Every crypto enthusiast has taken a wrong turn. I have too—once obsessed with K-line patterns, Chan theory analysis, indicator optimization, and even staying up all night watching the charts. It was only after three major losses that I realized: the more complex the technique, the more complicated the mindset, and the more thorough the losses.

Instead of continuing to delve into those mystical trading methods, why not try the most "dumb" approach widely recognized in the crypto community? Ironically, the real account-changing strategies are exactly three simple and straightforward principles. Here are the ones I summarized during my journey from 1700U to 13WU.

**First: Only chase breakouts, avoid getting trapped in consolidation**

Shakeouts, trap setups, sideways trading—these are all information traps. My approach is very direct: enter the market when the price strongly breaks new highs to ride the trend; cut losses immediately on false breakouts. Relying on execution rather than prediction helps avoid most pitfalls. While many get stuck waiting at the "end of consolidation" for the bottom, I was already in the game.

**Second: Avoid heavy positions, only use 20% of your capital**

Trade lightly, take profits quickly. When hit, stop trading; no adding to losing positions, no holding through drawdowns, no reversing. While others make ten trades a day, I make one or two a week—slower pace, but more stable profits. The essence of a light position isn’t cowardice, but minimizing the cost of failure so the account can survive to see the next opportunity.

**Third: Only follow trends you understand**

Forget bottom-fishing, guessing tops, or predicting the market’s next move. Just follow the trend: chase the rise, short the decline, and earn money with certainty. Some laugh that I can’t draw lines or analyze well, but they’re still tangled up in "predicting the future." I’ve already made money with this simple, dumb approach.

**Where’s the turning point?**

Finally, I stopped messing around blindly. Trading crypto doesn’t require obsessing over complex strategies; doing the simplest things to the extreme is enough. The threshold for your account to take off isn’t finding some perfect technique, but consistent execution.

Many will forget this after reading. If you truly want to test this logic, give yourself 30 days to follow it, and the results will exceed your expectations. I only trade with real funds, and the results are right there in my account.
