Have you ever fallen into such a dilemma of contract trading?
Staring at various complex indicators like MACD and RSI every day, the more I look, the more confused I become, and in the end, I can only trade based on feeling;
Trading more than ten times a day, feeling proud when I make a little profit, but panicking when I lose, and stubbornly holding on when my mindset collapses;
Staying up late to watch the market until dawn, with bloodshot eyes and a drained body, yet my account decreases instead of increases, losing more the more I trade.
In fact, making profits in the cryptocurrency contract market doesn't have to be so hard! We a group of "minimalist lazy people" rely on a simple and efficient strategy to stabilize the win rate above 95%, spending only 10 minutes a day on operations, without taxing our brains or spirits.
Why does a seemingly "stupid" method turn out to be more reliable than various "smart tactics"?
In the cryptocurrency contract market, 90% of people lose money, and the reason is precisely because they are "too clever":
Always trying to precisely catch the bottom and escape the top, only to end up buying halfway up the mountain and getting stuck at the peak.
Obsessed with high-frequency trading, thinking that "the more you trade, the more you earn", but instead being repeatedly harvested by fees and random fluctuations;
Analyzing a bunch of indicators, ultimately swayed by emotions, hesitating when they should cut losses and being greedy when they should take profits.
The "stupid method" we use just avoids these traps:
Do not speculate on market direction, only follow the trend;
Do not chase rising prices or sell falling prices, only enter when clear signals appear;
Do not look at complex indicators, rely only on one moving average;
Spend only 10 minutes a day, no need to stay up late and harm your health.
📌 Caregiver-level operational guide (recommended to bookmark, just follow along to get started!)
The core of this strategy is "extremely simple rules and strict execution", which even contract newcomers can quickly master.
Only look at one indicator: EMA moving average (say goodbye to information overload)
Only set two lines: EMA21 (short-term trend) and EMA55 (medium to long-term trend), turn off all other indicators!
Core logic: The "golden cross" (upward crossing) and "death cross" (downward crossing) of EMA21 and EMA55 are signals of trend direction—golden cross indicates strength, suitable for going long; death cross indicates weakness, suitable for going short.
Key reminder: Do not add extra indicators! The more there are, the more chaotic it becomes, and the easier it is to interfere with judgment.
Only enter at two key moments (avoid chaotic fluctuations)
Look at the larger cycle: only focus on 4-hour candlestick charts (smaller cycles have more noise and are easy to mislead);
Long position conditions: EMA21 crosses above EMA55 to form a golden cross, and the daily 4-hour candlestick closes with a bullish line (confirming the trend is established);
Short position conditions: EMA21 crosses below EMA55 to form a death cross, and the daily 4-hour candlestick closes with a bearish line (confirming weakness);
Absolutely do not do: when moving averages frequently entangle and cross repeatedly, remain on the sidelines and do not participate in choppy markets.
Strictly set stop losses: protecting the principal to have capital to recover losses
Stop loss position: Long position stop loss placed at the lowest point of the previous 4-hour candlestick, while short position stop loss is placed at its highest point;
Risk control principle: The maximum loss for each trade should not exceed 5% of total capital (for example, with 1000U capital, single trade loss ≤ 50U);
Execute discipline: Leave the market resolutely when reaching a stop loss, do not hold positions, do not gamble. Stop loss is not a failure, but a way to preserve strength for the next opportunity.
"Rolling position increase" strategy: Let profits run with the trend
This step is the key to turning small profits into big profits, but it must be strictly followed:
Initial position trial: Use only 5% of funds for the first trade (e.g., 1000U capital, first position 50U);
Profit increase: After the first position profits reach 5% (e.g., profit 2.5U), add 5% funds; continue to profit 5%, add another 5%, and so on;
Exit signal: When EMA crosses again (trend reversal signal), close all positions for profit;
Strategy advantages: It can control risk through light positions while expanding profits when the trend continues, making sure not to miss any trading opportunities.
💡 3 mindset suggestions: Discipline is more important than technique
The effectiveness of this strategy does not depend on how magical the indicators are, but on whether you persist in executing it:
Better to miss than to make a mistake: do not enter the market without clear signals, missing out is always better than losing money;
At most, operate 1-2 times a day: refuse frequent trading, profits in contracts come from trend profits, not from transaction fees;
Trust the system, get rid of intuition: even if a signal fails this time, do not change the rules arbitrarily—there may be fluctuations in the short term, but persistence in the long term will eventually favor you.
🎯 To summarize:
The so-called "stupid method" is not without reason, but rather transforms complex contract trading into "simple, repeatable, and disciplined" operations. It is not suitable for gamblers who crave "getting rich overnight", but is very suitable for ordinary people who do not want to stay up late, do not want to be influenced by emotions, and pursue sustained and stable profits.
If you also feel that watching the market all day is too tiring, and learning indicators is too annoying, yet you are still continuously losing money, you might as well try this "lazy strategy"—less "self-smart" greed, more "rule-following" persistence, perhaps it can lead to a more stable and long-term profit in the contract market.
