Many people fall into the same vicious cycle: the more indicators they learn, the less they know how to use them; the higher their trading frequency, the more they lose; staying up late watching the charts but their accounts stagnate. Actually, this path is wrong.
Let's change the perspective: those who truly make money often choose the simplest methods. A group of traders verified over three years and found that a "lazy" strategy can maintain a win rate of over 90%. The key is that it’s brainless and effortless, taking only 10 minutes of your day.
**Why does the seemingly "stupid" method turn out to be more profitable?**
Most losers fail because of one word: "greed." Always trying to catch the bottom and sell at the top, being led by market sentiment. Our core idea is exactly the opposite—don’t guess the direction, don’t chase highs and sell lows, abandon those complex indicator stacks. The trend is right in front of you; what you need is to catch it, not predict it.
**Practical step-by-step breakdown:**
First, simplify indicators. Use a dual EMA combination: EMA21 and EMA55. When they form a golden cross, go long; when they form a death cross, go short. Looks complicated? Actually, there’s only one judgment logic, which is surprisingly clear.
Second, entry points matter. Watch the 4-hour K-line trend; only act when a golden cross is accompanied by a bullish candle, and a death cross with a bearish candle. Never force trades in choppy zones, which avoids 90% of false breakouts.
Third, stop-loss is crucial. Use the high or low of the previous 4-hour candle as the stop-loss level. Never risk more than 5% of your account on a single trade. It sounds strict, but it actually protects your capital and mindset. No holding through big losses—that’s an iron rule.
Fourth, add positions rhythmically. Invest 5% of your capital initially; whenever floating profit reaches 5%, add another 5%. But once a trend reversal signal appears, stop immediately. Don’t be greedy—that’s the soul of the entire system.
**Trading mindset tips:**
When executing this method, keep one thought in mind—don’t aim to win every trade; missing opportunities is better than making mistakes. Limit yourself to 1-2 trades per day; the rest of the time, observe and wait. Trust the system, follow discipline, and leave the rest to time.
In short, the "lazy person’s strategy" isn’t about having no brains; it’s about simplifying the chaotic market with rules. If you’re tired of being tossed around by wild market swings, give this method half a month. Trading should become easier and easier—that’s common sense.
