of the next candle. Fantasizing about rebounds will only increase losses.

**Step 3: Confirm entries and exits with price and volume**

Wait until the price reclaims the moving average, and volume also increases. Only then can you confidently go all-in. Exit in stages: take profits at 40% gain, close some at 80%. If the price reverses and breaks below the moving average, close all remaining positions immediately.

**Step 4: Only one standard for stop-loss**

Once the closing price falls below the moving average, you must exit regardless of the situation the next day. A lucky escape might cause you to give back all your previous gains. Missing out on opportunities isn’t scary; the market always offers chances. Wait until it reclaims the moving average, then buy back.

This method may seem a bit simple, but simple methods are exactly what retail investors can stick to. Just like during the previous PIPPIN market, when signals appeared, follow them, control your position size, and set your risk-reward ratio properly. You can easily capture a big profit. The market always has opportunities, but without a simple, clear discipline, all those chances are just fleeting illusions.

To be honest, I've tried the MACD golden cross setup before, but it's easy to get fooled by false signals. Missing out is really not scary; what's scary is greed making you give back all your profits. When the moving average breaks, just exit. This discipline sounds simple, but sticking to it is really difficult. Small accounts have to rely on discipline to survive; there's no other way. The split profit-taking ratios of 40% and 80% are indeed effective. I didn't follow this approach with PIPPIN before, and now I regret it.

That's correct, but when it really hits the breaking of the moving average line, I still tend to look at a couple more K-lines... That's why I keep bouncing back and forth between missing out and chasing highs.

Yes, really, discipline is everything; without discipline, you're just a gambler.

Basically, it's about following discipline; many people fail because they overthink.

To be honest, this set of strategies sounds simple, but very few can stick with it in practice. I only realized that discipline is more valuable than anything after being cut many times by MACD golden crosses.

This thing, to put it simply, is about maintaining discipline. I've tried it, and it really works...

Sounds good. But can you really maintain your mindset during actual operation?
