#数字货币市场洞察 Recently, a friend DM'd me asking if I've actually made money in the crypto market.

To be honest, I have made some profits, but the method I use might disappoint you—it’s nothing advanced, just a seemingly “dumb” approach.

I started with 100,000 USDT to test the waters, and using this logic, I've already surpassed 1,000,000 USDT. Looking back, trading isn’t as mind-boggling as we imagine.

The whole framework boils down to three actions: determine the trend, identify the key level, and wait for entry.

I only focus on the larger timeframes, usually starting with the 4-hour chart. There are only three market states—uptrend, sideways, and downtrend. I look for long opportunities in an uptrend, shorts in a downtrend, and I avoid trading during consolidation. If you get the trend wrong, no amount of precision after that matters.

Once the trend is set, the next step is to wait for the right level. Price never moves in a straight line; it keeps testing key points. What I do is get in at its “takeoff” point and exit at the next resistance. These levels are what we commonly call support and resistance zones.

Even when the price reaches the level, you can’t just act randomly—you need to look for a specific entry signal on a smaller timeframe. Everyone uses different tools, but the core principle is the same—master one or two patterns to the extreme. The real money isn’t made with fancy techniques, but by quickly making a plan and executing it flawlessly.

Before every trade, I only confirm a few things: which asset to trade, the position size, long or short, where to enter, the stop-loss, and the take-profit target. I ignore all other distractions.

Trading isn’t as mysterious as people make it sound. The hard part isn’t finding a method—it’s controlling your impulses, keeping your mindset steady, and repeating simple things over and over.
