After spending a long time in the crypto world, I’ve discovered an interesting contrast: those who understand the industry are increasingly less focused on indicators, while those who watch more tend to lose even more.
Various technical indicators, market analysis, news — these things seem important at first glance, but in reality, most are noise. When you get distracted by them, the real opportunities quietly slip away.
Later, I developed my own straightforward and brutal strategy: **Single coin, single direction, swing trading to capture the spread**.
**How to operate?**
**First thing: Focus on one coin**
Choose BTC or ETH, and stick to that one. Don’t chase the hot topic today and another concept tomorrow. Focus on one coin, and you’ll understand its temperament. Once you understand its temperament, it’s equivalent to understanding the profit.
**Second thing: Only take one direction**
When the market rises, go long; when it falls, go short. No guessing in between, and no bottom fishing. Follow the market’s direction — this is called riding the trend, and it’s also called not courting death.
**Third thing: Enter and exit in batches, with strict plans**
Test positions at low levels → add positions at key levels → take profits gradually during the trend. Set stop-losses on every trade, and let your profits run.
**Here’s an example from one of my students:**
He used a $600 capital, made only three trades in three days, strictly following swing trading + position sizing + stop-loss logic, and finally his account grew to $1,680.
Interestingly, he later cared less about how much he earned per trade and more about whether this method could be consistently replicated. That’s the right attitude.
Compared to those who frequently switch coins daily and chase signals, it looks busy but is actually low-efficiency. Truly profitable players follow the same logic: **Focus on one coin → Master the rhythm → Strict discipline**.
**Why is this method worth trying?**
Your mindset will improve significantly because you won’t have to deal with a bunch of noise.
Decision-making costs are low — entry, adding positions, and stop-losses are all planned in advance and executed during trading, without ambiguous “wait a bit” hesitation.
Even if your win rate per trade isn’t high, relying on rules and the math of risk-reward ratio, you can generate positive returns over the long term.
**But honestly, this isn’t suitable for:**
People who always want to get rich overnight, those with poor execution, those who chase every rise, or cut every fall — this method isn’t for them.
It’s only suitable for those willing to follow rules calmly and want to steadily accumulate during volatility.
Opportunities in the crypto world are never lacking; what’s most scarce are players who: **Understand strategy, follow discipline, and can focus**.
Are you going to keep messing around in the chaotic market, or switch to a simple, disciplined approach and grow your small funds step by step?

This logic sounds comfortable, but I'm worried that during execution, I'll start checking the market charts frequently again.

That's quite right, but execution is the toughest part.

That's right, I'm the kind of person who watches the indicators every day but ends up losing more haha

That's right, this is the lesson I learned from losing money... Looking at a bunch of indicators has left my mind completely muddled.

Sounds good, but tripling 600U in three days seems a bit unlikely...

Sounds good, but I still stick to my point — execution is the real killer. A bunch of people finish reading and say it's great, then turn around and chase the hot topics again.
