I urge all crypto beginners: stop dreaming of getting rich overnight $VELVET
With only a few thousand in startup capital, you’re obsessed with perps every day, going all-in on low-quality coins, and chasing every so-called “get rich quick” myth. This isn’t really trading—it's just walking in to hand over money. $SLX

After many years in the crypto market, I’ve seen way too many newcomers repeat the same mistakes: blindly chasing pumps based on rumors, holding through losses after following signal groups, getting greedy with profits and refusing to take them off the table—until they get deeply trapped, only left with the regret of “if only I’d made money by a little more.” $LAB

For small retail traders, the first priority has never been rapid wealth. It’s simply surviving the market. Avoid liquidation and going to zero. Compound steadily—that is the only way forward for ordinary people.

Here’s a “dumb but extremely stable” set of trading rules for retail traders. It cures the urge to FOMO, the itch to trade, and the chaos of random operations. Many people have used it to grow from a few thousand into six or seven figures:
1. Stock selection: only trust the daily MACD golden cross
Ignore hot narratives and all the “bullish” promotion from various influencers. Treat them all as noise. A daily golden cross above the zero line is the real trend-start signal. Retail traders don’t try to guess bottoms; they just follow the trend and eat the stable move.
2. Positions are based on the daily moving averages
Hold only while price is above the moving average. If it breaks below, exit immediately—no exceptions. Don’t keep fantasizing about gambling for a rebound. In the end, trading success comes down to execution.
3. Entry and exit using both price and volume
Only when you hold above the moving average AND there is a volume-accompanied breakout is it a safer buy point. Most volume-less surges are bull traps—don’t chase.
Standardized take-profit rules: take half off when up 40%; take another half off when up 80%. If price breaks back below the moving average, liquidate the entire position. Don’t fantasize about selling at the very top.
4. The stop-loss “iron law” is never loosened
If the closing price breaks below the moving average, you exit unconditionally the next day. Missing the trade means earning less—that’s fine. Holding positions hoping for a rebound only leads to deep losses. Don’t wait for miracles; don’t comfort yourself.

This strategy has no flashy technical indicators. Its core is recognizing the retail trader’s role and earning the trend dividend in a steady, grounded way. It can’t make you rich from a single trade—but it can help you break free from the cycle of repeated losses and frequent liquidations.

The crypto market is never short of opportunities. But disciplined traders who can hold the line are rare. If you can’t pick coins or can’t control your buy/sell points, sit down and follow the rules—operate steadily step by step.
