#数字资产动态追踪 Crypto trading has an abnormal phenomenon I've always wanted to talk about: those who pile on the most strategies often die the fastest.



I’ve had my fair share of setbacks early on. RSI, MACD, Bollinger Bands, volume... I wanted to load all indicators, stay up late watching candlesticks, afraid of missing a single penny of the market. And the result? My account still shrank, and my mindset collapsed along with it.

Later, I changed my approach and realized: the simpler, the more profitable. Some people around me started with just a few thousand USDT and managed to grow it to hundreds of thousands. When I asked for their secret, their answers were surprisingly consistent — delete all the fancy stuff, and keep only a core framework that can be repeatedly executed.

**My current trading process is actually quite dull:**

1. No frequent trading. When the market hasn't formed a complete pattern or signals aren't clear, I stay put. I might not make many trades in a year, but each one is confident.

2. Fully mechanical. Before entering a trade, I set fixed stop-loss and take-profit levels. When hit, I exit. No stubborn holding, no adding positions, no "wait and see." The biggest benefit of this is that market ups and downs have nothing to do with my mood.

3. Simplify charts. My daily chart usually just has one moving average, and I only scan the 4-hour chart for a few minutes each day — if there's a pattern, I place an order; if not, I just close the computer. It sounds "lazy," but this laziness saves me from a thousand wrong decisions.

4. Take profits promptly. Whenever my account reaches a certain profit, my first reaction is to withdraw the principal. The rest is money earned from the market, used for subsequent trades, with very little psychological pressure. You'll find that without the pressure of the principal, decision quality actually improves.

Listening to me say this, many might think I’m "cheating," as if I lack "technical content." But this is the truth of the crypto world: long-term stable returns never favor the smart; they only reward those with discipline.

You don’t need to chase every surge. You just need to wait for the few opportunities you truly understand and are confident in, then execute in the simplest way, repeating over and over. $BTC $RVV The market offers countless opportunities, but your personal opportunities might be few.

If you’re exhausted by complex indicators and emotional swings, maybe it’s time to stop and ask yourself: Is my trading system due for a "subtraction"? It’s easy to say, but hard to do — because simplicity itself is the hardest. But once you stick to it, it’s often the most stable.

This logic actually doesn't hold up upon scrutiny... From a technical perspective, the conclusion that "simple = profitable" lacks sample support, and the survivor bias is so obvious that it hasn't even been mentioned.

That's really true. I was driven crazy by that bunch of indicators before. Now I've learned to be smarter, and fewer trades actually help the account grow faster.

That's so true. I used to have indicators filling the entire screen, and I still ended up losing badly. Really? The more I learn, the more I realize that less is more. A single moving average can kill all those complicated ideas. Pre-setting stop-loss and take-profit points is brilliant. It instantly stabilizes your mindset, and market ups and downs have nothing to do with you. Laziness is the strongest trading system. If you don't believe it, look at those consistently profitable traders—they're just earning while lying down. Mechanical execution may sound boring, but sticking to it is what separates experts from retail traders.

Honestly, no matter how many indicators are stacked, they can't fix the bad habit of being impulsive. I wish I had known this earlier, I could have avoided losing several zeros. Lazy trading methods are real, I've tried them too, but execution is just too difficult. The moment I deleted all indicators, I really felt relieved; the bad news wasn't as overwhelming anymore. Taking profit and withdrawing principal is a brilliant move; my mindset changed instantly. Wait, are you saying that this method really allows some people to earn a million per month? I'm still running various strategies; it seems I need to cut my losses. Doing only a few trades a year? I probably don't have that much patience. Moving averages plus patterns, this is so simple, it actually makes me a bit nervous. Mechanized execution sounds simple, but it's really a test of mental toughness, right?

Stacking indicators actually leads to losses, this is indeed true. Being harsh about it, laziness is the way to go; the difficulty lies in sticking to simplicity. People tend to complicate simple things, probably to make themselves feel better. Less frequent signals are actually more accurate, I agree with this, but execution is too difficult. After deleting indicators, it really feels comfortable, just worried that I won't be able to resist putting them back later.

You are so right. I used to have indicators piled up on my computer, and as a result, I lost everything. Now I just stick to a single moving average line, and I feel much more comfortable.
