Trading in the crypto space, when your funds are limited, don't think about fancy moves. What you truly need is not flashy operations, but to keep your account alive.

There are only two ways retail investors lose money: chasing hot trends and not cutting losses. Cut these two off, and your account will naturally grow slowly. The following method may sound "dumb," but precisely because it's simple, it's most suitable for small funds—less likely to blow up, clear logic, and easy to replicate and execute consistently.

**Step 1: Focus on one signal when choosing coins**

Daily MACD golden cross. Don't bother with all the fancy stuff—no news, no listening to group calls, no trusting anyone's words. Indicators are just indicators; emotions are emotions. Mixing the two is a recipe for disaster. A safe choice is a golden cross above the zero line—this setup has a higher probability of winning. Simply put: if there's no golden cross, don't touch.

**Step 2: Trade based on one line only**

The moving average. Remember this rule: hold when above the line, sell when below. If the price is above the moving average, hold or add to your position; if it closes below the moving average, exit. This isn't advice—it's a rule. Don't hesitate; the market loves to teach those who hesitate.

**Step 3: Watch two things for entry and exit**

Price and volume. Breakouts that make money must meet these conditions: the price is above the moving average, and there is an increase in volume. Breakouts without volume are just show; real breakouts always have volume.

Take profits in two steps: take some profit after a 40% increase; take more after an 80% increase to hedge risks. The remaining part? Wait until the close drops below the moving average, then exit completely.

**Step 4: One sentence for stop-loss**

If the closing price drops below the moving average, exit unconditionally the next day. Understand this deeply: one lucky break is a failure. One failure leads to another, and eventually, all gains are wiped out.

Missing the move isn't scary. Wait until it reclaims the moving average before buying again. Your goal isn't to catch the bottom; it's to make steady profits and stay alive.

A harsh truth: this method isn't clever, and it's even a bit dumb. But for small funds, the biggest fear is not slow gains but going to zero after one impulsive move. Market opportunities are always there; for those without discipline, more chances just mean faster destruction.
