Why do many retail investors in the crypto space see their principal shrink the more they hustle? The key lies in the chaotic logic of trading methods. Many are fooled by "signal providers," swallowed by contract leverage, and end up with insomnia and losses. In fact, the underlying logic of making money isn't complicated; rather, those seemingly "rustic" methods are the hardest for market manipulators to kill.

Today, I share a trading system that retail investors can directly copy, centered around four steps. It doesn't require staying up late to watch the charts, and it's less likely to lead to liquidation—just follow the steps, and turning pocket money into a larger principal is entirely feasible.

**Step 1: Choose coins by weekly RSI oversold rebound**

Don't listen to "insider tips" in groups; just focus on the weekly RSI indicator. Prioritize coins with RSI below 30 that are turning upward. This is the moment when the downtrend is exhausted and the rebound has the highest success rate. Compared to various rumors, this indicator system's success rate is ten times higher. Mainstream coins like APT also apply this logic.

**Step 2: Operate using the hourly Bollinger Bands middle band**

After selecting a coin, switch to the hourly chart and treat the middle Bollinger Band as a strict rule. When the price is above the middle band, hold tightly without selling. The moment it breaks below the middle band, exit immediately. Don't believe in comforting words like "wait a bit longer, it'll bounce back"; the market will teach you the importance of stop-loss harshly.

**Step 3: Combine entry/exit points with price + turnover rate**

Entry conditions are clear: when the price stabilizes above the middle band, the 24-hour turnover rate must double and break through the quarterly moving average level. This double confirmation greatly reduces the risk of false breakouts.

The pace of reducing positions should also be strictly followed: when gains reach 30%, sell 1/3 of the position; at 60%, sell another 1/3; the remaining part can be held or sold if the price breaks below the middle band, locking in profits while avoiding missing out on further gains due to full position.

**Step 4: Stop-loss is a dead principle**

If the closing price breaks below the Bollinger Bands middle band, you must cut losses at the next open—better to take a small profit than hold through a loss. If the signal clearly invalidates, wait for the next entry opportunity. Don't try to average down repeatedly. The recent ORD I rebound last month, following this system, yielded a 50% increase from the bottom.

The power of this method lies in removing emotional factors, turning trading into a repeatable, quantifiable process. Opportunities and profits are never lacking in the market; what’s missing are those who truly stick to discipline and dare to be simple. Stop blindly following trends, opening positions recklessly, or avoiding stop-losses. Find a system that suits you, stick to it, and time will give you the answer.
