With only a few thousand USDT in hand, the biggest fear is reckless messing around. I've seen too many people gamble their small funds on the dream of "getting rich overnight," only to be washed out by the market.

Instead of chasing hot trends or listening to rumors, it's better to return to the basics. I’ve compiled a rough but effective trading framework. Those who follow it have gone from five figures to seven figures, and the key is that every step must not be skipped.

**Step 1: Choose Coins Using Daily MACD**

Don’t overcomplicate it. When MACD shows a bullish crossover above the zero line, that’s the signal. All the overwhelming good news and predictions from big influencers are less clear than this line. The number of times charts lie is far less than the number of times people talk.

**Step 2: Use the 20-Day Moving Average as a Trading Discipline**

This line is the line of life and death. Hold onto your position when above it; sell immediately if it breaks below. Don’t wait, don’t pray for a rebound—if it breaks, get out. This isn’t advice; it’s an iron rule. Those who dare to break it will regret it in the end.

**Step 3: Enter on Volume and Price Confirmation, Exit in Batches**

When the price breaks above the moving average with increased volume, go all in. But exiting should be strategic—if it rises 40%, take half profits; if it rises 80%, cut another 30%; if it falls below the moving average, clear everything immediately. Don’t hesitate.

**Step 4: Stop Loss Based on Closing Price**

Only look at the closing price. If it closes below the moving average, you must sell regardless of the opening the next day. Missing out isn’t scary; the market offers new opportunities every day. Wait until the moving average stabilizes before re-entering—this way, you can survive longer.

This trading approach isn’t flashy at all, and it’s even a bit dull. But in the crypto world, those who truly survive and make money are never the smartest—they are the ones who stick to the rules.

Many times, it seems like you’ve missed the market, but in reality, you’ve preserved your capital for the next wave. The rules are simple, but few can execute them fully. Don’t always regret "I should have known earlier"; start by executing a complete trading system.
