From 2 million in debt to driving a big G: The MACD survival rules of a professional trader
This is not some bullshit wealth code, but a true story stitched back together after being pierced by the market.
In 2019, I lost 2 million due to a needle from ETH
Fully leveraged, in a frenzy of altcoins, I thought I was the chosen one.
As a result, after one needle, my account shrank to 90,000, and while standing on the rooftop smoking, my hands shook so much I couldn't light the cigarette.
On March 12, 2020, Bitcoin halved, but I made 23 times
Everyone was panic selling, but I was staring at the MACD—
Divergence at the bottom of the histogram + death cross on the daily line, a textbook-level signal for a crash.
I reversed with a 20x short position, three days, from 90,000 to 2 million.
Not only did I pay off my debts, but I also bought a big G, not to show off, but just to prove: the market always rewards calm madmen.
Before LUNA went to zero in 2022, MACD saved me once again
Three consecutive top divergences on the 4-hour level, fully shorting, a week to get an eight-digit payout.
Bull market? Bear market? It makes no difference to me; I only believe in the emotions behind the candlesticks and the honesty of the MACD.
Practical strategy: Double in bull markets, survive in bear markets
Bull market offense (cashing in on the trend)
Golden cross above the zero line + volume breakout → Close your eyes and go all in, the trend is your friend
Histogram continuously expanding + price flying close to the upper Bollinger band → Hold on until a death cross appears
Bear market defense (survival mode)
Death cross below the zero line + volume breaking support → Reverse to short, don’t hesitate
Histogram shrinking rebound + price can’t even touch EMA30 → Short at every high
Extreme market survival guide
Black swan warning: 4-hour top divergence + large transfers to exchanges → Run, don’t look back
Needle massacre: 1-minute MACD death cross + explosive liquidation volume → Shut down the trading software, preserve your capital
The last three pieces of advice (worth 2 million in tuition)
Don’t blindly trust any indicators, but MACD is the hardest for manipulators to fake—it doesn’t lie, it’s just that most people can’t understand it.
Earn more in bull markets, lose less in bear markets; only those who survive have the right to talk about the future.
Stop-loss is your life; one liquidation = game over.
Tonight’s key battle:
BTC at 110,000, if there is “shrinking histogram + top divergence” = major correction warning
ETH at 2,700, death cross confirmed = best entry point for short positions
