From Novice to Expert: The Mechanical Trading Method I Developed Over Four Years

When I first entered the scene, I also chased highs and cut losses, and my account felt like a roller coaster until the market taught me a harsh lesson.

Later, I realized: In the crypto space, money earned through luck will eventually be lost through skill. The ones who truly survive are those who turn strategy into muscle memory.

My trading system is simple to the point of being dull, just four steps:

1. Select Coins: Only look for MACD Golden Cross (above the 0 axis)

Only focus on the daily MACD forming a golden cross above the 0 axis; this signal has a success rate of over 70%. In March this year, BTC was a typical example, rising over 30% two weeks after the golden cross.

Never touch a golden cross below the 0 axis—that's a trap set by the market makers; I have stumbled three times on this.

2. Lifeline: 20-day Moving Average

This line is my trading lifeline:

Price stabilizes above the 20-day moving average → Enter decisively if it breaks below the 20-day moving average → Immediately liquidate

I used to think, “Just wait a little longer,” which turned small losses into deep traps. Now I strictly execute this, and my mindset has become more relaxed.

3. Positioning: Always leave an exit

No matter how optimistic I am about the market, I never go all in:

When confirming a valid breakout, I enter fully (not exceeding 60% of total capital); at other times, I test with 50% of my position.

Profit-taking is more mechanical: Take 1/3 off at 35% profit, take another 1/3 at 70%, and let the rest fluctuate—real money is securing profits.

4. Stop Loss: Cut the clutter swiftly

Immediately stop loss if it breaks below the 20-day moving average, even if there’s a V-shaped rebound the next day; I will never regret it. 90% of those who face liquidation die from hesitation; I once let a 30% loss turn into 80% because I couldn’t bear to cut my position.

This method has no secrets; it’s about executing “simplicity” to the extreme. With it, I transformed from a novice chasing highs and cutting losses into a stable profit-making “veteran.”

In the crypto space, doubling your money isn’t hard; the challenge is not losing your principal.

Don’t always think about “going all in for financial freedom”; first learn not to lose money, then talk about making money. By adhering to discipline, you’ve already won over 80% of people.
