The first two years I entered the crypto world, to be honest, I was possessed.

$BTC K-line Chanlun, golden cross and death cross, Gann boxes, Fibonacci sequences... I drew more lines than I did on my high school exam drafts. Back then, everything seemed profound; my indicators filled the dense charts of $ETH.

And then? Three margin calls.

After losing so much that I became numb, I made a decision — to completely abandon those seemingly sophisticated strategies and switch to the simplest yet hardest-to-stick-to "dumb method" in crypto. Unexpectedly, this shift gradually grew my account from 1,700 USD to 130,000 USD.

My core approach boils down to three principles, with the key being execution:

**Don't guess the oscillation, only chase true breakouts**

The market entices both longs and shorts every day, but I choose to wait. Wait until the price genuinely breaks through previous highs before acting. As long as it’s a real breakout, I ride the trend; if it’s a false breakout, I cut losses immediately. No hesitation, no luck-based thinking.

**Small positions for steady gains, never go all-in**

I used to want to turn things around with one big move, but that often ended in failure. Now I do it differently — only use 20% of my capital each time, take profits at the target, and then exit. No greed. If I get wiped out by the market, I stop and rest, no adding positions or holding through losses. Others might make ten trades a day, but I might only make one or two a week. Moving slowly actually helps me last longer.

**Follow the big trend, don’t predict the future**

Bottom fishing and top selling are for gods. I focus on trend continuation — buy on uptrends, short on downtrends, and act according to the current situation without wild predictions.

Some friends laugh at me: "You don’t even draw a trendline, and you call yourself a technical trader?"

I just reply: "The account’s curve will tell the story."

Looking back at the hundreds of thousands lost, it all boils down to one lesson — the market isn’t afraid of your intelligence; it fears your lack of execution. Repeating the simplest tasks until you’re tired of them already separates you from 90% of people.

Trading crypto, honestly, doesn’t require any magical strategy. It’s about applying the most basic actions to the extreme and mastering the dumbest methods thoroughly. That itself is the smartest choice. Many people lack not technical skills but the execution power to steadily grow their accounts. Don’t just watch without practicing; follow through for a month, and the changes in your account might surprise you.
