After years of wandering and struggling in the crypto market, I discovered a shocking truth: the more people study their accounts, the more they turn green.



Look at those "data analysts" around us. Their phone screensaver is BTC candlestick charts, their computers run 10 data websites simultaneously, and they stay up late chasing "secret analyses" from KOLs. They can recite MACD golden crosses and death crosses effortlessly, are well-versed in whale transfers on the chain, and have a set of macroeconomic cycle theories. Sounds impressive, right?

But what is the reality? Seeing a sudden surge in trading volume, they rush in, only to buy at short-term highs. Hearing about a large trader signaling distribution, they panic and cut their positions at the bottom price. They make over 20 trades a day, and in the end, the fees eat up their principal, crushing their confidence.

Where is the problem? Information overload itself is the best tool for market manipulators to harvest your gains. When you indulge in complex indicators and fragmented news, you lose sight of the two most critical signals: market sentiment and price trend.

I’ve also taken this wrong turn myself. I used to stack indicators on my screen like a battlefield command center. After several consecutive losses, I finally realized: complexity doesn’t mean correctness; simplicity is the ultimate wisdom.

Now, I follow just three trading rules:

First, focus only on the weekly EMA21 line. Break above and hold, break below and exit; all fluctuations in between are noise. No matter how intense the short-term volatility, I don’t move.

Second, review the market for 20 minutes daily. Mark support and resistance levels, place orders in advance, and stick to execution. Never let emotions dictate your trades during market hours.

Third, absolutely avoid "three-no" assets: tokens with no practical application, no real community consensus, and no long-term narrative support. No matter how hot they are, I don’t look at them.

The logic behind SOL’s recent rally is exactly this—return to the weekly EMA21 for entry opportunities, break through key resistance for adding positions, and ignore all other analyses as distractions.

The cruelest truth in trading: it’s not that you don’t research deeply enough, but that you act too frequently. The real money-making logic is often hidden in the simplest rules.

Damn, isn't this just my painful lesson? I used to look at data every day until my eyes hurt, and in the end, I still got cut... Now I stick to one line and fight stubbornly. Simple and straightforward, that's how I survive longer.

Damn, I'm the idiot who operates more than 20 times a day, and the transaction fees eat up more than the profits haha

You're absolutely right. My friends who check ten websites every day are now regulars on the list of newbie investors.

To be honest, I'm the kind of person who has been liquidated multiple times haha. Now I only look at EMA21, delete all other indicators, and surprisingly, my account isn't as green anymore.

Damn, isn't this talking about me? Checking the market over 20 times a day and still losing money, that guy... Forget it, starting tomorrow I'll only look at the weekly chart.

Haha, you're right. I used to be the same way, never leaving my phone, staring at charts all day until my eyes blurred. As a result, I spent two months' worth of salary on fees in just one month...
