There's an interesting phenomenon: the people who make big money in the crypto world are often not those chasing hot trends or trading on rumors. I know a big shot personally—he started out in business in his early years, and after entering the crypto space, he took a contrarian approach—avoiding all the flashy tricks and sticking to a single system. Over a few years, his assets grew to eight figures.
His method isn't glamorous at all; it boils down to four core steps: selecting coins, entering the market, managing positions, and exiting. It sounds very basic, but very few people actually execute it strictly.
**First, about selecting coins.** He only looks at daily charts. As soon as the daily MACD shows a golden cross, he considers it. He ignores all other timeframes, candlestick patterns, and news. Especially prioritizing those with the daily MACD golden cross above the zero line—these signals tend to be the most stable and have the highest tolerance for error.
**Before entering, you must look at one line—the daily moving average.** This is the only criterion for judgment. If the price is above the daily moving average, hold with confidence; if it drops below, exit immediately—no other options. It’s that simple and straightforward.
**To truly enter, two conditions must be met simultaneously.** The price must be above the daily moving average, and trading volume must also be increasing. Only then is the trade likely to succeed. During the upward trend, take profits in stages—sell one-third when it gains 40%, then another third at 80%, and if the price falls below the moving average, close all remaining positions.
**The last key point: stop-losses are non-negotiable.** Even if you think the signal is perfect, if the price drops below the moving average the next day after buying, sell all without hesitation. This isn’t about punishing yourself but protecting your capital. Once it stabilizes above the moving average again, you can re-enter.
Honestly, this strategy isn’t exciting at all; it’s especially suitable for retail investors to follow long-term. No pursuit of huge profits, no gambling on directions—just riding the trend. There’s a harsh reality in the crypto world: those who can stick to what seem like the "dumbest" rules are often the ones who end up thriving the most.

It sounds like strict discipline enforcement, but this thing really makes money. I also know people like this around me, who are very annoying and have no stories to tell.
Sell when the price falls below the moving average, and ignore even the most perfect candlestick patterns. Honestly, it's not attractive at all. But on the other hand, it seems like these people never go all-in and lose everything...

Wow, this is what it means to make a fortune quietly. Not chasing the trend actually earns the most. I guess I was proven wrong.

That's right, it's the simplest things that make the most money, but unfortunately most people can't actually execute them. I myself always get itchy hands, and as soon as I see the news, I want to chase...
Can you really reach eight figures just by relying on daily MACD and moving averages? It sounds a bit too simple, but then again, that is indeed the hardest thing to do.

Honestly, I knew about this stuff a long time ago, but I just can't stick with it... I always think about whether I can make more money, but every time I look back, the principal is gone.

Basically, it's about discipline. Most people get wiped out by emotions and greed; once the daily moving average breaks, they lose everything.

You're right, execution is the hardest part. I know several people who study indicators every day, but when it comes to critical moments, they hold their positions, and in the end, they still get wiped out.
