#数字资产行情上升 The crypto circle can see through a phenomenon after being in it long enough: the more tricks a trading system has, the faster it tends to collapse.

People who watch new indicators and chase new coins every day think they are "iterating," but in reality they are "systematically losing money." Constantly changing strategies, their accounts end up shrinking more and more.

I’ve been experimenting for years, and the only trading logic I’ve kept alive is one that’s as simple as possible: focus on mainstream coins, follow the trend, and swing trade.

**First is the power of focus.**
Choose one between BTC or ETH and stick to it. Don’t chase AI hot topics today and switch to MEME coins tomorrow. Doing so messes up your rhythm. Concentrate your research on one or two assets, and gradually you’ll understand their temperament and rhythm.

**Second, always go with the trend.**
In an uptrend, only consider going long; in a downtrend, consider shorting. Don’t try to catch the bottom or top with exciting moves—trend strength can crush all counter-trend traders. This is the simplest truth in the market.

**Finally, and most importantly, position management.**
Start with small positions to test if your direction is correct. Once confirmed, add on at key levels. Take profits in batches, cut losses quickly. The core logic is: cut the bad meat and let the good meat run.

I have a friend using this system. Starting with 6000 USDT, strictly following trend-based position increases and stop-loss rules, after three trades his account grew to 16800 USDT. It’s not some black technology, just repeated execution of rules.

Why does this method make money? Not because it’s super smart, but because it’s simple enough to filter out all distractions and human weaknesses. The cost is that it will weed out greedy people, impatient people, and those with poor execution.

It only feeds one type of person: those willing to stay calm, wait for their opportunity, and operate strictly like executing a program.

Tired of chaotic trading and losses? If you want steady and sustainable gains, you can follow practical case studies. $BTC $ETH $SOL

BTC3,75%

ETH5,4%

SOL1,93%

Simplicity and straightforwardness are the keys; overcomplicating with too many tricks will only backfire on yourself. --- That's right, greed is what kills people. All those who study new indicators every day around me have lost everything. --- That friend's example has some merit, but the key is execution. Most people simply can't stick to it. --- Following the trend is really effective; going against the trend is just working against the market. --- Position management truly tests human nature; stop-loss is always more important than trying to recover losses. --- So ultimately, it's one sentence: choosing wisely is more important than effort. Pick the mainstream coins and stick with them; the rest is up to time. --- This logic should have been understood long ago, but some people just have to gamble on AI hot topics or new coins, and in the end, they lose everything. --- The increase from 6,000 to 16,800 is indeed impressive, but it also depends on the market; not all periods will be like this. --- I want to ask, can this method still work in a bear market? --- Honestly, it's not about the method; 99% of people fail because of their mindset. When they make a profit, they want to double down. --- It's a real wake-up call. I chase new coins every day, and it's truly a suicidal operation.

To be honest, I've heard this logic many times, but only a few can truly implement it... After all these years of struggling, I still haven't escaped the curse of "simplicity is beauty," which is a bit despairing haha. I just want to ask, is your friend still making money now? Or has he been knocked back to his original state by some black swan event? It's really a matter of execution. Most people fail due to lack of patience.

Honestly, simplicity and straightforwardness are the most sustainable. I myself only understood this after experimenting around. Focusing on just one coin—whether it's MEME today or AI tomorrow—is really the way to go. Regarding position management, the advice is correct. Small trades to test the waters are the best approach; greedy people have already exited.

That's right, only a stubborn heart can survive.

Exactly right. I'm the kind of person who chases new coins and indicators every day until I go bankrupt. Now I don't even have the face to look at my account. --- Simple and straightforward methods can make money, while those flashy things tend to push people into traps. --- Holding onto a single coin is really difficult. Always thinking the next MEME will get rich quickly, haha. --- I'm worst at position management. Often, a wrong move in one direction leads to a full loss. Now I finally understand what stop-loss means. --- My friend turned 6,000 into 16,800, which is indeed tempting. But I know my execution isn't strong enough. After reading, I turn around and chase hot topics again. --- Trend dominates everything. I need to get a tattoo of this phrase so I don't keep going against the trend as I get older. --- I kind of regret all the fuss I made before. Now I understand the principle that less is more.

There's nothing wrong with that, but execution is the hurdle that stumps most people. The simplest things are the hardest to stick with—that's the truth. I'm the kind of person who changes strategies every day, and my account is indeed getting emptier and emptier. Every time I think a new indicator will save me, but it ends up making things worse and worse.

Hmm... It's the same old spiel, that you can make money with simple and rough methods. Why do I still end up losing everything when I try? Taking a nap now...

Honestly, simple strategies are indeed more reliable than flashy ones. --- I'm the kind of fool who changes strategies every day, now my account is completely lost. --- This theory sounds comfortable, but how many actually implement it? Most people still can't resist the urge to change. --- You're right about position management; I survived last year because of this. --- Is the circle of friends starting to sell courses again? I always feel something's off. --- I agree with focusing on one coin; it's both worry-free and cost-effective. --- Go with the trend, cut off the bad parts— is that all? It sounds too simple, so I find it hard to believe. --- It's impressive to have traded from 6000 to 16800, but the sample size is too small, right? --- I just want to ask, can your system also work in a bear market? --- People with poor execution are doomed to fail; the crypto world is just that cruel.

nah this "simple system" narrative always convoys the same survivorship bias energy... dude's friend made 2.8x but we never hear about the 100 who got liquidated following identical rules during flash crashes lol
