Not much capital on hand? Don't bother with complicated arbitrage or hedging strategies. Instead of flashy tricks, what retail investors really need to survive is simple— a set of trading rules that can be strictly followed to prevent your principal from being wiped out.

Many people have relied on this approach, growing their accounts from three digits to five digits, and the secret is just four points. The simpler the rules, the easier it is to stick to them.

**Choose a single signal for coin selection—Daily MACD Golden Cross**

Don’t be led astray by rumors or hearsay; turn off all other indicators. Focus on the golden cross that appears above the zero line. Coins showing this pattern tend to have more stable trends and lower error rates. Technical analysis is always more valuable than "I heard that" type of news.

**Hold your position based on one line—Daily Moving Average**

As long as the price stays above the moving average, hold tightly. Once it breaks below, exit immediately. No room for bargaining. Don’t try to be clever or anticipate a rebound; a break below the line is your signal to get out. This is an ironclad rule.

**Control your entries and exits with two points—Price and Volume**

When entering, ensure two conditions are met simultaneously: the price breaks above the moving average, and volume increases. Only when both are satisfied is it worth going all-in.

For exits, do it in stages: take some profits when the price rises 10%, and take more when it reaches 30%. If the price breaks below the moving average, don’t hesitate—liquidate the remaining position immediately.

**Stop-loss rule—Close below the moving average means you must exit the next day**

A single lucky break can wipe out all your previous gains. Missing out on a trade isn’t scary; wait until the price reclaims the moving average before re-entering. Opportunities are always present in the market; preserving your capital is the top priority.

This method may seem "dumb," but it’s precisely the survival rule that retail investors find easiest to implement and hardest for the market to eliminate. Just like during the previous PIPPIN rally, once the signal was clear, following it, managing position sizes, and setting proper odds allowed for substantial profits.

Stop regretting missing out after the fact—markets are never short of opportunities; what’s lacking is a trading discipline that can truly be executed.
