After years of navigating the crypto world, I’ve discovered a phenomenon that most retail investors overlook— the more complex the strategy, the faster the losses.

Many people claim to be "studying" the market, but in reality, they use complicated systems to hide their ignorance of market fundamentals. Switching between several coins daily, rotating various trading models, claiming it’s "optimization and upgrades," but in essence, it’s just changing tricks to keep sending money. Being inexperienced and love to tinker, then feeling proud of progress—this is the most heartbreaking trading trap I’ve seen.

So, what is truly effective? After countless pitfalls, I’ve settled on a single trading framework: single coin focus + one-way trend following + swing cycle.

**How to implement it specifically?**

**First: Only choose mainstream coins, focus on the most critical**

Pick either BTC or ETH and stick to it. Don’t chase AI concept coins today, jump on MEME hot spots tomorrow, or try to bottom-fish altcoins the day after— that’s not trading, that’s binge-watching. Focus on one coin to keep your rhythm precise.

**Second: Follow the trend, abandon contrarian trades**

Go long during uptrends, short during downtrends. No bottom-fishing, no chasing tops, no betting on reversals. Follow the market’s direction; wait patiently when there’s no clear trend. Don’t use your cleverness to challenge the logic of trend movement.

**Third: Position sizing determines success or failure**

Lightly test ( at low levels to gain entry permissions ); add to positions at key support levels ( to increase confidence ); take profits in stages ( to lock in gains ); strictly cut losses ( to protect capital ); let profits run freely ( to amplify gains ).

I once guided a follower who started with a $6,000 capital, executing three consecutive trend-following trades, strictly following the rules, and in three days, his account grew to $16,800. The key isn’t luck or gambling mentality, but discipline and position management.

**Why does this framework outperform most retail traders?**

Focusing on a single coin reduces interference, decision-making is quick → Trading rules are preset, less hesitation during trading → Designed for small losses and big gains, with a win rate that doesn’t need to be 100%, but structured for long-term profitability → Less emotional disturbance on a psychological level.

Of course, this method isn’t a magic key. It automatically filters out those who chase rallies and sell-offs, trade based on emotions, go all-in impulsively, or lack execution discipline.

It’s truly suitable for traders who want steady accumulation and are willing to operate systematically and disciplined.

Blindly exploring on your own can lead to detours; following the right rhythm allows you to go further. The decision to keep up with this approach depends on your own choice.
