From losing sleep to earning millions per month: my "stupid method" really works.


In the world of crypto trading, I went from sleepless nights due to losses to now earning a stable million a month. It’s not talent or luck, but a set of "extremely simple" methods—easy to implement, practical, and highly effective.
1. The Money Management Rule: To make money, first protect your principal
No matter how good your strategy is, one catastrophic margin call can wipe everything out. My three core rules are: position splitting, only risking 10% of 100,000 capital per trade, never exceeding 20% total position; fixed stop-loss, exit immediately if a single loss reaches 2%, no hesitation or holding; avoid high leverage, beginners are prohibited from using it, even experienced traders keep leverage under 10%. This alone can prevent 90% of margin calls.
2. Core Trading Approach: Trade less to earn more
The market isn’t about how many trades you make, but about making the right trades for profit. I teach three key points: one-way trading—either only long or only short, no flipping back and forth, which naturally improves success rate; mechanical execution—set 3% stop-loss and 5% take-profit in advance, more reliable than relying on gut feelings; control frequency—your best trades are the first 1-2 of the day, making more than 3 trades usually just giving away money.
3. Warning Zone: 90% of beginners fall here
Adding to positions against the trend is a big no-no; each time you add, you get closer to liquidation. Don’t make meaningless trades—fees accumulate and can eat up most profits. Not taking profits when in the money is equivalent to not earning; most margin calls come from greed—thinking "it can still go higher."
With the same 100,000 capital, different strategies lead to vastly different outcomes. The wrong approach is full position, high leverage, adding on dips, and eventually getting margin called. My method is to use 20,000 as the base, strictly follow 3% stop-loss and 5% take-profit, only two high-quality trades per week, with monthly returns stable at 8%, and compound annualized returns over 150%.
Remember the pro tips: use idle funds, stick to discipline, only trade unidirectionally; don’t gamble everything, don’t hold onto losing positions, and don’t try to hedge both sides. Lastly, remind yourself—contracts are not a casino. Playing with living expenses will eventually lead to failure. Protect your principal, stay alive long enough, and you’ll have the chance to make big money in the crypto world.
