#ETH走势分析 $ZEC Late last Thursday night, Old Li sat down at my desk with a cup of instant coffee.



Bags under his eyes, hands shaking badly, his phone screen still lit up—he just broke down:

“Bro, what should I do? I stayed up watching the market until 3 a.m., lost 30% of my account, and now I’m even worried about paying for my kid’s extracurricular classes…”

$XNY I took a quick look—damn.

The screen was packed: MACD death and golden crosses, KDJ overbought and oversold, SAR parabolics, Bollinger Bands, volume cloud charts...

Is this trading? He’s turned himself into a human calculator.

$BOB “I figured more indicators would be safer,” he wiped his face, “but the more I study, the more confused I get, and the more I trade, the more I lose.”

I’ve seen way too many cases like this.

Desperately searching for the so-called “perfect signal,”
Turning the candlestick chart into an airplane cockpit,
But forgetting one thing—

When things get too complicated, you’re just giving greed and fear a backdoor.

I didn’t tell him to learn some mysterious strategy.

Instead, I cleared out all that fancy stuff for him.

Left just three things:
Trend direction, support and resistance levels, and volume.

“That’s it?” He was stunned. “Isn’t this way too basic?”

“Complex stuff isn’t for showing off,” I said. “A system that someone taking care of a kid can understand and execute is the only way to survive.”

For the next seven days, I gave him three iron rules:

**Rule 1: Follow the trend, don’t bet on direction.**
Go where the market goes—don’t fantasize about catching the bottom or the top.

**Rule 2: Don’t act unless key levels are broken.**
If the price is just ranging, sit tight—don’t get itchy fingers.

**Rule 3: Don’t chase trades without volume.**
A rally without volume is fake;
A drop without much selling pressure is likely a trap.

Three days later when I saw him again—

It was like he’d swapped out his CPU.

Screen time dropped from five or six hours a day to less than half an hour,
He was much calmer,
And his trades were no longer all over the place.

So ask yourself: are you going to keep being the one harvested by the market? Or are you going to be the player who laughs last?

What Lao Li said really hits home. Everyone around me is like this too—the more indicators they pile up, the worse they end up losing.

What you said is absolutely right, it's just that most people simply can't do it.

nah the "three iron rules" thing is just survivorship bias dressed up as wisdom, empirically speaking most people who simplify that hard still get wrecked anyway

The more indicators you use, the faster you lose money—this logic is unbelievable.

Seriously, reading this article reminds me of my friend, who piles up indicators like an aircraft carrier every day, but still ends up as a retail investor. Wouldn't it be better to just keep things simple?

To be honest, Lao Li's story really hit me hard. I've seen plenty of cases where people lose their kids' class fees by staying up late to watch the market, but the scariest part isn't losing money. It's that the more complicated things get, the more you lose—that curse really does exist. Simplifying your system is really key here.

What you said really hits home. Every time I think that the more indicators I use, the safer it is, but in the end, I just end up getting lost in the complexity.
