Having traded derivatives for years, I've seen too many people fall into complex strategies. Their screens are covered with MACD, RSI, Bollinger Bands, executing ten or more trades a day—taking profits and running, holding on through losses, until their accounts bleed out. Staying up late monitoring charts, their bodies break down, and their money disappears.



The turning point came from the inspiration of a few "lazy friends." They don't believe in stacking indicators but instead have explored a minimalist approach—maintaining a win rate above 95%. It made me realize: making money in the crypto world is never about physical effort; the key is finding the right method.

A common problem for many is "being too eager to win." Bottom fishing, topping out, chasing rallies and selling dips, trading frequently—ultimately getting harvested by volatility one after another. We do the exact opposite: no guessing the direction, no fancy indicators, no chasing trends. Just 10 minutes a day is enough.

**Here's how to operate specifically:**

First, focus only on two EMA lines. EMA21 tracks short-term trends, EMA55 captures medium-term direction. A golden cross indicates a bullish mindset; a death cross indicates a bearish mindset. It's as simple as that.

The most important part is the entry timing. Only look at the 4-hour K-line—don't ask why not the 15-minute or 1-hour; small cycles are just noise. Enter long only when EMA21 crosses above EMA55 and closes with a bullish candle; enter short only when it crosses below and closes with a bearish candle. If you see consolidation, go flat—better to miss a thousand opportunities than make one wrong trade.

The final point is the most crucial: always set a stop-loss. Place it at the high or low of the previous 4-hour candle, and keep each loss within 5%. Once hit, cut your losses decisively—no hesitation, no holding on. This is the only way to survive longer.

Honestly speaking: don't expect to win every trade. Missing out is much safer than making mistakes. Opening one or two trades a day is enough; more trades mean more opportunities, but also double the risk of losses. In crypto, the game is about strategy execution and emotional management—everything else is just fluff.

Mainstream assets like BTC and ETH are most suitable for this method. They have good liquidity, clear trends, and are less prone to manipulation.

It sounds like treating trading as a job, but ending up with gambling... A 95% win rate is indeed eye-catching, but can it really be stable? Ten minutes a day? I feel like it's ten minutes of watching the market and two hours of mental breakdown... There's no argument about stop-loss, but I can't hold on. One mental breakdown and it's all over. This set of strategies is correct, but the key is execution. 99% of people can't get past that hurdle. Human nature, ah, is harder to deceive than any indicator.

Wow, a 95% win rate? That number is pretty crazy, is it real? Wait, only look at EMA on the 4-hour chart? I'll try trading without calling signals. You're right, I used to be reckless, taking over ten trades a day and losing money really fast. Stop-loss is definitely the key; I’ve been burned by not using it before. Simple strategies are indeed the best; complicated ones tend to backfire more easily. But in practice, it's still easy to fall back into old habits and get caught up in frequent trading.

Sounds very right, but I still get itchy fingers.

It sounds like less action and more observation, and I agree with that.

That's right, those people who fill the screen with indicators are just making things harder for themselves. The 4-hour chart is the real way; the 15-minute chart is really just noise. Stop-loss is the most painful part; many people die because of the hesitation to cut losses. This minimalist approach is definitely more reliable than my previous complex strategy. However, the 95% win rate... I still need to run it through myself to believe it.
