When I first entered the crypto market, my approach could be summed up in one word—reckless.

Every night, I stared at the screen, switching between various indicators—candlestick charts, moving averages, trading volume... I was practically bleeding from my eyes. I listened to rumors, rushing in as soon as they spread, chasing whichever coin was hot at the moment, completely driven by the market's rhythm.

How did it turn out? A month later, my account was down 50% in net losses.

That feeling was truly despairing—watching the hard-earned principal I saved for so long get halved by the market, feeling so frustrated inside.

The market taught me a lesson in the cruelest way.

After that, I made a big change.

No longer watching candlestick charts—it's useless.

No longer chasing hot news—only leading myself into traps.

My new strategy is so simple it's almost absurd: ignore all the fancy stuff—just focus on one thing—trend.

My friends laughed when they heard: "Just look at the trend? No hot topics? No indicators? Can you make money like that?"

I didn't argue. Deep down, I knew—complex things are the easiest to go wrong.

Then, something miraculous happened.

Once the trend was confirmed, the numbers in my account started climbing as if they had a life of their own. No need to stay glued to the screen until dawn, no need to be tossed around by market noise. The principal remained stable, and profits came naturally—it's that straightforward and brutal.

This approach may sound too basic, but it's ten times more effective than my previous "full-screen indicators + chasing hot topics" combo.

Even with a small capital, there's room to grow. The key is to find the right direction. As for the rest? Time will take care of it.

The most dangerous thing in the crypto world is never a correction or a dip, but being controlled by noise and losing your rhythm. The realization I gained at the cost of half my capital is—market movements won't change because of anyone; only those who follow the trend can survive.
