After years of exploring in the crypto space, I have discovered an effective trading approach. The core logic is not complicated: using the daily MACD golden cross as a direction indicator, combined with the daily moving average as an entry and exit anchor.



**Step 1: Determine the trend with the daily MACD**
Open the daily chart and filter for coins showing a MACD golden cross, especially those with a cross above the zero line—these assets tend to have a more solid trend. Focus solely on the daily timeframe; there's no need to get caught up in minute-level noise.

**Step 2: Position management relies on a single moving average**
Stick to the key level of the daily moving average. Hold the position as long as the price stays above it. If the price effectively breaks below, exit immediately. The rule is straightforward and clear.

**Step 3: Timing entries and exits**
When the price recovers above the daily moving average along with increased volume, consider adding to your position. The exit strategy involves three stages: sell 1/3 of your holdings when the gain reaches 40%; sell another 1/3 at 80%; and if the price falls below the daily moving average, clear the remaining position.

**Step 4: Risk management is the bottom line**
This step is often overlooked but is crucial. Since the strategy relies on the daily moving average as a buy signal, if the price drops below it the next day, you must sell all holdings immediately—never hold onto the hope that it will bounce back. Although the probability of a breakdown with this method is low, maintaining a defensive mindset is essential. After selling, wait for the price to rise back above the moving average before re-entering.

The advantage of this framework is its simplicity and ease of implementation, avoiding over-reliance on multiple indicators and instead capturing the main market rhythm.

Basically, it's still the same old tired moving average strategy, just repackaged in a different way. How many times can the MACD golden cross fool people?

It's easy to say but hard to do. I've also tried this logic, but the key is whether you can truly implement stop-loss.

Looks good, but it seems like this set of logic is easily exploited for repeated gains in a volatile market.

If I had seen this method a few years ago, I wouldn't still be losing money now...

To be honest, I've used this approach before. It's simple, straightforward, effective, and most importantly, not easy to get trapped. Those who constantly watch the 15-minute K-line are indeed more likely to get beaten up.

To be honest, the daily moving average system is indeed clean, but I still think MACD can easily give false signals in a bear market. Have you guys ever fallen into this trap?
