Does anyone understand? Over the past few years, I have seen friends around me who trade cryptocurrencies come and go. Some chased after so-called 'hot coins' and ended up losing so much they deleted the software overnight; others entered the market heavily after hearing a few rumors and ended up trapped, not even daring to open their accounts. Meanwhile, I took the initial 20,000 capital and relied on a 'stupid method' that no one was willing to invest effort in, and grew my account to 1,400,000. Today, I want to share openly with everyone how 'foolish people' win in this market full of smart people who often stumble.
In the cryptocurrency trading circle, there has never been a shortage of 'smart people.' I have seen someone open a dozen trading orders in one night, staring at the market fluctuations as if they were on steroids, hoping to make quick money through short-term volatility; I have also seen someone buy a certain coin immediately after hearing it was going to 'skyrocket,' without even looking at the basic logic. But I prefer to go against the trend and engrave 'stupidity' into every step of the operation. Behind this lies the trading logic I have summarized over the years.
My 'stupid method' consists of just four steps, but very few can stick to it. The first step is to lock in the core targets and stick to them. From the beginning, I have only focused on two mainstream crypto assets, regardless of how aggressively new coins are promoted in the market. Even if others say 'you'll lose big if you miss out,' I never waver. Why? Because the underlying logic of mainstream assets is clearer, and the volatility is relatively controllable. Unlike some niche coins, which can rise without limits or fall with no bottom, it is better to focus my limited energy on familiar targets rather than gamble on uncertain ones.
In the second step, write your trading plan 'in stone' in advance. Before each trade, I clearly write down the entry and exit prices in my notebook, and I won't act unless the prices match exactly. Many people think 'close enough is good enough,' and when they see the price approaching, they rush to enter the market, resulting in either buying at high prices or selling at low prices. I have seen someone originally plan to take profit when the price reached a certain level, but seeing the market still rising, they greedily waited for 'a little more,' and in the end, they not only didn't make a profit but also lost what they had gained. The biggest taboo in trading is 'changing plans at the last minute.' Writing the plan in stone is actually locking away your greed and hesitation.
The third step is to control positions without compromise. No matter how optimistic I am about a target, I always control my position between 1/5 and 1/3, firmly avoiding full positions. Some people think 'if you are optimistic, you should go all in to make big money,' but everyone knows how intense the volatility in the crypto market can be. Full-position trading is like walking a tightrope; once the market reverses, there is no chance to recover. I have seen someone enter the market with a full position, only to face a significant market correction, resulting in their account being halved, and they ultimately had to cut their losses and exit. Keeping enough position not only helps to cope with sudden risks but also ensures that there is capital available for new opportunities in the market.
The fourth step is to place orders and 'lie flat.' After setting my take-profit and stop-loss orders, I rarely watch the market again. No matter how much the market fluctuates, I never make temporary adjustments. Many people always think they can 'predict trends.' When they see the price fall, they want to average down, and when they see the price rise, they want to increase their positions, resulting in increasingly chaotic operations. The market's fiercest opponents are never the beginners but those 'smart people who can't control themselves.' They always think they are smarter than the market but ultimately fall victim to 'greed' and 'impatience.'
To be honest, when I first started using this method, I also went through difficult times. With a capital of 20,000, it was not much, and I could only make small trades. Sometimes I had to exit after making a few hundred, and if I lost a few hundred, I had to stick to my stop-loss plan. Watching others show off their double returns made it hard not to feel envious. I even encountered a significant drawdown midway, where my account dropped from over 30,000 to just over 10,000. That night I stared at the screen until midnight, and I had the thought of 'adding positions to recover,' but in the end, I gritted my teeth and followed the rules—since I made a stop-loss plan, I couldn't let my temporary emotions break the rules.
After enduring for two years without any miraculous overnight wealth or thrilling operations, I simply executed each step according to the 'stupid method.' My account grew from 20,000 to 50,000, then to 100,000, 200,000... slowly doubling and redoubling, until I unknowingly reached 1,400,000. In fact, anyone can learn this method, but the premise is that you must endure solitude: when others show off their profits, you have to resist the urge to follow the trend; when the market fluctuates violently, you must remain calm; when the planned point is reached, you must execute decisively without hesitation.
Many people ask me how to make money in the crypto market. The answer is simple: trading coins is never about who is smarter, but about who can stick to the rules. Those seemingly 'smart' operations, such as chasing highs and cutting losses, may make some quick money in the short term, but in the long run, they are likely to suffer major losses. While the 'stupid method' may be slower, it can help you navigate this uncertain market more steadily and further.
Finally, I want to tell everyone that cryptocurrency trading is like a marathon; it's not about who runs faster, but about who can run to the end. If you've been struggling in the market for a long time without making any money, you might as well try my 'stupid method,' as it may yield different results. Of course, everyone's situation is different, and my method may not be suitable for everyone. I will share more trading skills and market analysis later.
