Last week at an offline event, a fan grabbed me and asked, 'Teacher, do you have insider information? Otherwise, how can you consistently make money in this market?' I pulled out my phone to show him my trading records—no high-frequency trading, no obscure assets, and I hadn't even opened many indicators on the candlestick charts. After he saw it, he was dumbfounded: 'Is this it? Isn't this something anyone can do?'

I must say, after 7 years of crawling in the crypto world, going from losing half a year's salary to achieving an 8-fold return with this 'simple method,' the most profound lesson is: the more you think you can take shortcuts by being 'smart,' the easier it is to fall into pits; instead, those seemingly 'slow' operations are the life-saving money for ordinary people.

When I first entered the industry, I was also a 'follower' who spent every day in various communities chasing news. When others said a new asset was going to skyrocket, I immediately went all in; when I saw the candlestick suddenly surge, I jumped in without thinking. What was the result? Either I bought someone else's 'sell orders' or got scared by short-term fluctuations. In less than three months, my 5,000 capital was reduced to just over 1,000.

After reflecting on my pain, I deleted all complicated indicators and left all the chaotic groups, focusing on one core—trend. Later, I summarized three 'simple rules,' which actually made me more stable, and last year I helped a student who had lost over 300,000 break even.

First, trial and error should be 'light,' never gamble your life. I never use more than 3% of my capital to test new trends, and I only choose mainstream assets with real application scenarios and stable community activity. For example, when I see a certain sector starting to have continuous capital inflow, I invest a small portion first as a 'scout'; even if there is a subsequent pullback, it won't hurt too much. Those obscure projects that I can't even understand the white paper of, no matter how much 'insider information' I get, I won't touch them—if you don't even know how it makes money, why do you think you can make money from it?

Secondly, when adding positions, you must 'wait,' never rush in. Many people make a little money from trial and error and then get carried away, immediately going all in, only to hit a pullback. I always wait for the trend to 'stand firm' before adding positions: for example, if an asset fluctuates above a key level for two consecutive weeks and the trading volume steadily increases, then I add 20%-50% to my position. When the main forces are accumulating, I don't jump in; I wait for the trend to be confirmed before entering, even though I can't catch the 'fish head,' I can steadily eat the 'fish body,' and that's enough.

Third, profit-taking must be 'decisive,' never greedy. I set a profit-taking and stop-loss line in advance for each position; when the target is reached, I decisively exit, even if it continues to rise afterward, I don't regret it. Last year, for a certain asset, I set a 50% profit-taking line; after selling, it rose another 20%. Some people laughed at me for 'selling too soon,' but within a week it fell back to the original point, and all those who laughed at me got trapped.

Last month, a newbie in the industry told me he was watching the market for 12 hours a day, switching between dozens of assets, but the more he traded, the more he lost. I suggested he try my 'simple method' for a month, and yesterday he came back with good news: although he only made 15%, it was the first time he didn't lose money but actually made some.

In fact, there is no 'foolproof secret' in the crypto world; most people lose because they are 'too smart': they always think they can predict trends, always trying to catch the bottom and escape at the top, and they cannot stand missing any opportunity. But in reality, the ones who make the most money in this market are those 'stubborn' 'fools'—they are not greedy, not impulsive, and do not follow the crowd; they just stick to their own rules and make money slowly.

Every day I share my trading ideas and market judgments here, without any fancy jargon, all based on solid practical experience. If you also don't want to rely on 'little clever tricks' anymore and want to steadily make some money, following me is the right choice. After all, in this trap-filled market, having a reliable person to help you stick to the rules is better than anything else.
