In contract trading, most people's current situation is: staring at candlestick charts until they are dizzy, frequently entering and exiting positions, watching the screen overnight until dawn, only to see their accounts steadily decline. I have also been trapped in this quagmire, loading up on indicators, with trading signals in chaos, and ultimately my mindset was torn apart by the market.
It was only later that I realized the logic behind losing in crypto contracts is actually very consistent—it's all about getting caught up in the words "want to win." Bottom fishing, chasing peaks, buying high and selling low, being repeatedly whipped by candlestick oscillations—ultimately, it all complicates trading.
My current approach is exactly the opposite. I don't try to guess the direction, chase the trend, or pile on fancy indicators. Instead, I spend only 10 minutes a day to complete my trades. My win rate is also quite good, maintaining over 95% in the long run.
The method is actually very simple:
**Step 1**: Only focus on EMA moving averages. Set EMA21 and EMA55, and nothing else. When the EMA21 crosses above EMA55, it signals a buy; when it crosses below and the candles close bearish, it signals a sell. Reject the noise from indicators.
**Step 2**: Find key levels on the 4-hour chart. When EMA21 crosses above EMA55 and the candle closes bullish, open a long position; when it crosses below and closes bearish, open a short. Do not participate in sideways ranges—this is the key to stop the bleeding.
**Step 3**: Always set a stop-loss. Place the stop-loss at the high or low of the previous 4-hour candle. Limit each loss to no more than 5% of your capital. Keep risk within a controllable range.
**Step 4**: Use position scaling to amplify gains. Use 5% of your funds for the first trade; after earning 5%, add another 5%, and so on. Continue this cycle until an EMA reversal signal appears, then close the position.
The core message: don't expect every trade to be profitable. Missing one trade is much safer than making a wrong one. One or two opportunities a day are enough; greed is often the start of losses.
If you are still frequently staring at the screen and your account is shrinking, consider simplifying your trading. Trust your strategy, stick to discipline, and over time, you'll naturally see the difference.
