The capital amount is around 3000U, so there's no need to gamble on extremely risky contracts or altcoins. Today I want to discuss a straightforward spot trading approach that has survived—controlling drawdowns and steadily rolling positions. Some people have turned a few thousand dollars into a million using this method. It boils down to four core steps, with simple and actionable logic.

**Step 1: Choose a coin and focus on a signal—Daily MACD zero-line golden cross.**

Don’t be led astray by various news; signals on the candlestick chart are often more honest than headlines. A golden cross at the zero line indicates bullish momentum is just beginning, and this stage offers relatively more tolerance for errors.

**Step 2: Only watch the 20-day moving average for your position.**

The purest spot trading logic—hold tight when the price is above the moving average; exit if it breaks below. Don’t hope for a rebound; breaking the line and exiting is the baseline, not a suggestion.

**Step 3: Entry requires volume and price resonance.**

When the price breaks above the 20-day moving average, trading volume should also increase simultaneously. Only with both signals aligned can you go all-in. Take profits in stages: reduce half when gains reach 40%, sell 30% at 80% gains, and if the remaining position falls below the moving average, close all.

**Step 4: The only consistent stop-loss rule: if the closing price falls below the 20-day moving average, you must clear your position on the second trading day regardless of market conditions.**

A lucky counter-move can wipe out all previous profits; missing the opportunity isn’t as scary—wait until the moving average recovers and re-enter.

This approach may seem a bit simple, but for retail traders, it’s actually the easiest to stick to. Just like with some hot coins in the past—precisely capturing signals to enter, strictly controlling position size and risk—can help you ride the main upward trend.

Market opportunities never run out; what’s missing is disciplined execution. Sticking to this system is the way to avoid getting chopped up by the market.

Break the 20-day moving average and run; this iron law must be strictly followed. I've heard too many stories of rebounds, but they're just survivor bias. Using this set to play with 3000U indeed lasts longer than going all-in on contracts. If the volume isn't increased during the golden cross of the moving averages, I would rather miss the next wave and wait. The day after breaking the line must be cleared; resisting orders once beforehand is all in vain, this is the harshest rule. Playing spot trading is all about discipline, nothing else.

Breaking the line and running, it sounds simple to death, but very few can actually do it. It's really a mindset issue; greed can ruin everything in an instant. The 20-day moving average strategy is indeed stable. My friend has used it, and it's much better than blindly gambling on contracts. I've tried MACD golden cross; sometimes the signals are very dull, and you still need to look at volume to cooperate. Playing spot with 3000U is really safer. Anyway, I'm afraid of being cut by contracts. Taking profits in stages requires patience. Many people want to run at 40%. Honestly, it's about not resisting the order, but executing it is difficult. When the market drops 5%, the mentality explodes. The most comfortable moment to enter is when volume and price resonate, but often we can't react in time. I think the hardest part of this method is not choosing the coin, but truly daring to cut losses when the moving average breaks down. The moving average trading method may seem cumbersome, but it can really keep you alive. Compared to blindly chasing hot spots, it's much more reliable.

The 20-day moving average strategy is solid, but executing it really tests human nature. If it breaks the line, run. It sounds easy, but actually doing it is difficult. Most people will still gamble on a rebound. This approach is actually about seeking steady progress; it's enough for small retail investors. Honestly, it's a thousand times better than watching contract K-line blow-ups.

Break the line and run; this is the hardest part to do. Watching the rebound makes the mindset collapse.
