The size of the capital determines the ceiling of your strategy. If you only have 10,000 USDT in your account, instead of messing around with complicated derivatives strategies, it's better to focus your energy on a methodology that can truly survive.
I've seen too many traders grow their initial capital from five figures to seven figures, not relying on advanced skills, but on discipline. The core logic is just four steps, the simpler the better.
**Level One: Signal for Coin Selection**
Don’t listen to the hype. On the daily chart, watch the MACD indicator and wait for a golden cross. Especially the golden cross above the zero line—that’s a stable entry point. Technical analysis is definitely more reliable than any insider rumors.
**Level Two: Operations Only Follow Moving Averages**
Hold when the price is above the daily moving average, and sell when it drops below. Sounds simple? Exactly because it’s simple, most people can’t stick to it. Once the closing price breaks the moving average, exit unconditionally at the next open. This isn’t advice; it’s a rule that must be followed. Overconfidence is a direct cause of account blow-ups.
**Level Three: Two Conditions for Entry Timing**
Breaking the moving average alone isn’t enough; volume must also increase simultaneously. When both signals appear together, it’s a green light for full position entry. For exits, operate in batches: sell some when gains reach 40%, sell more at 80%, and keep a bottom position to ride the waves. If the price falls below the moving average, all remaining positions must be cleared—no exceptions.
**Level Four: Ironclad Stop-Loss Rule**
When the closing price falls below the daily moving average, your trade should end. Any rebound the next day doesn’t change this conclusion. Many retail traders get wiped out here—thinking a lucky bounce will save them, they lose all profits from the past three months. Missing the opportunity isn’t the worst; markets often rebound, and when the moving average reestablishes support, you can buy back in.
This method isn’t flashy at all, and it’s even a bit dumb. But precisely this simple approach aligns best with retail traders’ execution ability and is least likely to be eliminated by the market. Looking at PIPPIN’s recent market cycle, those who follow this signal system for entry and exit have enjoyed handsome profits. Proper position control and a balanced risk-reward ratio, over a complete cycle, will naturally lead to astonishing gains.
Market opportunities are always present, but the prerequisite is having a clear, executable trading discipline. Without discipline, no matter how many opportunities you have, they are just illusions.

That's true, discipline is indeed the most valuable, but very few people can truly stick to it.

Discipline is the only cheat code; everything else is fake.

Discipline is easy to talk about, but how many can really stick to the end... I've seen a bunch of people, in the first month still stubbornly sticking to the moving average, by the second month they start listening to rumors and buying recklessly, and finally they suffer heavy losses and give up.

Discipline is definitely important, but the problem is that knowing and doing are two different things.
I just failed because of overconfidence; I thought I could rebound when the moving average broke, but I ended up getting liquidated directly.
Simplicity is the hardest to master; everyone wants to learn it, but no one can actually execute it.
The MACD golden cross strategy is indeed reliable, but you have to be truly willing to cut losses, which really tests human nature.
Taking 40% out in parts is more interesting than my previous all-in or all-out approach.

Discipline is easy to talk about but hard to implement; few people actually follow through. I am one of those who failed due to overconfidence.
---
Even after breaking the moving average, I still want to wait for a rebound, but the rebound turns into a rebound after the rebound, and all the profits are gone.
---
The simplest methods are the hardest to stick to, and that’s no lie.
---
MACD golden cross with increased volume sounds not so sexy, but it has indeed yielded quite a few gains.
---
Trying to trade derivatives with 10,000 USDT—aren't you just asking for death?
---
A clumsy method beats having no method at all; by the time you realize it, you've already lost half of your account.
---
If the closing price breaks the moving average, just get out—sounds harsh, but in reality, it’s the cleanest way to cut losses.
---
I’ve seen too many people die on the phrase "The rebound will be tomorrow."
---
I’ve tried the logic of selling in batches; it really helps control greed.
---
Instead of studying options allocation, it’s better to learn how to survive and observe next year’s market.

To be honest, discipline really hit me. I was greedy before, still trying to catch the bottom after the moving average broke, and ended up going back to square one.
