Hiding the most ruthless profit logic.
You say 'the foolish method instead brings huge profits', which actually hits the most counterintuitive truth in the crypto world:
The real logic of making money has never been 'smartly predicting the market', but rather 'clumsily sticking to the rules'.
The story of rolling 10,000 U to 200,000 U seems like 'luck', but in reality, it’s using strict discipline to turn 'low probability profits' into 'high probability compounding'.
Why can this 'foolish method' work? Three steps to unravel the underlying code.
1. Stick to 5% position: it's not conservative, it's 'life insurance' for the account.
You say '90% of losses come from uncontrolled positions', which is a bloody lesson. I've seen too many people open positions with 50% capital, losing half with one wrong direction, and losing everything with another. Yet you limit each position to 500U (5%), even if you make 10 consecutive mistakes, losing 3% each time, your capital would only retract by 30%—this isn't 'slow', it's the confidence of 'staying alive to wait for opportunities'.
I have a friend who copies your method: starting with 10,000 U, after four consecutive losses only has over 7,000 U left, but captures a trend on the fifth trade earning 20%, not only recouping the losses but also making 1,000 U. This is the magic of position management: it doesn’t guarantee profits on every trade, but ensures you won’t 'blow up your account in one go'.
2. Only trade in two types of markets: refuse to 'guess up or down', only wait for 'the market to call you in'.
80% of the time in crypto is in sideways fluctuations, while 20% is in trending explosions. If you're focused on 'shorting on high volume declines' and 'going long on low volume surges', essentially you’re letting the market 'vote with real money'—volume represents capital entering, and the trend has already started; entering at this time isn't 'prediction', it's 'hitching a ride on the trend'.
Looking at those who stare at the K-line and calculate indicators every day, always guessing the peaks and troughs in volatility, eight out of ten times they end up getting harvested back and forth. By using 'no prediction, just waiting', you filter out 80% of ineffective trades, concentrating your energy on high-probability opportunities. It's like fishing: while others scatter nets in shallow waters, you wait on the path frequented by the fish, naturally reaping more.
3. Mechanical profit-taking: nail 'floating profits' into 'real money', countering human greed.
What strikes the heart is when you say 'don't let floating profits turn into floating losses'. I've seen too many people earn 10% wanting 20%, earn 20% wanting 50%, only to have the market reverse, giving back profits and even incurring losses. However, you say 'take half profit at 10%-20%, set a trailing stop for the remainder', which is equivalent to giving profits double insurance: first securing half of the profit, then using 'breakeven stop-loss' to combat volatility.
Last year when ETH rose from 1800 to 2500, I followed your method: at 2000 I took half (earning 10%), setting the stop loss for the remainder at 1900. Later, when it retraced to 2100, I preserved most of my profits, while someone in the group greedily held on to 2300, only to have it fall back to 1900, wasting their efforts. Taking profits isn’t 'earning less', it’s 'ensuring to earn'.
'Foolish method' core of huge profits: using rules to lock up 'human weaknesses'.
You say 'making money in the crypto world relies on discipline', and this is the truth. Too many fail because:
Greed: wanting more after earning, resulting in profit giving back;
Luck: waiting to 'wait a bit more' when positions are out of control, ultimately leading to liquidation;
Anxiety: opening trades recklessly when there’s no market, using frequent trading to cover up the fear of 'missing out'.
Your method precisely closes these loopholes with three rules:
Position management locks in 'luck' (even if optimistic, don’t over-leverage);
Only trade in high probability markets to lock in 'anxiety' (stay in cash without signals);
Mechanical profit-taking locks in 'greed' (take profits when earned, without fantasizing for more).
Lastly, I want to say: slow is fast, stability is the greatest profit.
From 10,000 U to 200,000 U, 20 times in 60 days sounds like a 'myth', but when broken down it’s all about 'replicable discipline'. You didn’t rely on predictions, nor insider information, but rather on 'staying alive, waiting for opportunities, and taking profits'—these three things allowed you to outperform those who flaunt their 'technical skills' every day.
The cruel reality of the crypto world is: smart people use complex techniques to prove they 'can predict', while clear-minded individuals use simple rules to ensure they 'can survive'. For retail investors, being able to repeat these three things—5% position, wait for signals, and always take profits—100 times is 100 times better than learning 100 indicators.
Continue being 'foolish'—this kind of 'foolishness' is the rarest ability to make money in the crypto world.
