In today's world, crypto players talk about 'moving averages entangling' and 'volume divergence', but I prefer using the most basic logic, turning 3000 U into 280,000 U.
I didn't go all in, didn't chase trends, and couldn't even be bothered to look at complex indicators. The core strategy is just 4 'simple methods', which you might find too easy — but it is this 'simplicity' that helped me avoid 90% of the pitfalls and earn money steadily.
1. Don't go all in, don't leverage: Protect your principal, and you've already beaten 80% of the people.
This principle is understood by everyone, but 90% of people fail because they can't 'resist'.
I've seen too many people get excited after a 5% market surge, going all in with 10x leverage, only to get liquidated from a 3% pullback, leaving them with no chance to recover.
My three iron rules are executed mechanically:
Never exceed 30% in a single position (when at 3000 U, the maximum I would invest is 900 U);
Only add positions to profitable trades (add after making a profit, never average down on losses to avoid getting deeper in).
No bottom fishing, no guessing tops (when the market is in panic, I watch, and when everyone shouts 'hundred times', I step back).
To put it simply, I don't gamble on the market; I only make money from 'understandable trades'. Even if I miss 10 opportunities, as long as my capital remains, there will always be a chance to catch the market that belongs to me.
2. Enter during the middle of an uptrend and exit during the early stages of a downtrend: no predictions, just follow the trend.
Many people like to 'pre-position': they shout 'the bottom has been reached' when it drops, and 'a pullback is coming' when it rises. But I never predict, I just wait for the trend to show clearly.
My trading logic is simple to the point of being laughable:
Stay inactive during consolidation (for example, if BTC is fluctuating between 40,000 and 50,000, I watch with no position);
Enter after breaking key levels (for example, if BTC stabilizes at 60,000 with volume, eating the 'middle of the uptrend' for the most stable profit);
Withdraw as soon as a pullback signal appears (drop below the 5-day line, two consecutive days of negative closing, even if it means earning less, I will never hold the position).
Others always say, 'You entered too late, losing half the profit', but I know well: Crypto is not lacking in opportunities; what's lacking is the 'patience to stay alive and wait for opportunities'. I may not have caught the fish head or tail, but I've steadily enjoyed the meat in between, accumulating over the year, ultimately earning more than those who 'chase highs and cut lows'.
3. Only earn 5%-15% each time: Those who are not greedy can survive the longest in crypto.
Too many people get excited after making 10%, fixating on 100%, or think that a 50% gain is only worth it if it doubles their investment. But I've seen too many such people end up losing their principal.
My profit-taking rule is just one:
No matter how good the market is, I only take 5%-15% profit each time (for example, if I invest 10,000 U, earning 500-1500 U, I sell half);
Leave once the target is reached, even if it goes up after that, don't look back (missing out is better than being trapped);
Even if I only earn 2% during consolidation, I am content (small wins accumulate, proving to be 10 times more reliable than one-time windfalls).
Some say, 'You're just content with small gains', but the reality in crypto is: 10 small profits, even if you’re wrong 3 times, can still lead to steady growth; while one act of greed can wipe out all previous efforts.
4. Divide the principal into three parts: Always keep 'the opportunity to start over'.
I never go all in on a single trade; the money in my account is always divided into three layers:
First Layer (30%): Small positions for trial and error, judging the market (earn some if right, loss is manageable if wrong);
Second Layer (40%): Add positions after the trend is clear, amplifying profits (if the first trade is profitable, then use this portion to add positions);
Third Layer (30%): Never move, keep as 'backhand' (even if the first two layers lose, this part can allow me to start over).
The benefit of doing this is: if you're wrong in your judgment, you only lose a maximum of 30%, and you still have 70% of your principal to recover; if you're right, both layers of funds roll together, and profits gradually increase.
Conclusion: The true masters of the crypto world are all about 'anti-smartness'.
You might think I'm 'conservative' or 'too slow', but this year, I've watched too many 'smart people' get wiped out by leverage and heavy positions, while I, like a 'fool', review, control positions, and roll over daily, steadily increasing my account.
It's not that I'm smarter than others; it's that after making all the mistakes, I finally learned to 'slow down'.
The truth about making money in the crypto world: the best methods are often the simplest and hardest to stick to. Those who can persist ultimately outperform most people.
