I used to be obsessed with candlestick analysis, indicator crossovers, wave theory, and all that stuff. I would watch the charts daily, study the Zhangliang theory, appearing professional and high-end. But what was the result? Repeatedly suffering huge losses, hitting three stop-losses, and finally exhausting myself physically and mentally.



Until one moment, I suddenly had an epiphany — abandon those complicated techniques and switch to the simplest "give up" approach. Surprisingly, this seemingly lazy strategy carried me from 7,700U to 14WU!

Actually, the method isn't that complicated; there’s only one core principle: chase breakouts, never touch consolidation.

In the past, I kept falling into trap of false signals during sideways trading, entering and exiting frequently but losing money repeatedly. Later, I made a firm decision to only trade breakouts, directly passing on range-bound zones. When the price breaks out to a new high, I jump in decisively; if I see a false breakout, I cut losses immediately; if it’s a genuine breakout, I hold steady and ride the wave. No nonsense—missing opportunities hurts more than small losses.

I still watch the charts every day, but not just for the sake of watching. I wait for confirmed opportunities and then act. No full position bets? Not happening. I only use 20% of my capital per trade, small positions, steady entries and exits. When targets are hit, I take profits as planned; if I lose, I stop trading. Reversing positions is a forbidden zone.

Some people open dozens of trades a day, busy with high-frequency trading and risking a crash. I only select two trades per week. It seems like I trade very little, but in the end, my account growth outperforms those blindly following the herd.

Strategies that are impossible to implement are just talk. Stability is the key. I only trade the markets I understand, and give up on all other opportunities. In the past, I was obsessed with bottom fishing and top escaping, trading more meant losing more. Now, I follow the market rhythm, avoid wild predictions. When it rises, I chase along; when it falls, I decisively short. As long as the trend continues, that’s the safest way to make money.

I’m not a trading genius; I just use the simplest logic to steadily build my position, follow the market’s breathing, and do small things to perfection. Naturally, I make the money I should.

Over the years, I only do real trading. Avoiding pitfalls and steadily making profits is my bottom line. If you also want to escape the blind exploration in the crypto world, keep up with the rhythm, and use a winning logic to make steady money!

That's right, I just worry that those still stuck in the Chan theory won't listen. How to put it, stability is the way to survive the longest in the crypto world. From 7700 to 140,000, that's quite a multiple; during volatility, it's really all traps. I also realized this after being frequently trapped by open orders—less is more, this logic really works. Stop-loss and take-profit without discounts—this is more effective than any technical indicator. Anyway, now I’m focusing on breakthroughs rather than passively riding the volatility, and I can feel that difference. Compared to those bragging about earning several times a day, moving forward steadily is truly more comfortable.

Honestly, it's another survivor bias story, but the logic really checks out. Not pursuing perfection, only pursuing survival—that's the ultimate truth in the crypto world. Only operate on market trends you understand; everything else is gambling. Agreed. Wait, from 7700 to 140,000, is it really just about chasing breakouts? Or did a few lucky waves also play a part? I trust your conservative strategy, but I have to admit, the market has been quite favorable these past two years. Two trades a week definitely makes life easier than those who get finger cramps. Not bottoming out or selling at the top—it's basically the highest realm of crypto cultivation. It's good advice, but it all depends on how long you can stick to it—that's the hardest part. Chasing breakouts and avoiding volatility—is this really the shortest path to making money? I kind of want to learn, but I always feel it's not that simple. Haha

To be honest, I've also played around with the set of indicators, but the more I research, the more confused I get. It's actually more satisfying to just chase breakouts. Going from complexity back to simplicity sounds easy, but actually doing it is hard. That's the real truth about making money. Wait, can a 20% position management really hold up to 140,000? I feel like the story is a bit too perfect... Actually, forget about theories. The ones who survive and make money are the good strategies. There's no doubt about that. Chasing breakouts is definitely more comfortable than being repeatedly cut in a choppy market, but the stop-loss discipline for fake breakouts has to be strict... Geniuses and fools are often just separated by their mindset. Your logic is quite clear. I also want to achieve guaranteed wins, but I always can't control my hands. Two trades a week is indeed an excellent execution.

That's incredible, two trades in a week crushing high-frequency crashes—that's what trading is all about. Stop bragging and focus on the charts; those who can stick to 20% position sizes are already winning big. Buying the dip and selling the top is just giving away money; I only understand this after losing money myself. Basically, it's about going with the trend; don't overcomplicate it. Going from 7,700 to 140,000 is indeed outrageous, but the prerequisite is to withstand the pullback. This method sounds simple, but how many people can actually execute it? Passing through the consolidation zone is truly a lifesaver; those who keep getting caught are just greedy.

Honestly, I've heard this logic too many times. It's always the story from 7700U to 140,000W [laugh cry], just with different protagonists... Wait, how do you distinguish between true breakouts and false breakouts? That's the real challenge, right? Not all breakouts can make money, and from a technical perspective, it's all just armchair quarterbacking after the fact. A 20% position for steady entry and exit sounds nice, but very few people can actually execute it. I've seen too many brothers go all-in on a single wave of market movement... I think the core of this method is still mindset. It's nothing new.

It's one thing to say, but how many people can truly stick to only chasing breakouts? I myself am a cautionary tale... --- From 7700 to 140,000, that increase is indeed incredible, but it feels like something is missing in the details. --- Chasing breakouts can easily lead to pitfalls; false breakouts are hard to defend against. --- I agree with operating at only 20% of your position size, but that assumes you have other sources of income. --- Two trades a week sounds easy, but the difficulty of selecting those trades is understated by you. --- I've tried the "throw in the towel" approach, but psychological resilience is just too hard. --- It's easy to say, but execution still depends on self-discipline and luck. --- This strategy feels a bit like making money just by staying alive—if you don't believe it... --- Winning all the time sounds comfortable, but the market is never stable.
