Honestly, if you only have a little over $10,000 in your account, it's better not to mess around with complicated and flashy operations.

I have a simple but practical method that many people have followed, gradually growing from a few thousand dollars to a million-level account. The core logic consists of four steps, and the simpler the approach, the easier it is to stick with.

**Step 1: Choose a Coin Based on a Single Signal**

Only act when the daily MACD shows a golden cross; ignore all other noise. No matter how aggressive the self-media hype, nothing beats reliable technical indicators. Especially the golden cross above the zero line, which has a higher success rate. Rumors and recommendations from big influencers should be approached cautiously and sparingly.

**Step 2: Trade Like a Moving Average**

Hold when the price is above the moving average; exit when it falls below. This isn't just advice—it's a discipline that must be followed. Wait for two signals before entering: the price crossing above the moving average + increased volume. Only then consider adding to your position.

For exiting, follow three stages: sell part of your holdings when gains reach 40% to lock in profits, sell more at 80%, and when the closing price falls below the moving average, clear the rest. The benefit of this approach is avoiding greed and surviving longer.

**Step 3: Stop-Loss Without Exceptions**

If the closing price falls below the moving average, you must liquidate unconditionally the next day. Relying on luck can be deadly; a single bad trade might wipe out months of gains. Many people stumble at this point—initially making 30%, but ending up with a 5% loss.

**Step 4: Manage Position Size and Risk-Reward Ratio**

This method may seem simple, but it's the safest for retail investors. For example, during the recent PIPPIN rally, many used this approach to enter, controlling their risk-reward ratio, and ultimately capturing the full upside.

Market opportunities are always present; it depends on whether you can stick to the rules. Many people don't lack opportunities—they lack discipline. Today, follow a method; tomorrow, change your mind. Missing out isn't scary—just wait for the moving average to turn back up and add to your position.

Those who survive and profit in this market are never the smartest, but the ones who dare to act first and can maintain discipline.
