Three months ago, I was just like most traders:
Jumping into every hyped coin I saw on Twitter.
Buying at the top because “it’s going to the moon.”
Selling in panic the moment the chart turned red.
The result? My portfolio was in a constant state of decline.
Then I stopped guessing. I built one simple, repeatable system — and it completely changed the game. In 90 days, I grew a small $500 portfolio into over $5,000. No signals groups, no crazy leverage, and no gambling. Just rules.

Step 1: The Golden Rule — No FOMO Buys
My first change was simple: I stopped buying green candles.
Instead, I only enter after a significant dip — at least 20–30% down from the recent high.
This ensures I’m buying when others are fearful, not when the crowd is euphoric.

Step 2: The “3-Indicator” Confirmation
Before placing any trade, I run my buy checklist on the 4-hour chart. All three must be present:
1️⃣ RSI < 40 — Coin is oversold.
2️⃣ MACD bullish crossover — Trend reversal confirmed.
3️⃣ Volume spike — Whales are starting to buy in.
If one of these signals is missing, I skip the trade. No exceptions.

Step 3: The Tiered Take-Profit Plan
Instead of selling my entire position at once, I secure profits gradually:
TP1 (+20%) → Sell 50% (this recovers my initial investment).
TP2 (+40%) → Sell another 25% for profit.
TP3 (+60%+) → Let the final 25% ride with a trailing stop-loss.
This way, I never miss big pumps, but I also never risk giving back all my gains.

Why This Works
This approach removes emotions from trading. By sticking to the rules:
My losses are small and controlled.
My winning trades compound over time.
I avoid getting trapped in overhyped, overbought setups.

💬 Final Thoughts
Trading isn’t about guessing the next moonshot — it’s about consistency. If you follow a structured plan like this, you won’t win every trade, but you’ll win the long game.
