#数字资产市场动态 $DASH fluctuates up and down, $RIVER rides the waves, and the story of $ETH unfolds every day. In the crypto world of contract trading, there are countless strategies, but I’ve found that the most profitable traders often use the simplest methods.

Many people lose money not because they can't read the charts. On the contrary — they are too smart. Obsessing over various technical indicators, frequently adding and reducing positions, staying up late watching K-line charts — eventually, their mindset collapses, and their accounts don’t grow. Traders who can achieve long-term stable profits usually keep things extremely simple.

My own approach is as follows:

**Focus on just one indicator**
EMA21 and EMA55 are enough. The crossover points of the short-term and medium-term moving averages are your entry signals. A golden cross signals a long position, a death cross signals a short. No need for other fancy tools.

**Choosing the right position is crucial**
Focus on the four-hour timeframe. When EMA21 crosses above EMA55 and the K-line closes bullish, go long; otherwise, go short. Stay away from choppy, sideways ranges to avoid false signals.

**Stop-loss must be strict**
Set it at the high or low of the previous four-hour candle, and keep each trade’s loss within 5% of your account. Accepting losses is easy; the real danger is holding onto losing positions — that’s the enemy of profits.

**Profit should be progressive**
Start by risking only 5% of your capital on the first trade. After earning 5%, add to your position, and continue to profit and add as the trend persists until the moving averages cross again. This way, you lock in profits and don’t miss big moves.

There are also some ironclad rules for mindset: don’t expect to win every trade; sometimes missing out is more comfortable than making mistakes; limit yourself to a maximum of 2 trades per day; itching to trade can ruin your rhythm; trust your system, execute repeatedly, and compound will follow.

The so-called "dumb method" doesn’t mean you don’t need to think. It’s about condensing the complex market into a few rules you can stick to firmly. This approach is suitable for those who don’t want to work 996-style hours or be driven by emotions. With practice, the win rate can remain quite high.

It’s exhausting to explore alone; following the right direction makes twice the progress with half the effort. The path is laid out for you — now it’s up to you to keep up with the rhythm.
