Have you ever experienced this situation: every time you see market fluctuations, you get itchy hands, impulsively chase highs, and end up being trapped? Slightly relaxing your vigilance, and your account is on the verge of liquidation.



If this is your daily routine, I want to tell you a truth that many people don't want to hear—the most profitable method in the crypto world is often the "dumbest."

I've seen too many people study all kinds of flashy indicators, learn various complex trading tactics, and what is the result? Still repeatedly harvested by the market. Those who can truly survive here are not the ones with the most techniques, but those who can embed the simplest principles into their hearts. One phrase sums it up—discipline, which is self-discipline. This is the underlying logic for sustained profitability.

Over the years, I have summarized my experience into three bottom lines and four mental strategies. Violating any one of these bottom lines makes it very difficult to turn things around.

**Three bottom lines that must not be broken:**

Don’t chase highs or sell lows. The market is often most trap-filled when it’s hottest; real opportunities are usually hidden where no one is paying attention. This principle is simple, but execution is difficult.

Don’t go all-in on a single asset. This is the easiest way to commit suicide. Diversifying your holdings is not only risk management but also leaves more room for trial and error and profit opportunities.

Don’t go all-in with full position. Always remember—opportunities are far more plentiful than bullets; why bet everything at once? Leave some room; that’s wisdom.

**Four mental strategies, holding onto them is victory:**

Most losses occur during consolidation phases. Never make reckless moves during sideways markets; wait until a confirmed breakout before acting.

A big bearish candle is actually a gift. Many panic and sell during a sharp decline, but actually, this is the time to prepare for a rebound. A positive mindset is very important.

Use pyramid-style position building. Gradually deploy, invest less and less each time, and lower your cost below the market maker’s level. When a rebound happens, you profit.

Preserving capital is always more realistic than chasing dreams of huge profits. During rapid rises or consolidation phases, first take your capital out; the remaining is true profit.

These "dumb" methods are called so because they require strong patience and self-discipline. But precisely because they are simple and easy to understand, they lack complex loopholes for market makers to exploit. This is both their weakness and their most ruthless aspect.

Of course, to better implement these rules, you need precise monitoring of the entire chain data and market trends. You can explore on your own bit by bit, but if you can leverage professional tools, executing these "dumb" methods will be much more stable and accurate. You can better cut through market noise and capture real signals.

In investing, ultimately, it’s not about who is smarter, but who can stick to the rules. That’s what I want to share with you.

That's quite right, but I think there's still a missing key indicator—the dynamic adjustment mechanism for position allocation. Following the rules alone isn't enough; you also need to flexibly manage risk exposure based on market cycles.

That's right, I'm the kind of person who gets itchy at the sight of market movements. I've been caught chasing highs and getting trapped countless times.

Interestingly, every time I hear this set of rhetoric, someone ends up losing everything. Data shows that accounts that use this kind of language have an alarmingly high zeroing-out rate after six months.
