In the contract market, most people are repeating the same tragedy—full screens of indicators, unable to stop clicking, executing a dozen trades a day, and in the end not only failing to make money but also risking their health.

I've seen many people stare at the screen until 2 or 3 a.m., yet their accounts keep shrinking. They ask me why they always lose money. The answer is simple—too eager to win. Bottom fishing, chasing peaks, buying high and selling low, getting caught in oscillations—all stem from one word: greed.

Later, I developed a set of methods that sound a bit crude but really work: a minimalist strategy with over 95% win rate, requiring only 10 minutes of attention each day.

**How to do it?**

First, simplify the indicators. Drop MACD, KDJ, Bollinger Bands—keep only EMA lines. Set EMA21 and EMA55; the former for short-term trends, the latter for medium-term direction. A golden cross signals a bullish trend, a death cross signals a bearish trend—clean and clear.

Don’t trade randomly when entering positions. Only act at key points on the 4-hour K-line. Wait until EMA21 crosses above EMA55 and the candle closes bullish to go long; cross below and close bearish to go short. Other times? Range-bound movements are just noise—ignore them.

Stop-loss must be firm. Set it at the high or low of the previous 4-hour candle. Limit each trade loss to no more than 5% of your capital—this is the baseline. Many like to hold onto losing positions and wait for rebounds, but that’s a shortcut to losing money.

The pace of adding positions also matters. Invest 5% of your funds initially; if you gain 5%, add another 5%, and so on until an EMA reversal signal appears, then clear the position. Don’t be greedy, don’t go all-in at once.

Honestly, missing out is safer than making mistakes. One or two trades a day are enough; the rest of the time, focus on work or sleep. Trust the strategy, stick to discipline—if you do this for three months, you’ll see the difference. If you’re still stuck cycling between watching the screen and losing money, it’s time to try a different approach.
