Many people have suffered losses in the crypto derivatives market. The screen is filled with MACD, RSI, KDJ… indicators that make your eyes blur, executing a dozen trades a day—taking profits and rushing to exit, holding on stubbornly when losing, staying up late monitoring charts and collapsing physically, with accounts shrinking. I have also gone through this cycle.
Later, I realized that the true source of losses in the crypto space is simply one thing—trying too hard to make quick profits. Bottom fishing, topping out, frequent short-term trades, being repeatedly harvested by emotions and market volatility—that's the fate of most traders.
The turning point came when I decided to simplify. After some practical exploration, I found that a minimalistic strategy could clarify everything: maintaining a win rate above 95%, and only needing 10 minutes of attention each day.
**Core Method Breakdown:**
**Point 1: Use only two EMA lines**
EMA21 indicates short-term trend direction, EMA55 confirms medium-term trend. When they form a golden cross, go long; when they form a death cross, go short. All other indicators are filtered out to avoid noise interfering with decisions.
**Point 2: Stick to key levels on the 4-hour K-line**
Only open long positions when EMA21 crosses above EMA55 and closes bullish; open short positions when it crosses below and closes bearish. Abandon oscillation ranges decisively; avoid trades with low probability.
**Point 3: Stop-loss is the foundation of trading**
Set the stop-loss at the high or low of the previous 4-hour K-line. Limit each trade’s loss to within 5% of the principal. This is the bottom line for capital preservation.
**Point 4: Add to positions in line with the trend, rather than stubbornly holding**
Use 5% of total capital for the initial position. When profits reach 5%, add another 5%, and continue until the EMA signal reverses before closing. This way, you can participate in mid-trend gains without overexposure.
**A few key insights:**
Missing an opportunity is always better than making a wrong decision. 1-2 confident signals per day are enough; there's no need to trade every day before the market opens. Trust your strategy, strictly follow discipline—this is the secret to long-term profitability. For those who stare at the charts until their eyes hurt and still end up losing, it might be time to start adjusting your mindset with this method.

Another 95% win rate, I’ve memorized this set of sayings. I’ve also tried two moving averages, and when a black swan hits, everything is gone.
But to be honest, I agree with the saying "Better to miss out than to make a mistake," though it’s very hard to do.

Really, that stop-loss was a blood and tears lesson; so many people died because they refused to cut the loss.
Is it EMA or golden cross/death cross? It still sounds pretty complicated.
A 95% win rate sounds a bit suspicious; I’d like to see some real trading screenshots.
It sounds good in theory, but execution is hell; when emotions take over, everything is forgotten.
Only watching for 10 minutes a day? I bet 5 bucks you can’t even do that; you just can’t break the bad habit of being careless.
Reducing trades is definitely the right approach, but I’m afraid it’s easier to talk about than to actually do, my friend.
Whether this method is reliable or not depends on a few months of trial and error; don’t follow blindly.
Frequent trading is really a killer; I used to make over ten trades a day, and in the end, the fees were just too much to bear.
A 5% stop-loss sounds safe, but in a bear market, it’s just not enough to stop the fall.
Only 1-2 reliable signals a day? My problem is I can’t find even one.

Another 95% win rate, acting like it's real. When will you turn the tables and boast again?

95% win rate? I feel like it's just another round of the usual hype to trap new investors.

It's another story with a 95% win rate, I've heard it many times before.
---
Can two EMA lines make you effortlessly win? I think this is actually the most dangerous beginning.
---
It sounds good, but the real challenge is executing that 5% stop loss.
---
Staying up late to monitor the market is indeed harmful, but not trading is even more torturous.
---
Finishing a day's trading in 10 minutes sounds easy to say.
---
A 5% stop loss per trade sounds professional, but can you maintain that mindset during actual trading?
---
Frequent short-term trading is indeed the standard for rookies, but is this method really a universal key?
---
I agree with the logic of adding positions, but the premise is having the first wave of profits to cushion.

People with a 95% win rate have long achieved financial freedom, no need to share secrets.
