Ten years ago in Shanghai, I met a veteran in the crypto community. With a simple and straightforward way of thinking, I made stable profits exceeding tens of millions. He often said: the simpler the trading, the more effective it is. Thinking too much often leads to mistakes. Stick to a system that works for you, and your returns will follow naturally.

After years of hands-on practice and validation, this method is simple and practical. Today, I’m sharing the three core rules. Execute them seriously, and earning some pocket money isn’t difficult.

I. Build positions in batches—never go all-in

Split your funds into multiple portions in advance. Only use a light position for your first entry to test and adjust. Add to your position step by step only when there are clear signals—don’t fill your account at once, and don’t place a full-position bet.
When ETH rebounded before, I used a light position to test and then gradually increased once the trend was confirmed. I managed to achieve some solid profits. In contrast, those who entered with a full position either got shaken out by the chop or got trapped at high levels, passively waiting to recover. Proper position control is the foundation for profitability.

II. Add to winners with profits—cut losses and leave decisively

The veteran always says: cut losses decisively on losing trades, and hold patiently on winning trades. After you’re in profit, add to your position according to the rhythm, while moving your stop-loss up to the cost line, using profit dynamics to create more room for gains.
In a strong BTC market, I rely on this profit-adding strategy to generate considerable returns by leveraging a small amount of capital, keeping the maximum drawdown extremely low, and always placing the principal in a safe position.

III. One moving average decides the direction—follow the trend

Remove complicated indicators and look only at the 60-day moving average on the daily chart. When the price is above the moving average, only go long. If it breaks below, switch to short. Once there is an effective breakdown, exit decisively.
This simple approach has helped me avoid sharp sell-off situations many times. Even if some big accounts urge people to buy the dip, as long as the moving average breaks, I still exit decisively, avoiding subsequent large pullbacks.

Some people always think it’s hard to predict the market. Actually, the market isn’t scary. What truly affects returns is greed and fear. Guard your principal and strictly follow your discipline—that’s the key to long-term profitability.
