"When people panic, accounts fall apart." This was the first thing a trader sent me in the middle of the night, after being pulled back from the brink of a 1000U liquidation. True turnaround actually starts with a decision—stop overthinking.



Fifteen days later, this friend had already earned over 10,000U, with an initial capital of only 1000U. It’s not luck, nor some black tech; it’s just a different way of thinking.

My trading approach might be the most "straightforward" you've ever seen. No looking at candlestick charts, no swing trading, no obsession with fundamental analysis. I haven't even systematically studied indicators like MACD or RSI. Sounds stupid? But with this seemingly rough method, I managed to grow my funds more than thirty times.

Is this really luck? No. It’s the result of focus and execution.

Some people following the same path as me have already gone full-time into this market, some have bought cars, some have bought houses. They all confirm one phenomenon: the smarter people are, the more easily they get defeated by emotions, while those who "hold tight" live the longest and earn the most stable profits.

**My three-step trading framework:**

**Step 1: Leave room in your position, 30% fluctuation**
Trade only 30% of your total funds at a time; the rest is always a safety net. Don’t panic during dips, don’t act during sideways movements, only take partial profits during rises. Sounds conservative? But it’s this conservatism that allows you to survive the next cycle.

**Step 2: Follow mainstream directions, stay away from clone stories**
My list is simple: Bitcoin, Ethereum—coins with ecological support. Those small coins sustained by stories and expectations? I avoid them entirely. A real market wave can withstand dozens of manipulations by others.

**Step 3: Divide your principal into four parts, only add to positions in an uptrend**
This might be the most "ridiculous" part—I never bottom fish. I only use the second and third portions of funds when the market confirms an upward trend. I never bet all chips on a rebound.

The magic of compound interest appears in these "boring" repetitions.

Many people have told me: "Your method is too simple. I used to try to be too smart, always stop-loss reversing, adjusting frequently, and as a result, my account kept shrinking. Now I follow your 'hold tight' approach, and I’m actually making money."

That’s the secret. You’re not unsuitable for this market; you just think too much. The ones who truly survive and thrive in the crypto market are often not the smartest, but the "dumbest" and most steady.

Make fewer decisions, hold patience longer. Opportunities in the market are always there, and those who make money are never in a hurry.

Damn, this is exactly what I've been doing all along, just couldn't hold through those few pullbacks... It really hurts.

Really, the more I think about it, the more I lose. I used to analyze indicators daily, read news, and frequently switch strategies, but the more I did, the smaller my gains became. Now I just hold onto BTC and ETH without moving, and I’m actually making good profits.

I understand all of this, but I just can't execute it. I always think about buying the dip and getting a bargain, but in the end, I end up going all-in and losing everything.

Honestly, I've been using this 30% position strategy for a long time, but too many people just can't listen. Seeing someone really turn things around by "holding on tight" is still satisfying.

It sounds like a story of making money without thinking. I'll believe it half the time... Honestly, it still depends on whether the market gives us face or not.

Oh dear, it's the same old dead-end theory again. Why can't I just learn it... Stopping overthinking this is easy to say, but when the market is volatile, my head just buzzes, and I get itchy fingers wanting to trade. A 30% fluctuation sounds stable, but I'm the kind of person who can't sit still when I see a 5% unrealized loss in my account, haha. I admit I only trade major coins; small coins are definitely gambling. I used to mess around with altcoins before, and even now I still feel a twinge of regret. The most ruthless move is not to buy the dip. I've been taught countless times to operate in the opposite way... I envy you all making money, but when it comes to actually trading myself, I fall back into old habits—frequently adjusting stop-losses and reversing positions, watching my account shrink clearly and painfully. Maybe I just really want to be too smart, and this bad habit is unchangeable.

To be honest, this approach is indeed a bit extreme. I myself only realized it in the end that those who hustle the hardest in the crypto world tend to die the fastest.
