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.

90% win rate? Man, that sounds like you're telling a story.

Uh... I've heard about 90% win rates too many times. If it were really that reliable, would I still be posting here?

Sounds pretty reliable, but I have to say... I've seen data like a 90% win rate too many times, and in the end, it all turns into a textbook case of "survivor bias." That said, simplifying strategies can indeed reduce a lot of mental burden.

90% win rate? What kind of perfect backtest data is that? Try encountering a black swan in reality.

Sounds good, but I'm a bit skeptical about the 90% win rate claim; the market isn't that gentle.

That's so true. I used to be the kind of person who would lose even after studying ten indicators every day. Now switching to EMA21 and 55 has made things much clearer, and executing stop-losses properly has also stabilized my mindset.

Another 90% win rate strategy, I say this every time, how many can actually stick with it? --- EMA double lines sound simple, but when it comes to volatile markets, it gets complicated. I tried this method for half a month and started questioning life. --- I'm just afraid that after reading articles like this, you'll feel pumped up, only to find that executing stop-losses is extremely difficult in practice. --- Not brain-burning, not labor-intensive. Well, does that mean my three years were wasted? --- The 10-minute trading approach really hit home for me, but why does the lazy strategy feel so untrustworthy? --- As long as you don't hold onto losing positions, it seems like any strategy can work. The problem is, who can truly let go when holding onto a position? --- Simplifying the market into two lines sounds more like giving up than simplifying. --- 5% stop-loss, 5% add position, the numbers look nice, but is risk control really that smooth in actual trading?

Sounds good, but is the 90% win rate real? Is there any historical backtesting data?
