Let's talk about the real situation of trading small funds. Holding 100,000 yuan and wanting to make a name in the crypto world, the key is not relying on luck but whether you can find a repeatable and executable method. I'll break down the trading framework I've used over the years, hoping to inspire everyone.



**The core idea is straightforward: rely on two signals at the daily chart level**

The first signal is coin selection. Open the daily chart and look at MACD; as long as a golden cross appears, the coin enters the candidate pool. But don't chase every golden cross—prefer those above the zero line, as these have a significantly higher success rate. The reason is simple—golden crosses near the bottom are often rebounds, while those in the middle are true trend initiations. Avoid meme coins; that's a waste of time and bullets.

The second signal is the daily moving average. The trading rule is simple: if the price stays above the daily moving average, hold; if it falls below, sell immediately on the same day. This sounds too simple, but simplicity often results in the highest execution rate.

**Position management is the dividing line between profit and loss**

Before entering, look at two things: price and volume. When the price breaks above the daily moving average, and volume also stays above the average volume, consider adding to your position or even going all-in. This indicates that not only is the price rising, but volume is supporting it—true breakout confirmation.

Exit in three steps. When gains reach 40%, sell one-third to lock in some profits—this prevents full loss. When gains reach 80%, sell another third; leave the rest to follow the market. If the price drops below the daily moving average in the meantime, don't hesitate—liquidate the remaining position immediately. The benefit of this approach is that you never hold on at the peak nor chase after falling prices.

**Stop-loss is the most important habit to develop in trading**

The daily moving average is not just a reference for entry and exit but also your firewall. If a coin drops below the daily moving average tomorrow after entering today, regardless of any positive or negative news, sell all. Such situations are rare but once they happen, it means you've misread the trend. After selling, wait for the price to stabilize above the daily moving average before re-entering if opportunities arise. Although this process may seem like "cutting losses," protecting your principal over chasing every rise is more important in the long run.

**Insights from practical cases**

Recently, a major exchange launched a new contract product. I entered a long position following this framework, setting a 10:1 risk-reward ratio. Unexpectedly, within a few hours, the price surged from 0.26 to 0.39, nearly a 48% increase. Although hindsight makes it easy to analyze, the entire process confirmed the effectiveness of this method—no need to pinpoint exact entry points, just follow the big trend, and let risk management handle the rest.

**Final thoughts**

The beauty of this method is its simplicity—simple enough that overthinking won't cause you to miss signals. It’s also strict enough that emotions won't influence your decisions. For friends with limited capital who want to maintain a steady profit rhythm, this is sufficient. The real challenge isn't learning these four steps but executing them strictly every time, avoiding excuses and luck-based decisions.

Is the daily moving average really that powerful? I feel like I'm always getting cut off every time.

You're right, execution is the key to success.

To put it simply, execution is the hell --- Hoping to turn around with 100,000 yuan, the key is to stick to discipline --- The daily moving average system is really reliable, just afraid I can't hold on --- Selling one-third at 40%—how strong must your mindset be to do that? --- It looks simple, but the toughest part during actual trading is emotional control --- I've been burned by stop-loss before, now I believe in it --- It still comes down to discipline; technical analysis is actually a minor issue --- The golden cross above the zero axis is indeed reliable; I've tried it several times --- Don't make excuses for yourself; this really hits home --- Being able to execute every time is the real dividing line between making and losing money --- A 48% return sounds great, but what are the chances? --- The daily chart level is stable enough for retail investors; no need for frequent trading

Honestly, talking about plans on paper is always the easiest; execution is the real hell. Is the daily moving average really that magical? Why do I feel numb from cutting losses? Hundred thousand yuan wants to make a name, but first, just stay alive. This framework sounds pretty right, but brother, you just can't get past the emotional hurdle. Running away with 40% and leaving one-third behind? My coins are always the type to go to either 0 or 100. Selling one-third and then watching it rise tenfold—have you ever experienced that feeling?

In other words, it's about discipline; most people get wiped out by their emotions. --- It looks simple, but actually executing it is really a hurdle. --- This daily moving average strategy has indeed made money before, but the key is to be able to endure. --- Reducing one-third of your position when gains reach 40% is a good move to prevent getting trapped. --- Playing with 10:1 leverage is quite aggressive; you really have guts. --- The question is, can this still be used when the bear market comes? --- I've heard the MACD golden cross so many times, but this time it feels a bit more reliable. --- I didn't pay enough attention to volume in conjunction with the breakout before. --- Cutting losses is the hardest, especially with coins you believe in. --- Simple methods are often the most effective, but people tend to prefer complexity.

Basically, it's about discipline. Whether you can really execute is the real dividing line. --- The detail of the golden cross above the 0 axis is interesting; it filters out too many false signals. --- When the daily moving average breaks, just run. It sounds simple, but actually doing it is really difficult. Emotional management is always the biggest opponent. --- Selling one-third at 40% profit is indeed a conservative approach, but I still tend to be greedy haha. --- Starting with 100,000 capital using this logic is about right; smaller amounts would need to consider trading fees. --- I’ve seen similar ideas before, but few people really stick to them. In the end, it all comes down to execution. --- Breaking through with volume confirmation is very important; otherwise, it’s easy to get crushed. --- The 48% success rate sounds great, but we have to admit that luck plays a significant role too. --- Strict stop-loss is spot on, but losing too many times can really shake your confidence. --- Simple methods are actually the hardest because they’re too boring and easy to make up stories yourself.
