In crypto trading, the most common mistake is overemphasizing short-term fluctuations. After years of trial and error, I finally realized: simple methods are often the most effective.
Many people indulge in 15-minute and 1-hour candlestick charts, their eyes glued to the screen, unable to relax their minds. In fact, most of those small movements are market noise, and chasing them will only lead you to make more wrong decisions. The trend on the daily chart is the real signal worth paying attention to.
**My Four-Step Trading System**
**Step 1: Select Targets** Spend time each day scanning for coins where the MACD indicator forms a golden cross on the daily chart. Pay special attention to cases where the golden cross appears above the zero line—the zero line is the boundary between bulls and bears. When the signal is above it, it indicates that the bulls have taken control. This is the first signal to consider entering.
**Step 2: Confirm the Trend** Use only a 20-day moving average with a surprisingly simple rule: hold when the price is above the MA, reduce positions if it falls below. When the coin is trading above the 20-day MA, it indicates a medium-term uptrend, and you can consider building or adding to your position. Conversely, risk management should be considered if it drops below.
**Steps 3 and 4 to be continued...**
The core of this method is: abandon obsession with complex indicators, focus on the most effective signals. Reduce trading frequency and increase the win rate of each trade—that is the way to long-term profitability.

Exactly right, I just got caught on the minute chart, staring at the screen every day until my eyes are blind.

I agree with this logic; finally, someone has explained it thoroughly.

Sounds good, but does the 20-day moving average really work in a sideways market?

The 20-day moving average is the same old story; I've tried it before and it doesn't work well.

Sounds good, but I still think the 20-day moving average system is a bit too simple and easy to get trapped.
