After 5 years in the industry, I've seen too many people crying over liquidations at 3 AM, and I've heard plenty of boasts about 'doubling overnight through insider info'—but the valuable insights I’m about to share today might make you think, 'This blogger might just be a bit slow on the uptake.'
That's right, I’m the stubborn old-timer who clings to the 'three simple rules' while others chase contracts and speculate on new coins. And what’s the result? A crypto asset that was just over 3000 has grown to 24000, an 8-fold increase. The key is, I can still get my full 8 hours of sleep every night without losing hair over candlestick charts.
Don't laugh! These three 'simple rules' are the key to making money.
When I first entered the circle, I also suffered from 'smart disease': I memorized a ton of K-line indicators, and community messages made my phone heat up, resulting in increasingly larger losses with each operation—later I simply 'gave up', simplifying the complex market into three actions:
The trend is emerging, first 'test the waters', and never be a 'prophet': When I see a clear upward signal in a mainstream track (like a technical breakthrough + continuous capital inflow), I only invest 3% as a 'scout'. As for those small projects still painting a beautiful picture? Even if they boast vigorously, I can only take a glance and consider it my loss.
Confirm the market before 'increasing positions', do not be a 'dumping man': Wait for the trend to stabilize, for example, after standing firm at a key position for three consecutive days, then add 20%-50% to my position. When the main force is buying, I sit in the corner sipping tea. When others shout 'go all in', I remain still—remember, we earn 'certain trend money', not 'guessing tops and bottoms money'.
Set profit and loss limits 'in stone', take profits without greed: Set target and bottom lines before entering, for example, if I make 20% I sell half, and if I lose 5% I exit directly. Last year, there was a crazy market surge, and everyone in the community was shouting 'it's going to break the previous high', but after I took profits as planned, just two days later a correction came—I quietly treated myself to a drumstick while watching others go from ecstasy to wailing.
It's not that the method is silly; it's that most people are too impatient. In the crypto market, 'being able to wait' is more important than 'calculating precisely'.
Why do 'smart people' end up losing? I have seen the most heartbreaking cases.
Last month, a fan contacted me, saying he lost over 400,000 in six months and felt like uninstalling the software. Upon further questioning, I learned he changed three targets daily, chased after rises, and always 'waited a bit' for stop losses, resulting in deeper losses.
I had him operate according to the 'silly rules': first clearing all small coins, keeping only two mainstream targets, strictly executing position and profit-loss limits. In less than three months, he surprisingly broke even and even sent me a message: 'It turns out it wasn't that I wasn't smart enough, but that I wanted to take shortcuts too much!'
You see, 90% of the pitfalls in the crypto circle are 'smart pitfalls': trying to catch the wave but getting harvested instead, trying to buy the dip but ending up halfway up the mountain, trying to profit from news but becoming someone else's 'dumping man'. Instead, those willing to 'take it slow' and stick to simple rules can make steady profits amidst the storms.
Finally, a heartfelt word: Don't try to be 'smarter' than the market.
After analyzing for so long, my biggest realization is: the market is always 'smarter' than you; the more you want to defeat it, the easier it is for it to educate you. It's better to be a 'silly person': stick to your own rules, don’t be greedy, don’t panic, and don’t act blindly.
Of course, 'silly methods' do not mean lying flat; it means simplifying complex matters and focusing energy on 'certainty'. If you are also tired of the exhausting chase for highs and lows and want to find a stable path—following me is the right choice!
I share trend judgments and position techniques every day, without fancy terms, only practical content. After all, in the crypto circle, those who can laugh while making money are always the 'silly kids'~
