The method I use in the crypto world isn't anything fancy. I don't study complex indicators, don't pile on high leverage, and I don't chase hot trends. Yet, this seemingly simple approach has grown my account from $3,000 to $24,000.
The "experts" around me often fail the fastest. Frequently switching coins, chasing rallies and selling dips, maxing out leverage—these are common routines. The reason I can survive and grow steadily is quite straightforward: because I am "stupid" enough to be thorough and disciplined enough to stick to rules.
My method can be broken down into three steps.
**Step 1: Only enter during the early stages of a trend**
No bottom-fishing or chasing highs, just focus on assets that have just finished consolidating, are starting to gently increase volume, and have stabilized above key moving averages. Once this signal is confirmed, try a very small position—say 3% of total funds. If you get it wrong, the loss is minimal; if right, it becomes a key target for my attention.
**Step 2: Add positions only when the trend is clear**
After the initial position, don’t rush to add more. Wait for two conditions to be met simultaneously: the first buy has started to profit, and the price has volume-breakout above a key resistance level. Only then do I use another portion of funds (20%-30% of total) to add to the position, aiming to capture the most certain and lucrative part of the trend.
**Step 3: Take profits decisively when the trend peaks**
No illusions of catching the entire move. When profits reach the target or signs of trend exhaustion appear, sell in parts and move some gains to a cold wallet. Treat the market as a cash machine, not a casino.
It may sound like there's no technical skill involved. The power of this approach comes entirely from restraint and repetition. I've seen too many "creative" ideas fail due to overtrading, while those willing to "stupidly" follow the rules gradually grow their accounts.
The market has never rewarded intelligence alone, but discipline. If you’re constantly losing in the maze of complex strategies, maybe it’s time to reflect: should you give your trading a thorough "slimming"? Sometimes, the slowest route is actually the fastest.

Basically, if you don't tempt fate, you won't get wrecked. My so-called "smart" friends have already been liquidated.

To be honest, I've heard this logic many times, but there are very few who can truly stick with it. The worst thing is to get a little money and start to get cocky, then go all in and lose everything.

It sounds convincing, but the question is—can this strategy withstand extreme volatility spikes? When borrowing rates soar, a chain reaction of liquidations can trigger instantly. Can your risk control threshold really hold the 3% test position?

This logic indeed hits the pain point of the older brothers' fancy ways of courting death. I've seen too many who think they're clever but end up outsmarting themselves.

That's quite reasonable, but I think the hardest part is still executing that "foolishness"... Most people die because they can't hold back their hands.

That's right, it's the power of discipline. I've seen too many smart people outsmart themselves, only to die from overtrading. It's actually those "foolish persistence" individuals who live the longest.

Wow, is this the legendary "Great Wisdom Disguised as Foolishness" strategy? I feel like this is what it truly means to be alive.

It's really just discipline in action. It’s clear that this approach relies on rigid rules to win, with no fancy tricks involved.
