There is an interesting phenomenon in the crypto world: the more complex the trading system, the faster it dies. Conversely, the simplest logic can help people survive the longest.

I know a senior who, over ten years ago, just ran a small shop, and later entered the crypto space. He didn't do any sophisticated quantitative analysis, didn't chase hot trends, and didn't gamble on emotional swings. Instead, he developed a very simple method—ultimately growing his assets to eight figures.

He says trading doesn't need to be flashy. There are only four steps: selecting coins → buying → position management → selling. Each step is as clear as it can be.

**Step 1: Daily chart, only focus on strong coins**

Open the daily chart, ignore everything else, and focus on one thing: MACD.

Only trade coins with MACD golden crosses. Prioritize those above the zero line—this indicates the trend has already started, not a rebound or a bet on reversal. This approach has the highest success rate.

**Step 2: One line rules all decisions**

Return to the daily chart, and only need to hold one line: the daily moving average.

Hold when the price is above the line; exit when below. No need to guess where the top or bottom is. As long as the trend persists, stay in; if the trend ends, get out. It’s that simple.

**Step 3: Buying only requires two conditions**

The coin price effectively breaks above the daily moving average.

Trading volume also moves above the daily moving average simultaneously.

If both conditions are met? Go all-in—buy the trend, not guesswork.

**Step 4: Selling rules (this is the core)**

Selling has three clear points:

- If the wave gains 40%? Sell 1/3 to lock in profits.

- If it reaches 80%? Sell another 1/3 to secure gains.

- If it breaks below the daily moving average? Sell all—no hesitation.

The most critical part here is to always execute stop-loss. Since the daily moving average is used as the buy-in benchmark, if the price breaks down—especially if it drops sharply the next day—sell everything without hesitation. Don’t hold onto false hopes.

Although this coin selection logic makes the probability of a true breakdown quite low, prioritizing risk awareness ensures you never suffer losses.

After selling, don’t fear missing out. Wait until it re-establishes above the daily moving average, then buy back at the original or even lower price. Opportunities will always come.

**Why is this method effective?**

Because it doesn’t chase huge profits, doesn’t rely on quick reflexes, and isn’t based on luck. Its advantages are clear logic, high fault tolerance, and long-term stability. An ordinary person, with patience and following this framework, can survive longer in the crypto space and make money.
