Many people entering the crypto space their first reaction is to make things complicated—stacking various technical indicators, combining multiple trading strategies, for fear of missing any opportunity. But the result is often that when the market moves, the entire system collapses.



I've taken many detours, and eventually I realized a principle: the biggest danger in trading is overthinking.

Now I stick to three principles: follow the trend, wait at key levels, and strictly control each position. If I don't understand, I give up; if I'm not at the right level, I keep waiting; if I make a wrong judgment, I exit immediately. It sounds like there's no technical skill involved, right?

But this "simple method" has helped me avoid countless deep drawdowns and ultimately earn six-figure profits.

The real problem for those losing money isn't their analysis ability, but their desire to turn things around quickly, their overconfidence in their judgment, and their excessive trading frequency. Complex systems often give us more opportunities to make mistakes. Conversely, stable profitable traders tend to keep their operations simple, but they are extremely disciplined about their psychology and risk management.

The crypto market never rewards those who are diligent but reckless; it only favors those who make fewer mistakes and can wait patiently. Instead of meticulously designing a perfect trading system, making trading simpler can actually help you stay steady and go further.

It sounds very right; I've suffered too many complicated losses before. The more indicators there are, the more chaotic it becomes, and you end up not knowing whose advice to follow. --- Talking about million-level profits lightly, but the logic is indeed smooth... The key is that most people simply can't stick to the "give up if you don't understand." --- It sounds good, but when it comes to actual execution? When the market rises again, everyone starts FOMOing, right? --- I've heard this set of theories so many times, but the problem is that knowing and doing are two different things, right? --- Does simplicity = making money? If it were that easy, everyone would be a millionaire by now... But frequent trading is indeed a major reason for losing money. --- It seems to be talking about "waiting," but can your mindset stay stable while waiting? That's the hardest part. --- Talking about million-level profits again... But controlling position size is indeed something I overlooked, I need to reflect on that.

Really, after looking at so many smart strategies and a bunch of indicators, I still end up losing badly. This "simple method" is actually more effective.

You're right, I really got caught up in having too many indicators. Having a bunch of lines tangled together makes it harder to see clearly.

Really, the simpler it is, the more money you make. This statement hits close to home.

Really, I’ve been saved multiple times by this "clumsy method." Honestly, it’s just about waiting and enduring. --- It sounds easy but is hard to do—losing control and frequently making impulsive moves. --- Million-dollar gains are indeed attractive, but that requires enough capital and luck, right? --- Wow, isn’t this just the logic of doing less and earning more? Why can’t I figure it out? --- So the key is psychological resilience, not those flashy indicator combinations. --- That phrase "give up if you don’t understand" hit me hard. I used to be the kind of person who insisted on getting involved. --- Wait, among those three principles, which one is the hardest? I feel that strict position control is the easiest to go wrong. --- Exactly, I’ve seen too many confident people lose everything with a single all-in. Simple and straightforward often lasts longer. --- Now I understand—higher complexity increases the chance of mistakes. That logic makes sense. --- The problem is, there aren’t many people who can truly do "give up if you don’t understand." FOMO is the most deadly emotion.

There's nothing wrong with what you're saying, but it's hard to execute. When the market is truly turbulent, I still can't help but want to trade.
