I used to be obsessed with candlestick charts, Chan theory, and indicator crossovers, staring at the market all day long. So what happened? After three major losses, I completely gave up and stopped researching anything.



Those so-called "advanced" analysis methods only made me more confused. So I decided to try the most "dumb" method accepted in the crypto circle, since I wouldn't lose much anyway. Unexpectedly, this decision boosted my account from 2,000U to 16,000U.

In summary, there are actually only three principles.

**First: Only trade breakouts, stay away from consolidation**

I don't look at shakeouts, trap setups, or sideways movements. As long as the price strongly pushes to a new high, I enter the market directly. True breakouts capture trend profits; false breakouts mean stop-loss and exit. It sounds simple, but there's no magic prediction involved—it's all about execution. Several waves of XRP and BNB market moves were caught this way.

**Second: Always keep a small position, only use 20% of your capital**

While others might make ten trades a day, I might only do one or two a week. The benefit of small positions is that even if you're wiped out, it doesn't hurt much. The key is to take profits quickly and exit immediately—never be greedy. After a stop-loss, I put down the phone to rest, no adding to positions, no holding through losses, no reversing trades. As a result, I find it easier to generate big gains.

**Third: Only follow markets you understand**

No bottom fishing, no guessing tops, no trying to predict future movements. Just do one thing: follow the trend. Chase the rise when prices go up, short when they go down—just follow the main direction to make a living.

Many people criticize me for not drawing lines or doing technical analysis. That's true, but they are still "analyzing the future," while my account has already multiplied many times. It's not that I'm smarter; I just finally stopped overcomplicating things.

If you really want to turn things around, instead of delving into mystical trading strategies, follow a clear set of trading rules. Action is always the only answer.

Execution capability is indeed the primary factor in verifying network stability; the mystical techniques of technical analysis should have been abandoned long ago.

This is me. From studying Chan Theory every day to giving up analysis, and I ended up making a profit instead.

No way, seriously? Went from 2K to 160K. Is this guy serious?

卧槽,从2000U到16W,这倍数真的顶。我之前也是那种每天画线的傻子,现在看这个逻辑我得承认有点打脸。

To be honest, I've heard this logic many times, but indeed some people have made profits. Small positions + stop-loss + following the trend, it sounds simple but it's deadly to execute.

Honestly, I agree with this logic. Light positions + trend + execution are way better than those who draw lines every day. --- It took three huge losses to realize this, which was a bit costly. --- Just want to ask one thing, how do you judge a true breakout? Is 20% position size applied to each trade or the overall position? --- I was also fooled by technical analysis. Starting this month, I want to try your method. Give me a sample. --- Alright, I agree to stop messing with this, but stop-loss is also a hassle. --- Going from 2k to 16w sounds impressive, but I don't know if it's because of profit or just a good market. --- Haha, this is the discipline of taking profits and stopping losses. Most people can't do it.

20% position sounds comfortable, but the problem is that most people can't actually execute it. Once their mindset collapses, they go all-in.
