Have you noticed that traders obsessed with complex technical indicators and frequent operations tend to lose the most in the end? In contrast, those seemingly "dumb" traders can achieve stable profits. This is no coincidence.
I have seen too many people overwhelmed by indicator bombardment, ending up blowing up their accounts in emotional trading. Meanwhile, our group of "dumb" people use extremely simple methods, yet maintain a win rate of over 70%. It all boils down to three simple rules: don't be greedy, don't guess the bottom or top, and don't hold onto losing positions.
**First Trick: Only Trust Two Major Coins When Choosing Assets**
Focus on BTC and ETH, avoid the traps of altcoins. Why? They have deep liquidity, stable trends, and are less susceptible to short-term manipulation by funds. This is the first line of defense against being cut down by the scythe. Coins with highly volatile prices are often carefully designed tools for harvesting.
**Second Trick: When Opening a Position, Check the 4-Hour Chart and MA60**
Don’t guess whether the market is "top" or "bottom." The market doesn’t owe you precise turning points. Just observe the relationship between price and MA60: if the price is above the moving average and the MA is trending upward, consider going long; if the opposite, consider shorting. It’s that simple.
Remember the 2024 rally where BTC went from $40,000 to $70,000? Those who traded along the MA60, even during mid-course pullbacks, weren’t shaken out. Because they didn’t care about every oscillation, only the overall trend direction.
**Third Trick: Strict Stop-Loss and Take-Profit, Exit When Reached**
This tests your discipline the most. If your position drops 5%, close it immediately—never deceive yourself into holding a losing position. Similarly, take profits at 10%. For example, with a $10,000 capital, cut losses at $9,500 and take profits at $11,000. It may not sound glamorous, but this is the secret to longevity.
**Why is this "dumb" method most effective?**
It all comes down to three words.
**Simple** means decision-making is easy. No need to watch dozens of indicators, no need to listen to market noise—just check the charts a few times a day. This naturally stabilizes your mindset and greatly reduces emotional trading.
**Precise** comes from only following the trend. Most losers tend to trade against the trend or rush to catch rebounds. True profits are in the big trend—you never need to catch every wave, just follow the main direction.
**Stable** stems from unwavering execution. Fixed percentage stop-loss and take-profit, no pursuit of huge single trades, only caring about overall win rate and capital safety. Stick to the rules, and time and compound interest will naturally help you accumulate wealth.
In the end, what you lack is not more opportunities, but a truly executable method and enough patience. The market is moving, the window won’t wait forever—now is the time to act.
