Last year, I relied on "foolproof operations" to multiply my account by 8 times, and now those friends who study technical indicators all day are still asking me for the secret.

To be honest, if this method were shared in the discussion group, it would probably get criticized a lot. Because it doesn't even look at MACD, RSI, or those things—I’m too lazy to zoom in on the candlestick chart to take a closer look. Yet, by just "chilling and waiting", it surprisingly made several times more profit during last year's volatile market than those technical analysts who were staring at the screen until their eyes turned red.

I've been in this circle for five years, and in the early days, I also did stupid things: getting up at midnight to check macro data, drawing trend lines until my hands cramped, listening to rumors and going all in on altcoins only to get stuck. It was only when I lost money for the third time and started to doubt my life that I realized: most people don't make money, not because they're stupid, but because they want to prove they're smart too much.

Later, I simply turned off all those flashy indicators on the trading interface. I focused solely on the price curve, and surprisingly, I figured out some tricks. To summarize, there are three "primitive methods"; although they sound clumsy, each one has helped me avoid quite a few liquidations.

**Rule 1: Be a scout, not a suicide squad**

I never buy the dip when the price crashes, nor do I rush in when I see positive news—those things are left for gamblers. My strategy is to focus on a reliable project, wait for its price to stay above a certain important threshold for a week, showing clear signs of moving upward, and then I will dip my toes with 5% of my position.

Just like sending scouts to explore the road conditions, even if they misjudge, it only results in a loss of some pocket money. The key is to filter out "reliable projects" —
