My Simplest Trading Strategy: Nearly 100% Win Rate (Plus Survival Tips for Beginners)

When I first started trading crypto, I was constantly glued to the screen — chasing highs, cutting losses, and losing sleep night after night. Eventually, I found a method that brought both peace of mind and consistent returns. It's incredibly simple:

“If the signal I know and trust doesn’t show up, I don’t trade.”

No exceptions. I’d rather miss out than make impulsive trades.

Thanks to this iron rule, I’ve maintained an annual return of over 75%, without relying on luck or emotional swings. Based on real lessons from real losses, here are a few beginner survival tips that have helped me stay in the game:

1. Trade After 9:00 PM

Daytime markets are chaotic — rumors, fake news, and sudden spikes can throw you off. After 9:00 PM, the news flow slows down, charts are clearer, and price movements become more rational. That's when I make my moves.

2. Use Technical Indicators Wisely

Before placing a trade, always check:

MACD: Look for golden/death crosses.

RSI: Check for overbought or oversold zones.

Bollinger Bands: Identify contractions or breakouts.

Only consider entering a position if at least two of the three indicators agree.

3. Stop-Loss: Protect Your Dignity, Not Just Your Capital

If the trade goes against you — get out immediately. A few seconds of hesitation can mean a 10% loss.

Fixed stop-loss: Cap your loss at 3% of your total capital.

Trailing stop-loss: If you're up 50%, exit the trade if it drops by 20% from the peak.

4. Withdraw Profits Regularly

Say you earn 5,000 USDT in a week — don’t try to double it right away. Withdraw 2,000 to your bank account and continue trading with the rest.

I’ve seen too many traders turn 3x or 5x profits into nothing due to one bad trade. Lock in your gains. Let your account grow slowly and steadily.

5. Learn to Read K-lines (Candlesticks)
