After so many years of trading, I increasingly feel that complexity is actually the enemy.



The trading logic that truly makes money is actually very simple: focus on volume and price relationships, see the trend direction clearly, and that's enough. There's no need to pile on indicators. Before the session, mark out the key support and resistance levels, then track the market's reaction in real time and make quick judgments. Most importantly, strictly control your risk-to-reward ratio, making every trade worthwhile.

I've used this approach for years and have encountered plenty of pitfalls along the way. I want to organize and share these experiences with those who genuinely want to learn. I'll talk about how to avoid common trading traps and how to grow steadily amid volatility. Whether you’re a beginner or already have some experience, as long as you’re willing to practice, you’ll be able to gain something.

For trading coins like #比特币对比代币化黄金 $BTC $ETH , this logic applies. Trading is all about repeatedly validating the most effective methods—there are no shortcuts.

Simple and straightforward is the most profitable; complex indicators are just clouds. Well said, the price-volume trend is enough to stay alive; everything else is noise. The profit and loss ratio is indeed the watershed; most people get stuck here. It's again "no shortcuts," but there's really no escape—you have to verify each trade step by step. Marking support and resistance levels and then going all out sounds easy, but it's incredibly difficult to execute. It all seems correct, but putting it into practice is a whole different matter.

That's right, it really is like that. I've seen too many people make candlestick charts look like Mars code, only to lose money even faster. The relationship between volume and price is indeed the wisdom left by our ancestors, and simplicity and straightforwardness are the most effective.

That's right, I used to pile up tons of indicators too, and ended up not being able to see the chart clearly. Complex things are often just a way to comfort ourselves. The logic behind actually making money is painfully simple. I really need to think more about volume and price relationships—I feel like I've been taking the long way around. That point about risk-reward ratio really hit home. I used to trade randomly and didn't cut my losses when I should have. Now I finally understand what "worth it" means. I'm kind of interested to see how you explain things—it feels like it could help me avoid a lot of mistakes. How do you accurately determine support and resistance levels? Or is it all just based on intuition? Does this method really work on SOL? That coin's volatility seems insane. Simplifying your trading approach sounds easy, but sticking with it is a nightmare.

Well said, but a lot of people just can't do it, really. But I'm curious, does the price-volume relationship still work during extreme volatility, like in those black swan moments? Complexity is indeed poison, but sometimes we also have to admit that luck plays a part.

nah honestly... the whole "simplicity wins" narrative hits different when your kelly criterion actually survives backtesting. respect.
