#数字资产市场动态 I have taken many detours. When I first started trading contracts, my screen was filled with all kinds of indicators—MACD, KDJ, Bollinger Bands—I wanted to open all of them. But what happened? The more indicators there were, the harder it was to see the direction clearly, and my account also shrank accordingly.

It was only later that I realized a principle—simplifying complex things to the extreme is actually the most stable approach.

My current trading method might sound a bit "dumb," but the results are surprisingly good. First, I only keep two moving averages on the chart: EMA21 and EMA55, hiding all others. When these two lines have a golden cross, I consider opening a long position; when they have a death cross, I consider opening a short. That’s it. Second, I focus on the 4-hour candlestick chart. Small cycle fluctuations are like noise, causing frequent stop-losses. Only when the moving averages cross clearly on the 4-hour chart and the candlestick closes confirming the direction do I truly consider entering the trade.

Stop-loss placement is the lifeline of trading. Before opening any position, I set the stop-loss firmly, usually near the high or low of the previous 4-hour candlestick. My rule for myself is: never lose more than 5% of the principal on a single trade. In the past, I would lose 20% easily; now, I exit decisively at 5%, which actually makes my mindset more stable.

In terms of capital management, I only use a small portion for the initial position (for example, 5% of the account). When the trend is confirmed and continues, I use floating profits to add small positions, letting profits run naturally. Additionally, I only make one or two trades per day. The market is mostly in oscillation zones, so there’s no need to watch the screen all day. Missing ten opportunities isn’t fatal, but making one wrong move can be very damaging.

Trading isn’t about who is more diligent, but about who has more patience to follow their simple rules. Slow down, and you can go further.
