After mixing in this circle for so long, I have one deep realization— the more complicated you make your trading, the easier it is to get cut by the market.

I've seen too many friends who spend every day studying various indicators, drawing lines repeatedly, staying up late watching the market, only to find their accounts getting worse year after year. In contrast, those who keep things simple and strictly follow straightforward methods gradually grow their principal.

I've also mentored a few friends myself, from a few thousand USD to hundreds of thousands, relying not on insider information or advanced techniques. The true core is actually just one thing: delete all the unnecessary stuff, and only keep rules that can be repeatedly executed.

I never pursue high-frequency trading, nor do I bet on market rises or falls. I wait for a complete structure and genuine opportunities to appear. Enter when it's right, exit when wrong, no adding leverage, no stubborn resistance. My stop-loss and take-profit are simple—small losses when wrong, take profits when in position. Whether the win rate is high or not doesn't really matter; the key is that every trade is within the rules.

On my charts, I only keep one short-term moving average, scan the 4-hour timeframe daily, and place orders when signals appear. If no signals, I just close the software. The market won't move more just because you're watching it all the time.

Once my account reaches a certain size, my first reaction is always to withdraw. Capital safety comes first, profits come later. Only use money you can afford to lose to try, and your mindset will naturally stay stable.

Some say this approach is too "dumb," but in the crypto world, those who can make money long-term are never the smartest, but those who can stick to the rules.

You don't need to catch every market wave, only focus on the parts you truly understand. The path might be slower, but the direction won't go off course. If you've already been tortured enough by complicated indicators and emotional swings, why not try this simple method? In this market, simplicity is the strongest survival skill.
