Turning 50,000 into 1,230,000 U, looking back, this journey was truly not easy.
The four-step method I summarized—choosing coins based on MACD golden cross, using daily moving averages as buy/sell signals, flexible position management, and strict stop-loss—really captures the core of trend trading.
The reason this approach is effective is fundamentally because I use rules to counteract human weaknesses. In the 24-hour volatile crypto market, most people lose money because they trade impulsively. Turning trading into action through clear, executable signals is itself a form of maturity.
I want to share a few insights:
1. Methods Have Applicable Scenarios
MACD golden cross + moving average strategy works well in trending markets, but during sideways consolidation, false signals like "fake golden cross" or "fake breakdown" can occur repeatedly, leading to losses. If the market style shifts, I add filtering conditions, such as considering weekly trend direction or volume thresholds.
2. Leave Room for Position Management
In the early days, I also tried "break below moving average + volume increase = full position"—it yields strong gains in trend-following, but during extreme spikes, it’s easy to hit stop-loss instantly. Later, as my capital grew, I switched to phased entries: starting with 30-50% of the position, confirming the trend before adding more, which increases fault tolerance.
3. Boundary of Mentoring is Important
I share experiences and help others avoid detours because I genuinely hope everyone avoids the pitfalls I’ve encountered. But each person’s risk tolerance and mental resilience are different. I emphasize “risk upfront”—let others verify the method with small funds and build discipline first, then gradually scale up. After all, if they lose money, I feel uncomfortable too.
4. Mindset is the Deepest Fortress
I repeatedly stress that “execution is difficult,” which is indeed the ultimate challenge for all traders. I’ve experienced holding through losses and also the luck of avoiding losses, but ultimately, I adopted the strict rule of “sell if the line breaks”—this discipline, earned through losses, is more valuable than any technical indicator. Keeping to this rule already puts you ahead of most people.
Turning 1,230,000 U is a significant accumulation, but the harsh reality of crypto is that a black swan event can wipe out years of gains. Maintaining reverence and appropriately converting profits into more stable assets—like earning interest on some U or allocating low-risk investments—can help this achievement last longer.
I am willing to openly share my method; this honesty is rare in this circle. I hope those who see this can truly understand what I mean by “anti-human nature”—not to blindly fight fear, but to use rules to turn fear into actionable steps.
Trading is a long journey of self-cultivation. Staying steady is truly more important than rushing ahead.
