Holding thousands or tens of thousands of dollars, trying to turn the tide? I advise you to dispel that thought.

Over the years, I've seen too many people gamble with small amounts to get rich quickly. The result? Either they revert to their original state or are completely out. No one is exempt.

Those who can truly grow their accounts never rely on fancy tricks; instead, they follow the most "boring" approach.

In simple terms, it’s six words—follow the trend, stick to discipline.

Looking at the daily MACD is enough to choose coins. I don’t chase news, I don’t listen to stories—that’s my principle. A golden cross above the zero line? That proves the direction is correct; everything else is noise.

Trade around the 20-day moving average. Stay steady when above it; if it drops below, exit immediately. Don’t hesitate or hold onto hope in the middle—this is the bottom line.

Volume must be considered when entering. A rise without volume support is not worth touching.

After making money, take profits in stages—sell part once it reaches a certain level, and let the rest be decided by the market. When it breaks below the moving average again, clear all remaining positions.

Stop-loss is based on the closing price, no exceptions. If the close isn’t stable, the second candlestick must be a sign to exit. Don’t give yourself an excuse. Missing out isn’t a regret; wait for a strong signal to re-enter. That way, you’ll earn more peace of mind.

This trading method is boring to death, even considered dull.

But the ones who last the longest in the crypto world are those who can grit their teeth and trade according to discipline.

The market never lacks opportunities; what’s missing is your patience at critical moments to wait for that truly own chance.

That's right, but in practice, nine out of ten people can't even play it. --- I've stuck with the 20-day moving average strategy for three months, but I finally broke my resolve—it was just too boring. --- Making money through discipline may sound dull, but it really helps you live longer. --- I've tried the dream of turning small money into big, but now I just follow the rules steadily—it's much more reliable. --- I'm tired of the MACD golden cross strategy, but it is indeed effective. The problem is, I always want to take shortcuts. --- The trick to partial profit-taking is to be ruthless and willing to cut losses. --- Stop-loss at the closing price is non-negotiable; it's easy to say but deadly to implement.

You're right, but very few people can truly stick with it. --- If you want to get rich quick, just wait to be cut like a leek. --- Discipline is easy to talk about, but as soon as you lose money, you forget everything. I've seen too many cases like this. --- The 20-day moving average strategy is indeed boring, but those who survive are using it, which is a bit outrageous. --- I've repeatedly fallen into the trap of setting stop-loss at the closing price, but I finally understood. --- There's nothing wrong with the market not lacking these basics; the key is whether you can wait patiently. --- Looking at MACD and volume are actually the most effective, isn't that ironic? --- It's easy to say "missed the opportunity, no regrets," but in reality, it requires a strong mindset. --- The people who have been in the crypto world for a long time are all boring people, I need to remember that. --- Gradually cashing out is indeed more stable and more comfortable than going all-in and clearing the position.

That's right, discipline is necessary, but to be honest, most people can't do it. --- I've used the 20-day moving average strategy before, and it indeed makes money, but it's too hard to stick with. Every rebound makes me want to chase again. --- The point about stop-loss at closing price really hit me. I used to refuse to admit losses no matter what, and now my account is still lying in the hospital. --- No chasing news, no listening to stories—that's true. Look at how the coins that tell stories are doing now. --- Not regretting missing out—it's easy to say, but in reality, it can be truly despairing to actually do it. --- Volume is a key point. I’ve previously fallen for price increases with no volume. --- I now believe in the tactic of taking profits in batches. Not being greedy for the last bit of gains really helps you survive longer.
